Also, why everyone thinks I'm suddenly the poster girl for "over being pregnant", I'd love to know? I don't bitch about it anymore than anyone else, less in fact. Yes, it sucks at this point, show me anyone who isn't saying the same thing. Check my posting history if you want to support this, but I call bullshit.

@litera On this note, who said you were?! I'm ready to be fucking done too, I don't think any one of us isn't, and that's totally fair. But you're the one posting about how your doctor thinks you're pushing for an induction and defending against/justifying it, so yep, it was brought into the discussion- I'm surprised you would think it wouldn't? These are things that happen on the interwebz, you know this.

But it sounds like in the end you get to make the decision you want regardless of what he thinks sooo yay, it all worked out!

Goodness...if @litera is the epitome of being "over" pregnancy, then the rest of us are not only over it, but burying it in the backyard or something. Her positive posts tend to reel me back in from the edge.

Speaking of the edge, I'm pretty sure I'll be pregnant till December. I asked my doctor if there was any likelihood of being induced (and he even politely answered me!) because of GD, clotting issues, or structural problems in my hip from an old pelvic fracture. Short answer: nope. So I'll be off to join the cray cray in D14.

Yeah....I would be pissed, too! I had to go through a ridiculous amount of groomers for my Shih Tzu before I found one that didn't make me made every other time she got groomed. Even now the on we have doesn't to the greatest job every 4th or 5th time, but it amazes me how few good groomers there are that will actually listen to what the owners want when there seem to be grooming places EVERYWHERE!

@aliletz - come on now. Don't twist it like that, that is not true at all. He never said he didn't think I should have one. I don't see where you guys are getting this shit.

It's like it'd be funnier or more fucked up if I pushed AMA. That isn't the case here.

And my only objection to discussing induction openly is that some people are suggesting I want one regardless of medical advice and that is just not true. I don't know how to say it any differently. I'm justifying the actual chain of events that went down, not my reasoning behind it.

Edit: I've got a call in to the Office Manager.

So I'm sitting there on the table with a drape, when I hear Dr. D in the hallway and his shrill voice say, "39 week induction is INSANE! Is she CRAZY?!" to where I stopped talking mid sentence to my husband and my jaw dropped at what I was hearing. He goes on to say, "That is totally ridiculous, I cannot believe you even entertained that, why would you tell her it was fine?" and I hear the RN reply (a bit defensively, understandably so), "Well, I didn't tell her for certain, I'm sure you can go in and talk to her about her options." He goes on to say, "Well, of course I will, that is just outrageous. HAHAHAHAHAHA"

My husband is trying to calm me down before the Dr walks in, because I'm red in the face and ready to ream his ass about professionalism. Dr. D comes in and shakes his finger at me and says, "I hear you want an induction." to which I replied, "which I hear you aren't a fan of....." whereupon Dr. D launches into a speech about why they like them and why they don't and since I'm only 38w3d he doesn't see the need (again, if he'd taken the time to check my file I'm looking a week out and have a history of XYZ andplusalso, just wanted to DISCUSS. Not SCHEDULE. He goes on to talk about I have zero cervical progress which also suggests induction isn't the best way to go (but I've been slightly dilated and half effaced for a week) and that my chances for a C section shoot up to 4 or 5 times more likely during the induction process.

So I rant quietly to DH while I'm getting dressed at the horror that just occurred and we step out into the hallway, where Dr. D(ickhead) is standing, at the Nurse's station, I shit you not - with 7 nurses surrounding him while he goes on to tell them the "ridiculous request" his patent just had for him. He sees me, stops talking and all 7 heads swivel in my direction and it's pure silence. I was so fucking shocked I had stopped walking and stared at him. I could literally, not believe it. He goes, "I didn't know you were still here, we were just talking about you." and turns his back on me to his laptop. I have never felt more awkward, more humiliated and more pisssssssssed than I was in that moment. Was it violently necessary for him to discuss me with 7 freaking nurses? How is that even...? I mean, wtfffff?

****** STUCK IN GREY*****

Did you even bother to read your original post? What do you mean he never said he didn't think you should have one?

@ghostof5letters just stop. You are trying so hard and it's just stupid at this point. I answered Jessa and Ally because they are capable of asking for clarification without coming off like a total snatch. I'm so over you.

Just ignore me and move on to the 7 billion other people on the planet who might give a shit to have your good opinion.

Your posts aren't making any sense, come on. Even you have to admit that now by going back and reading it. It's not my fault your command of the English language is slipping because you're butt hurt.

ETA: And remember your own advice to other posters that it never goes over well when you tell people how to respond posts on the internet. You're not a rookie, you know better.

You are the only one confused here. Just because you say it, doesn't make it true. You are not coming from a place of giving a fuck, or genuine concern, you just need to make drama where there is none and I'm over you. JFC.

How is me quoting you, and pointing out your inaccuracies in your statements "Just because you say it, doesn't make it true." ?

Technically, in that scenario, aren't you the one who said it? I was just quoting and highlighting.

My pelvis keeps making popping and cracking sounds. Not when I'm moving, but when I'm sitting still. Every time, I brace myself for a gush, but nothing happens. Anyone else having this?

Hands free pumping brahhhh in L-PLUS for $9.99 on Amazon. I hear they run small(ish?) but they tie in the back so might be good to pull strings tightly if you are built smaller.

I'm getting mine today in the mail, will report back on how strange it must look to wear a bra with holes in the nips.

Thanks so much! I wanted one but didn't want to pay $50. Well, I guess this one is originally $30 and I must have been looking at the velcro closure in the back. Either way, I am psyched!

Since it looks like I'm at higher risk for csection now- I googled csection scars. That was a bad idea. I just wanted a better understanding of where it was positioned. I regret that.

Not sure what you saw (and have no desire to check, though it assume it's the worst of the worst), but my scar is really minimal. It runs across my belly, not up and down, and is low. All my pretty low rise panties manage to go right across it (not fun while healing, but obviously hidden). I know last time around it also continued to get lighter and less noticeable.

Mine is really tiny. It's about 3-4 inches, right above my hairline and it looks like a sharpened #2 pencil line. Very faint.

...I'm a glutton for punishment, and your post just made me google it. I'm really surprised at how big they are, for some reason I was expecting them to be a lot smaller, I wish I could still pretend that a c-section is a small scar

Ok, I googled.

Maybe my surgeon has hands of god or something, but I don't look like that. It's definitely not sliced into the "meaty" area of me. It's practically on top of my pubic bone.

Don't automatically assume that's your fate.

I hope if I end up with a c-section my surgeon and your surgeon went to the same school. Lol, glad to hear it's not all gloom and doom!

Dont feel bad, im having a hard time with this myself, on and off, since i just found out ill be getting a c/s due to little man being breech. I have two scars that are holes in my stomach from feeding tubes as a baby and its still going to be hard having a new scar (at least i dont know any different when it comes to my other ones)

I'm just afraid my belly fat is going to lop over the top of the scar and get grody. I'm no skinnie minnie. I already know I'm never going to model swimwear.

Everything on me right now is like rice krispies - snap, crackle, pop!

Add me to this. I can feel my pelvis creak under the strain of my big fat belly when I flip from one side to the other when I'm sleeping.

Yes! It kind of freaks me out. I'll be laying in bed completely still and hear a pop in my pelvis, then nothing else! I'm guessing it's just things settling since it's all so loose now? Kind of like an old house's random creaks. Haha

honeybee434 · July 2014

I had the front of my pubic bone/pelvis popping the last couple weeks of my pregnancy when I got in and out if bed and hated the feeling! It stopped immediately after birth, so il guessing it was just the extra weight on it?

I feel like my c/s cut isn't small (I mean, they had to make it big enough to fit the baby out of it.), but it's in an area literally no one but DH will ever see. It's really low, so I'm okay with how it will end up based on that. I'm looking online trying to figure out if I should order the c panty or something else for compression once my incision heals a bit more.

I propose we keep track of birth story stats and/or vote for titles/awards such as:

Quickest labor
Longest labor
Highest birthweight
Longest baby length
Most dramatic rupture of membranes
Most dramatic birth location
Most overdue

What else?

Thoughts?

I agree with @ghostof5letters‌, my scar is super thin and you can't see it with bikini cut underwear, it's really low.

Mine too. They've practically disappeared between kids - and my kids are pretty close in age.
