Are you guys packing your pumps in your hospital bag? Or leaving them at home?
Mine gets ordered at the hospital and then either comes there or to home... The BF class I took at the hospital said though that even though they can show you how to pump there if you have it, you will get more hand expressing colostrum if you do need to pump/supplement for any baby feeding issues.

Leaving it at home. The hospital had one I used last time and gave me the tubing/flanges. If it would have been the same brand as mine I would have had extras of everything
My hospital last time did this too. They told me after every pump there to send the parts to be sterilized and go help myself to a new set. So I totally grabbed 2 sets on my way out and brought them home.

I brought mine only to see if the LC would help "fit" me with flanges for my Medela (I'm so bad with sizing those things). She ended up giving me a bunch of extra parts she had, but otherwise that thing never even came out of the bag. I'd say it's worth a shot if you're unsure as to your size.
I picked up the 2 boxes of girl scout cookies I ordered from a friend's little girl. They are currently hiding out in my underwear drawer. Not sharing.

Ok, when I first read this, I totally thought you were asking about heels/pumps lol!
I'm not packing my pump nor high heels the hospital stay is quick less than 2 days. I'm hoping I won't need it. If for whatever reason I do need it we are only 8-10 min away from home.

I am bringing mine just because it's a Spectra and supposedly has some different settings than my old Medela. Since it is also hospital grade I am hoping they can fit me for flanges and hook me up with some free parts and such, too.
I brought mine last time with good intentions and never used it. If you need help with your pump after you get out of the hospital you can always meet with a lactation consultant anytime!
Also not brining my pump. If I were to have issues then the hospital would set me up with a hospital grade one to use while I'm there and even after discharge if I needed.
It's 5am. I woke at 4 to pee. When I got in bed I suddenly had this feeling that baby will come three weeks early which is silly. It got my brain going. So not cool. Only 1.5 hours until the kids come in to wake me... sigh.
I'm a little bummed this morning. The state wide conference for music teachers starts today in San Antonio (6 hours from me). I've known since I got pregnant that I wasn't going this year. Six hours in the car and 4 days of walking everywhere would be way too much for me at this point. That said, all my friends' posts about heading to San Antonio this morning are making me sad.
So I found out last night apparently it's my fault that H has been clogging up the toilet on a frequent basis lately. He's convinced that I clog it up and leave it so that then he has issues after he poops. (I can't make this stuff up)
He quizzed me out about the last time I used that toilet. I said, "the 3 times I peed before I left for work; I don't poop till I get to work."
Seriously dude?!?! How is the outcome of your bowel movements in ANY possible way MY fault?!?!?

My work team went to a really cool training this week that I couldn't make because I'm just too pregnant. I sent a couple customers, and was so sad I couldn't go with. It sucks to miss out on stuff like that!

SheilaTheTank how are you doing? My memory is crappy but I remember you saying your docs wouldn't let you go past 39 weeks? Isn't that SOON?!? Just wondering how you are!
almachs0786 aren't you the other one who won't be preggo much longer? How are things with you? I want updates and squishy pictures when your twins arrive!!
I know we have some February mommas here, is it time to think about starting a due this week/induced this week/scheduled c-section this week thread? EEEEEKKK WE ARE ALL SO CLOSE!

Bc misery loves company....our due date is smack dab in the middle of our big statewide spring livestock show, which I haven't missed in ~23years. It's pretty much 99% chance I won't be attending this year. Although IF baby girl isn't here yet, I'd actually be 45minutes closer to my hospital at the show so I guess a girl can dream, but it's not likely.

I had a bad morning so I'm thinking about going home instead of work after my OB appointment this morning. I have so much I could do, and I could use the mental health day to relax (as much as you can with a 3 year old around)
Girl! If you can, do it! Things are only going to get less and less comfortable from here on out!

This sounds like a discussion my H and I would have lol.

For any STMs+, has your doc mentioned anything about an option to schedule an induction after 39 weeks if your cervix is showing dilation? She did say it's not something ever presented to FTMs. I didn't realize this was a thing - although they won't let me go past 41 weeks if my EDD passes. I'm on the side of letting nature take its course unless something happens medically that would require it.

DH pissed me off this morning. I got up, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, washed the dinner casserole dish he left in the sink last night, folded diapers, switched laundry, made his coffee, and poured some milk for DS while he sat on the couch. He went to get DS up and came out and said, "mom made a mess on the counter." Apparently pressure caused the milk to spill out the top of the straw cup. Seriously?! That's the only comment I get?! Asshole. And he didn't clean up the spilled milk. I did.
Anyone see anything from SheilaTheTank ? I haven't seen her post in a couple days I don't think?
She's been a little under the weather but all is good. She texted me this morning that she'll post an update for everyone today. Baby still cooking and Mama is on the mend.

Nope. We didn't start talking about induction until after my EDD. I had DD at 40w 5d. If in would have made it to my 41 week appointment then that's when we would have picked a day.

Yes, my doctor said she can induce me anytime after 39 weeks. Both of my boys were born before 40 weeks with successful inductions (with DS1 my water broke and I didn't start labor on my own, and with DS2 his heart rate was double what it should have been and I became high risk.)
While I would like to not be induced, I may consider it depending on how I feel later on, and depending on who is available and when to watch my boys.

As a FTM, my Dr has discussed possibly inducing (no earlier than 39wks) with me bc I voiced concern that we are over 1.5hrs away.

No mention yet. I suspect it will come up at my last appointment before my due date if I make it.
