Cheese cake, cottage cheese, sour cream. Anything that is a solid that isn't solid.

I am drinking cranberry juice out of the jug, and I will not be logging it. I ate popeye's cakun fries for a late lunch because the baby kept me from eating on time. I'm making a horrible pasta for dinner, but I'm home alone w/ the baby so easy is a must.

Thanks divemunkey! Have you had any other attacks sense then? I notice pain after eating certain foods, so I'm definitely going to cut those out. I'm interested in going back to a more normal diet, but hesitant to go through that pain again.

I am completely opposite. My c/s is tomorrow and I have to be at the hospital at 5am. My bag isn't completely packed yet, my DH doesn't have a bag packed. We put the carseat in the car today. We just bought a changing pad today. I have laundry all over my kitchen table, I desperately need to vacuum, my…

I lost a bit of weight at 38 weeks. Now at 39 it is coming back. It is probably water weight. I'm almost 100% sure mine is. I have 9 days to my due date, 3 days until my c/s date. I bet you are getting excited!

I go in Friday morning for my preplanned c/s. I have a stubborn breech baby that just won't turn. I will not be out, the hospital I am using does a spinal not an epi. Once that is done and I am on the table ready to go my husband will be allowed in. There will be a drape up so he cannot see the actual surgery, but he asked…

I HATE the dog one. I hear that so many times and I can just barely keep my mouth shut. They are my furbabies, I adopted for life. Stories about super painful births or cesarean horror stories. No pregnant woman wants to hear a horror story. How much your life is going to change after the baby. Well yeah, I kind of figured…

Welcome baby Rose! (That is my middle name and will be our little girl's middle name.) I hope you and baby are doing well. Welcome home. :)

I wake up at time with headaches and major cramping. It turns out that I am clenching my teeth at night and tightening my body up. I'm not grinding them so there isn't any permanent damage, but my husband can tell I'm doing it. I have to treat the headaches like you would a tension headache. A hot shower to relax, fluids,…

I'm making my own wrap instead of buying the Moby. I've read about some of the other carriers causing hip issues, but with a wrap you wrap your babies legs in the frog position which is more natural on their hips. My little girl is breech and has been for a while, so we will really need to support her hips. I got…

I go in today for a pre op for a cesarean. My 38 check up yesterday showed that my little girl is still breech, going between frank and complete breech. Her butt is partially engaged so the chances of her flipping are pretty slim. So it's delivery by c/s on Nov 9. She is also a teeny tiny baby, right now she measures in…

Congrats!! He is beautiful. :) I'm currently carrying breech and was told that same 5% chance of turning. Same exact scenario as you, preplanned c/s and checking the day of to see if she has turned. Your little man just knew what day he wanted to come! But please tell me you saved the BWW!

I'm not sure where you are located, but in a lot of hospitals pit on admittance is pretty standard. As is increasing the dosage very quickly. If you google pitocin to distress you'll find some pretty disturbing articles. I know it can be incredibly beneficial, as can a cesarean (I have to have a c/s), but for a woman that…

It's totally normal. And for me it has gotten worse the farther along I get. I've thrown my husband's wallet away in the trash outside. I forget things he has told me several times. I do crazy random settings on my washing machine and then wonder why it doesn't take as long as it should. As for appointments, I have to put…

Have you looked into doing HIbiclens along with probiotics? Then you can ask to be retested before delivery. And definitely don't let them push you to break your water. They get even more hard about your water being broken for a while if you are GBS positive.

Your body will let you know if you cannot sleep in a certain position. I still sleep on my back at 37 weeks. Every time I wake up I'm on my back. My OB is fine with it, because our bodies will force us to move or wake up if there is a blood flow issue. So double check to see if you can. As for the wedge, I had very bad…

I have a small bandsize with a large cupsize (28J right now), so it has not been easy for me. I just bought: https://www.breakoutbras.com/product/Shaparee-Pull-Over-Nursing-Bra/Nursing-Bras to act as a transition bra between now (37 weeks) and when I can get fit for nursing bras. I ordered the wrong size (too small), but…

Just bumping to see how the other November ladies are. We should be all having our little ones soon! Has any of the early November ladies had their babies yet? My EDD is Nov 15, but I'm scheduled for a c/s on the 9th for a frank breech baby. Exactly 2 weeks left for me unless she turns.

I haven't been posting sense the second trimester board, just lurking. But I had a stressful appointment a few days ago. I'm 37 weeks and was sent for an urgent u/s because my belly was measuring 33w. My baby is small, but not so small that my OB is worried. She has some measurements that are 32-34 weeks and weight is low.…

If by licensed and certified in pediatrics you mean certified by the American Board of Pediatrics (or similar body for other countries), then I would be comfortable. One thing I've been looking for in a peds specific practice is their after hours care options. If you GP has options for sick appointments on Saturdays or…

I have two birth plans, because you never can predict how things will go. I have a vaginal birth plan and a cesarean birth plan. Some things are common between the two like delayed cord clamping, skin to skin contact ASAP, no bottle/pacifier. But for natural I included wishes about movement around the room, absolutely NO…

My husband wants to pass on his middle name to a little boy, he's the 3rd generation with it. His middle name is Ross. He also likes the name Gavin, so he picked a boy name and I picked the girl name. We are having a girl, but if she had been a boy the name would have been Gavin Ross. Very similar to Gavin Rossdale, the…

2x on this! I wouldn't call mine pornstar, but Moni and I definitely had the same look in mind. I think there are a lot of people that haven't seen a well done set of implants nude. They actually look pretty amazing. There are tons of men that prefer them over natural large breasts. They may feel different, but they are…

I have them, I love them. They were the right choice for me. It is definitely a personal choice, one that I do not should be affected by what other people think. Who cares what guys think about them? It's your body, it's your choice. I for one am very glad that I did this for myself. I even went for a slightly faker look…

I have had some luck at Ross. I didn't think I'd find anything there, but I have. I'm a clearance shopper normally so Ross is great for me. Our mall has nothing, nothing at BCF, our Target gets a cute thing every so often. I need to check out kohls and maybe I'll get lucky. So far it is yoga pants, 1 pair of shorts, and 1…

I wear bra sized swim tops. So my bikini is still good to go. If you are willing to wear a bikini still there are plenty of options out there that are bra sized and underwire. The only problem is you have to be willing to order online. I'm just going to stick with my regular one until I out grow it and let the belly hang…

Becky- I'm having pain as well. It's very low in my back just below my tail bone. I googled and talked to my OB. It's Pelvic Girdle Pain. While pregnant we produce a hormone to allow our hips to spread for delivery. Sometimes it can cause too much stretching in the connective tissue in that area causing pain. I've been…

DH and I had a boy and girl name picked out. But we found out at 14 weeks (and again at 16) that we are having a little girl. So it will be Gabrielle Rose. I had picked Gabrielle before we met, he had picked Gavin before we met so we just agreed to stick with those. We are using each of our middle names to pass on for a…

We have some established routines for our three that we do not plan on changing. We have 2 beagles and a boxer. When we get home they go straight outside to do their business, they eat at certain times daily, and have a bed time routine. I know with a brand new baby it will take time to get a routine set up, but I'll do my…

Holy cow Monipie!! You are my body idol after this baby!! You look incredible muscular and feminine at the same time.
