Those that have delivered and like to enjoy adult beverages like I do, has it been good yet or are you still too close to delivery/tired to enjoy it? I’m so close to my wine yet it feels so far from actually being able to enjoy it but maybe I’m wrong. I have not delivered but have been enjoying wine already lol. I can’t wait to have more than one glass in a row.

I cannot freaking wait this time. Margarita Thursday, here I come! 😂

I can’t wait to have more than one glass in a row. Me too but I’ve actually had less than I did w DS2 bc I’m just over the legit one glass thing. I was thinking about hving one tonight but I just shoved 6 cookies in my mouth instead. This is not like me. When not pg I always pick wine over dessert. flippinchica that’s what I was hoping to hear. Yay! 🍷🍷

I have tried to have the occasional glass of wine this pregnancy but it all tastes mineral-y and gross 😭😭 please tell me wine is not ruined for me forever! I don't remember this happening with my other two pregnancies.

I have had margaritas 3 times in the past way and craving it in between. I never drank that frequently pre pregnancy. Obviously I'm taking advantage of my mom being here. I'm also jealous of possible GTG. I live in the middle of nowhere. I think my nipples are legit bruised from pumping. I've ordered larger flanges and bought gel packs for relief of burning feeling. Maybe I won't make it EPing this time.

So I finally had my first postpartum meltdown. I asked DD to come sit on the couch with me for a minute & she just would NOT come at all. After my mom and H tried to convince her to come see me for just a second, and she kept saying no & running away, I just started bawling. She’s wanted nothing to do with me since we came home— not in a mean way but just not wanting me at all. A huge change from the constant snuggles we were getting in the days leading up to baby. I know it’s going to pass & she’s not trying to be mean. But man it hurt in the moment. But then she came back a few minutes later with a book & crawled up to lay with me on the couch & we read it together & it was the best thing ever— the first time we have snuggled or she has let me hold her in 5 days.

Ugh contractions were coming consistently like every 7 min then intensified to every 3-5min for a good 1.5hr... they seem to be fizzling out and turning more into BH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m afraid that now with having all these bouts of contractions, I’m not gonna know I’m in labor until this baby is falling out of me.

OMG, dragonflyinn, I never even thought about that possibility. I just assumed DS would be all over me and trying to get between me and the baby for his snuggles. That is good to think about, that he might distance himself, in case it happens it is good to be aware of as a possibility. I'm glad you did end up getting some snuggles!

I think my impending loss of independence is really hitting home, now that I feel we are prepared to bring baby home when she arrives! DH and I went on a date last night and tonight I'm going to meet a bunch of friends out at a charity event. I have plans to meet a friend next weekend for lunch too. I'm normally not quite so social (not that I avoid social situations, but this is just a lot all in a row for me!) but I feel like I need to do it NOW. The event tonight is pretty fun, guys grow beards to raise money for local charities and tonight is the closing ceremony. They've been growing since Oct or Nov so some of the beards are pretty amazing. DH participated last year (or maybe the year before?) and a bunch of our local friends are involved. They have food, drinks, music, silent auction, all of that good stuff.

peachesncream I think I remember you saying you were in prodromal labor with your DD2 for a while. Did you end up going into labor with her or was that the time you were induced?

😭😭😭 it’s awful. This never happened with my DD1. Once contractions started, that was it. I don’t even remember really getting any BH with her. This all better give me the easiest labor ever

easternshoregirl I thought she’d be jealous too but she basically has been super emotional about everything & kind of avoiding me. She loves the baby but I think she’s having feelings about getting enough attention (she’s 2.5). With my mom & H around all the time she just runs to them & wont have anything to do with me. I wonder if it’s befaude every time she sees me I’m holding baby, nursing baby, etc. But tonight she did let me rock her again before bed which was sweet. I’m trhing to soak up the seconds she gives me haha.

Yes, I had prodromal labor! Mine lasted two days and I could tell it was prodromal because they would slow with rest and speed up with activity. Real labor was constant no matter what I was doing and it was enough to wake me up. The perk of prodromal labor is that your real labor is going to go FAST. I think Queen Mamadala also had a few rounds of prodromal labor with her kids (I hope I got the tag right).

My contractions have been weird because there’s been no consistency of when it comes on. It happens MOTN when I’m sleeping, it happens when I’m up walking around, it continues when I sit. Gah! This is why I’m aftaid I’m not gonna know I’m in true labor when it happens. My dr told me to go in when they’re consistently 10min apart for an hour bc she’s expecting it to go fast. But, that was earlier. They were closer together and lasted an hour and a half and then fizzled off.

I had two 8 hour periods of contractions every 5-7 minutes. The only thing that kept me from going to the hospital was that they were not a minute long (more like 30-45 seconds) and did not intensify in interval or pain. I think when I went into actual labor I woke at 4 am, went to the hospital at 10 am, and had DD2 an hour later. Not "fast" compared to some ladies here but compared to my experience with DD1 I was thrilled!

I responded to dragonfly on our previous bmb but I will tell you that we went through the same thing when I came home from the hospital. G wanted nothing to do with me for awhile. It took her a few days to really cuddle with me again.

I’m so close to my wine yet it feels so far from actually being able to enjoy it but maybe I’m wrong. I just finished telling H I’ll be having a small glass of beer tonight haha. I haven’t had too much yet, but a couple small glasses of beer that I’ve been waiting to try! It’s been everything I hoped it would be 😉

rebeccabunch I haven’t yet, and I have a 6-pack of this yummy winter porter sitting in the garage that I’ve been saving for weeks now haha. I think I’m just too tired to enjoy it at this point. Maybe in a week or two. If my MN Vikings go to the super bowl I will definitely be enjoying one then!!

I can’t wait to have more than one glass in a row. Ditto. Can’t wait to enjoy a cocktail before dinner, a few glasses of wine, maybe a bailey’s and coffee... not that I’m bitter about how many delicious looking drinks everyone was enjoying at my dad’s birthday dinner tonight!

I don't remember this happening with my other two pregnancies. My SIL is going through the same thing. She’s a sommelier and she’s tried to have some red wine a few times throughout her pregnancy and she said it all tastes like blood 😧

Silly stubborn baby). Being overdue is so hard. I went in to labor after dinner (with no real warning) at 40+5 with DS1. Sending labor vibes to you and amesie!

Silly stubborn baby). I 100% understand. I was induced at 41w w DD1 and it still took her 2 days to come out, born at 41w2d 😩 ❤️❤️❤️ hugs girl!!!!
