tbirdlove, I hope babe comes soon for you. With or without choosing to do the sweep. While Iām tired of the discomfort and crazy reflux I need our little one to stay in as long as possible. We had a NICU situation with DD, which while mild I donāt want to repeat those emotions, and the in laws wonāt be in town to take care of DD until a few days before DD2 is due. I donāt want to have to scramble for someone to watch her.

Iām getting nervous about going into labor at work before my scheduled c section. I remember there was talk of what to bring to work to prepare in case water breaks but I canāt find the thread. Anyone have any insight?

Anyone have any insight? Change of clothes, towels, maxi pads. Trash bag or other waterproof liner for the seat of the car. Those are the basics that I can think of! Although, I haven't had to pack the JIC Work Kit, so hopefully someone who has will chime in on anything I missed! |

My office is literally across the street from where Iām giving birth so that helps. My co-workers joke that they will wheel me over it I go into labor here š© so embarrassing!! |

I think I have food poisoning š I've been up since 11 last night and spent most of the night in the bathroom. I feel like I got ran over by a truck. I'm really worried about staying hydrated enough to keep my supply up for DD because even water is not staying down.

The chances of needing it are slim but it always made me more comfortable having it with me at work. |

I'm feeling much better today! Last night DH had to give DD some formula because I just didn't have enough milk for DD which made me sad, but she previously had refused bottles and actually took a bottle so that is promising for me being able to leave her for more than an hour in the future š

Glad you are feeling better brenna!!! Finally got my TDAP today. Need to get my flu shot in a couple weeks. New boppy cover arrives today and grabbed some jammies for the baby because I realized I didn't have anything smaller than 3 month jammies. |

blurnette989 DD tried to get her hand out first and my ob was like uh, I think I feel fingers! She was able to push dd's hand back behind her head though otherwise I would have had a c section as well. I'm glad everything is going well for you!

MH works late nights Thurs-Sat so I am home alone with DS right now. I have this nervous feeling that something is going to start happening and ramp up quickly and I'm going to be all alone.

I have this nervous feeling that something is going to start happening and ramp up quickly and I'm going to be all alone. can you get ahold of your DH pretty easily? How far away does he work? That would make me very anxious as well. Anybody else that can be on standby just in case? |

There's a back up schedule and other managers that are kind of "on call" in case he needs to leave mid-shift. Would take him about 20-25 mins to get home. I think I'll know when things are getting real, but I just feel so nervous about everything this time. |

Doing good over here. Had my last OB appointment today, Iām now 3-4cm but baby boy is still very high up. She said she will be surprised if I need to be induced but Iām scheduled for 10am Tuesday (the 25th) if he doesnāt come on his own this weekend. So there is an end in sight! |

Baby will not sleep anywhere at night but next to me in bed. So Iām cosleeping which I am not cut out for, but itās the only way I get rest. We are doing swaddle and white noise... someone please tell me this is just a phase! Any other ātricksā I should try?

I keep telling myself it's just a phase and it will get easier. I hope I can survive the next few months. |
