I'm a Midwest girl but not politically... If that makes sense. I'm due with my second boy October 14th. Things I miss about not being pregnant: being small enough to get out of the bathtub without my boyfriends help. Eating sushi, cold cuts, and soft cheeses. My energy levels and strength I had. I was a vet tech before I got pregnant with my first but now, due to daycare prices I'm a stay at home mom. I miss having people to talk to that can add to the conversation; a one year old and a cat have...

Breastfeeding in public the second time around I've got this! My 2 shirt technique is flawless you can't even tell I'm doing it unless you get waaaaay too far into my personal space. To everyone I look like I'm just holding my hairy baby.

So now that my pregnancy is over i feel like I'm not really part of this community as much anymore I love the belly pics but I think it's time to move on. I hope all goes well in your pregnancies. This app should have a sister app called new mom where you graduate to that one after this. Anyway I'll still be on here but I fell like the nerd sitting at the cool kids table anymore these days.

Brothers!

I've lost 25 pounds since my little man was born on the 19th. I'm almost at my pre-pregnancy weight. It's nice since I didn't bounce back this quick with my first.

And almost 10 days after my traumatic emergency csection the swelling from tissue damage is finally going down. It's making me feel human for the first time in well if you count the time I was hugely uncomfortably pregnant...months. It's a good day.

my birth experience I feel should have been more traumatic... I ended in a csection again but it was because after trying to go without the epidural for so long I was exhausted and needed a break. I was pushing and actually falling asleep in-between contractions, because I was that tired then about 2 hours into pushing things started going down hill I was feeling nauseous. I kept telling my mom and the doctor i felt like it wasn't real anymore and I didn't feel right. My doctor said I can try a ...

I labored at home for 2 1/2 days before coming to the hospital I labored normally for 9 hours even got to a 10 and pushed for 2 1/2 hours and ended in an emergency c-section. So I failed my vbac they thought my uterus ruptured because I was writhing in pain. But 24 hours after arriving at LD I'm happy to say welcome to Asher Hawke Valdez. We love you and are happy you're finally here.
