It hurts my belly and is becoming progressively more difficult to wipe after using the restroom. Considering how often I'm in there this is horribly annoying.
My moan? Jealous of you ladies who are due before me and I have to wait until the end of the month... or longer! LO could totally be a November baby.
This. Due date is Nov. 3rd, but was told I wouldn't go past the 26th for my scheduled c-section. Now the doctor is super booked, and I may be a November mommy after all. I am SO DONE. But obviously want a healthy LO.
I'm overdue. I've tried eating spicy foods, sex, walking, bouncing on yoga ball, pineapple, raspberry leaf tea and breast pump. btw, only colostrum came out of one breast the other is dry...WTF? i'm hardly even getting contractions. My doctor will induce me tomorrow night so there goes my unmedicated birth plan
I appreciate this thread because it seems no one else around me fully understands! I'm a FTM and I'm EXTREMELY annoyed at everyone texting/calling and asking "When is your next doc appt?" "No baby yet?" "When is little man coming?" OMG!!!! I'm 39 weeks and 6 days. Scheduled for induction on my due date; which happens to be tomorrow, Oct. 7th for 8pm. I haven't really told many people because I really want this to be a private moment and everyone "acts" as if they really wanna be there. I'm so SICK of this!! I appreciate the concern, but I just need some peace! I'm constantly in pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis and the fact that my little man weighs 7 pounds and is sitting far back makes it that much harder to have patience for people. I also don't want people visiting in the first week. Maybe just a few of my immediate family members; but not even too many of them. Babies and mommies are too vulnerable right after birth. Am I being too mean? I don't know! I'm just so over it! Blessings to each of you!! This has truly been a journey for me.. I've known about my pregnancy since Jan. 25th. Talking about a VERY LONG TIME!
@tessaW21 what I did was explain to my friends and family that I love them and appreciate their wanting to visit, however, since I will be recovering an still in pain/coming off anesthesia, I'd love to schedule them at home. My closest friends (2 couples), our parents, my brother and my aunt visited the 4 days we were in. I either have the best family ever or it worked. Hope you have a great delivery!
@millereliz13 Great advice! My only problem is I have one friend in particular who's really pushy.. I haven't even considered telling her that I'm being induced. However, she wouldn't understand because she has never been pregnant. Although some things I feel should come naturally. I really don't like being rude or mean to anyone; but this is my first baby and everyone just seems to be overcrowding me! I'm really anxious and nervous; but prayerfully, everything goes smoothly tomorrow night! I hope things work out for you!!
@tessaW21 my little guy was born on 9/25, it actually went pretty well. My oldest friend is like yours pretty pushy. I tend to do poorly on anesthesia, so I told her if she came, she was in charge of the throw up bucket. I didn't see her at all, lol. I'm a FTM too, I'm learning to find my voice on lots of things.
