    I just made my first waxing appointment for Friday.  I'm scared, lol.  Any tips from anyone who's been?

    Take Tylenol about 15-20 mins before the appt.

    There is no way I would get it done now since things are so sensitive down there, but back when I was trying to catch my "hubbi", my best advice was: 

    1. Tylenol at least 20-30 mins beforehand
    2. No caffeine/alcohol
    3. Don't do it near your period (moot point now I guess haha)

    Oh and I would HIGHLY recommend getting whatever after wax serum they have to soothe the skin and prevent ingrown hairs.  The wax itself was less painful than I thought, but it's the plucking strays that killed me.  Shudder.  Just try to get the most experienced girl there ;)

    My best friend had her 2nd today. T&P please as she ruptured her uterus (VBAC) and had to have emergency CS and hysterectomy. Her LO was transferred to another hospital for some tests. Both made it but hoping for some good news soon!
    Oh my gosh, big hugs to your friend! I hope she is okay.

    I had my first bikini wax over the summer (too scared to go full on). But I guess the hair hadn't grown long enough so it was super painful because it required a lot of plucking the stray hairs since the wax didn't get it all. Just make sure it's been awhile since you've last shaved!

  • @kcp913, I will accept the Durex Fish Bowl condoms in 144 count available only online at Target, but able to be added to either my baby registry or my old wedding registry.  I am SOOOOO tempted to add it, but then, my mom and MIL will be buying off of it.
  • Ehh my MIL had four children and like 5 miscarriages.  She'd probably just be disappointed that I wasn't ready for child #2 right away.  My mom legit got a gigantic box of condoms at her baby shower from one of her friends (she and my Dad were 22 when I was born).

    So six weeks + 144 condoms = my sister born 14 months later.  Apparently, Mom didn't want to go to the store for a refill either.  Maybe I should register for a FEW fish bowls, just to play it safe!!!

    @stace0616 and @kcp913 you guys have me laughing my ass off! I haven't ever gotten waxed, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to start now. Besides, I can still see well enough to shave, so there's that too!

    On an unrelated note, I want to go to sleep, but DH had a meeting with his business partners at 8, and hasn't gotten back yet. It's not that he's not back, it's the fact that as soon as he does get back, the dog will lose his shit and bark like a madman at the garage door, which is conveniently located under our bedroom...

    Edit: Posted before I was ready... Sounds like a personal problem...

  • i was told by one of my ob's that the main things they need to know is if i want an epidural (which i do) and i made sure to tell them i don't want a c-section unless i have to, meaning medically necessary. other than that, what is gonna happen, is gonna happen and i shouldn't worry about it. so far, i'm okay with that

  • I do have a bit of a birth plan, but not so crazy as "the lights must be dimmed" or "I want to have Frank Sinatra going on my MP3 player", lol.  Mostly just that I'm terrified of epidurals, would rather not have any interventions unless it's necessary to save a life, delayed cord-clamping with skin-to-skin and attempting to breastfeed ASAP, and no family not present for the delivery in the room for at least an hour (preferably two or more) to give us time to bond with our daughter and for me to get myself back in some semblance of order.

  • FFMC: I would rather never have sex again than use a condom.
    This. Absolutely this.
    I really hope GC pulls a reveal after posting her, what I am sure to be highly amusing, birth story. I have seen that on another board. Sometimes I wanna play guess who GC really is but I think it would start tons of drama, so I just do that one in my head :) There is no way she is real.
    And also this. But at the same time I kinda hope it's NOT someone in this board because, well, I kind of hate her. But I'm a little afraid it's a real 21 year old who is just really confused, so I can't bring myself to be out and out mean. Whoever said train wreck unable to look away was spot on.
    Yeah. I don't think it's funny at all...and to be honest the fact that someone has that much free time on their hands and chooses to spend it that way is worrisome to me. When your hobby is trolling pregnancy boards with an alternate account, something is missing from your life.
    Something missing a child should not fill....

  • Just a little vent/freak out...

    Checked the syllabus to one of my classes (starts tomorrow) and am so overwhelmed by the ridiculous amount of shit for a 100-level class. I'm a senior and this class isn't even in the field I'm studying. I only have to take it because I am a transfer student and got fucked with a lot of my gen ed classes not switching. 

    She's the only professor who was giving me a hard time via e-mail about giving birth. I hope she's cooperative. I just need to get through these 4 classes and 1 over the summer and then I have my diploma. I REALLY need this to work out.
    :(

  • I'm quite positive I experienced lighting crotch for the first time today... Twice! It's such a weird/alarming/uncomfortable feeling :-S
  • Ugh stupid insomnia!! I'm lying in bed with my Snoogle (oh and DH), wanting to sleep. But on the other hand, there are still a ton of bins I could be in the living room sorting right now. I think that grape Crystal Light Energy drink at 4pm was a bad choice even though it tasted soooo good.
  • I woke up too early :-( Now its 15 minutes before I need to shower to go to work and I'm ready to sleep again.

  • I feel like such an ungrateful bitch for wishing my shower was sooner. I'm gonna be 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I really wanted it not to be so close to my due date just in case I'm super uncomfortable. I feel like being that far along at my shower is just gonna be super uncomfortable and all I'm gonna do is sit around and not mingle with the guests.

    I was on bedrest from a car accident @34 weeks that left me with some irritability contractions, when I had my shower for my pregnancy w/DS, so I, quite literally, sat in a chair the entire time and had people come to me... Most just sat around me so we could all mingle and chat without my havingto get up at all. It wasn't that bad.

    So DH and I realized that we only need an additional $500/mo to be able to not stress about groceries/health insurance once my unemployment runs out.  Which is much less than expected, but still making me want to sock away a good year's worth of that.


    Unfortunately, our sectional which we got for free from a friend, is a total piece of crap, and when DH and I sat on "the bad side" this weekend, I heard the wood frame start to crack.  Awesome.  My mom is looking at couches on Craigslist for us and keeps coming up with "budget" options that are $700+ and it's killing me to think of spending that much money on a piece of furniture that our baby will inevitably poop, pee, puke, draw and rip.  Especially since every time I see something over $500, I get sad and think "that's another month I could stay home with James".

    And this is on top of me desperately needing a Lazy Boy for nursing/sleeping.  So I'm already trying to find a decent deal on that.  All of our furniture is just ridiculously uncomfortable (save our mattress) and I can't sit down on it for more than a couple hours without my back killing me.  Which seems more important?  Couch or recliner?
    Dude, if you can find out the cost of shipping, I have a blue leather lazy boy recliner taking up space in my spare-room-turned-storage-unit. You can have it. I'm sure it's probably cheaper than buying one.

    Oh, and fyi, for $500-700, you can buy a brand new couch. Spending that much on something from Craigslist, unless it's a car, is fucking ridiculous.

    Is it too late to drop the class and pick up something different? If you don't need it anyways and it's stressing you out I would see my advisor and see if there is some blow off class you could be taking for the credits.
  • I want a Brazilian wax but I can't stand going without shaving so that it's long enough to wax.

    DD decided to wake us up 3 times tonight. Each time I put her back to bed and as soon as I was about to go back to sleep, she came in the door again. Now that I've been awake since 1:45, she's finally fast asleep and I'm wide awake. This is bullshit.

  • Woke up hungry so what did I eat? Some of my DD1's leftover birthday cake. Total fail on eating better. Oh well at least it was yummy.
