@rebelprincesz24, I’m the same way,
Well my family sucks and it’s small. I’m only really close to my grandma.
I only have 1 friend left and he cannot make it plus poor guys cripple so I completely understand why. He has had so much going on in his own life lately.
@rebelprincesz24, I’d say just invite your close friends and family and just celebrate the new baby and have cake. Maybe play some fun baby shower games :)
@rebelprincesz24, I haven’t planned one either 😂
It’s sad, I don’t really have friends anymore or know anyone.
My moms actually planning it for me.
I’m just going to her house and letting her invite all family friends.
Hangout and get free gifts I guess 😓
@colorfuldreams, wow that sucks I’d still let her make it anyways doesn’t matter what your mom thinks it’s your shower and if your grandma wants to make something let her
@rebelprincesz24, My mom is the type that acts like she does everything better.
I’m having my baby shower soon and like, she even told my grandma that she can’t handle making a latge amount of spaghetti and that she doesn’t make it good. 😓
She hella hurt my grandmas feelings..
I was about to be like @!$&’b I like grandmas better !!!
@colorfuldreams, yes I believe so. And I feel ya at first I didn’t want anyone really holding my daughter, and yeah I still deal with the whole people putting their 2 cents in.
@rebelprincesz24, so say your only dilated like 4-5 Cm can the pitcin also make you dilate to where you need to be ?
Can’t believe I’m 32 weeks today 😖
I’m not ready!! Childbirth... family pressure... everyone wanting to hold her and me not wanting to share, peoples annoying 2 cents about what I should do or how I should raise her 😩 fml
@rebelprincesz24, Oh, so it speeds up the process ? It doesn’t affect baby at all ?
I can’t ask my mom nothing because she’s drama queen and makes everything sound worse then it is
@colorfuldreams, it brings on your contractions and depends on if you’re being induced or not. They only gave it to me because I wanted my fiancé to be there when I had her so they just went ahead and gave it that final push
@colorfuldreams, no they said I didn’t need one, they were all surprised at how I was handling the pain, what made me hurt the most was the pitocin they used for like 15-20 mins on me because I was 9 1/2 cm dilated when they broke my water, it made the contractions hurt so much I was sweating but luckily I only had to wait for my dr to get there. When he got there and got ready I asked if I could push and that’s when all the pain went away and turned into concentration.
@noahs.mommy, the internet says ,”No one really knows why the nipples darken during pregnancy. It might be that pregnancy hormones cause the cells that give our skin its pigmentation to become more active. In fact, darker nipples might be one of the first signs of pregnancy you notice, once those hormones start raging. Your nipples may keep getting darker as you get closer to delivery (maybe that’s nature’s way of making sure baby can find them when it comes time to breastfeed?).
Whatever the reason, nipple darkening is perfectly normal, and your nips will typically fade to your pre-pregnancy shade after birth.”
@noahs.mommy, As soon as my nips turned brown I was looking all over the internet on how to get them back pink after pregnancy 😂😂
I thought once they change brown they stay brown
@noahs.mommy, You have no idea how happy that makes me, I’m hoping mine go back to pink too. Me personally... I’m pretty white/ pastey 😂😂 Casper doesn’t look good with brown nips
@colorfuldreams, you’ll be fine. I know every one is different but for me the first couple of days was hard I tore pretty good but it was nothing the ibuprofen they prescribed me couldn’t fix. You’ll also get this wonderful water bottle you won’t ever get rid of for when you go to the bathroom because you can’t wipe for a few weeks if you have stitches but if you don’t it just feels good rinsing with cold water. For me that actually helped a ton with my healing since I did have stitches.
@colorfuldreams, it hurts a little bit and recovery all depends on your body and if you tear or not. I felt better after like 2 weeks and I had a small tear. And at first going to the bathroom is kinda weird, with me I was so afraid I was gonna hurt myself so I barely pushed or strained for the first couple of days after that it gets back to normal.
@rebelprincesz24, How long is recovery time normally? And also maybe weird to ask but like >~<
Going to the bathroom.. does it make it hurt more or difficult ?
@colorfuldreams, recovery is pretty easy as long as you listen to what the dr tells you lol. And make sure you get extra of whatever they give you to put down there cause that stuff helps a lot. Can’t remember what the spray was called but there was something called tucks wipes that they gave me and they were great
@rebelprincesz24, I’m thinking of going Normal birth.
I’m to scared to get cut open. I don’t really know much about the difference experience and recovery wise about them tho
@noahs.mommy, Haha 😂
My mom always asks me if I’m having a mirco baby.
And yea I feel her kick me all the time. Sometimes she will kick high and it will feel like she’s trying to jab my ribs or practice kick boxing 😂😂
I’ve even felt her fully turn to where I felt it at bottom and top of my belly. It felt so crazy
@colorfuldreams, how are you so tiny! This blows my mind so hard! I know it happens but I’ve just never seen it before lol I wonder how big/small baby will be? Can you see and feel baby moving like normal?
