Hello, I am very new to the pregnancy game but my wife is around week 15-16 of our first child. The evening sickness (she only got sick at nights, not mornings) is dying down, but in the past week she's gotten a nosebleed in the middle of the night for several days in a row. Reading online that appears to be common enough that I'm not that worried about it, but we don't really know how to combat this. She's going back to the doctor in a couple days for something unrelated and we'll ask then. But does anyone here have any ideas?

Well we just booked our C-section date, 2 weeks from now. We need to spend 24 hours in isolation after a covid test, and then we go. About a week in the hospital aftrr to recover, then 2 weeks in a post partum clinic. And we still don't have a name yet... gently caress it is hard to think about that.

Everything okay, I'm sitting in the post-op waiting room with half a dozen other new dads, and we're all on our phones.

Yes, when driving to the hospital. Once the C-section began it was done in 30 minutes. The road to recovery begins. The first time my wife tried walking she got a post partum chill and started faltering, I was able to get her to bed and cover her in blankets. Took about a half hour to subside and it was very scary.

I currently live in a fourth floor walk up and every week need to schlep several pieces of baby equipment between there and the grandparents every week. it is good exercise which is good because I don't get alot of that anymore.

Nessa posted:No need to cram. But I do recommend finding an app to track sleep, feeds and diapers. We use Huckleberry. It can be immensely helpful to know exactly when baby last ate, when they last slept and how many diapers they’ve had. Especially when you’re in a sleep deprived state and are trying to parent with your partner. We can both set sleep timers and log diapers so the other parent knows what’s up by checking the app. Yeah Baby Day book was recommended in the Parenting thread and it (through our kid) ran our life for the first three months. Your brain will be fried, we really needed it.

I'm sure they cost a bajillion dollars in the US but going to a post-partum center for 2 weeks after 4 days in the hospital was great for my wife and gave us time to prepare for the entire going home process. It would have been nicer before the covid protocols (no family was allowed in, most mommy extracurriculars. we're cancelled) but they helped teach my wife how to feed, how to pump, how to swaddle, how to give the baby a bath, everything. Although by the end of two weeks we had only had the baby in the room twice - instead they have a camera set up in the nursery for you to watch them on tv. Absolutely worth it to pay for peace of mind.

Baby was twice in the room, everything was stricter because of covid protocols. We did have viewing into the baby pen three times a day. The original idea comes from "sitting the month" in Chinese culture which has kinda turned into a big industry. https://www.npr.org/2011/07/20/138536998/for-chinese-moms-birth-means-30-days-in-pajamas All together for the birth and two weeks instead of the full month it was 4,000 USD?

Yeah, I guess I forgot about that although it only happened 4-5 times. we would get a call from the nursing station to try and my wife would go down to try, (which... well she never did it when we got home and were bottles for everything) I only went once because the nurses didn't want me there.
