knockoutmom - Wednesday, 18 June yea i was up and walking exactly 12 hours after the surgery. the worst pain was gas pains. sound like you tore a lot!! did they give you something to put on it or some pain meds? i hope! my first checkup was last thursday and riley had already gained 2.5oz back thankfully. she said whatever we're doing we're doing it right. although i switch from breastfeeding to pumping to formula feeding and have absolutly no organization to it! im trying to stop it but i cant find what i like the best. im thinking pumping. anyways, sleep is ok. she sleeps for about 4 hours mostly then wakes us up and i pump for about 5-10 minutes then feed her that and go back to bed. shes not a cryer at all but she likes to whine and grunt. its actually kinda cute! zach of course just sleeps right through it all the time while i wake up to every little peep she makes. i make sure to make him wake up and change a diaper or two though. im also dreading the two week mark. its gone by so fast already!!!
knockoutmom - Tuesday, 17 June my c section wasnt bad at all! at the time i made it seem worse since i psyched myself up and i tried moving my toes during it knowing that i wouldnt be able to. i somehow didnt have a panic attack though since it was so quick! the only bad part was the fact that it took 10 tries to get the spinal in my back because they found out that i have scoliosis. weird huh? ill definitly do a c section again though. i havent left the house yet except for riley's doctor appt and i was sooooo excited to go just to get out! it was sad. i cried to zach today again about not being able to go out or the way my body sags or the fact that i just miss being pregnant. my hormones are going crazy. i get sad about once a day and just cry! how didnt the doctor know he was posterior? arent they trained in that? i hate how they do stuff like that!! how was the birth then? i bet that made thing A LOT more painful.
knockoutmom - Monday, 16 June me too!!! i have absolutly no appetite and was completely wondering if that was normal. i had no clue! i literally dont eat a thing except for when zach makes me. and if i do eat im forcing myself to make it healthy. riley was a bit jaundice too leaving the hospital but they said she would be ok. i think she was a 12. breastfeeding is such a pain. who woulda known? it sounds so easy! i pump for about 5 minutes and get 3oz somehow. im so sore in between pumping though. they feel huge!!
ejsontheway - Monday, 16 June Happy Fathers day to you too!! My husband wasnt happy with my doctor throughout the pregnancy. She runs the whole show and is very busy, I love her to death, but sometimes you feel neglected. This time it could have been a serious offense.. I hate to change docs, especially since this is my last child. You know how it is.
knockoutmom - Sunday, 15 June thanks! your having a hard time with your little guy? whats wrong? im having a hard time breastfeeding with her. she falls asleep or either spits it all up and is still hungry and i just dont know what to do! its painful, too sometimes. i love having a pump though!
ejsontheway - Friday, 13 June Hi!! He is absolutely adorable! He looks so kissable! And I am sure you are doing that a lot! I know I am! I cant help myself. And it looks like you had a big baby too and a tramatic experience. Sorry about that. I hope all is going well for you! Good luck!

Khristine-Hammond - Monday, 2 June I know right. I went to the doctor's today. They told me that they are going to find a reason for me to get another ultra sound. I can't wait. I know that will be cool to see my little man again. I can't wait until you have your baby so I can see some pictures. Well good luck. Let me know when you have the baby.
newmommac - Monday, 2 June I did it twice. The first time I did two tablespoons, the second time I did four. The first time nothing happened and I only went to the bathroom once and that wasnt until the following afternoon. The second time, I went to the bathroom about 6-7 times starting 3 hours after I took it and I had maybe about 3 contractions total and that was it. Needless to say I will not be doing it again, I felt horrible afterwards it also made me throw up and the following day I just felt so empty and dehydrated and sick. LOL Im only 5 days til my due date im just gonna wait it out at this point.
kerrin - Monday, 2 June Oh I am sorry nothing worked I hope ya got a nice bowel movement out of it. I haven't been able to sign on to the site until today sorry taken me a while to get back. any signs of labor
ejsontheway - Monday, 2 June I remember pooping my brains out before having both of my kids. LOL. How did the castor oil work? My BH's are getting more intense, I can feel something hurting more around my cervix area. I sure hope this is the start!! My next appt. isnt until tomorrow at noon. I just hate to go in there AGAIN thinking that something has to have changed and NADA...
