I cry during Pap smears, and my cervical checks (all 2) were the most awful things I can imagine.
Childbirth was so easy for me. I was running the halls about 10 minutes later and the nurses told me I had stay in bed 1.5 hrs longer.
I would be a surrogate for people because of how easy my deliveres and recoveries have been but I don't qualify because I've had preeclampsia and pregnancy hypertension.
Poppy32617 can the tie be cut? Wouldn't that help, too?
Hugs on the mom guilt. You will find a new normal. 💜
Yes they said it could be but I'm struggling on whether I should do it or not. Poor little guy has been through so much already that I hate to put him through one more thing. They nicked him during the circ and needed to cauterize it and then he needed his bili checked three times already bc of jaundice and now this. I feel as if it's not going to affect his speech or eating as he ages then I don't think we'll do it. I am torn bc I've wanted to try nursing again this time around bc he's our last but then I on the other hand am okay with everything bc I know I gave it my all this time around.

Both of my kids had tongue ties and we had them clipped. It is definitely not a decision to take lightly, but I am 100% glad we did it. They both seemed unphased by the procedure and it helped us with breastfeeding so much.
It isn't easy to decide, but you will figure out what is best for yall.
So I was all worried about DD getting tubes on Tuesday, well ... She caught the flu so now we get to deal with that, and keeping her away from the three week old. And probably have to postpone the tubes. Ugh.

I'm awake. Not because my baby or toddler are, but because my tailbone itches so f'ing bad. Sitting on the heating pad is my only relief. I hope the antibiotics kick in tomorrow.
...I can't wait to be exhausted and so parent a 3 year old and toddler tomorrow.
DD hasn't been sleeping in her bassinet but on my chest at night, it's the second night she's let me lay her in it for the first few hours of bedtime. Then she wakes to feed and diaper change and won't go back in. Baby steps I suppose.
DH has a man cold and understandably doesn't want to get us sick specially the 3 week old, so he's sleeping in the guest room tonight. It's tough for him since he's been gone all week and this is his time to see/play w the kids

+1 to wishing I could be a surrogate... at least until my second pregnancy. I could handle the symptoms, but the anxiety about whether my baby was going to be okay was more than enough for me. I can't imagine the anxiety and guilt I'd feel if my toxic body were carrying someone else's baby.
Also +1 to not being sore after delivery, and cervical checks and Pap smears not hurting. And don't hate me, but... I've had two babies and had no stretch marks or major tearing (just slight "scratches" both times that didn't need stitches). If it weren't for the ICP, I'd have ALL the babies.
I have more stretch marks and loose skin from when I was 315lbs than from pregnancy.
