I'm so excited that I finally asked my MW and she said not only do they let you but they encourage you to eat and drink during labor!
Also super strange. The last two nights my feet have been getting really hot. And then my feet to halfway up my lower leg turn red. It looks like I'm wearing red socks. So bizarre
So, I have a 101 fever now. As of things couldn't get worse. DH went to go see DS and I called him sobbing because DD was crying and I couldn't even sit up straight in bed to help her. I had mastitis with DS and it was AWFUL, but the tricky thing is that the fever could be from HFM. They said bad engorgement could cause a fever, so that could be it and to come in in the morning if I get the red spots. Also hopefully meeting with lactation consultant tomorrow if I can get out of bed. Sorry to be whining so much and be a PW.
That just really sucks, txmommy14, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how overwhelmed you must feel. Take good care of yourself, and remember that your little ones will be fine.

Huge ((hugs)) txmommy14. I hope you feel better soon and DD doesn't get sick. That's a lot to deal with without having a newborn to look after and try not to expose
I'm so sorry txmommy14! This is not how this first week is supposed to be. I know this is not what you want to hear, but do you think it's worth it to start pumping and then have your DH give bottles of either BM or formula to your DD until you can recover from HFM and/or mastitis? I know it's not what you want to do, but maybe it's worth a shot to help prevent DD from getting sick and to give you some relief from your pain. Huge hugs!
txmommy14 I'm just so sorry. I'm praying for you and your family that you get healthy soon. And even though it may not feel like it now you will get through this cause you are so strong.
Contractions spaced out last night and I was able to sleep. I woke up 5-6 times overnight with big contractions, but I was always able to go back to sleep. This is just Prodromal labor, I assume.
