Postpartum appt

blushingbride_08 · September 2014

I had my 6 weeks postpartum appt and left feeling down. I went to give a urine sample and they said no it's not needed this time. Bummer since I was getting so good at peeing in a cup. Then I got weighed in and sadly I haven't lost that much weight since my last visit at 39 weeks. Then it dawned on me that there's no more baby inside me to feel and see on ultrasound. Plus this was my last pregnancy god willing, Mind you I'm so happy to have a healthy baby but it's kind of sad that all of the excitement I had during my doc appts came to an end. I even wanted to hug my doc. Am I being hormonal! Is anyone feeling the same?

I go Thursday and I'm scheduling my tubal. I may hug my doc just for that

I don't have mine for two more weeks, and God smack me... I kind of miss being pregnant!

:-O

Wtf is wrong with me? It's soooooo hard having two babies, I cannot do this again, at least, not for a couple years so the babies were older. But I hate this last pp appt. It's so depressing.

You could do it. Honest to goodness going from 1 to 2 was the most difficult for me.

Yeah... But going from 3 to 4 with 3u3? I would probably lose my marbles. There are days when I'm not sure I will survive as it is!

I had my last pp visit today and was super sad. I heart my OB big time and all the ladies that work in his office. Our insurance switched so I won't get to use him in the future

I also miss being pregnant! What's up with that? I was so miserable towards the end! Someone smack me!

I miss being pregnant, too. Not the last two weeks, but the rest of it. Even though I want to have more, I'm no spring chicken, so you never know. At least I get to see her again for my pap in December. LOL.

Dude. Going from 1 to 2U2 is HELL. Just throwing that out there.

I'm just excited to (hopefully) get cleared for exercise! I'm dying to start running again! I also want to know that I don't have any healing issues like I did last time, really hoping to avoid having liquid nitrogen on my vag again.

This was our last planned baby, and I can't say I miss being pregnant, or wish to have more. Nope. I'm good.

The thing I miss about being pregnant was having him with me all the time. I'm dreading going back to work (even though it's still 7 weeks away). At least his daycare is in the same location as my office. Silver lining, right?

I have my appt in 3 1/2 hours and I'm nervous. I'm not a huge fan of the dr who delivered LO (big practice and he was on call) and after the way he handled things when they got rough, I'm afraid seeing him will bring back that terrible feeling. My anxiety is sky high right now. Oh and DS just slept 7 1/2 hours (he's 6 weeks on Wednesday) and it scared me. I woke him up when I checked to make sure he was breathing...I wonder how much longer he would have slept. Dr says no need to wake him at night, but, too much sleep freaks me out.

I'm good with my outside baby. Maybe will feel differently in a few years when we try for a second, but I'm enjoying all the things about not being pregnant. Like wine. Lots of wine.

My pp appointment isn't until oct 1, but I miss being pregnant. I cried about it the week after delivery. In the last weeks I wanted her out because I was so scared that something would go wrong (oh e pgal/PAIF brain). After she was born I missed being pregnant because she wasn't with me all of the time. I thought I would worry less once she was born, but I worry more if she isn't with me. Going back to work will be tough. Also, being PAIF, I felt such a sense of accomplishment in being pregnant. I know that having the baby is the real "prize," but I guess I feel sad that I may never be pregnant again. I may never feel another baby move from in there or watch as the baby kicks and makes my belly go into crazy jiggles. Of course, DH attributes all of these feelings to hormones. He remembers me complaining a lot about acid reflux and severe itching in the he last weeks
