Holy drama on the May board. On mobile so I can't link but it's the Thursday confession thread. Their mod Erbear (who I know I've seen around) was in charge of a collection for charity on behalf of a mom with a late loss and pocketed all the money. People asked for proof and she provided poorly doctored photoshopped bank statements. Still getting through the thread and can't find the original post but holy shit that's fucked up.

I just read that. That bitch disgusts me in the worst way.

@mamrotu73‌ DS's stump fell off in the hospital while he was in the nursery and the nurse came in and was like "do you want it"? Um, no. Ew.
Oh Ewww! That's disgusting!

One of the ladies that does placenta encapsulation will take the cord from the placenta and make a little dried woven heart shaped wreath from it. It's weird. I will save baby's lock of hair from the first cut in the baby book, but I have no desire to keep dried cords, or fingernail clippings.
The doula who encapsulated our placenta gave us that! I don't know what to do with it... Don't feel like I should throw it out but it's weird

Same here. No one wants to see that but for some reason I feel guilty for wanting to get rid of it.

That bitch. Are you fucking kidding me??!!

Wow, bitch. I mean that shit is hard to keep track of but I avoided using my own bank account like the plague and I still have all of the records saved because I was fucking meticulous about it trying to avoid a situation like this.

Eta, and I pregsomnia misread the original post, I didn't realize the ass took the money. Now she is even more of a bitch.

When we first started talking about it I was worried the same thing would happen to us. But from day one when you and Karissa started the collection I knew we were in good hands with you two making sure to keep everything out in the open.

Congrats to all of the mamas who had babies! So many!!!! I loved the pics

Biophysical profile at 4:30pm tomorrow, followed by another medical fingering....errr... Membrane sweep.
Crossing every body part that I would just go into labor before then.
My mom flies in late Sunday night- I really want her to be greeted with a grandchild, not a grumpy adult child....

knotty-girl · April 2014

I'm an internet superslueth but I found out that biatches (and her husbands) full names, her facebook page, and her pottery barn kids registry. Lol.

knotty-girl · April 2014

Actually I found all her registries, and even though she's due on May 1 no one has bought anything off them except her MIL who generously bought the crib (but not the glider!!!) because bitch obviously has no friends. I guess she has a lot of baby gear to buy. Still doesn't justify stealing.

Am I the only one who is actually hoping to go in to May? My EDD is 4/30, so it's feasible for me...and really I'm just hoping for May 2nd because it's my dad's birthday. It would be kind of cool to give him his first grandson on his birthday...

@rockstarlaw‌ I was born on my grandpa's birthday on May 2nd! It's a great bday!

Ill cross everything for you as well (well except my legs, hoping to go into labor as well!)

BTW you have a beautiful way with words!

deidremaria · April 2014

@Pineconey I've been thinking about you (((hugs))) just because

Twirple · April 2014

@pineconey I hope you go into labor as well. HUGS!

Hi ladies! Just checking in, will have to make a birth announcement once we pick a name (we're the worst). Team Green turned team BLUE! Our little boy was born at 12:19 pm after 12 hours of labour and 40 minutes of pushing. It was hard, I got a 2nd degree tear but I'm over the moon now! 7 lbs, 10 oz and 20 1/4" long! We have to decide between two names now. Already home 4 hours after giving birth and feeling great! Will update once we pick a name.

Double and triple and quadruple love!

edoliesmom · April 2014

Please forgive me in advance, but I'm totally about to be "that guy" right now. X_X

I just woke up to a small gush of clear fluids, and I've been losing what I think is my plug since my cervical check on Wednesday (my husband and I also DTD that night since my NP told me my cervix was softening. Still high, firm and approx. 1cm; wanted to keep things going in the softening area...)

Sooo I guess my question is, what now? I'm going to try to go back to sleep. I put a towel down in case more happens later, and when my clinic opens up, I'm going to call and see what they think. Good plan? :-SS

It's just that with how my check went, I was sure I was going to hit 40 weeks! I haven't really experienced any consistent BH. But at the same time I don't want to psyche myself and be too calm if I should be proactive about what's going on. Ya know?

thomas930 · April 2014

@SLSchuerg thats probably what I would do, call when they open. Usually if its your water, it will continue to leak and even gush when you go from sitting to standing or when getting up from laying down.

RocksInTheWater · April 2014

Congrats to all if the new RTT babies!

edoliesmom · April 2014

@thomas930‌ Hmm.. Okay. That didn't happen (I just got up to make a sandwich), so I'm wondering what it could've been if it wasn't my water? :-/ I'm also nervous because if they want me to go into L&D, I was told a couple of months ago that they'll keep me to be induced if it's after 39 weeks even if I'm in false labor. But I guess I can leave of my own accord technically?

avidkeo · April 2014

Hey guys, just heard from @twirple, shes on her way to l&d! I'll post a thread if she gets admitted!

Yay! Go mama!

Ashleypixie · April 2014

I am so dreading my US today!! I'm over it. I'm tired of being told that she's not growing and that I should be induced right away, but let's wait a few more days and come back in. So I stress for a few more days. Is she even safe in there? I don't want an induction, but I'm making no progress, and I'm tired of feeling like I have no control over the situation!!! And the random contractions aren't helping much either. At least I know I'll have an outside baby by the end of the week, and I hope she's ok.

Sooo flipping sweaty! No one told me that having a baby = night sweat. So gross...

I only liked this out of pure empathy and the fact that we're in sucky sweaty misery together!!

Oh man I completely forgot about that one. My side was almost always drenched for weeks postpartum. I would sleep on a towel and switch them out during the night.

Me too! I'm soaked every night.

PoppySeedWindsor · April 2014

@AprilMay9 That is insane. Who does that? That makes me really sad to be reminded that people out there

@deidremaria I've said it once and I'll say it a million times more until we get to see pictures: YOU GOT THIS ONE MAMA!!!!

@cgoldian See if you can get your hands on "The Happiest Baby on the Block." Totally teaches way awesome swaddling techniques that trigger baby's calming reflex.

@AshleyPixie Hang in there mama. You're going to have a healthy baby and the doctors just want to make sure that happens. I think a lot of us are being confronted with the possibilities that our labors and deliveries might not go exactly how we wanted them too (I'm in this boat too!). It's okay. It's not the end of the world for any of us, or our babies. Our babies and our bodies are equipped to DO THIS THANG and, while it's frustrating that doctors won't often grant us the time to get it done, they're making sure everything and everyone involved will be safe and healthy. (PS This is the pep talk I gave myself in the bath this morning).

@twirple: Woooooohooooooo!

@pineconey: All my body parts are crossed for you too...except my legs...because I want to keep those babies open in case my LO decides to make it's descent.

@mamarotu73: Even though it is frustrating when he screams, I feel awesome when I can figure it out and get him to calm down. Like I'm a special baby whisperer... Even though it may take a while. This made me cry and get super excited about being a mom and helped alleviate my fear of not having the labor and delivery I want because, in the end, what you wrote is what's important.

AAAAAND last but not least, congrats and happy times to every nursing mama, new mama and almost-new mamas. I'm so proud of all of us!

Oh this is fun: I woke up this morning soaked not only in sweat, but also in breast milk!!! I forgot to put pads in my bra and LO slept a 5 hour stretch. Apparently, my boobs do not approve of this and let loose a flood of epic proportions.

Emily041285 · April 2014

@mamarotu73 last night dd claimed to be hungry, would nurse for maybe 10 minutes then snuggle on my boob and fall asleep. Now I'm not sure I know her hungry cues or not. She keeps tricking me!

Tferr02 · April 2014

My DH, myself, our 2 year old DS, our 3 week old DS, our 30 pound dog and our 80 pound dog are all loaded into our van and driving the 9 hour trip to AL to visit DH family. I am pretty sure I am insane. Pray for my sanity today.

BiggerinRealLife · April 2014

I know I'm late but CONGRATULATIONS @fireflygirl12‌ and @dani+california‌! So happy for you two!!! And so cool that you had a SON Dani!! Yayyyyyy babies!

BiggerinRealLife · April 2014

Yaaaaay @Madbloom!!!!!

(can you tell I'm catching up as I go?

)

Ashleypixie · April 2014

Thank you @ColleenSwerb‌ and @PoppySeedWindsor‌ That makes me feel a lot better. History tells me my body can't always be trusted, but this pregnancy has been going fairly well and I HAVE had a a lot of monitoring, for better or for worse. Maybe if I calmed down I'd go into labor on my own! For anyone else having to deal with one thing or another, here's a second try with a picture of my kitty in her new pet bed. She loves the car ride feature while she listens to Fleetwood Mac. I can't get her out!

BiggerinRealLife · April 2014

@deidremaria‌ Still waiting on hearing about your baby! Praying for you!!!
