November 2015 Moms

what do I call this??

Can I just say, I am on my route to be a STM and with the birth of my first son I took a big ol shit while trying to push every bit of his 9lb 6oz butt out of me. Also right after I soiled myself I ripped all the way to my asshole, after pushing on my hands and knees, my side and lastly my back for 3 and half hours. No, pregnancy is not always "one push and he was out!" "No stretch marks at all!" "No stitches, no rips!" "Alllll natural!" "30 min labor..." "I never got sick once!" "I was still able to shave myslf right before I had baby!" "These are actully pre-pregnancy jeans..." Kudos to the women that experience that! I envy yall! To the ones that experience it all... I feel us... I do.. But in the end no matter how gritty your pregnancy is or how wonderful... It's all the same in the end, worth it.... I just read a post asking if her vagina was going to be okay after giving birth...
I guess I'm just ranting. Let's hear your fav/least-fav prego quotes...

Re: what do I call this??

  • I get annoyed when women ask if their boobs will recover if they breastfeed, or if they say they chose not to because they didn't want to sag. Like... What?

  • Haha that was intense, thank you for your honesty!
  • Hahahaha I'm sorry I just had to after the post I seen this morning!!!...."Is my vagina gonna be okay??"
  • I feel like all I get is the horror stories when I tell people I'm pregnant.  I honestly can not think of one person who has told me one joyful thing about their pregnancy/labor/birth (in person).  I guess the heat is making people around me grumpy.  Your convos sound much more positive than mine!
    Agree with the breastfeeding thing, especially since I have yet to see any good science that supports the theory that BFing can make them sag more.

    I remember with my first everyone rushed up to me to tell me the most terrifying pregnancy stories they knew.  That's why I tell mine to lots of ladies.  It was relatively easy.  (Lots of hours of unproductive labor I tend to edit out.)

    Every pregnancy is different. I was really just on a rant this morning. Good or bad every pregnancy and experience is a miracle and for that it's beautiful! I'm sure you will have a wonderful birth! Don't listen to me or anyone else with our horror stories haha also I had a terrible ob with my son and technically should have had a C-birth...
  • This seriously cracked me up. Thank you for being real. I needed that today!
  • I'm a weirdo and I'm a little excited about it. I feel like I'm gonna join this elite club of badass warriors like the chicks in Mad Max or something.

    You are! No matter how bad or good, whether by c-section or vaginal you are gonna be a badass momma.

    Also I know this sounds bad but I'm tired of hearing everyone go on about their huge tits. As someone who doesn't produce milk and whose breasts don't get bigger it always makes me feel like less than a woman cause I can't do this one simple task :(
  • It's definitely nothing you'll ever forget! Haha

    As strange as this sounds, I really hope to experience labor this time. I never seen a delivery room (I have a daughter). I went from 3cm dilated and fully effaced in the triage room to the OR when her heart rate started dropping below 80 and had to have an emergancy c-section. I'm going for a Vbac and I really really hope I can actually make it to a delivery room to push!!!
    Now remind me I said this come November haha!!

    I knew this feeling exactly! My first was a scheduled section. My second was a successful VBAC. I will say either way it was worth it! Both my births were unique just as my two boys from it are. :) We will see what this third boy has in store for us! Both my boys came early so wondering if this one will be the one that comes late. ;)

    I really hope I forget this story come November. Any who, as a FTM I'm really sick of EVERYBODY in my life giving me pregnancy "advice". You're an eighteen year old boy, what advice could you possibly give me? Oh, the high heartbeat my kid had at 8 weeks means girl? I thought that was a 50/50 chance.

  • I saw the best t shirt the other day: In like a banana, out like a pineapple!

    I've never heard that before but now I can't get the image of birthing a pineapple (leaves and all) out of my mind.

    I'm team green, and I think it's hilarious how all my coworkers have a strong opinion on if the baby is a boy or a girl. Like "You've popped early! It's definitely a girl, I popped early with my daughter!"

    The next day, one of my coworkers was amazed at how small I am! Lol.

    Bahahah!! I'm dying!! This is too great!

    I've heard numerous of stories, both the good and bad. So I know not everyone will experience the same things, but the ignorance of asking if your "vaginia will be okay?" Annoys me and I'm a ftm! Do some research please!

    I waited juuuust enough time between kids  to forget how awful it feels, now it's all coming back to me in an ass ripping fury. Thank you for that!

  • I'm actually not really nervous about birth, which has gotten me quite a few eye rolls from my moms, who have both been through it. I hate that "just you wait, it's going to be awful" speech I get from people. I feel like it will be a million times worse if I go into it scared as shit, so I'm just trying to stay positive about it. Maybe I'll eat my own words in November, but I hope not.

    I love your attitude! I'm terrified that I'll flake out when I'm actually in labour and won't be able to manage the pain. I really need to work on my PMA. I hope some of your warrior strength rubs off on me over the next few months!

    You have the right mentality!  Every woman is different and experiences labor and delivery differently.  Don't let anyone make you nervous.  I was so freaked out about delivering DS and honestly... it wasn't bad!  I was never admit that to DH cause I like having that card in my back pocket.  I was VERY lucky and had no complications during labor and delivery so that certainly helped, but I thought the pain factor was incredibly over hyped!  I remember thinking "Huh.. so that is what all the fuss was about".  Good luck and best wishes!  You'll do great no matter how LO gets here.
  • I'm so tired of the "my little tear hardly hurt". Dammit, I almost fainted when my doctor pulled out those scissors. Let me tell you, you do NOT want scissors near your vagina even if you are numb and half delirious.
