Pregnancy Info HOME

I remember bleeding for not that long. Not sure exactly, but about 2 weeks. What I DO remember is the most INSANE burning sensation when having to pee afterwards. I had NO episiotomy and one small st_tch. That's it. I wish someone had warned me about the burning. I gave birith with NO drugs and the burning was almost worse than that. A girlfriend of mine said she didn't have that at all and had an episiotomy too. Not sure if you had that but between that and the b___bs hurting way more than I ever imagined, the pregnancy, labor, birth and bleeding wasn't as bad as those 2 things!!!

evae, I remember you from 3rd trimester. Hope you and your baby are well!! I just found out, 2 months later, that I'm pregnant AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

hi alirenee, when did you have your baby?!?! and you found out you are pregnant again 2 months after you had the baby?? wow! how are you feeling? i am overwhelmed with this new motherhood thing. Will this be your 2nd child? It's been 11 days I am still bleeding steadily like a medium period. I hope it is normal. I am paranoid about recovering for some reason... like something is going to go wrong! I haven't even looked down there! My SIL told me not to look at the st_tches because then I will be more worried & just freaked out on top of it.... eeekkk!

Yes, this is my 2nd. All at once!! :):)

thanks for the encouragement! and congratulations on another baby! my husband would love to have them back to back, just because him and his siblings are so close in age they absolutely love it. do you think you will have more than 2? that's awesome you had such an easy pregnancy. i enjoyed my 2nd trimester alot since it was the most comfortable, but my 3rd tri just got really ackward since i am really small they big belly pretty much knocked me around. well, i sure am happy for you! since you are on a roll of the new baby with diaper changes & the whole routine, it will be a piece of cake to juggle one more & then be done with it for awhile! i would love to have another one soon but i am just so overwhelmed. i cant imagine me trying to load up 2 car seats and strollers!

by the way, what is your boy's name and do you live in America? If so what state if you don't mind my asking? my boy's name is Landon and he is my first child also:)

with my first son the bleeding subsided around 3-4 weeks postpartum.. and i started to feel completely healed around 4-5 weeks postpartum.. i also didnt have any st_tches or anything....

izechsmama, how are you? did you finally have your baby yet?

if so how did it go? you decided to not get induced right??

Evae... no baby here yet! i'm 37 weeks.. and at my last appt i was at 2cm and 50%effaced... so my doctor thinks it could literally be anytime.. she said she'd bet her own money he'll be at least two weeks early.. i just dont want a v-day baby!! :) but anyways... no i wont get induced... unless absolutely necessary.. but my dr will break my water a day before my due date if he's not here yet... so i'm hoping he comes on his own... but i'm just hanging in there.. my son and my DH are both sick.. and i just got over it.. so i'm really hoping the baby stays put for another week.. and then he can grace us when we're all healthy again! how are you enjoying motherhood? its the best!!

well i wish you a safe and healthy delivery! please share your birth story as soon as you can. i wish i was enjoying motherhood more. i've had a fever of 102.3 the other night that still is barely going away. i feel bad that my dh mom came to visit (without any notice) & I wasn't able to be on my "A" game. Having no success with getting baby to latch on & I probably have Mast_tis. Super exhausted & probably getting a little depressed due to the circ_mstances. I'm staying positive that it will all turn around once I recover, which seems like a long stretch from here :(

thanks Evae.. i had a drs appt today and i'm now 3cms and 70% effaced.. so she said it will be anytime... but if all else fails shes going to try stripping my membranes in 13 days! so we'll see! but i will definately post my story as soon as i can! i can't wait to be able to do so! i'm really sorry you're having so much trouble with the b___stfeeding.. i've had friends that it just didnt work for.. and bless their hearts they tried so hard... but hang in there... it will be okay.. one way or the other.. it sounds like you're doing everything you can and then some.. which makes you that much better of a mommy just for taking the time to try and fix things! i think its great! just hang in there.. it will be fine!

evae, so sorry to get back to this late. My boys name is Justin Alexander Dailey. Landon is very very nice. I haven't heard of that but love that it's different but not too unusual sounding. I live in good ol' American New Jersey!!! (40 minutes outside of NYC :):) Where do you live evae?????

I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed. I did at first too and I'm sure that feeling will more than come again. But there's just not a single thing I can do about now but go with it. I've thought about the double stroller I will be needing and I can't help but laugh!!!

evae, just read about the fever. It's been a few days since you posted it, but how are you feeling?? Try not to get depressed, you are doing fine and then some, just like izechsmamma said. I know it sounds funny, and you may be doing this, but try to get out as often as you can, even if just for a half hour or so. It lifts your spirits so much just to get out. Especially if you're having trouble with b___stfeeding. I can't imagine that. I have been formula feeding from the start and I love it. I'm due Sept 30th by the way. Had my first dr appt. Everything looks fine so far. Hope you're feeling better...

Hi alirenee86 I live in San Francisco!! My husband is from Boston. How are you? How's pregnancy? Are you feeling the morning sickness or is this time around much better?? I am on Antibiotics for the Mast_tis. The kid is latching & able to be b___stfed! But he is a little lazy. He falls asleep & just hangs there for the longest time then I think he is done, I wrap things up & he cries again & I just end up bottle feeding him. I saw a woman yesterday with a triple stroller! I can't imagine. The good thing is, you just get it out of the way. Our friend just had twins & they are colicky! Landon has been crying alot lately too. I have just been letting him cry it out & then he stops and falls asleep. I feel bad but I can't hold him all day. How is Justin doing? Are you from NY?? Do you like it there? I am originally from the midwest. I miss the 4 seasons really badly lately.
