CJwaiting4no3`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll The afterpains with my second child were horrendous (something I never had with the first), I am more worried about the afterpains with my third baby than the birth itself (will just have gas & air as pain relief). Is it true that they get worse with each baby?
(Pregnancy poll by CJwaiting4no3, 1172 days ago)
Yes they get more agonising each time.
What after-pains? I have epidurals so don't feel a thing!
I have had after-pains with subsequent pregnancies but they remain constant, haven't noticed them getting worse each time.
I'll comment.

oh great now I`m worried about pains with this one. I didn`t have or remember much from my first.

The pain while you`re feeding is exactly what I`m talking about! I didn`t have it with my first (which I think is the norm) and it took me by surprise after my 2nd as I wasn`t expecting it at all. It would never stop me breastfeeding so I`d better resign myself to the fact it`s gonna get worse!! CJ!

i had hardly any with my first, if its those awful cramps were talking about,, everyone asked me about it when i nursed him and i thought they were just wussies or something.. but with my second.. holy crap they were terrible. i got more pitocin after she was born and i didnt with my son,, but for the next few days and especially when i was feeding it was awful!

Oh I soooo remember the after birth pains...I am on my 2nd right now and it was so bad with my 1st so I am really worried about it too..I did hear it gets worst with each baby but I don`t know yet. I should find out in few weeks. Good luck to you!! I hope its not as bad as we remember hahaha...

It doesn`t matter if you had an epidural. That wears off about an hour after delivery and you still get to feel the afterpains. They told me too that they get worse with subsequent pg`s, but it wasn`t as bad with my third baby. Possibly because she was two lbs smaller than the one before her. But my second was deff worse than the first one. But they did give me Motrin 800 and Percoset to help with the after pains. Not sure how bad they will be this time. I guess it could go either way.

I never noticed any after pains with any of my births or I don`t remember them

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
