Re: *xWednesday 5/21 AW/SS/Random Threadx*
Would you guys do anything at this point? Call the dr tomorrow? Wait until my weekly on Wednesday? I can hobble around but it hurts to put weight on it still. Is the dr just going to think I'm a pain in the ass if I call tomorrow?
I'm sorry about your team green reveal, btw. Will you keep it a surprise from DD until the big day?
@CAMag: You are so sweet and encouraging, but I think breastfeeding twins is hard whether it is your 1st and 2nd or 6th and 7th. There is always that learning curve. I guess one benefit to having been through it before is I can recognize some of the "struggles" without worrying about something being terribly wrong (DD and I had SUCH a hard time in the beginning and it was like the end of the world for me as I worried). You are amazing to be doing so well with the recovery challenges you have!
I was GBS- so they just told me at my next appt.
At my appt today I had the GBS swab to do, and at the last minute the midwife was like, "Actually you can do it yourself if you want." Which I did, not only bc I enjoy my privacy but bc I had never met this one before and she had made a bunch of jokes about seeing vaginas all day.
When I first came in, she introduced herself and then as she was washing her hands she goes, "Thanks for taking your pants off. It's funny, isn't it? 'Hi, I just met you, I'm here to look at your vagina.' But that's what I do all day."
And also: "It's like a face, they're all different but all kind of the same. But it's not like I could pick yours out of a lineup or anything."
Made me suuuuuper uncomfortable.
...but seriously guys, between all the babies being born with our June mamas (now May mamas), plus the babies being born by people I know IRL, I'm starting to get SO anxious. I've got friends complaining about baby fever, meanwhile I've got "get this baby out of me fever".
@jclester614 that's gross, and weird.... And suuuuuper uncomfortable. You should have said "it's just as odd as saying hi, I just met you, let me crack jokes about your vagina!"
Not sure if it's just swelling because I'm at the end of the road or if it's something to be concerned about..

@lyracelesti Her loss, I did the swab myself. Now she'll never know.
@jshrop I thought I was maybe being too uptight, so thank you for validating me, lol. DH thought it was weird too when I told him.
I've been swollen for MONTHS and it's ridiculous. Asked at every appt if it's concerning and they always said no, it was just a typical fun pregnancy thing. It was only when I started showing urine and high BP that they got a little freaked and have upped the monitoring.
They had suggested to me to drink lemon water and eat lots of watermelon to help with swelling. Also, keep the fluids coming in, because as strange as it sounds it'll help.
Swelling sucks man, I feel for ya.
Me too! The dr's office doesn't always helped. I called today about my sprained ankle and she literally said "I don't know what to tell you.... (Silence)... The doctors not even here, so..." I don't even know what I expected but she made me feel like such a moron! Anyway... I found soaking my feet in Epsom salt helped.... As did walking, believe it or not (maybe it just helped circulation?). Hope you find some relief!

What?! I can't believe you got that reaction! Hope your ankle is feeling better.
