Hi AF'ers!

I have missed this forum. I've been out, MIA and hiatus due to pregnancy - but I've been lurking about hehe.

Well, I just wanted to share that I am expecting a little luk-krueng girl by March 28th, but I hope I will have her a little earlier than the expected due date. Carrying a child and going through different pregnancy symptoms is really hard, not for all, but for me, I was unlucky to have been in pain and discomfort. Fatigue is now hitting me again so right now, I just love my bed and pillows and my T.V. lol.

I'm sooooo super excited that the day is coming closer to finally holding my little girl! Nine hard months will pay off, surely!

Wish me luck, though! I'm gonna need it when I go through labor hahaha...

Anybody here have kids? Or planning on having kids soon?

I don't want kids but I'm really interested in maternal and child nutrition. So ironic I know. Hope you have a safe labor and wish you luck with the little one.

Just want to let you know that babies on the first day are very angelic since they're still recovering but expect a lot of crying on day 2 and forward. Just don't panic or be frantic. It's biologically set up that way :)

Have you taken a maternal class or baby class? They are very interesting and can teach you a lot about why babies cry instead of always feeding your baby or sticking a bottle in their mouth or making them sleep.

Also, do you plan to breastfeed? I definitely encourage it. No infant formula is as superior as human breast milk. Human breast milk and colostrum contains antibodies and anti-infective factors not found in infant formulas. It's a bit difficult to learn how to properly breastfeed so don't hesitate to ask nurses, doctors, or consult a lactation consultant if needed. :)

Thanks everybody!!! It's been such a long journey and now that I'm finally in March and have officially hit 9 months this month, the anxiety is hitting me a little more than before.

I am all for breastfeeding, yes yes! I will have to sacrifice the boobies for baby for a few months because I plan on going back to nursing school to further my education as a nurse. It's going to be somewhat of a challenge, but the good part is the in-laws will help out and so will hubby.

I have never thought of myself having kids in my life. I used to party a lot and look at me, all settled down and all motherly. I tell ya, it's a BIG change and one I really really like too! NEVER thought I'd change! Thanks to a wonderful life partner :)

I will keep you guys updated. When I have my baby, I will post a pic of my little luk krung girl. As for the name.....ummmmmmmmm....yeah. I dunno. Let's hope we think of one as soon as she appears LOL! :whahuh:

So hello hello! I am back with my baby in my arms. I had her March 19th. I did it natural with no I.V. meds or epidural, so I felt everything. Painful? Can I say hellllll yeah! But it was doable. What hurt more than contractions were the pushings. Ouch...especially when her head was out. The cord was around her neck as well but the midwife unwinded it. Once the midwife placed her on my chest for skin to skin contact, oh my GAWD....I was crying like a baby. She was so beautifull, I can't believe she is mine. Life as a mom these past 7 days has been tiring (lol) but so rewarding. I can't stop staring at her Asian face. She looks a lot like me. But I know that can change. I'll post a pic later. Thanks for reading.

Thank you! :)

She isn't that hard to take care of. The hardest part to it is having to calm her when she fusses, but that's normal for any baby. Other than that, life as a mother has been full of sleepless nights and baby pukes and poo,, but it is wonderful moreso than the mess. I am so in love. Thank you for letting me share my little birth story. I'm gonna miss watching lakorns, but that's okay. I'm gonna make her watch it with me once she turns 1, haha - "no milk until you finish this episode!" Lll just kidding hehe....Anyway, the pic is coming soon. I'm in love, I wanna show her to the world haha.
