    @MrsSarahRenee‌ Baby should have 6+ wet diapers/ day by day 4. How old is LO? If you're having trouble telling whether a diaper is wet because they're so absorbent, you can fold a tissue into her diaper. That will be wet if she pees.

    ETA: What are her poopy diapers like?

    She is somewhat wet when she goes and is 4 days old. She just had a VERY wet diaper though (phew). Her poops have been black meconium. None since (about 36 hrs).

    I am scheduled for an induction on Sunday, will be 41 wks.  Dr wants me to come in to L&D at midnight to get the process started so that I will be almost ready to go by the time her call starts at 9am Sunday morning.  If all goes smoothly, what is the likely time they would discharge me?  Do you think I'd be sent home Monday night, or would they wait until Tuesday morning?  I'm a NICU nurse, so as long as myself and baby are ok, I don't need to stay in the hospital for any teaching, but I am also going to have problems breastfeeding most likely due to a reduction surgery and would love the extra attention from an LC.  I know the typical stay is 48hr for a NSVD, but not sure if induction changes things, and not even sure when that 48hr starts (after being admitted from triage?)

    Labor dust that baby will just come on her own before then!   

    Also, even if my baby decides to hold out until November, I'm still sticking around Oct14 ;-) ;-) 

    We left exactly 24 hours from delivery time. I was practically running down the halls to get out! Good luck! :)

    No, I hadn't! Thanks. I didn't score very high. I got "Lorde-level BFF." That works for me. If only I were as obsessed with cats as I am with daughter.

    @MrsBabe614 I'm the same. I didn't want this baby to be the only child because I am, and while I didn't mind growing up, it was hard to bury my dad alone. However, I don't think I can go through another c section. I didn't know they were like that. I apparently do not heal well.

    @SPurp13‌ right there with you it was a pretty horrible experience. I even asked DH if he was open to adoption next time! There's just a comfort that comes with knowing that someone is always there no matter what. Damnit...

    It's usually more than it looks, combined with saliva, etc. My DS spits up a fair bit too. Makes me sad...like he just wasted a bunch of my milk!
    After all the pain I went through to pump it too! :(

    Oh @mrssinner402, you are having a hell of a day.  No real advice, but sorry about DD!

    I may crack open some wine tonight for realz. :-<
    Are you sure she's throwing up or is it just spit up? This baby has started spitting up more and DS did ALL the feeaking time so I know that it seems like they are spitting up a large amount but in reality, it's isually not an entire feeding.
    Oh I think its just spit up. I guess I'm unsure of the difference between spit up and baby puke? :/ eww.

    STMs how is it going with your toddlers? I've had help the last couple days but I've seriously been sitting on the couch with LO attached to my breast all day and I'm wondering how the crap do I take care of DS with LO constantly wanting to nurse? This kid is not a fan of a pacifier.

    This is me too. I'm terrified of DH going back to work and he is supposed to on Thursday. Nooooooo!

    Looks like he is tongue tied. A different mw at the practice is able to clip them and will do it tomorrow. So scared.

    It'll be totally fine, @pnwlover12‌. We had LO's clipped two weeks ago. It was so so soooo quick and easy. There are very few nerves in the frenulum and little to no bleeding with the procedure. I had been so worried about it beforehand but it was over in minutes and he immediately nursed right after. The only difference was that I was no longer in pain! I'm sure it will be for the best and you will be so glad it was done.
    You guys are making me want to just get LO's clipped too instead of "waiting to see" if it gets any better for another week or two. Is that awful? :-S

    Sorry for being a PW. I missed you guys.
    Is there a benefit to waiting to have it done? If you know he is TT, I'd probably go for it now.

    I'm convinced that caring for a toddler is much more exausting than a newborn. I was worried he would be jealous, but I haven't seen too much, just a lack of gentleness in his efforts to love on the baby. I've been trying to give him some special mommy time when DS2 is sleeping, and that seems to help. Also, DS1 tends to curl up on my lap when I'm nursing DS2, so we can rock and sing songs or look at books. It isn't easy, but I'm convinced it will get easier.

    I know people who say their sections weren't that bad and they didn't even take pain meds when they left the hospital. So I was not prepared mentally. Maybe next time I would be, but it's doubtful.

    Mad props to you c-section moms. That is major surgery and you all recover with a newborn and sleep deprivation. I have lots of respect for you all.
    Me too. I took the oxycodone for over a week with my vaginal delivery. No idea how moms do major surgery with just Advil.
    My doctor gave me extended amounts of percocet. She knew I was not going to make it without. I just finished it yesterday and I'm in Tylenol with codine now. I think I could stop it, but I'm scared so I'm going to finish the bottle. No one's hero.

    You could always VBAC!  You don't have to have another c-section just because you had one.  My first pregnancy I went slightly overdue and was basically induced with an unfavorable cervix which led to a long labor and an eventual c-section.  Although my c-section recovery wasn't terrible, I didn't want to do that again knowing I have an active toddler at home too.  My VBAC with my son was a complete 180 from my labor experience with my daughter.  I don't want any more kids, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't briefly consider maybe, possibly having a third kid someday because this experience was so much better.  And even if you don't VBAC, it seems like RCS mamas have a much easier time recovering than emergency/unplanned c-section mamas--which makes sense since they wouldn't have gone through any time laboring and then also having major surgery.

    It's been less than a full day since we've been home with our toddler.  Last night was our first night home and it was a clusterfuck.  My ILs didn't listen to us about feeding the toddler until she is full, so she woke up at 3am hollering and hungry.  DS was hollering and hungry and I couldn't put him to sleep because he was just starving.  Then I had a crying meltdown of my own to DH saying we were crazy for having another one so soon and WTF were we thinking.  Not our finest moments as a family.

    My mother kept insisting that recovery after c section was no big deal and not to be worried about it. Well that was NOT my experience. 

    After 36 hours of labor ending in a c section I was completely wrecked! I don't typically react well to pain meds so I told them to just give me ibuprofen for recovery in the hospital. Then at the 24 hour mark they told me to get up and walk across the room and it took a nurse on one arm and my husband on the other for me to make it the 8 steps and every step felt like my stomach was going to split open. This was the moment I asked for the meds and I never looked back!

    Let's trade. I don't need to be eating this much.

    Went to the pedi about the sweating. He said he was fine and maybe not to swaddle him. Now we are back home and he won't stay asleep because he is used to the swaddle. I don't know what to do. It is going to be a long night if he won't sleep.

    Any suggestions?
