Stemming from a thread I just read on another board...
I sent H home overnights when I was in the hospital with DD. I plan to do it again. He is really grumpy when he doesn't sleep. It will be less stressful to have a nurse help me if I need it and he can get sleep at home.
My DH and I talked and he plans on leaving at night so we can all get rest. He said he plans on arriving by 9 am the next day. I think we get 36 hours or so at the hospital for a vag birth and 72 for a c/s. With him working at the hospital, he knows that type of beds they have for the dads, so I won't make him suffer on one of those.
Exactly, plus he was terrified of even holding DD when she was that new. He can't help me learn to Bf. If I have a question, it's not likely he will know. So, I don't understand why he HAS to be there.

Also in this camp. DH will go home to sleep. He's a very light sleeper, there's no way in Hell he's going to even close his eyes at the hospital if he stays. Not to mention he's someone who needs to keep moving or he get annoyed so sitting there watching me sleep or watching TV will bring the wrath with his nerves. I told him as soon as I am settled in after birth he's free to come and go since he will need to check on our other kids too.
I side-eye people that side-eye people for making healthy choices.
Do you think meat is unhealthy?
I was vegetarian for health reasons before getting my BFP. My cholesterol and BP used to be super high and I was able to control them without medication by eliminating meat from my diet. I plan to go back to this after the baby is born.
A few reasons I eat meat while pregnant are 1) It's really difficult for me to get my protein and keep my carb intake low. Being pregnant means that I'm a little more (now a lot more) insulin resistant because I'm a type 1. It just happens. I'm sure that there are ways around this but I noticed my glucose creeping up and I didn't want to risk it. 2) I really wanted a burger. Oddly enough, my BP has been perfect during pregnancy while eating meat but I felt better as a vegetarian. I noticed that I had tons more energy by eliminating meat from my diet. I'm not saying that meat is unhealthy, but I think that a vegetarian or vegan diet just works for some people.

Now I do find this interesting cause this is not a situation I've come across before. People I know jumped on it as part of the bandwagon movement.
So overall you are not opposed to eating meat? But find your body to function better by limiting/eliminating it?

Exactly! I have no problem with people that eat meat. I mean, I live in Texas. If I had a problem with it then I think I would be shunned. I just think that different things work for different people. We're all built differently so what works for one person may not work for another.
I just asked DH if he would wax his taint if I asked him to.
"I dunno babe, that's pretty intense"
Mine just said "what?! What is wrong with you?!" Considering I don't wax either I can't blame him. Haha
I do shave with a mirror though......I just remember a story from my L&D rotation in nursing school. A woman was going in for a scheduled c/s. She had the largest bush I have ever seen in my life. It was so high up that it needed to be shaved.....I was the lucky student that was picked to do it......It was honestly the most nauseating thing I ever had to do in nursing school (worse than cleaning up C.Diff diarrhea). I can't imagine ever making someone do that for me (besides DH)

I definitely trimmed before going to the hospital, but my c-sec incision was really low, like JUST above my pubic bone, so the had to shave it. My hair was only like 1/8" long because I use a mustache trimmer, though.

1/8" is nothing. I never would have complained about that. This woman's pubic hair was curling around my fingers. I literally had to cut it with scissors first

Sorry meant to tag you in my post above but now it's not letting me edit for some reason
I side eye people who are against hunting but buy meat from the grocery store.
I would much rather get my meat from hunting than from the grocery store. Taste so much better.
My dh hunts. I normally agree with you but while pregnant it makes me cry. I keep thinking about the poor babies without parents. Yes, I know that's totally nuts. Dh and DS just laugh.

Do you have your own trimmer or use YH's? I need a new one...and he has a nice one...

If someone chooses not to consume animal product/bi-products, I really don't see how that is "side-eyeable" (add that to your dictionary).
My husband used to be Vegan, and now he consumes meat. He had reasons why he did it, but his friends never judged him then and they don't judge him now for going back to meat.
As long as you are eating and surviving, then that's really all that matters, right??

Your DH waxes his taint? Ouchhhhhh. He must really love you.
Not on the regular.. but for special occasions or vacations without the kids.. yes. He can't expect me to give him a bj if there is hair down there. no fucking way. gross. I get a Brazilian wax all the time (I haven't in about 3 months but will get one before birth) and it's truly not that bad. He agrees..the initial shock is there but it's not unbearable.

I've got no problems with people who choose to eat vegetarian because it works for them and their bodies, but I dislike the general opinion that some have that vegetarian is an inherently healthier way to live.

My DH isn't a very hair guy to begin with, and is an obsessive groomer, so I don't have any taint-related issues. Besides that fact-- I am not as concerned with the taint as I am the rest of the area.

Haha! Yah. I knew a vegetarian once that ate like crap. It definitely doesn't mean that you're healthier.

I think most reasonable people who are against hunting don't mind it (or at least mind it less) if the animal is actually being eaten. The idea of killing animals purely for the fun of it and then hanging up their stuffed heads in your house as a trophy is what's gross. I can love to eat meat and also regret that animals have to die for it.
Also, I only eat meat from animals that have been slaughtered via a completely pain-free method. Yes I think it's okay that an animal dies so I can have my steak, but I can also believe it should be done in the most humane way possible.

This doesn't have much to do with this UO, but I wanted to insert this anyway. When I was little and my dad would go duck hunting or fishing, I would ask him to catch me a cow instead. He never did and I'm still a little sad about it.

I use my husband's, but I clean it with rubbing alcohol afterward. He doesn't mind, so I don't either
