Moms with outside babies: does your bladder return to normal relatively quickly after labor? Not necessarily in terms of leakage, but in terms of how often you to go? I went 6+ times last night, and I am dying to be a somewhat normal pee-er again....

I haven't had to go as often but I did notice for a few days that when I had to go it was a lot and I almost didn't make it to the bathroom. Without LO pushing on my bladder it was like I didn't feel how badly I had to go. There was a few time I almost started peeing before even sitting down. It was weird!

I have one! The pack n play we bought has a little rocker/napper in it. If we use it clicked into the pnp (and not rocking on the floor), do we have to strap the baby into the little strap? It seems like it might be uncomfortable with it unlatched, but I also thought it was weird to strap a baby in for a nap.

I probably would strap the baby in just to get in the habit.

I go more often now. BabyHorrible is up about every 2.5 hours at night, and each time I nurse, I have to go to the bathroom. But also - the amount of water you're drinking now? You're going to want to triple that if you're breastfeeding. It's really really important to stay hydrated. Half-assing it on the water intake is going to affect your supply almost immediately. Plus you'll be thirsty more.

Plus you'll get constipated more easily! Ain't no one want that happening after baby is born! drink all the water!

Yeeeep, did this to myself a couple days ago. DON'T DO IT!
Any of you new moms or st+ moms find yourself super tired/lazy before you went in to labor? Not even necessarily right before but at some point near the end? Yesterday I NEEDED an hour nap at 4 and have pretty much just been laying around all day today. Thank goodness for movies and puppy snuggles.

When do you start tummy time? Like as soon as you come home from the hospital? How often and how long do you do it?
just doing skin to skin with baby on your tummy counts as tummy time so really it happens right away. I would often lie down with him on my chest in the first few weeks. Doesn't necessarily mean having to put baby on the floor on belly.
This exactly. We do tummy time from the start because we carry/wear/do chest to chest all the time in the beginning.

Triple my water intake?! For reals?! Oh man... I drink so much as it is. I'm going to be peeing non stop! ETA: I just got my bronze star!!!

for a couple weeks now I've been considering asking my parents to come hang out for this weekend, just in case. (they are the closest family to us at 4.5h away and someone has to be with Ds1). I didn't bc there was nothing to really base this idea on other than a gut feeling.
So, I've had extremely infrequent real contractions today. No pattern, nothing timeable. Am I crazy for calling them now before it gets too late just in case??

Use the strap. If it gets knocked over, less chance of the baby falling.
erbear and pghtruelove, labor party at the hospital tomorrow night? ha.
I just want an odd # date. So, Monday is good for me.

I think I'm the only Pittburgher on here who isn't delivering at the same hospital. I'll be at a tiny hospitial, the most babies they've had this year at one time is 3.
My SQS: Is it normal for my lower abdomen to be sore. It feel like I just did a bunch of sit-ups or something.

I feel like I still go quite a bit, but I'm also drinking a ton of water to keep myself hydrated. Yesterday, I found out I can no longer hold my urine like I used to. I was waiting on the faucet water in the bathroom to warm up so I could fill my peri bottle... all while doing the pee dance because I had to pee soooo bad. I felt what I thought was a gush of blood, but it kept coming, and then I realized... yep... I'm peeing... I'm really doing it lol. Luckily my pad soaked it all up! Lesson learned!

I seriously hate what a production it is to go to the bathroom. For some reason I have the same problem with the faucet and waiting for it to warm up while I'm dancing around. I am so ready to be "healed" so I can go back to peeing like a normal person.
