Labor buddies?

[jennlin]

i usually text picksthemusic with all of my pregnancy nonsense, but i can add a slurry of people if they want. i have most of your numbers. muahahahahaa....

[niq]

Nope, sorry. Per msniq's request, nothing is going to be public at all until the baby is born and she has makeup on. Seriously, she doesn't even want to let her parents know.

BUT WE'RE AN EXCEPTION!!!! DOESN'T SHE KNOW THIS??! WE TELL THIS BOARD BEFORE WE EVER TELL THE PUBLIC.

[sarack]

um, niq.. this isn't acceptable. you can just sneak info to us. email works too.

@jennuinne - yay! text me for sure! i'll be waiting.

jennlin - you better add me!

i'll probably text ashleyp728, jennlin, and @jennuinne since i know their numbers.

[jennlin]

okay sarack. whoever wants to be on that "first texts" list, let me know sometime early october

being on this list means that when you get this text, even at 2am, you're going to wakeyoazz up and post on the board. or i can post when i go into labor myself...like i did last time, haha.

Well the trickiest part is that if I just stop posting for 24 hours everyone will figure out why! Maybe I can come up with some code words to drop into posts.

i can do code words. how about "my wife is yelling at the unborn baby". you know...like she's screaming in pain?

Haha, why no word that she's even gone into active labor? That doesn't involve pictures and therefore no need for her to worry about makeup!

The pressure. And family randomly showing up. And it might be weird for family not to know when 'internet strangers' know. I get it. XD We didn't tell anyone we went in to labor. >.>

Dingdingding.

Somebody on MMM said they had their dad change their mom's phone & computer passwords so they couldn't post to FB between early labor and the first baby photos. It sounds like a brilliant idea. Except we know she'd just call her sister and have her make the post.

[jennlin]

Lol @legalbritt!! Omg! How insane.

With bjl, I only posted to you guys, my BFF,, patents and sibs that I was in labor. After we had her, maybe 1hr later? We texted all our family/cousins. Waited 5ish mins, then texted friends. Thhhheeeennnnn posted on fb. For the most part, family/friends/fb did not know we were in labor at all.

Still a while then.  I was thinking it was sooner. 

that would be 38 weeks. she thinks i'll be begging for a C-section at 36 or 37 weeks at the end of the august.

Well, there are two in there. It's a while different ball game.

I realize that.

But telling your patient who is hoping for a vaginal delivery: you'll be begging for a C-section by X time is really douche-y and counterproductive. I think a large part of being able to vaginally deliver is believing in yourself. It's not all of it, but when your own doctor is casting doubt... it just makes me meh. Esp, since I went to a housewarming party recently that our tenants (the wife is a midwife) threw and it was all midwives and their patients and one of the midwives was telling this story about how she convinced this woman who had a 10+ lb baby that she didn't need a C-section, and guided her through a successful, nearly tear-free vaginal birth.

I feel like that's what a ob/midwife should be like.

Agree

[ashleyp728]

This is exciting, I'm so glad we can all keep everyone in the loop when the time comes!

[dana86]

I don't have one. I'm not due for quite a while though lol

[sarack]

I should have told you that we were discussing labor and delivery when she said that..

however, I feel like she definitely keeps throwing it out there that there is a huge possibility that i'll have a c section.. which I wish she wouldn't.. although it has helped me come to terms with it. if baby a isn't head down, they will do a c section no question. sad day.

currently baby boy is head down, who is currently presenting as baby a (although he was originally baby b), and baby girl is head up. so we shall see what happens!
