Re: Weekly Questions (11/20)
As for symptoms, I don't get MS either, never have. While it is extremely nerve wracking that you don't FEEL pregnant, just stay positive and count your blessings.. MS sucks!
@MrsMiller8588 Re: Dental
Isn't it amazing how dental health affects our whole bodies? I did get a deep cleaning last menstrual cycle, and I'm happy that I did because I was developing gingivitis
@runsomewhere Re: Soda
I stopped drinking sodas regularly years ago because the ingredients horrified me. More recently DH and I have been avoiding added sugars and feel so much healthier because of it. It's nice how when you stop giving your body sugars, you stop craving them. My only crutch is root beer, I might have 8oz once a month.
@ashbub714 Re: Deli meat
Heated to steaming is best if you can't avoid it. Deli meats do have a general listeria warning, but for some reason listeria loves pregnant women. It can lie dormant for weeks, and result in fetal death (which is terrifying just to think about). This is why cold cuts are not recommended, or raw bean sprouts, or runny egg yolks, or soft cheeses. I can't wait to eat everything on the "No no" list in August

Thanks for the well wishes
you do jt again?
I did feel very present, albeit slightly loopy from the drugs. I do remember every detail vividly, so when I say loopy it was more of a warm silliness if that makes sense. I was in recovery for a couple hours because it took awhile for me to regain feeling in my legs, but all in all my recovery was easy and I don't regret it. The only downfall was the extra nights in the hospital. I wanted to get out of there so badly.
I am considering a VBAC this time, only because I never felt a single labor pain with DS, not even a braxton hicks. I kind of feel like my body doesn't know how to go into labor and that makes me feel broken to a certain extent, so I want to overcome that. The other part of me is really digging the idea of a scheduled, planned, quick delivery with the RCS. Also, state disability in CA gives you and additional 2 weeks of leave if you have a CS so I would be off for 14 weeks instead of 12. Obviously that shouldn't be a major factor in any medical decision but it is in the back of my mind.
Whoa that was a novel. Hopefully a helpful novel at least.
ETA: I am not trying to be a c-section pusher. My SIL's advice to any pregnant woman is "just get a C-section" and it bothers me. I just want to share my positive story so it's not as shameful or scary for moms that go that route for whatever reason.
My hospital is really great with c-sections though. They still do skin to skin right after, delayed clamping, baby stayed in my room, etc. I’d suggest talking to your hospital to see what they do. I think it’s becoming more common for them to try to mirror a vaginal birth experience. I have nothing to compare it to, but honestly I didn’t feel as though the recovery was that bad, and mine was a more “extreme” cut. If your planning to BF, I did have a little trouble getting her to latch in the beginning which they said was a little more common with c-sections. But I’d still say it was within the range of normal. I’ve had friends who didn’t have c’s who had more trouble.
I was fully present (though exhausted!) for the surgery. No pain during the surgery though I could feel some tugging, if that makes sense.
That was a bit of a ramble but I’m happy to answer anything else about my experience.

@amylu914 That's what I've been reading, too, along with the opposite statements.

Are they using a butterfly needle? I asked them to use them every time, I think the bigger ones definitely did more damage.
@gspmom21 thanks. It gives me piece of mind getting it done because i can see the numbers growing but man, my poor arms.

@zombiehoohaa there are some prenatal yoga classes which are amazing!
@lindsayleigh1989 i had a planned c section due to back issues. It was amazing to be able to pick the date but was told it had to be after 39 wks if i made it that far. My incision did open up in the first night and had to go back into the OR but overall not bad. I was awake the whole time and did some skin to skin in the recovery room. I had asked my husband to do immediate skin to skin till i had the chance. I was drugged up but i remember most of it. I heard horror stories from my SILs emergency section but i feel like a planned is can be a lot calmer and “enjoyable”.
@dapple88 Good to know! I texted my hair guy to get an appointment asap because I'm tired of looking like a hobo.
