Does anyone know if HMB22 had her baby yet? She's not posted since February here in this folder...

Does anyone have a good list of what to pack for the hospital? Do I need to make any special considerations for a c-section?
Thanks in advance!!

Heather - what kind of complications does your little one have?

I never did the birthing class, but I know a friend of mine waited until her last month of pregnancy and she only made it to one, maybe two of the classes and then had her baby ahead of schedule. So probably sooner the better if you want to make it through.

well, Erin took her first class the night before Isaac was born.....she never got the second one in....hehehe.
I might have followed Erin every other step of this journey (annovulatory, PCOS diagnosis, getting pregnant, having a boy, etc.), but I think I'll sit this last one out and have my baby at ~40 weeks instead of 28  No offense to Erin, of course... she can jump the gun on things if she wants to 
lol

I have the flyer from my hospital and it looks like they offer the classes every other month and they last for 4 weeks. I don't want to take it so early that I forget everything, but I also don't want to have to miss class because I'm on the other side of the hospital giving birth 
because of the number of classes and them only being every other month, and how far along you are now, I would say go ahead and get it out of the way. You won't forget what you learned...believe me, when you need the info you will remember or a nurse will remind you.

Yes you do!!
I'd recommend getting some big granny knickers that come right up to your belly button. Your incision will be sore and tender and usual undies are likely to rub on it and cause you problems. Big knickers are handy for securing sanitary towels as well, and you can throw them away afterwards (or bleach/wash them and use them for dusters!).
You might also want to get some baby oil to use on your pubic area afterwards, where they will have shaved you. It can get really itchy when it regrows. Or alternatively, start shaving that area beforehand (if you can find it! lol) or have a waxing done, so that they don't even need to shave you. Baby oil is handy to use on the scar area too, once it is healed and dry, because that can itch a bit too.
If I think of anything else I will let you know.
(My first baby, my ds - who is now 19! - was born by emergency C-section).
How are you feeling about the actual operation?

Manda...I don't think hospitals typically do that anymore...I have never been shaved, now anyone that I know who relatively recently has given birth.
They do shave the top area for a c-section. I think that's what Manda was referring to for special things to back if you know you are having a section. Of course, there's lots of things you don't need if there's no chance of a vaginal delivery, too.

Sarah,
As Ruth said, Heather was asking about special considerations for C-sections - maybe you didn't notice that bit?
(unless you're saying that in the USA they don't shave women for C-sections any more?)

oh c-sec's....never mind. I would guess they do shave for that. I thought you were saying for vaginal delivery....sorry, I haven't really followed this thread since Justice came so I didn't know it was in reference to c's. sorry
No problem! Heather's posts are #2052 and 2053 earlier on this page <points up>
She is having a C-section because her little one has complications.

Oh no! Being sick with anything when you are pregnant is nasty. Colds, stomach flu, diarrhea, it's all nasty. Because you can't take anything!! I mean the 'foodie' remedies work to a point, but most of the time you just have to wait it out. It's no fun. And it seems like recoup time takes longer. Ugh. My heart goes out to you, I hope you feel better very quickly.

My mom and I also went and registered. It's pretty early for that, but I wanted to get it done before school starts again. All in all, it was a pretty fun/exciting day
