Had a NST today. Everything looks great but "very few" contractions. So I'm probably not having this baby any time soon. No internal checks or anything. I both love and hate my crunchy midwives for that! Oh and I'm GBS+. Boo to that noise.
Sorry about the GBS dx but glad things look good otherwise!
Thanks. Of all the things to have, it's not a very big deal at all but I was surprised.
rungirlrun yes, I have the Spray Pal!! Idk why, even though I know breastfed poop is water soluble it still grosses me out to throw it straight in the washing machine...I know that's something I need to just get over because it'll help save a lot of time and energy. Also, the diaper sprayer I bought has different levels of spray strength so it can supposedly be used as a "gentle rinse", but I was thinking the same thing as you. DNW a high powered spray all up in my lady bits haha
You'll get over it I bet. You'll get so much poop on you, it won't even register as gross soon. You'll be texting your H poop status updates too.

I found out at my last appointment I'm GBS+ too. It freaked me out initially, but I think I've come down from it.

Ray I did crap my pants one day last week. Let's just say that even if you've been constipated for days you can't trust a fart post partum.
lostinfaith225 I didn't have the sweats but the boobs leaking was awful. I woke up with the blankets off and was wondering how I was freezing and if I had lost my shirt at some point. Nope, just soaked in milk so the breeze from the fan was making it super cold.

Ok glad to hear your sprayer has different levels. Ours has 1 - full blast! Even with the spray pal, we've made messes so do not want that spray near me.
I thought throwing the breast milk poopy diapers right in the wash would gross me out, but I got over that very quickly. Once my son started solids regularly, I missed breast milk poop so much! So feel free to spray, but really, it's not that gross, and there were never any remnants left in our washing machine (and basically once you become a parent, you kind of become immune to gross bodily fluids). With the amount newborns poop, I had no time to waste spraying the diapers. But do whatever works best for you!

Yes! I always wake up wet and freezing! It is a catch 22.
lostinfaith225 oh I forgot! I use to keep a big cardigan next to my bed for when I was up feeding DS in the MOTN. I would be soaking wet but sooooo cold
mcktymck I'm picturing the diaper sprayer like a pressure washer on the lady bits... lol ouch! Steal a couple of peri bottles from the hospital instead and keep one in your diaper bag

Damn, I've got insomnia and was going to sleep downstairs where it's cooler, but there's a big storm coming through and I do not want to sleep alone. Wimp.
