OH so many cute pictures!!!!!!

@kristi- I downloaded photobucket for free on my phone. It was easy...only took a few mins and it's easy to use :). Hope to see pics . I'm so happy you all are home, safe and sound. Make sure to lightly massage around your incision to keep adhesions from developing.

Oh lisserb...he's precious!

@athena- I think your family is definitely in denial. That's a winkie ! lol. Your cat's on fb are cracking me up lol

As for me, 4dpo. Wanted to start progesterone yesterday but the dr never returned my call. Guess I'll find out monday.

Tara they were cracking me up too. I was just waiting for Rudy to sprawl out on the bed. He had to check out all the furniture, Pennie got on the changing table and walked from there to the ottoman and laid down. The chair is my favorite part, we were going to buy all new furniture but dh was looking at this local yard sale site and found the bed dresser and changing table for $200. So then we said well I guess I can get the chair I wanted which was that chair since we have more money to spend. Well I was on Craigslist a few days later and someone was selling that chair and ottoman for $50. It's $550 at babies r us. So we saved a lot of money. I'm going to get new handles for the dresser because the ones on it are plastic and touch up the finish on the bed get a new mattress and changing pad but those are cheap fixes in comparison to furniture.

Tara, can u tell me more about massaging the incision? I am still a little sore. This section is a little more tender than my first which they said was possible since I had scar tissue from the first. Can't wait to heal!

I don't think that worked

@kristi- If you want to, you can email the photo and I can use photobucket to post it for you.
Here's a link to info on massaging a c-section scar....

This website says to wait til it's healed but I was trained to lightly massage around it at the beginning. It'll bring more bloodflow to the area and help it heal correctly. But only very light massaging (dont want to cause pain)
Here's a youtube video for massaging it once it's freshly healed and beyond...

This type of massage should be used for any type of scar actually. Especially ones that hurt years after healing.

Oh thank u!!

Something really weird is going on. I'm only 5dpo and I'm bleeding. Not a lot...more like bloody cm. Scared I'm developing a luteal phase defect.

Early implantation maybe ?

Are you taking progesterone again Tara? That would help a lpd. Do you need a pad for the bleeding?

I had a lot of mid-cycle spotting, and they were never able to figure out a cause. I did spot the cycle I got pg with Colby too.
