LMSM how are you feeling after a nights sleep? Gentle hugs xxoo
Lola glad to hear you're preparing and hope the drive out isn't too long.
Shann big hugs xxoo and I feel for you so much. Like you said, sounds like it was an innocent comment but people forget how powerful words can be [emoji853] and to deal with people saying you're carrying a girl when they have absolutely no idea is so frustrating! Hang in there! Not long now until bub is in your arms xxoo
Kat that would make me so mad!!! My mum has always made sure her grandchildren are treated equally. If the gender ratio was the other way do you think your dad would favour the girl though? Do you think his favoritism is gender based or more the fact he's an only?
Max I wont get to use anything like that post c-section but would if I could!
Speaking of which my dh cousin was induced on Thursday and her mum brought her grand daughter over and passed some time at our house. She was getting messages as the labour progressed about contractions etc and I'm like 'ask her how dilated?!' [emoji23][emoji23] It brought back all the feelings of missing out on labour all over again and never getting to experience a natural birth. I keep replaying ds1's labour through my head and wondering if I'd done things differently could I have birthed him after all? I was so scared at the time and feel as though my body just stopped responding. He was in distress but maybe if I'd have a different mindframe he wouldn't have gotten so stressed. The cord was wrapped around his neck twice which the doctor said was pulling him back up after a contraction but that doesn't make sense to me because babies are born with cords around the neck all the time right? I wish I'd spent less time watching reality birth story shows and more times exploring things like hypnobirthing. Sorry for the vent, I will always do what's best for bub (there's zero chance my ob will allow me to try for a v2bac anyway) but the whole labour thing rears it head here and there and I find it hard to come to terms with [emoji53] oh and its yet another thing I have to endure comments on, like I'm choosing an easy way out (like I have a choice), sometimes those comments cut worse then the gender ones [emoji22]

Pbn I'm in the same boat sweetie I waned a Vbac with Braxton and they absolutely said no way since he was my fourth baby. I would've had to go two hours away for one.
That's not an easy way out. Oh pbn so many hugs! I know the feeling so well. I'll never get the experience of labor either.

Lola- I doubt y'all have this wallpaper [emoji175] This is the kiddos bathroom. Thinking a 3rd girl will fit in nicely! It's my happy place.
Pbn - I think it's bc he's a boy. My Dad had 2 daughters and think this is just his first experience with a boy. He's always been favored. It bothers me less and less though. His comment about I hope it's a boy did sting this weekend though.
Shan - know the sting will get easier, promise [emoji8]
LSMS - please let us know how you are if you can!!

I really wanted a vbac for my second, but my doc backed out the day before because DD2 was head down but turned backwards. He thought the labor would be too long and rough. Now I'm staring down my fifth c section and have never even been in labor! Another baby-making disappointment.

Hugs srg [emoji22] I'm sorry [emoji853] that saying about remembering when you think you have it bad that someone else has it worse is so true! This may sound ridiculous but wouldn't it be something if we could be induced the day of our scheduled c-section so we get to experience even the first stage of labour [emoji17]
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Haha Pbn! I've always joked when my doc has asked if I'm feeling any progress that I don't even know what real contractions are like! At this point, I understand how c sections work for me, and it's not a big deal anymore. My oldest was an emergency one because she was in distress. She was born with her cord in her hand. Basically she was squeezing her own cord until she passed out, and her heart rate would drop. She's still a drama queen. Haha

Nice bump kat and do i love that wallpaper ! It is cute !
I am finally feeling some faint flutters which i am sure are not gas. So yay !
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
srg - that is really funny about your dd! Crazy kids. ;) Sorry you girls feel that way about your births. :( I am so scared of a c-section. To me that is surgery and really scary. I was so scared when I was pg with the triplets because they would not even consider a vag delivery. Then atfer loosing the girls, I was relaxed about the birth (mostly) because I knew I could do it vag. It was still scary for me because I knew I would also birth what was left of the girls...so scary for very different reasons. But anyway, we are all so strong and can en-dour so much! HUGS to everyone!!!
Omg srg what a great story for your dd! Babies are crazy [emoji23]
Yay Bluebooties!!!! Its so exciting to feel those flutters go from 'is it?' to 'that is!'
Shann I was terrified for my 2nd csection! I'm pretty sure I ended up hypertensive? because the anaesthetist gave me something through my drip and I called right down (heart rate that is and feeling sick/faint) The emergency one was just a blur as I was terrified for bub. This time I'll be nervous but I don't think I'll be scared at all, just laying there thinking 'hurry up already' [emoji23]

Hugs srg. I'm so sorry!
Bluebooties!! That's exciting!! Eek!! Nothing like feeling movements!!

Haha Kat-love those girlie flowers! Mine is just tan & in our boy's bathroom-it's sharks lol. That's really annoying that your dad picks favorites with your nephew... not cool!!
I've never been in labor & I'm totally ok with that lol. Pbn-don't blame yourself & it's def not the easy way out!! [emoji173]
Shann-the idea of a c-section scared me so much, but my 1st was breech & I had no choice. Then I had placenta previa for my 2nd! I had a quick recovery for both & barely felt pain by staying on top of the pain meds haha!
OMG-this article literally just showed up in my FB newsfeed. Can't believe Kate Hudson would make that comment even if joking!!!

Wow! Just wow Lola! I've no words [emoji34] what a stupid ignorant thing to say. No words smh

Pbn-I know seriously! It makes me not like her!!! How crazy that we were just talking about it & it shows up in my feed...I think Facebook is spying on me lol. "Scary Mommy" is a page that I "liked" a long time ago & this is the upcoming October Cosmo issue, so just a weird coincidence I think?? BUT yep, completely stupid thing to say!!!
Full article here & FYI there's some bad language: Kate Hudson Says Her C-Section Was The ?Laziest Thing? She's Ever Done
Hey everyone I've been toying with the idea of creating a closed facebook group so we can share pics and hilarious fb videos like the one I just seen [emoji23][emoji23] especially once our bubs are born. Plus it would be sad to fall completely out of touch after sharing our pre and current pregnancy together. Anyone interested?
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
I've left Facebook until I conceive, for my own selfish reasons, lol but yes once it happens I would definitely be interested!

I've been looking into it and I can create a group with privacy settings as 'secret' so only members can find the group and see posts. I'd just post a link in here :) mommy2apples yes you would absolutely have to join in!

Hahaha Lola that bad language is exactly the question that ran through my head when I seen it [emoji23][emoji23]

Pbn - I'd love that!! I'm always scared to post stuff on here personal because anyone can see [emoji102]

Me too Kat!! I'll create the group tonight and post the link in here and then everyone can decide for themselves whether they'd like join [emoji3] going to share the video that had me lmbo!
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Pbn-hahaha...guess the author writes what everyone is thinking!! I'd be cool with a private FB group. Keep us posted! I don't want everyone to see my personal pics/info on this public forum either.
Pbn - just make sure you only approve people you can vouch for [emoji1303]
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Kat it will only be us in here [emoji848] but wondering how I'm going to know who is who [emoji23] we may need to introduce ourselves as what our name is in here. The group wont be able to be found (search wise) nor the members seen is my understanding. Maybe if I pm the link to the group only to those that request in here as an extra precaution?

Omg kat! My belly seems to be fine shortly like a week or two after labor (even though I'm already chunky lol it's just chunky flat) but my face is another story! It's scary! Looking good also, I'd love to experience a pregnancy without a crap ton of weight gain!
Pbn I've never had to experience a c section but my sil has had to twice and I do not think it's the easy way out by any means I couldn't imagine the pain for days afterwards on top of a massive cut AND taking care of baby and other children I honk your a hero! My sil also labored her first (without an epidural) pushed for 3 hours, got massive hemorrhoids and baby just wouldn't come out s she ended up with emergency c section under general Sedation because she has scoliosis. It is for sure not the easy way out.
Kat I love that wall paper I need some behind my bathtub [emoji177] that is totally my happy place.
Srg [emoji23] what a drama queen.... love it! Ds2 had his cord around his neck when he came out and it was in a knot definitely scary and he was purple but luckily I got him pushed out fast enough.
Shan I feel the same I'm sooooo scared to have to have one I feel like I'm jinxing myself saying I want a natural birth this time.
Pbn I think pm the link would be good [emoji4]

Yes pbn inboxing the link is best. And if u dont want ur group to be searchable i think u need to set it as "secret" instead of "closed" as a closed group can still be searched.

Thanks Ash and yes going thru labour and then a c-section is the worst as everything is sooooo sore. My recovery for my 2nd scheduled one was so much better in that sense. I think I feel moreso that I'm missing out on a fundamental part of being a women (being able to give birth) this in no way means I feel this way about anyone else, its my own personal grief. My sister made an offhand comment once about us girls (her, me and older sister) being made to have babies as though she'd forgotten that while they fell pregnant by just looking at their husbands I struggled and had to work at it, then the obvious difference in being able to deliver. She didnt mean anything by it I know but it still rubbed me the wrong way [emoji23]

Yep I seen that Bluebooties thanks! Will be setting to secret for sure! Mommy2apples that's an idea too! I was more thinking we could post in the facebook group 'hi, I'm (eg) Pbn!' Then everyone else in there will know who each other is. If I pm the link then I will know only those I've sent it to will be requesting to join [emoji3]

I have to get out to the shops. Been meaning to go for the last hour [emoji23][emoji23]. Hope you all have a wonderful day/night and I'll come back later on. So I'll pm the link only to those who ask or pm me for it. So far I'm sending to mommy2apples (for when you're back on fb), Kat, Lola, Ash.
Bluebooties you didn't mention if you'd like the link or not so pm me or let me know in here :)

U can pm me the link too pbn

Pbn-You could pm me as well I wouldn't mind joining as long as it is secret.☺
Pbn3- you could PM me the link, but I need help- I've never, ever joined FB! I'll be a first timer! I don't want to do anything else on FB though, just only to be a part of the private group. Is that possible? I'm boycotting it until it becomes essential like email! I'm weird like that though! I don't want anyone keeping tabs on me, and if they want to, then they have to go about it the hard way!
Thanks!

Xxforhubby I'm sure you'd be able to set up a Facebook account using some kind of alias name and have privacy settings set to strictest. So either set to 'only you' or 'friends of friends' Just dont accept any friend requests and pick a random picture for your profile pic. That way you'll be able join and post in the group but nothing will show your timeline I think. We can test it out and go from there :) You can go to facebook.com and set it up and then adjust any privacy settings as needed.
