Can't wait to give birth

Idk if I want to give birth via planned c section, induction or naturally.... But I can't wait for the symptoms to go away and to go to the toilet with ease again. I think I can count the amount of times I've gone for the last few months with my fingers.
Yes, I am doing what the midwife told me but sometimes it doesn't work and I love having this baby in me but gosh is it uncomfortable!😅

I planned an induction but ended up arriving at the hospital 8cm dilated and didn’t need to be induced all I had to do was push!! Didn’t even have time for an epidural and didn’t realize how close I was until in the Uber on the way to the hospital when my water broke in the lady’s car

omg how did that go with your water breaking in her car?? i have this fear this is gonna happen to me

Girl I feel this. I'm only 18 weeks and my peeing has been out of control. Bout to ask my OB for an early gest diabetes test just incase that's the cause 😂 I know I peed a lot at the end with my daughter and just more in general, but this is EXCESSIVE.

that's unfortunate. I guess I should start buying adult diapers just in case. I hate cleaning up😅

well thankfully my driver was an experienced mother and stayed calm and talked me through every contraction!! I did call the hospital in between contractions so that they were aware. I was in between do I stop and call an ambulance or do I keep going. My hubby was outta town but met me at the hospital. Thankfully I didn’t give birth in the lady’s car lol but she did help keep me calm along with the nurses and my doctor on the phone

Adult diapers are going to be your best friend all the way up until your postpartum bleeding stops. Once I hit my third trimester o started wearing them because every time I laughed, sneezed or coughed I peed a little bit lol

Avatar

omg yes! My first trimester was just like that for me and the morning sickness was ridiculous, I couldn't move an inch without peeing or puking the entire time 😵‍💫 I hope your ob can help you and it gets better for you soon. Are you coping with it okay??

Avatar

Girl yes. I did not puke much, only a few times luckily. But the nausea was god awful and is still lingering here and there. The peeing started before I even knew I was pregnant and will not stop. I counted the other evening I peed 8 times in 3.5 hours. 😳😳 most nights I wake 3-5 times to pee. Its killing me. If I go more than an hour or 2 without peeing I worry at this point. Lol

you're so right. I am still a little bit in denial and using pee pads that are probably a little too small lol. But considering how far along I am I'm surprised my bladder hasn't gotten too bad (I don't expect that to last though haha). It's so good that your driver was experienced though! At the end of the day, even if the plan completely gets thrown out the window, it's nice to have kind people around 🙂

Honestly all the symptoms of pregnancy disappeared immediately for me!! No more heartburn, hip pain, breathing problems etc. It's great!

Avatar

oof that sounds amazing! Hopefully everything will go well and I can have that relief soon. I know I'll have to deal with other stuff, but it'll be nice to be able to feel comfortable and have burritos again for a change😅

I used dog training pads under me wherever I was when I was 8 months on.... I delivered naturally at 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant 😳 to my surprise ( bonus! Use them under baby for diaper change time! Contains any poopy mess and any leaks ..if you're having a son, put a baby wipe over the penis so it doesn't spray at you 🤣🤣🤣)

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
