pack like you're going camping for the weekend. lots of snacks, toothbrushes, hairbrush, comfy clothes for her if she ends up with a Csection and has to stay in the hospital longer. everything she's going to need to be comfortable.If at all possible, eat a little something before you head to the hospital.
No matter what she SAYS, she really does want you to pull into the little circle thingy and drop her off rather than making her walk a quarter of a mile. You might argue, but it won't last as long as THE REST OF YOUR MARRIED LIFE TOGETHER.
Take snacks. This will become an endurance event.
When you're in the delivery room, don't venture south of the wall, no matter how good an idea it may seem. Nothing good can come of it. Don't be a hero.
Yea she's going to pump, but I think the lady said you are supposed to do nipple for the first 3 weeks? I dunno, wasn't really listening.This is obviously a personal decision, but if you haven't already, you guys should talk about the possibility of her pumping (even if the baby isn't hungry, she'll need to do it at a regular schedule just so everything keeps flowing and those things don't turn into rocks). This way you can give her a bit of a break and bottle feed the little guy while either she pumps or gets some rest on her own if it works out where the baby wakes up and she doesn't need to pump.
It sounds great in theory to be the one sleeping while your wife does pretty much everything, but you'll quickly realize the downside to that.
You'll regret it when you realize your wife is laying sprawled out on a table and she looks like one of those educational dummies with all her organs laying on her stomach. I will never forget that image. GL GB....hope all goes well.Oh I'm going in. You only live twice.If a C-section happens. DO NOT LOOK OVER THE CURTAIN.
That's awesomeBruce Dickinson said:GL Cappy.
Glad you’re writing a lot this stuff down for your family. So much I don’t remember about the final stretch.
The afternoon we checked into the maternity ward, through the night, and the birth the next morning was just one big blur, with a few exceptions.
For example, I made the mistake of standing up and watching the procedure when my wife got an epidural. I got so dizzy and weak in the knees from witnessing it, one of the nurses left her post attending to my wife to catch me and make sure I didn’t pass out and injure myself. If you think more than a month goes by without my wife bringing this up, you are wrong.
But the part I remember most vividly was about 15 minutes after she was born. After all the scrambling around for the emergency C-section was over and the baby was sufficiently warmed and cleaned, a nurse handed my daughter to me for the first time. The room was quiet away from the commotion. I finally got a good look at her. She had her mom’s eyes and hair color, looking right at me. I thought I knew what love at first sight was, but nothing like this. I instantly unconditionally fell in love with her.
I can’t say I’ve loved every second of being a parent, but I can say I’ve loved the adventure.

My 2nd kid is close to the same due date. See you at the hospital.

I don't know if this is something that has changed over time or just a hospital practice, but I was told I had to leave when my wife got the epidural, no exceptions. That's how common the guy passing out is.Bruce Dickinson said:GL Cappy.

BP is high but they didn't admit her. They just didn't want her to go over the weekend. Thanks for asking.Uh... Everything ok?
Was it always a planned C? Or are they starting inducing tomorrow?BP is high but they didn't admit her. They just didn't want her to go over the weekend. Thanks for asking.
Planned C. She had a tumor a few years ago so they had to do it this way the whole time.Was it always a planned C? Or are they starting inducing tomorrow?
Oh hell... Doesn't matter... Tomorrow!!!
ETA... Best of luck to the Cappy famiky- exciting stuff!

Good Luck buddy
Live blog is in order here. GL, we are all counting on you.
baby comes tomorrow
Thank youA tumor??
Hope all goes well tomorrow Cappy...you and your family will be in our thoughts/prayers.
Sorry to hear that....good news is, she'll be fine with the C section....I'll tell you this, it's much more "violent" a procedure than you might expect. Way more tugging and pulling than I would have guessed. I thought it might just be the nature of my wife's first, but we've had three kids all by c-section (gestational diabetes with all three) and they were all pretty similar.Thank youA tumor??
