Feeling much better about BF. Had three good feeds last night so that has calmed my anxiety. The swelling in my feet 4 days pp is still ridiculous and I wish it would go away. My butthole hurts and I loath that part of my day.
Last night I had the same bad reaction to the Tdap shot as I did with DS. Fever and chills, dizzy, achy. I hate it. DH had to take over night duty after I fed LO so I could rest. Yuck!!
Good luck to all you pregnant mommas out there. I hope you go into labor soon so we can see more announcements and baby pics! ❤️
Ok ladies, I guess it's my turn! Woke up around 7 and contractions were already between 3-6 mins apart. I'm admitted and 4 cm. This ish hurts. A lot. Wish me luck!

I feel really off today. I'm lazy but wanting to get stuff done. I feel sick but wanting to eat and again get stuff done. I'm exhausted even though I slept in yet I don't want to nap because again, I need to get stuff done. I guess I'm wanting to be a lazy sleeping sick pregnant lady who wants to nest? Lol
I'm just kind of ... Resigned to pregnancy right now. Is that a symptom? Haha. I'm just like, 'K baby, you win. You come out whenever you want.' I think this may be due to my horrible symptoms actually going away a bit at this point. I've been sleeping okay, rib pain isn't toooo bad most of the time, as long as I don't move too much I don't have my crazy hip pain. So... Whatever. I'm just gonna chill and read until baby decides to come hang out.
ETA: okay. My moment of zen is over. I tried. I really did. OUT, BABY, OUT.
As for me I'm just having some mild cramping. A day overdue and I'm spending the day at our families cabin an hour and a half away.... Risky? We shall see! I don't think he's coming any time soon.
It's @Mommaswizz time! Looking forward to babyswizz's announcement! Woot! So exciting!
First day home yesterday was *really* rough. Today going better. Might be milk is coming soon? My boobs look (to me) bigger, and sometimes when LO is on one side I can feel the nipple on the other side tensing (best word I can use to describe it). Also, its getting harder to make a boob sandwich for latching purposes.
In other news, swelling in my feet and hands, pretty tired, and effing starving
@Mommaswizz yay! Can't wait to see that birth announcement.
Feeling super resentful of DH right now who has been in the yard doing work for like 4 hours while I'm in here with the baby, feeding every 2 hours. I just feel like he's already been at work all week and now he should be in here with us. Totally unreasonable, probably.
I honestly love you ladies you are so hilarious and keeping me entertained. A little update, I got the epidural around 1pm at 6cm. Seriously contractions are the worst and this epidural is heaven on earth. I haven't been this comfortable in weeks! I'm at 8 cm now so the doc says I still have a few more hours but I'm super comfy so I'm happy. Still terrified to push her out but hoping the epi takes the edge off that. Thank you for sending your love and positive thoughts!
Go @Mommaswizz !!! So exciting you'll meet LO soooo soon!!!!
3 weeks PP today. Have been feeling my letdown more and more today, whereas I didn't used to be able to feel it at all. It's not very comfortable, so hoping this is still part of the transition to the new Normal. On the plus side, my nipples aren't tingling as often any more, which is a huge relief.
Thought today would be the day, but my induction got moved twice and the second one didn't get rescheduled. Now I'm not sure what we do from here... 41+4 today and so over this.
Turns out the swelling in my face yesterday got worse. Much worse! Think Will Smith in Hitch and that's pretty close to what was happening. Went to urgent care, they ran multiple tests worried about eclampsia, but could never diagnose that. The best they could say is that I probably am allergic to the pain medicine prescribed after my c-section. I'll probably have black eyes in the morning, but the swelling is going down slowly.

Aww, that sucks, lady! I'm so sorry! Hope you recover quickly, with no black eyes. Glad it's not eclampsia!

Thanks! They freaked me out for a second. Spending 4 hours away from DS was super hard. We didn't want to take him to the clinic; MIL watched him. I'm just glad my face is normal-ish again.
Feet swelling more than usual but it's not worry some. I had some back pain last night and have been having BH and vagina/cervix pain all day. I'm so ready to have this baby.
Tired but having some positives this morning. Breastmilk is coming in (I was able to hand express a little this morning) so I was able to dab a little on my nips. Still generally tender in my Virginia, which feels worse towards the end of the day / overnight after I've been sitting with DS nursing for so long during the day.
Just taking it easy and trying to establish a routine, enjoying DH making all these various dishes for dinner.
Due date today and ................ nothing! Going to take a nap in the thunderstorm and try to relax the rest of the day. Hope we hear from @Mommaswizz soon!
yeah its my due date today.. when do i go to the hospital so baby can decide to be born again?
seriously just so exhausted. sleep is not even a thing anymore. starting to pack my hospital bag and i feel like a damn zombie..
there was a huge flash storm last night and it was raining sideways and im kinda surprised i didnt go into labour in the middle of it. you know, cause anything bad that can happen will happen or whatever. but nope. still pregnant.
So. Much. Mucous. I lost my mucous plug all at once five weeks ago, suddenly for the last few days, I've had an obnoxious cough and I've been taking Tussin, and in the last 24 hours, I've had the worst egg-white discharge. Like, if I was trying to conceive, this would be ideal...butttt I'm trying to go into labor, so...just stop...
Also, random stabbing Virginia pains, overall heaviness in my lower abdomen that makes me want to die every time I walk, and I'm.So.freaking.hot.all.The.time.
Also, hello, hormones. It seems like I'm trying to make up for all the sex I'm not going to have over the next six months lol. Husband is over feeling used and back to feeling all ego-pumped and sexy/manly about it. He's such a trooper, the poor thing Lmao.
I never got swollen feet or ankles my entire pregnancy but today, four days post partum I looked down and realized I have kankles. What the hell is up with that?
One week postpartum. Today would have been my due date. Overall, feeling pretty good. My tailbone still hurts from his shoulders getting lodged against it (he had shoulder dystocia). My milk is in and I have pornstar boobs. Today, is the first day that they haven't hurt just to look at. Good luck to all of the still pregnant mamas. Can't wait to read your announcements!

It's from all the IV fluids. I was shocked too! My feet looked like solid blocks!
Finally got my ba up!! I've missed you guys!!
About24 hours post partum and achey. Got stitches for a second degree tear. Some tearing towards my urethra that hurt like a bitch last night but seems to be better today. Lo is having some breastfeeding issues but is peeing and pooping like a champ so I'm told there is no issue. She's currently cluster feeding (already??) and not digging her hospital bassinet so DH and I are alternating sleep. So not a fan but look, I can type on handed with a baby on my shoulder! Hoping to adjust a little better from home tomorrow. Pretty scared but happy at the same time lol
Eta, apparently I can't type one handed since I was missing words haha

4 days pp- huge bruise right on left tush, obviously popped a blood vessel pushing but hurts when I sit regular style. Having night sweats. Can tell when Motrin pill is almost up when feel pain start to come down south (3rd degree tear)
Tired of going to potty and having it be a process with cleaning but know gotta do what you gotta do!

I'm almost three weeks PP and still have constipation issues ugh. I think it's BFING taking all my hydration.

On a side note, are there any other PP moms who dread sneezing or coughing...for so many reasons?
but noooooo youre leaving me all alone

Hooray @Mommaswizz! Epidurals are great.
Last night was rough in hospital, baby didn't want to settle down by herself. Scared for tonight
Can't wait for you to join the other side...PP!
