Aww thank you!! And thank you for following along! Hope you are feeling well!

hahah I def. noticed that also... but i guess that is expected.... My first pregnancy we literally had nothing to worry about except for being pregnant and relaxing hahaha not i have a toddler, a pandemic and work.... maybe ill get more peppy once maternity leave starts hahah ... Do you feel its a dull vibe ?? and thank you!

yayy congrats! and thank you!

thank you!!

yasss!!

Thank you!! Just really looking forward to being home and relaxing!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼countdown!!

Thank you!!! I listened to a few vbac podcasts but definitely have to look at that more! 💕💕

aww yayyy congratulations!! and thank you for following along!

Thank you! And yess I was trying to do weekly updates for baby2 but i just want able to keep up

Thank you! I really appreciate your encouragement!!! Praying my body goes into labor!! my office will not induce... and i would not want them to either!

Our bodies “fail” us all the time. Why do you think they won’t fail to go into labor? or go into labor too early for whatever reason outside our control? If babies come with they are ready why do we have premie babies and stillbirths from women going too far past their due date? Inductions are necessary and save lives. Nature doesn’t always win.

astralweeks23 Giving blanket advice like that - if a baby results in an IUFD (if you don’t know what that is, you probably should y give birth advice), who has to live with that? I’m an RN in the L&D area. Natural birth is usually better, but each mom has to decide for herself and her baby, as anything can happen and she is the one who has to make the decisions that affect the life of her child.

aww thank you! Def. trying to fit in time to dedicate to the computer! so hard with a toddler lol... are you pregnant with your 2nd yet?

gingy pants hahaha noooo first baby lol! I duno how you do pregnancy with a toddler! Flip me looks so tough lol you look amazing too! Im just ahead of you right now im 36 weeks! So nervous lolxox

Aww thank you so much!! and congratulations on your baby!!!! Question .... how are you dealing with letting people visit the baby and what area are you in? like did you let your immediate family come to your house... if so what precautions did you take?

Omg yessss that is my due date also!!! Congratulations!

aww yayy thank you for following along ! we are due so close!

Thank you!!! aghh count down!! I just told joe ... i feel like she will come 2 wks early or 2 weeks late lmao

Thank you so much 😁😁😁

thank you!! I actually recorded this (Or tried to) from your suggestion... so ill see if i get around to editing it hahaha

thank you so much!

hahaha yess finallly hahah

Thank you!! I did get a soap somewhat like that ... just to use in general. Ugh it’s the worst... hoping I can keep everything in balance for the next 7wks

Do you mind telling me what they did and how they delt with everything? Also what area are you from? We are NJ/NY area where things are the highest 🙈

Thank you!

aww yayyy! thank you for following along! and congratulations. I am really praying for a vaginal delivery! Praying for you also! Is your baby head down? Do you know gender?

gingy pants We are having a BOY! 🥰 For the first 12 weeks I was actually convinced it would be a girl. Guess my intuition isn’t all that accurate 😂 And yesss, thank goodness he is head down. He keeps pushing his butt out on the right side just over my belly button, so I know he stays in pretty much the same position and hasn’t flipped. His weight seems to be rather average for the gestational age, so it doesn’t seem like I might run into the danger of a having to have a c-section because of his size. There are many very big babies these days. Over here they suggest that you have a csection if the baby is over 4,5 kg (9lb14oz?). Dis you have a scan recently? Do you know the approximete weight of your baby at this stage of your pregnancy?

haha yess I am from NJ! so funny that you identify with me having an accent

@@gingypants what part of NJ? I lived near freehold, and also matawan. My family is still there and I cant wait to be able to visit esp since I had my baby girl 7 weeks ago and no one has been able to meet her yet :(

aww thank you!

omg yess thats why we opted out of the ECV last time i was chatting with someone else who had an unsuccessful ECV. I am really hoping to VBAC... im going to def share my thoughts and how i make my decision in my updates! Have you found any great info?

I Missed making videos ... its been very tough finding time with everything going on. Hoping to get back to at least a weekly update :)

@@gingypants please we are so proud of you and love you so much! Whenever you have time I will always toon in. I would love to see more on raising your first I have a 7 month old RN off b milk eating and now on teething crackers AND always wants my food lol your great and promising to follow! No matter what wish you the best girl!

Thank you so much!

thank you

yassss 🙌🏻

yasss im praying it all works out!

Thank you 🤍

omg i am praying for it! How and when did you go into labor?

@@gingypants i forgot my original due date but i had him 8/11/19 around 38 weeks or so i bounced on a ball a little bit but i was actually sleeping over my cousins the morning i went into labor. 😭 my son who was 2 years old was being super fussy so i had to rock him to sleep and i know it wasn't the best idea but around 3am i was cramping in my sleep then i woke up because i feel like i had to poop and i ended up losing my mucus plug. Thats when iy got real and i started getting contractions 7 mins apart then i went home took a bath and it was 3 mins apart. The doctors kept trying to tell me c section this and c section that and i told them if they weren't getting ready to wheel me to it to not bring it up because i felt like they were trying to discourage me. I ended up having him by pushing while doing tug a war with the nurse lol

I cant believe they almost didn't see me for my one appointment bc of a forehead temp of 99!!

Natasha Letourneau Right, especially when you can't find a good parking space. You get there, wearing a mask and they ask, "shortness of breath?🤔🙊🙉🙈

Paola Valtierra exactly!!! & it’s also 95 degrees out 😆💙🙄

aww congratulations!!! and thank you!

Yess I wish I could have also but it just doesn’t work out that way for me ... unless I quit and I can’t do that. But I’m in the home stretch now... only 9 working days left!!!

gingy pants good luck!!!!

hahah thats so funny you say that! I can def. see it has changed but thats obvious that it would ... my first pregnancy I literally had nothing to worry about besides my pregnancy and what was going on in my body lol ... What type of changes do you notice? Is it a bad thing

gingy pants not bad at all! I hope my comment was okay to make! You seem a little more subdued in the current videos, more experienced (which of course makes sense!).

See that is a VERY difficult thing to answer Bc you have no idea where people are going and how good their hygiene is while out and coming home. Technically you unfortunately should not have visitors and I know that is hard. But I’m in the same boat with immediate family... we are 7wks our so idk how things will change... but I would tell everyone if they want to see the baby they need to strictly isolate for the next 2weeks and if you allow them over supervise them hand washing hands and arms, have them wear a face mask and make sure to come over right out of the shower in new fresh clothing. No kisses, no putting their face close to the baby and no hugging or getting close to you or your husband... I know it sounds insane but I would talk to your doctor and see what their thoughts are. I really don’t know how we will handle it... it’s just so unknown how it affects the baby and all. Like there are positive moms that are quarantined from their newborns for 14 days ... so think about that thought .. would you hurt more if that were you or keeping friends and family away Idk if this even makes sense or I’m rambling but ... 🤷🏼‍♀️again just taking one day at a time when

I recommend checking out www.reddit.com/r/CoronaBumpers/ if you ever want to discuss what you're going through with pregnancy as it relates to the pandemic

Chia Moua same with my mother in law. She has always taken the virus lightly. My in-laws are visiting in 1 week and have told my husband they want to go to the zoo, the restaurant, downtown (Nashville) where there are bars. He told them anyone wants to go can go but we are not going. Makes me kind of nervous. I’m 32 weeks now.

🤍😁

yess i have heard this!! that most likely the measurements can be off a pound either way..

Yesss the sugar thing was a problem!! And my mid wife suggested the kimchi(but I’m not a fan) also kombatcha or however you spell it. So coconut oil on the putter area helped with the itching?? Good to know for the future... Did you ask your dr to prescribe the 3day cream I used? That helped me ! And it’s pregnancy safe

@@gingypants my doctor told me to use over the counter stuff. Like canesten. But irritation got so bad that even that topical cream was burning and hurting. As I think I had a lot of damaged skin. ( I stopped also using all of the soaps I used) I read somewhere about coconut oil, that it has untifungal properties. So I started to do it 3 times per day. After a wash with ph balancing feminen wash. I did not believe it, But at some point I was desperate enough to try anything. It cleared and healed everything in a few days. I could not believe it. It was so much suffering and discomfort. ( I was scared to use medication, as prepregnancy after I would use over the counter stuff for it, it would bring back worse infection in a few weeks, as bacteria or east would grow back, I would have even more discharge and worse irritation second time around. so I was hoping my body would take care of it on its own. But the side effects and irritation just got really bad this time) Now I do cocunut oil once a day or even once in two days if I forget. All of the external irritation is gone. ( I did use it externally, lots of it over the night especially, on the delicate skin) Sorry it feel like too much information. But I just got through it...and I know how uncomfortable it feels. Someone told me to use baking soda for washing and even internally.( That is what ppl used in Russia back in a day, when there was no medicine for it) .but that was a bit freaky.. so I decided coconut oil externally was somehow more comfortable option... Lol 😂 , I did look in to kombatcha drink too. I chose Russian version of it , it is called Kvass. :)just more used to the taste of it. But that may have a bit more sugar in it. Anyways it is all much better now... Hope it works out for you as well. I could not emagine going to work with this. I was lucky to stay home for last few weeks.

@@mariakotenko758 so.... have you had any issues with tanish colored discharge?? its so weird ... no odor but theres a tannish color, my OB said its suggestive of blood but I Have not had any active bleeding .... it just makes me weary yah kno

@@gingypants yah.. sometimes I have spotting in there even I can see it like little bloody veins in it, sometimes it is pinkish.. it has been happening from the beginning pretty much, sometimes every other week for few days and then it goes away., I freaked out.. but my doctor did not care about it. And I talked friends a lot of them had mild spotting through some of their pregnancies. With one child and not with the other. My ultrasounds are ok for now. I am on 33 week. I just think it is from all the irritation, especilally on the days I am very active. DCT is not concerned with it at all so far.

I took 5 weeks before my due date... if i could have scheduled more vacation days to get me out sooner i would have! what type of nursing are you in right now and what are they doing to keep you safe are they making sure your'e not assigned to positive patients or suspected positives?

☺️

Thank you! I’m trying!

baby Girl!
