Why do pregnant women tell you all the good stuff? They never tell you the bad stuff like, heartburn gets way worse at the end, or you get morning sickness at the end and cant keep anything down or up for that matter with the added "luxury" of diarrhea. Or the aching back pains or wait... this is the "BIG" one... Vaginal Pressure.
Ugh!
This is not a walk in the park if you ask me but I know it's a precious gift I dont wanna wait any longer than I have to, to come out!
Ok...
Birthing Class Day 1, May 26, 2010 it was not what we expected but nice none-the-less! We discussed breastfeeding and how it's beneficial for both myself and the baby. And to prevent confusion between the bottle nipple and the actual nipple that I should try to breastfeed immediately and stress to the doctors that I do not want her to have a bottle. We enjoyed it, the teacher is nice!
At 29 weeks, May 28, 2010 I had an appointment nothing big thoughjust the usual... heartbeat check and basic chit chat. This was the start of my every 2 week appointments began.
Birthing Class 2, June 2, 2010, we just discussed how I should listen to my body and the major signs of postpartum depression, and how Cory can help me through if I go through it.
Now this is one of my big concerns...for the simple fact that I suffered from depression since I was a little girl up until now. I know that I am extremely prone to being a postpartum depression victim and dont wanna put lil' m.k.m through that. Im scared but im already praying on it!
Please Pray for me!
Everyone should know this but My Birthday was on June 8, 2010 I turned 22. I didnt do nothing just lay down all day... yeah I know I'm young but hey lucky me!
Birthing Class 3, June 9 2010, we discussed cleaning the baby before and after the umbilical cord falls off.
I was 31 weeks into this pregnancy and had an appointment on June 11, 2010. Again nothing big! These appointments are getting boring now it's just like "hi, ok baby is doing fine, bye!"
Birthng Class 4, June 16 2010, we did breathing and relaxation techniques to get through labor and before to help the baby get in position to come down.
Birthing Class 5, June 23, 2010, we discussed how to talk to the baby while still in the uterus and begin maintaining good communication with her, we learned different breech positions (breech: a fetus that is presented at the uterine cervix buttocks or legs first).
So my next boring appointment was June 25, 2010, I was 33 weeks. But at the end of this appointment I was invited to a baby shower. Every few months the clinic I go to throw a baby shower for the mom's that didnt have one.
It was pretty nice, decorated in blue and pink (yuck). They gave out gifts, had a raffle, food, drinks, and a huge beautiful cake, That was AWESOME!!!! I took my bestfriend Myra with me, well I invited her but she took me since I was having car trouble, but we had some laughs it was nice.
I won some diapers in the raffle and a gift bag with a baby gown, wipes, 2 rattles, and a bib!
I appreciated it especially since I really dont need anything else for "Fat Girl" (M'kylee nickname her daddy gave her already)
Birthing Class 6, June 30, 2010, We discussed the different pain medication options.
Birthing Class 7, July 7, 2010, we discussed that by 35-37 weeks the lungs are developed but the baby is considered preterm, full term is considered 38-40 weeks, premature is 24-37 and weighs less than 5lbs 5 oz, and that causes of pretem labor can range any where between:
- work
- the daddy
- arguments
- financial problems
- housework
- eating habits
- drugs
Now I am 35 weeks and I have an appointment tomorrow in which I will gladly discuss in my next entry about this wonderful journey!!!!
