I'm fat, I'm fat.. I'm really really fat.. When I sit around the house, I REALLY sit around the house.
And you talk to a lady who's expecting and she looks like she has octupled in size in the last 2 days, and she would be like: "Since I got pregnant I only gained 3 Kg".
( * .. In your nose?!*)
Lying preggo bitch!
In Egypt they tell expectant women to eat for two. And I guess we all know by now that it's not the way it should be, and that we should eat for hunger.
I decided to eat only for hunger instead of for two.. So I ended up eating for twenty-two.
Last times around I could go back to my good old shape, but now that I'm in the middle of it, it just seems like such an impossible dream..
And then it suddenly hit me.
As an interlectual woman, no matter how hard I try to hide it, and among all those slogans of "what's inside is all that matters".. (*my ass*, *no, really, my ass *is* what matters*).. My feeling of self-worth is terribly dependent on my exterior.
That's simply the way it is.
And then I go out in a desperate attempt to shop the pink elephant away..
While trying the clothes on.. I try some cognitive therapy : *humming* "Don't I look like a Halle Berry posta".. But this little voice keeps pissing: "The rich witch still looks like a fat bitch" *twitch and itch*. And as I look in the mirror I see a weird mixture of Queen Latifah plus Kristie Alley plus Rosie O'Donnell plus Sono.
Men are afraid of being impotent, bald or jobless. But why are they not scared of going fat?
I have some single friends who went out on some blind dates and ended up getting rejected because they weighed above-average.
I sometimes think that big foreign women who choose for certain types of Egyptian men are doing so because they finally found someone who loved them for the weight. In the Egyptian countryside culture, the whiter and fatter, the better!
It's mostly a cultural thing.
Anyway, I can't believe how much this crap means to me.
Is there anyone who shares me this secret obsession with constant worry about the fat cushions? And is there anyone who is finally over this phase at a certain point of time?
IMPORTANT NOTE: I never had any eating disorders but I was never a big eater till I became pregnant.

If you managed to lose the weight after the other pregnancy/ies, you'll be able to do it again. I don't know what you look like now, but I'm sure you'll still be a beauty with a couple more kg's.
You'll have more than one kid to take care of so you'll no doubt get trim again running around after them anyway Don't worry about it... probably your extra hormones just making you feel down - you'll be fine.

Really necromancer, I dont think your being fair to MK. Having a little insecurity about weight-gain after pregnancy is perfectly normal for all woman.

Why is it a woman who has intelligence,education, wealth, quick wit and the balls to call a spade a spade is called a "rich bitch", but a woman whose only goal in life is her continued quest to get people to help her wallow in self-pity and find a man to "rescue her" because she cant face the reality of life gets a pity party.

5 months pregnant, up 15 pounds, and I have three words for you sister... Chef Boyardee Beefaroni.
I eat about twice a day, breakfast is usually croissant with cheese, and whatever the hell I want for lunch, then I spend the rest of the day sitting around burping up the taste of lunch and feeling it burn through my esophagus. I am still cooking every meal for the fellas at the house, but I can't bear to eat anything at night except CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM.
So I am just now starting to have a baby belly, my breasts are ginormous, and people are finally asking me... "are you preg?"
Don't let weight gain be the catalyst for getting stressed, or DO let it and be happy you are able to displace all the other anxiety of having a baby into how much you weigh. Also be happy you are pooping. See... small victories
Himself is funny.. all "you have to eat babe, you have to eat for ze baby". I'm all "uhhhh baby is the size of a dill pickle and weighs under a pound.. how much food do you think he needs?" But boy has a few strategic pounds sent our sex life into the stratosphere!!!
Interlectually speaking, gainign weight SUCKS especially in such a dramtic time frame and with such specific results. (not a big butt, a big belly!) But f*ck it, you can't fight it, so embrace your inner freak and take loving yourself to the next level. I have raised kids, but this is the first one I've carried and god dang are these hormones great or what? PLUS no matter what you do or say.. you always have the Preg fallback!!!

WOW! thats crazy C, what a great way to stay motivated. i have to lose weight if i wanna fit in my engagement dress, if i wanna get engaged, so- dieting isnt hard for me, working out is.im so lazy.

I was teased to death for not having the typical Egyptian mega-udders when I was young. But I never wanted to become big busted. And when it happens with pregnancy, I'm like "yeah baby" for the sake of having seen it once, but when they recoil back to position zero, I am very happy with my good old self.
I have a sister whose bust enters the room minutes before she does, and she's really skinny. She gets all the attention, but her back is indeed killing her, and she says when she plays her favorite sports (tennis and squash), it feels like the would fly up and hit her in the face.
No thanks.

I have to say that nursing made the extra weight fly away, and that the joy of seeing my baby thrive on me and only me gave me the biggest confidence boost I ever had.. but becoming the good old me seems like such a far and away dream.
Why does nature have to fcuk us up so badly in order to have children? I do not know of one woman who survived childbirth intact! I mean even Madonna n her attempts to go back to normal.. She lost her way and became a dude!

Yana, I only followed one diet in my life called the Danish diet for 15 days (I won't post a link because I don't want to name it as a good diet), but I wanted to lose the remaining baby-fat Kg so badly..
I almost gave up in day 3. I felt so sorry for the women who have to spend their lives jumping form one diet to the other. Really awful!
But I did finish it! And guess what my motivation was.. It was to come back here and tell you I did it!
I think having some support/competition within a group of people does the trick.
I'm very lazy too.. And I found out that group sports is my only motivation. Unlike joining a boring gym where no-one takes notice of your absence, in a group sport, the team can't start without you so you HAVE to show up.
If you have children or a busy job, it's an impossible dream to have a regular life, I know. In this case just use those small tricks like involving in physical activities with the kids and never buying junk foods etc.. Last but not least, don't forget the fatso pix on the fridge!
I use my kiddo as a dumbbell! I do have a small gym at home though, but I don't use it that much when I'm pregnant because I am not pro intensive sports with pregnancy.
But without motivation I wasn't able to do that much. I would always set goals, like winning a certain competition.. etc..
Good luck Yana and take it easy. Healthy long-term eating habits are way better than crash diets. But I know you know that. Posted by MK the Most Interlectual (Member # 8356) on :

Sorry! but this thread really makes me mad
You know NM, I woke up the other day on a more horrible image.. As I was asking my mirror who's the prettiest rich bitch in the world.. I found A GREY HAIR
As I was staring at this grey hair sticking its tongue out at me, I didn't think of the children in Africa, or the mothers in Iraq, or the people of Palestine, or the leukemia children everywhere, or people with stage IV cancer or disability..
I ONLY THOUGHT OF THAT GREY HAIR.
I had flashes of age-spots and redundant skin.. Saggy boobs and guys not staring.. Fat cushions and cellulite.. Spider veins and hot flushes.. Dry and itchy skin and mucosa.. Quitting high heels because of the Lumbago.. Not being able to say YO WASSUP DUDE without people laughing.. Becoming illiterate to the latest software.. I thought of the 7 imaginary friends called Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful and Psycho, that women have to end up living with as they age.
That's what that grey hair made me think, dude!
Now I would like to thank you in the name of all the rich bitches for your contribution, and would like you to know that some rich bitches do have their charitable moments, thank you very much.
Your name reminded me of Da Vinci's saying: "Of all human opinions that is to be reputed the most foolish which deals with the belief in Necromancy".
Have you ever experienced PMS or lethal doses of Progesterone? It's like WMD, man!

Good to know that one woman has kept her sanity among the inevitable fatso phase of life.
There was a scene in SATC where Carrie and the girls went to a casino, and Amanda had just given birth.. And a fat guy said to Amanda: "Move up, fat bitch".. And Carrie shouted back: "She's just had a baby, and what's YOUR excuse?".

Dear nicely round MK (due to forthcoming happy event, and I am sure you are very fetching now)!!!
Sorry to hear you feel so fat and bloated... As others have said, consider it temporary, soon that weight will be out, you'll be back to normal, and until then, thankfully you have the empathy of others here in your condition, goodie!!!
Otherwise, just go with the flow - you know hormones do funny things to ladies at this time.. (And how is that for silly but well-meaning drivvel, sorry, I don't know what else to say of great cheer...).
Hang in there and all the best to you - oh, and perhaps you could eat only lettuce leaves when the hunger strikes you??? Other than the obvious non-weight-gain-thing, did you know that about 1,ooo heads of lettuce have the SAME effect on one as one Viagra pill??? HAHAHAHA... True, though - happy munching!!!
And to my dear Laura - no, no, I am not a doctoora, neither did I mean to give that impression... I am qualified as a counsellor, this was done for voluntary work I used to do back in London (for an AIDS organisation, many years ago). So I did practise this, however, only on an unpaid and voluntary basis, never as a full-time professional - so I don't like to call myself a counsellor, just said I had the training and then some experience.... JOB-wise I worked for lawyer's firms, first in London and then on the Red Sea, two totally different things...
Better point this out before I confuse anyone here terribly - besides, it would not do to mess up La Sono's files on me, we MUST have the correct details!!!!
Now if only I had posted yet whether or not I am a sugarmama, second or third wife, and how many Orfis I've signed in my time in Egypt, haha..... Aaah - are there any children??? And what was my religion again??? Well, never mind, I am positive La Sono shall tell me (that and more) soon....

MK Your thread angered me. I know a very prominent man who was obsessed by weight. He made his wifes life hell, she was always under 8 stones. He eventually had to give up his brilliant career to drive to another country to pick up his anorexic daughter from university. She was eighteen, and a skeleton, when she died of starvation. He was inconsolable. Since her early teens he hounded her about her weight. She weighted no more than 9 1/2 stone at any time. Some of your posts are very funny, some are interesting but I find you very pre occupied with celebrity. Could be the pressure of being married to a plastic surgeon that makes you feel insecure about your weight but remember that young and vulnerable people read your posts. Just look at the Milan catwalks to see what I mean. Who cares what Heidi Klum looks like!
The most beautiful women are often the most insecure and shallow.

I love celebrity gossip. Not only because I just do, but because many patients come to us wanting JLo's butt, or Johnny Depp's hairline, (OMG once a guy wanted Micky Mouse's hairline. I swear!), so it would be handy to know how those people look like, don't you think?
And I have always been aware of my weight, even way before I met my husband. My worst nightmare is to grow fat. I don't care if this angers you.
And what if young and vulnerable people are reading this? Am I the only one in the whole wide web who mentions worrying about her weight? WE have a member here who is actually paying for a site that is starving her to death. Why is this not angering you then?
Yes I do look at Milan catwalks and those poor souls look miserable to me. What makes you think I want to be like them?
I just feel fat damn it!
And even though I have the option of surgery available on the spot, I have never considered getting rid of the extra fat with surgery, unlike the lady who you LOL with and respect her opinion so much about not being obsessed with looks. She's had surgery done in pursuit of beauty, so why don't you worry about the voices in her head that made her spend thousands of Pounds on such a trivial thing instead of charitable work?

MK is right, most women are concerned with weight, in my experience. Slim women like food a lot too. It is sometimes assumed that just because a woman is slim that she doesn't crave the things that a plumper one might. I have worked in places where all of the women were slim yet obsessed with diet. All of us loved to talk about and discuss food. It honestly was a top topic. Men just don't seem to do this, although they can have issues with food too.

Sorry to hear you feel so fat and bloated... As others have said, consider it temporary, soon that weight will be out, you'll be back to normal, and until then, thankfully you have the empathy of others here in your condition, goodie!!!
Otherwise, just go with the flow - you know hormones do funny things to ladies at this time.. (And how is that for silly but well-meaning drivvel, sorry, I don't know what else to say of great cheer...).
Hang in there and all the best to you - oh, and perhaps you could eat only lettuce leaves when the hunger strikes you??? Other than the obvious non-weight-gain-thing, did you know that about 1,ooo heads of lettuce have the SAME effect on one as one Viagra pill??? HAHAHAHA... True, though - happy munching!!!
And to my dear Laura - no, no, I am not a doctoora, neither did I mean to give that impression... I am qualified as a counsellor, this was done for voluntary work I used to do back in London (for an AIDS organisation, many years ago). So I did practise this, however, only on an unpaid and voluntary basis, never as a full-time professional - so I don't like to call myself a counsellor, just said I had the training and then some experience.... JOB-wise I worked for lawyer's firms, first in London and then on the Red Sea, two totally different things...
Better point this out before I confuse anyone here terribly - besides, it would not do to mess up La Sono's files on me, we MUST have the correct details!!!!
Now if only I had posted yet whether or not I am a sugarmama, second or third wife, and how many Orfis I've signed in my time in Egypt, haha..... Aaah - are there any children??? And what was my religion again??? Well, never mind, I am positive La Sono shall tell me (that and more) soon....
Love to you ladies, Bubble
PS. I am ONE Bubble - see, that is the name of my small, elegant Egyptian Siamese cat - just Bubble, not plural, cause she used to be bubbly in character - and *I* am her person, the bringer of food and TLC units, hence the nick..
Bubble, again, I am truly impressed by your genuine sweetness.

Could be the pressure of being married to a plastic surgeon that makes you feel insecure about your weight but remember that young and vulnerable people read your posts. Just look at the Milan catwalks to see what I mean. Who cares what Heidi Klum looks like!
I love celebrity gossip. Not only because I just do, but because many patients come to us wanting JLo's butt, or Johnny Depp's hairline, (OMG once a guy wanted Micky Mouse's hairline. I swear!), so it would be handy to know how those people look like, don't you think?
And I have always been aware of my weight, even way before I met my husband. My worst nightmare is to grow fat. I don't care if this angers you.
And what if young and vulnerable people are reading this? Am I the only one in the whole wide web who mentions worrying about her weight? WE have a member here who is actually paying for a site that is starving her to death. Why is this not angering you then?
Yes I do look at Milan catwalks and those poor souls look miserable to me. What makes you think I want to be like them?
I just feel fat damn it!
And even though I have the option of surgery available on the spot, I have never considered getting rid of the extra fat with surgery, unlike the lady who you LOL with and respect her opinion so much about not being obsessed with looks. She's had surgery done in pursuit of beauty, so why don't you worry about the voices in her head that made her spend thousands of Pounds on such a trivial thing instead of charitable work?
"Er.. Take a good look in the mirror" and then talk!
I can think of a whole lot worse nightmares than getting fat but 'hey' we are all different, thank God.
Who was it that wrote about the fool who gave her kingdom away for a tub of macarona and lentils? Da Vinci!! or was it The Chef?
My lol was at Rumicraziluv thinking that I had called you 'rich bitch' ,when in fact you called yourself that ( it speaks volumes) and Mrs C was just pointing that out. Then rumicraziluv realised her mistake. You missed the sarcasm in Mrs C's post. Obviously from your tone you have issues with Mrs C, that is your business not mine.
If you are sending your children to school on the money made from sad people who want Mickey Mouse hairlines then again that is your business. Please carry on studying at celebrities, dont let me disturb you. Obviously it fills a void in your life.
""Er.. Take a good look in the mirror" and then talk!
No need! we appear to be poles apart. Thankfully.
SWYS Yes I dont disagree that women have weight issues.
But the factor here is she is pregnant! what does she expect? to lose weight? Doesn't her husband tell her how beautiful she looks pregnant? Obviously not or she would be writing that thread instead of how fat she is!

My conclusion of you mentioning this is that you've been a lurker for way too long, and you decided to join by copying and pasting some recipes. Therefore I think you're morbidly obese and obsessed with food. And you are upset that someone actually looks good while you don't.

I agree with chimps. I don't think I'm so great. But we all have something special about us. We all want to be the most beautiful woman in the world to our man. Thank God I finally have one who thinks that! So that definately helps. But the real beauty is inside.

You said it before and I agree with you, we are worlds apart when it comes to defining class. Thankfully.
A foreign poster who posts all around the place thousands of remarks that are disrespectful of religion and culture of Egypt on an Egyptian board, and who is using is extremely sexually explicit so-called jokes in every occasion, feels like a malignant tumor to me. They spread uncontrollably causing irreversible damage and without respect of rules. Therefore I am not even sure what you understand under restraint!
But I apologize for using figure speech that is difficult for you to understand.
Here let me help you with some dictionary definitions:
can·cer /ˈkænsər/ 1. Pathology. a. a malignant and invasive growth or tumorb. any disease characterized by such growths.
2. any evil condition or thing that spreads destructively; blight.
A pernicious, spreading evil: A cancer of bigotry spread through the community.

Your assumption are wrong too. The fact that you got angered and jumped into a fight with a pregnant woman complaining about her body image, while you left another poster get away with eating 700 calories a day without one comment, makes me doubt the seriousness of the whole discussion.

Thank you.
quote:You can go back to your calorie counting and I wont disturb you further.
And you go back to your paranoia away from me. I never said I counted my calories being pregnant. I believe you are reflecting your anger about your friend who starved his daughter on me, which makes it your problem.
What is this daft monologue? You insist on shoving accusations about my lifestyle and when I mirror you, you get angry. Every assumption you made about me and my lifestyle was wrong. Even that story you mentioned of me craving for Koshari while pregnant proves your own point wrong. What a waste of time indeed!

Lefty - CONGRATULATIONS!!! Are you home already? Thanks God you and the baby are okay. I gained 18 lbs last time and was teeny tiny to begin with. If you looked at me from the back you couldn't tell I was preggers. Hahaha! But 13, yeah that's not much! Back to the topic - Queen Latifah had a very publicized breast reduction surgery. Her chest was just way too huge. Then she combo-ed the benefits of the reduction, which makes most people look like they lost 25 lbs, with diet and tons of working out to have a big strong healthy body. Its great to vibe on all the good feelings and bodaciousness of pregnancy, but I think one should "train" like they are going to the Olympics. In other words, the more exercise and strengthening and stretching you do, if you are allowed, the easier delivery will be and the faster you will bounce back. You will also feel so much better about your body as it goes through all the changes. Go ahead, have a yoga baby!

Back to sanity planet. *phew*
QB, last pregnancy I had premature contractions at 27 weeks+5, and I had obligatory bed-rest for 10 weeks. My God was that time a nightmare! Sudden switching from an extremely active and stressful life to total void was really hard to cope with.
This time around I'm being extra careful of course. I hardly do any physical activity and I think *that* is the reason why I'm feeling down. I feel so much better after physical exertion.
I have a yoga book and a pilates DVD, but I haven't been disciplined enough to do that stuff on regular basis. Your post motivates me though.
Thanks.

Ya Sheba, I have been with my husband for more than half a decade and he still tells me I'm the most beautiful everyday (and I'm not). He even stares and wows when I get out of the shower (and God I hate that!!), but you know what I mean; it's me me me..
I keep telling him he's lying!!
And I as a typical woman just keep asking for it. I was trying a new pair of maternity jeans on and I was like boohoo I'm fat. I'm so fat. Fat fat fat fat.. And then I turned and asked hubby what he thinks, and he was like: "Wow you're fat ".

Unfortunately it has a strong genetic factor to it, KM. Many women do have this problem and some opt for surgery if it bugs them too much (NM: ). I personally nursed forever and still hardly noticed any change, while my friend Sh.F. told me once that her boobs became to resemble two socks with two eggs in them
We often have patients who come with their hubbies and get correction surgeries as a present for successfully finishing the offspring production phase . However, hubby doesn't operate those, but we refer them to another clinic that does. We do see the results though. Really excellent but there are scars left. Just wanted to add that hosbond does correction surgeries mostly for medical indications and is very cautious with patients who seek help for psychological reasons.
For breast correction surgeries, there are three options depending on the situation: 1/breast lift, 2/implants, 3/both.
Anyone with questions about this can PM me otherwise you will have a boobs chapter in Sono's file.

Breasts are created for breastfeeding, Smuck. That's a small sacrifice for seeing the baby grow healthier and more intelligent than the others.
They will droop with age anyway, so at least blaming breastfeeding would be an acceptable excuse.
And I'm afraid you will go through lots of trouble breastfeeding ONLY becasue education around lactation is almost ZERO in Egypt. I mean even Egyptian women cannot get proper education about it, let alone a foreign person.
But that's a whole different story.

Of course you should. The baby can't get anything better than that. Mother milk beats any bottle milk 100times.
If for some reasons you have problems to breastfeed or you really don't like it - of course no one can force you.
Posted by With a name like Smuckers (Member # 10289) on :
I should get a book on breastfeeding or look online then, I mean if it's better for the baby then naturally that's what is most important, but I don't want to be droopin' (is that narcissistic or what?) Posted by Laura (Member # 879) on :
Way past this age, but I will say, that if I was having a baby in Egypt, I would most certainly opt for breastfeeding.
Simply due to the fact of the ease and cleanliness factor. (aside from the obvious one of it being so much better for the baby)
Good luck Smuckers

At first, Tream Lefty, CONGRATULATIONS for your baby boy! Obviously everything went fine, you are doing wonderfuland and so is the healthy baby!
I am a little confused that you described that you have c-section stiches across your belly?
This kind of operation is not done anymore these days, my mom has a huge scar still from her c-section on the stomach when she delivered me in 1974.
I had so far four c-sections and everytime they cut just above the pubic area. It really doesn't look bad; it's not big either.
And about the the stretchmarks: Well you start really seeing them all once the baby is 'out'.
But don't worry about your stretchmarks and your belly for right now, the swelling will go down, the uterus will shrink etc.
Make sure you don't do any sports for the next following weeks incl. drastic homework or heavy carrying.
Congratulations again!!! All the best for your little family!!! Posted by With a name like Smuckers (Member # 10289) on :

Posted by Karah_Mia (Member # 4668) on :
Thanks so much MK - I agree with you about the genetic factor in the droopin' department. In that case correctional surgery seems to be the only option. I don't think changing post-preg body is only a woman's psychological issue: the husband is equally affected from the aesthetical point of view. On one hand he is a crazy happy to be a father but on the second one in most cases his wife's body will never be the same... And then he looks at the fallen women dancing with their bellies and the galloping depression case is ready!
Tiger - My mom also had a c-section from up to down and it lookded scary... Maybe it depends on the doctor and medical state of patient du jour?? I thought above pubic hair area is the one to cut these days, but I am not an expert...

I had that type of incision because I was a full placenta previa, which ruptured. I think this is the only type of incision they can make for this condition. (Scariest time of my life)!

I don't think changing post-preg body is only a woman's psychological issue: the husband is equally affected from the aesthetical point of view. On one hand he is a crazy happy to be a father but on the second one in most cases his wife's body will never be the same... And then he looks at the fallen women dancing with their bellies and the galloping depression case is ready!
You're very welcome.
And you have a point mentioning the male feelings about the whole process. You see, I hate hate hate hate hate men who complain to others that their wives' physiques have never been the same since the kids, but I still think women should exert some effort to get back in shape.
Most women in Egypt become post-natal titanic penguins because of the cultural restraints on women doing sports. Really a shame. Because men complain about their wives' figures and still won't let them go out and do something about it!

That's one important indication to it. I'm sorry you had to go through that Laura.
You also have women who have anterior wall myomas or other types of tumors (on the front side of the uterus), that require this type of incision, or or in certain emergency situations, if the baby is in the transverse position or breech and very premature.

You should read about it for sure, but you will need a one-on-one supervision as soon as you deliver. Maybe you can find a lactation consultant in Cairo, but not in Shebin. Have you ever thought of delivering in Cairo? It's really way better than Shebin, Smuck.

What is the preferred method in Egypt, Spinal Block or General Anethesia? Or is it all dependant on what the mom-to-be wants?
Depends on the hospital and the patients' choices (in "commercial" hospitals!).

I've thought about it but a normal drive is roughly 45 minutes - that's not in traffic and if I'm in labor.. Posted by MK the Most Interlectual (Member # 8356) on :

Yes I agree that's an issue, especially that I never trust Cairo's traffic. If a VIP like President Bush or King Kong would be visiting that day then I'm sure it will take you half the day to reach the hospital.
It takes longer than an hour though between the first signs of labor until the baby is there.
Good luck anyway. Let me know if I can do anything.

My hospital was 45 minutes to an hour away from my house -- with no traffic. It worked out fine, thank God. But I ended up with a scheduled c-section and was lucky enough not to go into labor before that. Perhaps you could do something like me -- find the hospital where you want to deliver, plan for that, but have a back-up hospital close to your house.
Oh, but did I mention I was scheduled on the one day there was an ice storm? We had to drive to the hospital at 5:30 in the morning, before any roads had been plowed. The doctor, who was 5 or 6 months pregnant herself, got stuck in the snow and had to dig herself out. She was late, my surgery was late. Interesting day. Posted by Tream Lefty (Member # 6244) on :

I am a little confused that you described that you have c-section stiches across your belly?
Yeah, actually it's a *classic C-section* with a vertical cut, about 6 inches from belly button down. And they actually cut an inverted T to be precise.
I had a HUGE 17 cm ovarian cyst removed right after the baby was born, which was the reason for the odd cut. I was set to go regular delivery, but at the last minute they changed their minds.

CONGRATULATIONS Tream!!! I had no idea you already had the baby. Try & rest now as much as you can especially since the baby will sleep a lot for awhile. Good Luck. I know you are so happy and so proud!!
