Any final advice?
Getting induced tomorrow, and I am excited, anxious, and nervous... and rolled into one. It didn't hit me until a few minutes ago. Any words of wisdom to a 1st time Mom-to-be?
Re: Any final advice?
Just when you think you've taken too many pictures. Take one more. Make sure to get pictures of everybody who comes to visit and lots of the new family.
As far as labor...don't forget to breathe
It's an amazing and wonderful experience. Treasure every second you can. Even the bad ones.
no matter how bad you think you think look take tons of pictures with you and your baby.
don't worry about being polite, if something bugs you tell someone
If you start to feel like you can't do this, remember your body was built to do this. And you have plenty of people around to help you.
No matter what happens, how she gets here, how long it takes, none of it will matter once she's in your arms.
Insist on holding her as soon as possible and then mark that moment forever. It will be the most amazing moment of your life.
Good luck my friend.
I have no advice, but just wanted to send you
.
Good luck!
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
This is one of the only complaints I have about my experience. I requested a mirror when we got to the delivery room and they couldn't find one. Nobody ever brought me one.
see now I think the human body is amazing. As a health care professional I am endlessly fascinated by the intricacies of it all and I think labor is one of the most amazing processes of them all.
However that is just something I just don't wanna see. Nope, no way, noooo thank you.
Of course, now that I think of it, G said he wasn't gonna look but he did and said it was amazing.
So now I don't know but I just don't think it's for me.
p.s. I didn't look with Val either but mostly because I forgot to ask her if it was OK if I did.
What? After all was said and done, you didn't see her vag??
I did not. I didn't want to invade her privacy. I stood up at her shoulder and when I was "down below" so to speak I was aiming the camera so I didn't get the vag in the shot. I would put the Dr or her H in the way.
I did see the afterbirth though in passing. It was SO cool looking.
eeww I don't even like saying the word <<<<whispers>>>> Afterbirth <<shudder>>
hehe afterbirth afterbirth afterbirth hehe
Hey at least I didn't take a pic of it.
Good to know, Amy!
