    I'm 4 weeks postpartum. Bleeding stopped a little over a week ago. Had some cramps this morning, and bleeding again, medium flow. Could this be first period, or more lochia? It's been almost 8 yrs since I had my dd so I can't remember when my period returned.

    Could possibly be a bit of retained placenta. I would let your OB or midwife know. Good luck!

    In L&D after an hour of monitoring I've dilated another centimeter, so they're keeping us! Thoughts and prayers greatly appreciated!

    Good luck!

    I have been taking senna a stool softener here at the hospital but just haven't had the urge! We go home tomorrow and I will load up on miralax and hopefully go then.

    @Taymiller‌ I took a stool softener and a laxative at the hospital on wed when I had him. Ate Larabars everyday too since I had some left and I still didn't go until Fri night. Pretty sure I totally emptied out during labor and that's why it took so long.

     

    IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.

    @CJnKR2014‌ I glad things are better!

    After a week of 5:30 wake ups, C slept until 6:30 this morning! Her little brother had me up for a long time in the middle of the night, so that extra hour was bliss.

    I'm freaking out. My friend did our maternity pictures and was going to do newborn pictures. She's been acting kind of funny so I asked her if she could come over this week and do them. She told me she was having issues with her camera and now can't do them. I debated finding An actual photographer to begin with. Now I'm kicking myself in the ass. By the time we get them scheduled C will be out of the sleepy newborn phase!

    Maybe explain your flaky friend situation and see if someone can squeeze you in? New baby pictures will still be sweet even if he's a little older.

    I'm a little over 2 weeks PP. today I cleaned up the house and went on a short walk. While walking, I had a gush of blood soak through my underwear but no bleeding after. Dr. Google is mixed - mostly says to take it easy and call if I soak through a pad, which I don't think it would have. Wwj14d?

    Eta: I had stopped bleeding so I wasn't using a pad. Maybe I just over exerted myself?

    I would say you probably overexerted yourself. Take it easy and see if that makes a difference.

    @elsa1688‌ I am in the same boat. If I over exert I start bleeding again for an afternoon or so. I called it in and was told its completely normal. Its also normal for it to happen without any exertion, so I just keep wearing pads.

    I've contacted two. One seems to be available and I haven't heard back from the other yet. The first one is a little more expensive, her work is good and I think I'd be satisfied (especially since I could end up not having any). The other is a little less expensive and I love her work. I'm really hoping she can fit us in.

    @ricecakes1216‌ - good luck, I hope you get the one you want.

    On the subject of newborn photos, what's the general time frame to get them done?

    I have read around 10-14 days is ideal because they are still really sleepy.

    Our photographer said less than 10 days is best. We did ours at a week old and it was almost too late.

    I think it depends on the baby and the poses you want. We got ours done at two days shy of three weeks and I really like them...but, we were unable to do some of the more common super bendy newborn poses. It is possible to do them later, just maybe not all the poses you want.

    This gives me hope. My guy is big already so I don't want him to get too big before pictures.

    @emilyh107‌ Amazing!! I'm jealous ;)

    I went to bed after feeding LO at 9pm and my husband gave the baby a bottle of pumped BM at 11pm, so I got to sleep from 9-2! It was amazing. When I woke up I was painfully engorged, but pumped just for a min or two on each side to relieve pressure & so baby could latch. We don't plan on doing this every night but maybe just on the weekends so I have something to look forward to ;) I so wish that it could be done every night but I worry about messing with my supply & the engorgement. Has anyone figured out a way to make it possible for your DH to feed baby while you sleep and pretty much miss a feeding?

    I haven't started yet so I don't have all the details but here's the general idea from my pedi. She said around 3-4 weeks, pump after the first am feeding when your supply is highest and save it. Then you can sleep and that bottle replaces a evening feeding. I asked and she wasn't worried about it effecting supply.

    I nursed yesterday for the first time with other people in the room. It was a little tough to figure out but I didn't feel uncomfortable which surprised me. Not sure how BIL felt about it but o well. Only problem was she got too hot under the blanket so wouldn't eat.
    When I was BFing in the hospital, I didn't give a crap who was in the room. I didn't even bother covering up. But since I've been home, I've oddly been really weird about it.

    I have nursed in public and in front of visitors and at dinner with my DF extended family (with a cover or blanket). I just felt weird about my dad. J was hungry as soon as we got him though and it was nbd. :)
