OH FOR THE LOVE!!! We are all within WEEKS of having our babies. If you can't let something roll off your back or move along, STAY AWAY FROM OUR BOARD!!! Please!!!
@jen11797 careful people might be too sensitive for your comment and report I guess I don't understand if this has been the tone of the board from the beginning why do people think it's wrong or should change ?
Yeah the logic doesn't add up to me. If you hate the tone of the board and think people are "mean" then why do you come around, stir shit up, go report crazy, and get regulars banned? Because you think it will make it a more friendly and hospitable place? Hmm. Or maybe you just need to get a life. Because if I hated everyone here I would just go do something else, it's not that hard
@stellaluna14 but then the ones who try to be queen bee after the regs get banned couldn't swoop in and attempt to take over! *attempt and fail miserably* I'm looking at one person in particular here..
I think if you're too sensitive for the silly gifs then stay off the internet all together. The constant reporting is so cowardly and petty. On the bright side, once we have our babies these overly sensitive bored souls maybe be too busy to disrupt our board
Ok, seriously this pettiness is getting straight up ridiculous. Everything was fine when I went to bed, now I'm up with my usual insomnia to find this. I find it really sad that adults cannot express opinions without someone getting bent out of shape.
We are in the homestretch and I cannot believe someone is taking away all the fun (and gifs). F strong, sassy women are too much for you go elsewhere. Stop reporting everything!
I was so sad to see Butters was banned again because someone got their panties in a twist. Her posts and gifs always make me giggle when I'm at work and having a bad day.

You're right, I probably should be afraid. I've never been reported for anything, so I'm probably in line to get banned.

I've of course been mentally preparing to poop during delivery for all the world to see (okay doc/nurse/husband/photographer) but this opened up new pooping scenario fears I didn't have before. https://www.scarymommy.com/pooping-during-labor/

That women has never shit in front of her husband before? My husband and I have texted eachother dumps that were particularly proud of... Nurses and doctors are so used to bodily functions, I sincerely doubt they care and I'm sure that will be last on the list of things you're thinking about!! Don't worry bout it!!
My poor husband has held me over the toilet when I was out-of-both ends sick, and I've done the same for him. Pooping during labor is the least of my worries.
My DH is weird about that too. I couldn't care less. He and I both are easily queasy though and he did not actually watch DD be born, staying up by my head. Neither of us wanted him freaking out while I was trying to push.
My DH and I do not poop in front of each other... that is one of the very few lines we draw as far as personal hygiene. However when it came time to giving birth he didn't care one bit that I shit all of the table. He also didn't think he would want to be down holding my leg... but that went out the window too.... he was the one that told me DS's head was right there and give another big push. In labor, hopefully, most of our DH's will toughen up and get over weird phobias.
@kasg good question! I'm interested to hear others replies. I have a general list of things I want during labor and after baby is born. Tomorrow is actually my labor talk appt with my OB. I think most of the things are standard at my hospital (like immediate skin to skin, breastfeeding right away, no visitors for the first hour) but I wanted to get my ideas down on paper to discuss with her.
@kasg no birth plan for me. I figured I nor the doctor can control much during labor. So I'm just going to go with the flow. They already do the skin to skin, delayed baths and things along those lines.

We don't poop in front of each other but we very openly talk about our poop and squatty potty experiences. I don't think my husband would bat an eye if I pooped during labor. That's the least of my worries. I'm more worried about having a healthy baby!! Also my friends with kids say that once you have the baby you're always going to be talking about poop anyway so might as well get used to it.
My plan is no IV unless necessary, no pain meds during labor, limited monitoring, birth in tub. Things change, I could change my mind and reserve the right to do so, but ideally I want to be as mobile and in control as I can be. Skin to skin, delayed clamping, no visitors until after breastfeeding and skin to skin take place, delayed newborn procedures, and all that good stuff is standard practice at this hospital so I won't have to make any special requests for that.
My plan last time went off without a hitch. 1. Get epidural 2. Have baby. The end. Hoping for the same this time.
@kasg it's good to have some ideas and chat with your OB in advance about what the hospital/place of birth will or won't do, what's standard/default, etc.
@kasg I initially had a 1 page bulleted list of preferences, but realized much of what I wanted is pretty standard. Someone on here (I can't remember who, sorry!!) posted a simple statement so I stole that and tweaked it slightly. It essentially says: I want to avoid interventions so keep me and DH in the loop so we can all work as a team. Thanks! PS - I'm encapsulating my placenta so keep that. PPS - DH is allergic to parabens so don't let him touch anything without gloves because if I have to deal with a newborn and him having a painful rash I'll lose my shit.
i sent a copy in with my L+D registration (recommended), will give a copy to my doctor next week and will bring a copy. I think I'm pretty lucky living in VT that things seem a little more progressive here and I don't anticipate much push back. I also don't want anything crazy, and ultimately feel like I hired my docs for a reason and if they're recommending something it's probably for a very good reason.
I feel like a water birth would be so amazing. My house doesn't have a tub only a shower so I've only taken a bath once at a hotel and it was pure bliss. I was so jealous and "salty" when some ladies started that tub snacking thread lol! But anyways regular hospitals don't do water births do they?
@victoria98 mine does. They have 1 room with a true "water birth" tub, but all rooms are equipped with a soaking tub in the bathroom. Assuming no issues, you can labor in any of them. You can also deliver in any of them, but have to have signed an informed consent form prior (not needed if you just want to labor in there).
