re: **June Mommies**

okay.... just giving an update.... kaelyn got to come home on the 12th.... it's been so nutty that i haven't been had a chance to get on and update.... We're having a lot of trouble breastfeeding bc of them giving her a bottle in the nicu.... i'm about ready to throw in the towel and just keep pumping and give her a bottle.... but she's home and doing very well.... she's already up to 7 lbs (she was 6lbs 8 oz at birth) and she eats like crazy.... but easy labor dust to all of the remaining june mommies.... and i pray that none of you have a c-section bc i am still hurting so bad.... it's better but it still sucks so much.... good luck everyone!!!

Quoting Florida Mommy:“ Nope   Maybe they will on Tuesday.. I am going to start going for longer walks - maybe that's what ... [snip!] ... it Tuesday because most women are thinning out by this point. I've had sex a few times so apparently that hasn't helped any!”

see if they'll strip ur membranes. r u having any contractions at all? if u do when u feel em coming on do some squats, helps the baby come down and thing u out. when i got my membranes stripped i went for long walks.the nite before my water broke i walked over a mile that nite. see if that helps

you can do it...my son was in the nicu for 4 weeks being bottle fed and now he's strickly breastfed..it took a little bit and some patience but you can do it..

First of all LABOR DUST to all the remaining June Mommies. My little one is 2 weeks and I couldnt picture being preggo all this time. I am doing great with breastfeeding, except my nipples are pretty sore and cracked *ouch*. But hes growing like a weed. He was born at 6 lbs., 7 oz and is now 7lbs, 15 oz. Thats a pound and a half gain in two weeks, which is awesome.

I hope it happens for the rest of you soon. And congrats to all who have already had their babies!! Here are some updated pics of Alijah:

I will! And nope.. just a lot of cramping and pressure   Yeah I've only been walking about 1/2 mile a day so maybe I'll do it twice a day or just go further.

-edit- and I've been nesting like a mo-fo  

Labor dust to the remaining June mommies...I delivered with an induction at 41 weeks and 1 day so I know how frustrating it gets and I know this isn't any consolation but I would wait all over again because once you have your little one it doesn't matter how long you waited! I had her June 11 on Wednesday and she weighed 8 lb 5.6 oz, Saturday at discharge she was 7 lb 15 oz and yesterday she was 8 lb. 10 oz. She is quite the porker now lol

i was nesting hardcore like 2-3 weeks before i had jordan   even if its just cramping/pressure do squats anyway. good luck!

I'm having a hard time breast feeding too...she had a hard time learning how to suck. I've been pumping and giving her that through a bottle, which I hate, but at least she's getting breastmilk.
And I had a c-section and feel okay! I mean, it hurt at first, but the pain meds helped, and I had my check up yesterday and she took the stitch out and it feels fine! I actually preferred the c-section to the 18 hours of labor I had...I guess its different for everyone!
