I really want to have sex again. I actually have my sex drive back that was missing throughout my entire pregnancy and I've been anxious and hormonal & I think sex would help since my primary love language is touch. I have 3 more weeks until my PP appointment though :-(
I hope I feel like that soon jennybeans because right now sex is the last thing I want to do. Sorry you have to wait though.
Ha, I could hardly bring myself to have sex to try to induce labor towards the end. I'm surprised it came back so quickly this time. With DS I was at 10 weeks PP before i even wanted to try.

Where is everyone with pp bleeding?? I'm 5 days out and barely bleeding. Last time I had heavy bleeding for 8 weeks!! I'm starting to worry that something might be wrong...

I'm bleeding much less than with the first pregnancy. I also had a less traumatic delivery and no tearing this time. I'm wearing full pads still at night just in case but down to liners during the day with little to no bleeding (3 weeks). Occasionally I will get a large burst of bleeding still if I'm super active which is why I'm still wearing the liners constantly.

I'm too scared to switch to liners because it has only been 5 days. I keep thinking surely it will start back up again. I had a second degree tear both times but that doesn't seem to matter.
They did give me a full bag of pitocin once he was born to contract my uterus, I wonder is that took care of the majority of my bleeding? I rarely pass a clot, now it's more of stringy, bright red mucous. (Sorry tmi)

I'm 10 days out and down to an equivalent of about halfway through my period. Regular maxi pad, fairly light flow. Mentioned it to my OB (who is K's pedi now) and she said that was good.

Yea, they kept the pitocin going on me for an hour or so after I delivered. I asked the L&D nurse about it and she said it helps keep the uterus contracting for a bit.

I'm about the same at this point. It has slowed down way faster than I expected, but my belly has shrunk way down so my uterus must have contracted down a lot.

cbrandt1 I'm 3.5 weeks out and still bleeding lightly. With my first I was done bleeding at 2 weeks. I asked my MW and she said it can continue for 4-6 weeks.

With DS1 I bled for four weeks. This time I'm two weeks out and it's really lightened up but not enough to switch to a liner.

cbrandt1 I'm 3 days out and it's already lightening up. I don't remember exactly how long last time, but it was over pretty quickly for me. I remember thinking, "wow I thought that'd last a lot longer!" High five fa sho!
So we made it through our first night and day home. DS1 was pretty uninterested in DS2 when he came to the hospital. When we came home yesterday he pointed to the carrier and said "What's that?". Then when I went to take him out he said "Hi!". So far he's been doing well but we def need to work on gentle hands/touches. He did the cutest thing today. He and DH were going to Target and the park and before they left he went and kissed the baby on the head. It was the first time he did that and it melted my heart. Labor vibes and long stretches of sleep wishes for all that need them!
If I'm nursing E in the morning when DH takes DS to daycare, they will come in to say bye and DS always wants to say goodbye to E and will kiss her head. Same with bedtime. It still melts my heart every time :-)

Also, major thanks to singingsea for the pat and circle recommendation for nursing! It's working wonders so far! Sometimes I feel like such a newborn on this kid stuff again...
E was just awake and miserable from 6-10. That's just not nice.
Gas or just generally fussy?
I don't even know, which is frustrating. I left him with DH so I could take a quick shower and he just screamed the whole time. I got out and took him and he melted into a puddle in my arms and went to sleep.
