Sorry for the post and run, no time to read through.
If your baby poops while feeding, do you always change it right away? I feel bad leaving them in a dirty diaper but they fall asleep feeding and I don't want to wake them.
bocaburger I would change it mainly for skin integrity. But the occasional poppy diaper won't kill them if you are trying to get sleep too. Maybe put on some destin with the diaper change so if they do poop it isn't right on their skin?

I think I have severely overestimated my ability to get things done today haha. I've been working non stop and I feel like hardly anything has been accomplished. I still have to sterilize bottles, pacis and pump parts, clean the kitchen and organize some of the baby's things. And we're meeting my mom for dinner in less than 3 hours. DD is spending tonight (and my entire hospital stay) with her. Oh, which reminds me, I haven't even started packing her overnight bag and still have to finish the hospital bag. And I'm going to bring a load of laundry to her house again tonight haha. But I'm having a baby tomorrow!!!!
Oh, FFS coworker!! I love you, but I am not "high and tight." My OB told me I'm dilated and can feel the baby's head. Why do you keep insisting that you know differently?

Most of the time, yes. Usually my kids poop during the first boob so I change then do the second boob.

Watching my baby sooth herself peacefully to sleep sucking her finger during tummy time gave me all the angry feels.
I have to swaddle her tightly and she spends all her time fighting to get out, but otherwise she startles awake. Tummy sleep is better for gas and reflux. It helps with development.
But it HAS to have that stupid SIDS connection.
This is one of my "I am way too upset about this" issues. But so many hours of sleep and agony in my life are related to it.
I'm chilling at work for another uneventful day. Lots of people at work are freaking out that I'm here and don't have a "plan" for what to do if I go into labor at work. Maybe I'm being too chill about all of it, but I really don't think I'm going to go from not being dilated at all to I need to get to the hospital right now in 5 minutes. I figure my supervisor or my dyad partner (I work with one co-worker almost exclusively for evaluations) will drive me home or to the hospital. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but I guess I'm freaking people out. Also the fact that I'm even still at work at 40+1 is causing people to loose their shit. I'm pregnant y'all, I'm not an invalide.
Sorry for my little vent. People are annoying me with their constant comments.
I am late to the thread today but when I realized I was in labor with DS (at work), my colleague drove me home and there I labored for 9 hours before going to hospital, where I had another 16 hours of labor before my baby was born That was pretty much the only plan I had formulated and everything turned out just fine. Everyone needs to calm down!

@countrycotton good luck!
I had a good 39-week appointment today. My doc is still pretty sure she'll see me in a week, which will be a day after my due date, but she said that I am fingertip dilated and the baby has dropped down even further. Before I went to bed last night I was having really intense, regular Braxton Hicks contractions. I remember getting up several times to pee and check on DS in his big boy bed, but my husband texted me this morning to tell me that I was groaning, moaning, leaning on the wall, lying on the couch, running into things and generally having a very eventful night so I wonder if I was having BH all night? They never got painful but maybe they did accomplish something as prior to this appointment, all I heard was that I was "closed" and nothing really going on. I am happy that things are progressing even a little!
I was just thinking about post partum problems...stool softener has generally been working well, but the first #2 one takes after having a baby is so so terrifying. At 9 days PP, I just took a #2 that was harder to push out than the baby...yikes. (Note: this was a particularly difficult one!)
bocaburger my kid definitely poops himself while he's eating 90% of the time then dozes off. Eat, poop, sleep. I'll wait until he's dozing, change him, and put him back on.

This. She pretty much sleeps through diaper changes or just grunts a little and goes back to sleep.

I'm not sure we will make it to induction. Since leaving the Drs office and having a cervix check this kid has really dropped really low, and I've been having some contractions. I upset we will either be heading in early, or showing up for the induction and already being in full labor.
Our pediatrician's office just posted that, asking why parents are still doing those things. I started looking for articles on bed-sharing to respond, but decided it's not worth my time.

The bedsharing thing pisses me off. It is not inherently unsafe and omg gonna kill your baby! Half the freakin world bedshares. Yes there are associated risk factors like, I dunno, drugs and alcohol use, or blankets/pillows near the baby... or, if you KNOW you are a deep sleeper, or are morbidly obese in a twin size bed (not fat shaming, just not leaving a lot of space in that bed....), then maybe bedsharing is not for you.
For the rest of us, it can be the literal ticket to better breastfeeding and better sleep for all parties involved. This blanket statement fearmongering is stupid.

I may or may not have posted a angry Facebook rant about how the AAP needs to stop talking down to people.
Just tell us the risks as you see them and let us decide. Don't pretend bed sharing, Rock n Plays, tummy sleep, and all that don't improve infant sleep. Parents aren't dumb.

I think that's the worst part of all of it. There is so much shaming of parents who do any of those things. I've worked with families who have parents waking up their tummy sleeping baby to flip him multiple times a night because he rolls to that position. The mom had so much anxiety about SIDS and what would happen if he slept on his tummy at any point. It's very frustrating for there to be these blanket statements.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
I am really sick of bedsharing shaming. Rather than scare the hell out of desperate, sleep deprived parents, maybe focus on teaching safe bedsharing practices
