Not sure if ive checked in but I also got mastitis last week. Seems to be the curse of our bmb. My supply dropped like crazy, larzmini only gained .7 Oz last week 🙁
They also found a tongue and lip tie so they snipped those on Monday but my right breast seems to be producing next to nothing and my left breast is in overdrive and I'm constantly massaging out clogged ducts.
Add to that yesterday my mom went to run errands for a few hours so it was my first few hours solo with the baby and she screamed the entire time. My mom came back to us both crying. This is so hard!!
Commiserating with you all with clogged ducts and mastitis and hoping it passes soon.

I honestly think a spinal scares me more than the actual c-section part. Do not want any needles in my spine.
I have an appt with one of the other OBs in a couple hours and I think I still feel a head at the top of my stomach. I spent a lot of time crying yestersay and I'm probably going to have to try really hard not to cry in the office

I don't think I mentioned it, but we all caught colds right after DS was born and I am still working through all of the phlegm and it's driving me nuts!

You have every right to be upset and emotional right now even if you know it will all be ok. Good luck at your appointment.

Just had my appointment and my cervix is still closed. I know that I had no signs of labor before I actually went into labor at 40 weeks with C so it doesn't mean much but I couldn't help but hope. Imma need this baby to vacate the premises very soon.

mrsweasley hopefully it's something other than the head you think you feel! The nurse just brought F over to try to feed again, but he took like 2 sips and was over it. So we had a little bit of a cuddle, and then when the nurse came to clean me up a bit my bff got to hold him for a few minutes. She came to sit with me so H could go home and have a snooze. She can't get over how small he is.

I’m sorry your having such a rough time armpants. Mastitis sucks and dealing with that and fever spikes has got to be rough. Hope the doctors can find the drugs that will work for you soon.

I’m 40 w 3 days today and no sign of baby coming anytime soon. robot, I’m going to end up joining you in the forever pregnant camp. (Although you give me hope that I’ll have this baby earlier than DD who was born at 41+5 by having your little at 41+4 🤪). Every pregnant woman I know IRL has had their baby before their EDD this year-I’m going crazy.

So I met with the other OB and we're going to try a version. I think I would regret it if we didn't try. He feels my chances are 50/50 and if it doesn't work we can decide to do a c-section right then or wait for labor. If the version is successful and I'm dilated enough to break my water we can also try that or wait. He also feels since I've had 2 previous vaginal deliveries I would likely have a successful breech delivery if we tried that. It's a lot to think about. The version is scheduled for Fri morning.
MH is convinced we'll have a baby before the weekend. I told him to stop jinxing me because this was supposed to be my easy baby and I've had enough

Omg. My dad told some cousins they could stop by this afternoon. Which I was fine with because they’re leaving on vacation and won’t be back until after my parents go home. And these people are related to the cousin whose name we gave to F as a middle name. But they showed up at 6pm and wouldn’t leave. I was losing my shit a little. F was so fussy and I needed dinner and I just couldn’t deal.
But we have all eaten and things are a little better. F is sleeping in her swing for the first time and loving it so that’s nice.

All the nurses keep being shocked at how easily things are working for us *knock on wood* The nurse at 9 left us to start on breastfeeding, and when she came back he was latched and feeding. She came to get a closer look and said "that's perfect!" With this really surprised tone. And then I had to turn on my side to get my suppository and I think she was expecting to have to help me but I just did it and she made another shocked sounding comment on how easily I'm moving already.

mrsweasley It sounds like you guys have a good plan, crossing my fingers all goes well with the version. 50/50 is not a bad shot. Love seeing the new babies but less so on the mastitis on this board! armpants, I hope you get some relief soon. We live in a busy real estate market and got an offer after one week of listing. It helps because we found a house in our new state and all should be going through in a month or so. I'm about ready to pack it all up and live out of suitcases for the next month or two.

Doctor just came in. She thinks one more night because they want me to be fever free for 24 hours and that would give me 48 hours on these drugs.

I am so tired of DH’s impatience. It is driving me crazy. With DD1, he was fine waiting but this one, he is so busy pacing he is ruining the carpet. Every single sound I make he asks if that is it.
I have my doctors appointment today so we will see if I made any progress. I hope so.

I’m thinking I’m done BFing. My goal was to feed collostrum in the hospital and I did that. F has her 1st appointment this afternoon and we’ll talk to the pediatrician about things. We’re into day 3 here and no sign of anything happening, despite how much boob time she’s had. I know there’s still time but I’m not optimistic.

Okay, question guys. The nurse offered me a stool softener this morning. I've already passed gas a number of times, but no urge to have a bowel movement. I haven't really been eating much though, had a BM the night before surgery, and I vomited a lot of what I had eaten last night. Should I take it or do you think I'll be okay? My BMs lately have been softer and the urge comes on fast so I'm worried about overdoing it and having diarrhea. I also never got stopped up with narcotics previously.

My BMs lately have been softer and the urge comes on fast so I'm worried about overdoing it and having diarrhea. I also never got stopped up with narcotics previously. That’s a tough one. I would think that the nurse would help make a decision. I took milk of magnesia at the hospital and couple of times and it woke me up from good sleep with painful gas but definitely did the trick on top of the colace. I don’t actually remember why I took it since I don’t remember having issues going but I was on pain killers so perhaps my memory is a bit foggy. It did go too far one of the times with runny stool but at least it wasn’t the opposite scenario which would have been worse.
