If you&#...Boy names I love: Quinn, Angus, Griffin.<br /><br />If you're in the mood--- go back and read through my early blog archives. You will read the PLETHORA of things I worried about/found out about prior to Bean's entrance into the world. The day before I went in for our scheduled C (she was breech and wouldn't turn, so I knew a couple weeks prior that we'd be having her c-section), I talked to a friend who had had a c-section just six months prior. I'm so glad I did that, because she shared a boatload of suggestions with me that no one else had, and I used everything she shared with me. Her list would be way too long to share here, but if you're in the same boat, let me know and I can send you a nice long email.<br /><br />Be that as it may, I guess I'll jump on the poop wagon and agree that that first time you go after the birth.... uh, NOT PLEASANT. Drink prune juice, take the softeners, and then just take it slow. And one other thing: remember that NOTHING lasts forever. The pain is temporary. The boob soreness is temporary. The bleeding is temporary. Everything settles down eventually, just remember that. And enjoy! I loved being pregnant.Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543385560164099748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148972962021350970.post-76188382209857935712011-02-03T14:07:17.850-05:002011-02-03T14:07:17.850-05:00Our imaginary next son would be named Gavin. I...Our imaginary next son would be named Gavin. I've also always loved Wyatt, Sam, and Benjamin. I love your names too. I'm just not mentioning them because I know them and you should get to announce.<br /><br />What do I wish I had been told? I'm not sure. You know I researched the shit out of everything. I will admit that I didn't know much about c-sections at the time. Oddly enough, I was just convinced that wouldn't be an issue.<br />I'll second the stool softener recommendation. Make sure they give you colace and then take twice what they recommend.<br />Babycenter.com used to be a great resource but they went to shit when they changed their format.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120774715331922926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148972962021350970.post-85980176883219185572011-02-03T13:39:06.416-05:002011-02-03T13:39:06.416-05:00Ahhhhh yes, the terrifying after-labour poop. Rath...Ahhhhh yes, the terrifying after-labour poop. Rather painful. Take any and all softeners they give you. Sit in a sitz bath before you try for a bowel movement - and don't be afraid to go in the sitz bath, either. Might make it gentler on you. (Of course, I don't recommend this if you're using your actual bathtub to sitz in!) If you have stitches, dab yourself dry afterwards and use a hair dryer set on low to keep you from pulling anything...Rainydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650764598599832814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148972962021350970.post-15951467172391813202011-02-03T11:03:08.857-05:002011-02-03T11:03:08.857-05:00The top name on our boys list is Samuel. :)
Oh, ...The top name on our boys list is Samuel. :)<br /><br />Oh, still speaking of poop... I don't remember if anybody warned me of the difficulty of doing that AFTER you deliver... so Rainyday, it's probably a good thing you got it over with during labor!!! ;)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156363229916014514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148972962021350970.post-84021673702791244592011-02-03T08:32:36.805-05:002011-02-03T08:32:36.805-05:00Our boys are Elliot and Felix. Other names we like...Our boys are Elliot and Felix. Other names we liked were Miles, Griffin, Thomas, Noah, James, and Leo. <br /><br />Hmmm, things I'd wish I'd known about labour/delivery? I wanted to know everything and so I read and read and read and joined message boards and got email newsletters. One thing that was shared on my boards that I knew about in advance but didn't think it would apply to me was the fact that many woman have a bowel movement while pushing. Gross and eeeeeew!!!!! And yep, it happened to me. Twice. The nurses were realy good about changing the bedding and not mentioning it, though, so then I knew it had to be a common occurrence!Rainydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650764598599832814noreply@blogger.com
