Ethan had his 2 mth check up and he is 13 lbs 3 oz, that is almost double his birth weight and at 4 weeks early!! Let's not think what he would have been at term! My lil linebacker, awww!! We'll not talk about the shots though, poor lil guy!

Yea.. my Dr. told me to tell her that only one person was for keeping the birthing area as sterile as possible, and plus with the nurses and stuff they'd be cramped for room.. It worked...!!! She also told me when I get to the hospital to notify the nurses that the "Dr." only will allow one family member during the delivery.. so no one in my family knows that it was my husband and I's personal wants.

I'm sorry that your MIL is like that. If it was me I would tell her off, no second thoughts. No one here would tell you any different. I can't believe she did that with the twins pics. I would strangle my MIL if she did anything like that or I would become my SIL, who never speaks to her mother and wants nothing to do with her either! I hope you do go ahead and tell her off, somebody's got to!

hello! congrats on the baby. just acouple more days. i was reading your comment about your 4 and 2 year old. i have a 3 year old boy and he is the same way. i have tried everything. talking, trying to help, and ignoring. he crys for no reason and not just for alittle while but for like 10-15 min. i can never calm him down. he gets frustrated very easy and when i try to tell him how to do it he doesnt listen. he just keeps crying and screaming bloold murder. i hope this is just some little phase. i dont know how much i can take. oh, and i just had my son 3months ago and it all started when i was 6months pregnant. again congrats on your baby

Oh yeah i know i can't wait to bend over, I can't for a bit cause of a jacked up epidural, u'll see that in his story soon....and wish I could sleep on my stomach still but these bowlin balls are just not conducive to that yet lol!
But looks like lil man is asleep hopefully for a while so I"m gonna drug myself up and get some sleep with him!
and yeah i'm done with sacrificing myself actually, I always get all the problems and they get nothing! don't get me wrong that's how i'd rather have it but I'm just hoping that these headaches aren't a permanent thing or else I'm gonna want to shooot someone!!

How are you feeling?
Did I read that you have a section date for the 17th?? Congrats for you!! I know it's selfish but I'm really glad to not be pregnant anymore. Now I can get down to the business of losing this weight!
And I didn't have to be cut, woo hoo!! And the epidural was great so I didn't feel most the pain till the doc was almost done stitching me up, this one was so much better than my last one it was like polar opposite....yea!!!

I had a c section with my girls. i was in absolutely no pain, just a little uncomfertable.
after i got out of the hospital i stayed with my mom for a couple weeks, but after the first week i was fine and could lift things and was pretty much back to normal.
my girls were in the hospital of around 10 days though so it took between 2 - 21/2 weeks to feel completely back to normal.
Just take things easy and don't over do it. if you feel like you need to sit down or take a short break from what your doing than definately do it,
the more you push yourself the longer it will take for you to recover!!

Hi, I think by 2 wks you'll be able to lift your older kids out of the high chair... but I am not sure you'd be able to carry them around for a long period of time. I guess it also depends on how much they weigh. I'm still a bit sore, and it's been 3 1/2 wks, so I'm starting to wonder if I'm just healing more slowly than the average person. Who knows. I guess I'd just take advantage of any help you can get for as long as you can... and then when you're on your own, I'm sure you'll adjust. Don't be afraid to take the pain meds too... they really do help! :) Good luck!

Just goes to show, women will try just about anything to be skinny!

newyearpresent - Monday, 23 June
honestly, your ob should give you one in the hospital. if for some reason they forget ask for it!!! Or you can go on ebay and get one for cheap. I really had 2 because the velcro wears off and they don't hold you in as tight. There is one by medela. They are called pospartum belt or postpartum support. I really think it does wonders for returning your body back to normal even after c-section. To me it was a type of protection against all the accidental bumps and it just made me feel "safer". Some women also use saran (sp?) wrap, plastic for wrapping food. They that you lose your belly in 2 weeks. I wouldn't use it on the c-section scar though. Good luck!

Thanks I will have to try it, his skin is flaking off not that it's hurting him I just don't like the way it looks

my girls are 5 now, they just had their birthday on the 6th of june!
and this time its only one baby. lol, we get to find out the sex on july 3rd. yay, so excited!!
and my advice would be to get as much slepp as possible cause once their here....well, there's no such thing as sleep any more. lol
and if you have a c-section scheduled already, chances are your water will break before the date your supposed to have them!!
my date was scheduled for june 10th. I was convinced that was the day they were going to be born. But on the 6th, here they were. lol
so definately get your shopping done cause ya never know exactly when they're coming!! lol

thanks it just freaked me out

Hi there, I had a c-section 3 wks ago. I saw your post on the c-section forum... I wouldn't even dream of trying to lift anything that's 50 lbs right now! My dr said I can't lift more than 20 lbs until my 6 wk checkup. And I'm healing pretty well! The surgery itself was not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be, and you'll heal fine, but I would be careful to not overdo it b/c that's where you can run into trouble. If you have people who can help you out, I highly recommend it for the 1st few wks. I also recommend getting up & walking around as much as possible in the hospital. I did tthat, and I think it helped me heal. That's really too bad that your dr blew you off so bad when you were requesting info! He should definitely be prepping you for the reality of healing from surgery. It shouldn't interfere w/ your ability to care for your newborn, though. I was able to breastfeed my dtr 1 hr after giving birth.
Good luck w/ everything.

I've had an emergency c-section with my first. I recovered as well as can be. However, the first 2-3 weeks you totally feel handicapped! I couldn't run or jump or get out of bed without pain. Imagine what it's like to live without abs muscles. My incision did not hurt, I could life and breast feed my baby. Just any type of movement that requires abs was difficult. If it is a schedule c-section you generally recover fully in as little as 2 weeks. Scar isn't that bad either, eventually! Wear the postpartum belt they give at the hospital or ask for one, it keeps everything tight and protects the incision as well. Good luck!

That's great that you've got your mom to help you out with the shopping, I had to do most of mine online since they don't have much over here, hubby hasn't really been able to put any input in either so that kinda sucks, but I make sure to show him whatever I order. I've gotten pretty lucky and when it all comes into the post office there has always been one of my husbands friends there to help me pack it into the car. I have so much fun after that, taking it all out and putting it up and such!!
And girly for your sake I hope they don't make you go to 39 weeks with twins, that has got to constitute cruel and inhumane treatment or something especially with how small you are! I do not see how you have room for them, you are a lot braver than me that's for sure!

MelisaK - Friday, 20 June
Well, I can't believe they didn't give you any more info. I am sure they will at the hospital...at least I hope they do. You are not supposed to lift anything heavier than your baby the first 2 weeks. You will have a pretty good sense of what you will or will not be able to handle after the surgery but if you think it is iffy...don't do it. As for your other children, let them climb on your lap. Just take it easy and your partner should do most everything the first 2 weeks...my dr. told me to pretend I am still in the hospital...only at home. I hope this helps. But they should send direct orders of do's and dont's the day you are discharged. Good luck!
