Newbie/FTM questions?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Newbie/FTM questions?
I've got at least 7 plus I know more coming from a friend and I still haven't had my shower yet. I'll be well stocked by the time she get here
My aunt (who's had 4 babies over 9lbs) says that she learned that the lighter the meal the better. Apparently there's one point during your labor that you get nauseous, and unless you've had a light meal it feels horrible. She said toast is the best for her.
Once you are closed up they will try to hand you the baby to nurse and bond. So you will get all the skin to skin action then.

'oh sh*t am I about to become Niagara falls in aisle 12??' This made me LOL! Haha
And I had no warning. Mine broke as I was rolling over in bed trying to get comfy. I had no contractions first. I felt/heard(I swear I heard it-might have just been in my head) a pop and was like "no way" and then a gush. Woke DH up and told him to grab a towel quick! It was a lot a fluid, but I was able to get a towel and to the bathroom before I made a huge mess.
I was at home having consistent contractions when my water broke with both girls. I think know it was going to happen though and I felt a very noticeable pop. Then yes, it was like Niagara

I kinda feel like
Even though my doctor told me he isn't letting me go past my due date of December 6th. So pipsqueak WILL be here on or before the 6th. Reality is sinking in deep!
Did I mention I'm so excited! Lol nerves are just getting me right now.

After that, however works. It sounds like you are overthinking it.
You can use a special infant bath seat in the tub or just put a towel down in the bottom of the kitchen sink for comfort. Fill the sink/tub with about an inch of warm water. Lay baby down in it. Place a warm wet wash cloth on baby's belly so she/he doesn't get cold. Then with a wet soapy wash cloth, wipe down baby head to toe. Make sure to get in the neck rolls and in the hands. Pull the plug on the sink and while the water is draining, use a plastic cup to pour clean water over baby to rinse.
Make sure you have a dry towel nearby (I like to lay one on the counter too so I can lay baby down while I dry him off). The End.
Also, if you can't talk through them, they are actual contractions not BH. Keep an eye on them (just like you mentioned, you can have random "real" contractions without being in actual labor).

Call the day you deliver to order. Chances are you won't need a pump for several weeks but you can always rent for a few days or buy a $30 manual if you really to pump right away.
I know it's been discussed but I'm on my phone so can't find the posts.
