Had a Baby Already?

Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you
have had a baby? The reason i'm asking
is because i'd like to know about how long
it takes to get back in shape afterward.
I know it takes a longer amount of time
after a c-section than after a vaginal
delivery. And also, is it possible to
get a toned stomach again after a
c-section? I've heard different stories
about it. I find myself having nightmares
about a saggy tummy. Lol.

I am 19 and had my daughter at 13, I am
preg with my second. It took about 3
months for me to get back down to where I
was before I got preg. After I got back I
started to not care! Lol when are you
due?

After my first I was in jeans and I had a
better body than I ever did in a week and
I did have a c-section! But after the
twins my body wasent as great-i got
wrinkles on my skin-i guess they are tiny
streach marks but they have no color. I
took about a month to shrink back to my
regular size. Everyonne is really
different though.

I've tried walking, but now i'm to the
point where I can't really get around too
well. My entire pelvic area is so sore
from the weight of ethan pushing and
moving around and my ligaments feel like
they're about to snap. Other than that,
I haven't tried anything to bring on
labor. Any suggestions?

Lol
yeah, it probably isnt possible at this
point. Thanx for the advice. I'd heard
the nipple stimulation one, but I was a
bit skeptical. I guess it never hurts
to try though!

I took a few weeks after my 1st, a few
months after my 2nd, and it's taking a few
years after my 3rd (my 3rd was a
c-section).

It was hell! I had heart failure, then
developed pneaumonia, couldn't see my baby
(or kids) for 6 days, then had a hard time
taking care of day to day chores at home.
But it doesn't go that way for everyone,
that was just my experience.

Don't be scared! For most women,
c-sections are normal (safe)
procedures...That's y I posted that it was
"my experience". I just don't take to
surgery well.

I woke up this morning with a really
strange pain in my lower stomach. It's
underneath my belly completely. It isn't
a contraction type pain or a constant
pain. It only happens when i'm leaning
forward, or standing up from sitting down.
It also happens sometimes a certain way
I sit. It feels almost like a gas pain,
but I don't think it's possible to have a
gas pain that low down. I thought I
might have a bladder infection, but it
doesn't hurt when I pee. It doesn't feel
like ligament stretching either. I have a
doctor appointment tomorrow, should I just
wait and ask tomorrow? Or if any of you
guys would have any idea what it might be,
that would be great. =)

It could be the baby. Try laying down
and rubbing your tummy...Maybe it will
move the baby and the pain will go away.
If that doesn't work, then I would see if
you could get an earlier appt.

Well, I called my doctors office and all
the doctors were gone, so the secretary
let me talk to one of the ob nurses and
the nurse automatically assumed they were
contractions. These pains are not
contractions. They only last for like 2
seconds and they're more of a sharp pain
than a crampy feeling. My stomach
doesn't tighten up with I have one either.
The pain mainly happens when I lean to
one side or if I sit straight up or if I
lean over forward. One of my friends
told me that I could find out if they were
contractions by taking a warm bath,
because warm water makes contractions
stronger. I took a bath and it actually
made me feel a little bit better, so I
don't believe they are contractions at
all. I'm really not sure what they are.
Maybe the baby is just getting too big in
there and now it's starting to put
pressure on things and maybe that's what's
causing these awful pains...All I know is
that it hurts!!

It's time for bed now, and i'm still
having those pains. I think I know what
it is now..Although i'm not totally sure.
I think it's from his head moving further
down into my pelvis. I feel a lot of
pressure really low down...Almost like
when i'm standing up he's going to fall
out. So...I hope I go into labor soon.
I just really want to be done with all
this pain.
