I had one 8:30 hearing this morning that will take five minutes. I had a horrible morning but manged to get out the door and here on time. It is now 10:20 and my case still hasn't ben called. I am just about in tears over how in pain my back is from sitting here waiting. This seriously just pisses me the F off.
mrsmonogrammed wouldn't she be assigned duties elsewhere? I mean, if you just got the job, you probably can't make demands where you want to work. You go to where you're told to go.
She sounds pretty speshul. I hope your doc and nurses back you.
I'm crossing my fingers that she isn't even working when we go in...but I know my H has no issues telling her to get out of the room. I don't want to be rude to her, but I'm probably going to have to mention being uncomfortable with her being in the room at some point before the birth. She's definitely speshul;)
We just broke it to everyone that they are not to come to the hospital until we call and say we are ready for visitors. My husband told them the hospital stresses eight hours of bonding time - a bit of a exaggeration, but it did the trick! They may be talking behind our backs, but they were cool with it to our faces
We did something very similar!! We basically told them they encouraged minimal visitors since time is limited with the LC, nurses, adjusting, etc. My parents are 4 hours away and DHs are 3 hours away, so we will probably not even contact them until I am close to pushing/delivery time to avoid them coming too soon It is certain that no one will be visiting until I am moved to post-partum room, which is 2-3hrs post delivery. Our hospital is huge on skin to skin and immediate BFing.
nettje I can't believe that the hospital would even let your ILs hold the baby before you guys. My mind can't comprehend it. I feel like they don't have the authority to hand off my baby to other people, I'm the one who will be giving people permission to hold her!
I'm not even sure what my ILs expectations are for coming to the hospital, but I don't want anyone even at the hospital (besides my H, mom, and sister who will be in delivery with me) until after the baby is born. H can call my ILs and I'll have my sister call my dad to tell them baby is born and they can head over.
belle0720 it wasn't the hospital... It was most likely DH succumbing to the nagging of his mother that would lead to her holding DD before I got to. It's too bad the policy at that hospital wasn't to have mommy and baby in recovery together. It wasn't a complicated delivery; she could have been there with me but it was policy to send her with DH back to my room where my in laws were waiting.
Not going to lie, that is a really odd hospital policy. We just took a class at the hospital, and after mom and baby get about an hour of skin to skin contact baby goes to the nursery to get checked out by the on call doctor while mom is getting cleaned up and what not. The ONLY person who can then have the baby back is mom or Dad. We all have a matching wrist band and they said they will not bring the baby to my room until I am in there. Until that time the baby stays in the nursery. The baby has a baby lo-jack on her and once I am in my room, they will bring the baby to me and there will be a chime that goes off that says Hello Gorgeous and that is how they know it is the right baby to mommy. But G-d forbid a mom has some complications dad can bring people to see the baby in the nursery but mom has to be back in her room before baby can come out of the Nursery.
GDI DD.... Make up your mind. Don't tell your tired mommy that you want a nap and get mommy all excited for a potential nap and then back out. Not cool kiddo, not cool.

Are nurseries still common in hospitals? Our hospital does not have a nursery. Baby stays in L&D with us until we move to recovery, and of course she comes there with us too. Same deal with the matching bracelets. The only 'normal' reason baby would leave the room without us is if baby was a boy and was going to be circumcised.

Where I am delivering it is. Ours goes to the nursery like i said for an hour to have a full look over by the Doctor and if they need to be placed under the light because of jaundice. Though in both of DH books that he has read on getting ready to be a dad, and one that I read it said if you have the option to have the baby sleep in the nursery the first night. You are going to be exhausted after just having a baby, and will want a night of sleep. When the baby needs to eat they will bring them into the room for you.
WTF to DH's aunt who just got a job as a NICU nurse in the hospital I will deliver at- she came up to me at my shower on Saturday and said "you know they have a NICU nurse at all the births, so I'll be sure to be in the delivery room!".
Uuuuuummmmmm, NO. HELL NO.
You will not be invited into my room and I will be SURE to tell my dr and nurses this. You are not related to me, lady!! And how pushy...thinking that I want you anywhere near me while labor? Fuck right off.
This is literally the only thing stressing me out about labor!!
My MIL works at my hospital too (not in L&D fortunately) but she tried to tell me that she has access everywhere and she could be there, even if I didn't put her name on the list of support people. I didn't bait the convo, but inside I was thinking, try it lady and you will feel my wrath because hell no.

Ya I would not be telling her when I went to the hospital. And would make sure to tell the nurses that no one is allowed in the room but DH unless I give permission! F that ish!

Judges that set hearings at 8:30....just no. No. Hell to the no.

WTF work colleagues? I organise every single effing lunch for any special occasions and not one of you has thought of organising my last day lunch which is only one week away. This will be me when I leave...

annnnnd, it's generally frowned upon for family members to treat family members. Make sure your nurses are aware. She shouldn't be anywhere near you and baby if she's going to be there in a medical capacity. Nope.
Yeah... That was the policy for that specific hospital. I'm not sure why but they didn't encourage skin to skin right after a c-section birth like they do vaginal births. Or maybe I didn't know enough to advocate for myself. I wish I would have though. It grates on me that someone else (other than my husband or the hospital staff) got to hold her before I got to. It's a sore point for me. This time it won't happen.
No one got to hold DS before me except DH but everyone got to see him! My c-section was jacked up & I was put under so my recovery took longer. I missed his first cry and everything...and the first time I remember seeing him was on a camera screen. I was PISSED & I've made it CLEAR that NO ONE is to see or hold my baby before I do this time unless it's DH. If it happens, I swear I'll lose my mind. This is my last baby, this pregnancy is already far from the way I wanted it to be, delivery probably will be too so that's one thing that better go my way!

I just remembered the crazy scary dream I had. I was PG with twin girls. They were tiny. I was able to cut through my belly to play with them and they were still attached to their placentas. I even took a photo with one of them holding my finger. I got my tummy sewed back shut. Then I had problems with them sliding down into my thighs and through my thigh skin I could see the outlines of a tiny fetus in each leg. So i had to gentle push them and slide them back up my leg and back into my belly area. WTF BRAIN?!??!

WTF hormones. Being hormonal has officially become my worse symptom and I'm damn near close to starting a SS thread all my own so people can tell me I'm not alone in this
My pregnancy has been relatively hormone-swing-free. I've felt pretty happy and calm, not missing PMS at all.
The last couple days feel like I'm on a roller coaster. And once I start crying I can't stop. Yesterday it turned into a full-on panic attack with chest pains and fast breathing, but I was able to realize it and calm down within an hour or so.
DH was so damn tired tonight that he could barely keep his eyes open to comfort me, so I decided to come eat cereal and bum around on here until I'm tired enough to go to bed... Ugh.
This spring sucks. My DH is never around and when he is he is no help at all. I feel alone in this. In some ways I know it will be even harder once baby is here, and that freaks me out. But at least I'll have the baby, and we'll be closer to the summer when his shit slows down and he can be there for me. Ugh. Feeling needy and sad.

With my DH being gone since March I'm really feeling alone. So I understand the feeling. I'm living with my mom but sometimes it's more frustrating than I realized it would be. There have been so many times at night I just wished DH was here to rub my back a little or grab me a glass of water. Or that I could call him and cry it out. Unfortunately I mostly get emails and an occasional call. Thank god he will be here soon. This point in pregnancy is hard I think.
