Due date is today so I am just feeling grumpy. Between all of the texts I've gotten asking where baby is and the insanely impatient grandparents and the crazy hormones that apparently chose today to come out, I am just feeling like a failure for not having this baby yet. If one more person tells me to "walk the baby out", I might just punch them straight in the face. I have decided that if I do this pregnancy thing again, I will not tell anyone the exact due date. It is way too much pressure!
I am still 2 days away from my due date and am being bombarded on a daily basis about where my baby is by about 10 different people. I already am anxious enough for my son's arrival without other people constantly reminding me that they think today's a good day for a birthday. Guess what? If it was such a good day for him to be born, he'd be here already. Leave me alone to NOT labor in peace, please and thank you. Also, at least wait until I'm past my due date to start bugging me. Sheesh. Angry pregnant rant over.
Currently hula hooping on my birthing ball at 40+4 days. I have been all the emotions today from happy to crying to now feeling content. Somebody said something today that has changed my outlook a little well for 5 minutes at least while we are impatiently waiting for the day to arrive just remember 'the best day of your life is literally around the corner' i hope this gives someone else a little more strength like it did me. Happy Tuesday guys, bring on the rest of the week!!! Xxx
I am officially past my due date 40+1 and idk if I'm gassy or if this baby is doing something but I am awfully crampy today.
I was really crampy the day before I went into labor. Maybe cramping is a sign for you too!!
My LO is 6 days old and had her first dr visit this morning, then this afternoon I had a job interview. This is the first time we've left the house since she was born and I'm exhausted!
Watching Judging Amy as I breastfeed this LO. Have already been to Target, Warehouse Shoe Sale, and Walmart. Thankfully my 17 y/of DD came with so she helped with Ms. Fussy Pants. Also, just finished In and Out for lunch... and it's not even 1p!
I am 41+2 today. Have had all of the phone calls and texts for weeks now. Feel like some people are finally giving up and have decided the baby is simply staying put. He seems happy in there. MP loss yesterday, first real contractions. Felt nothing like I expected. I want to eat all of the food everywhere.
Well...today is my EDD. I can totally relate to those of you annoyed with the "is he/she here yet" comments. I've been annoyed also, not bc people are checking in, but moreso because they act like he should have been here by now. Wtf...he's not even late yet.
A few weeks ago I found out my midwife was leaving the practice, which was fine because I have been alternating between her and the OB anyway and I like them both. Well last week, my 39 week appt was canceled bc my OB was out of office with an emergency. Yesterday I called to make an appt for this week and I find out she's also out this entire week. I'm currently waiting in the waiting room of the covering physician at a completely different practice. I seriously can't believe this is happening. I realize it's not the end of the world but it's pretty annoying to spend 32 weeks getting to know a physician only to make it to the home stretch and have to start all over. Just praying things work out well for me. I spoke briefly to the covering physician yesterday and she already brought up induction. Ugh! My doctor never brought it up because she knows that I desperately want an intervention free birth.
I'm 12 days PP and my milk still hasn't come in. I've seen lactation, been drinking the tea, started fenugreek, pumped every 2 hours... Nothing is working. My baby is in the NICU still so being separated isn't helping my supply although I spend about 10-12 hiurs a day with him. I'm just so frustrated and trying not to give up. I really wanted to breastfeed....
Worn out. Only got 3 hours of sleep last night and baby girl has had a very fussy day. Can't believe she's 2 weeks tomorrow, hoping the pediatrician says I can stop waking her every 2-3 hrs at night to feed. I would love to stretch it to 4-5.
My little girl is one month old today. She has completed our family. She loves mommys milk, her big sister, her daddy, and talking (or fussing). She also enjoys her exercise time (tummy time) about as much as her mommy does. Within 30 seconds she was fast asleep. That's my kind of workout.
