Taking the kidos to trick or treat at a camp ground! I hope you have a great weekend!!
Also working on my nursery!
Does anyone know what kind of vacuum she uses? I have found a variety on Amazon but, I would like to know her specific one.
Does anyone know what kind of vacuum she uses?
Love his nursery! Your organization and decorative skills are amazing! I'm also pregnant, with baby #2 (due in January!), and I'm a labor and delivery nurse. You will do great in labor, and it will be the most awe-inspiring experience regardless of how it goes, when you see that baby for the first time! Expect about 48 hours from the time they start inducing you until he arrives! This is your body's first time doing this. It will take time. My words of advice: Hospital bag: -CHAPSTICK!!!!!, Your own toiletries (hair/makeup/deodorant), your own pillow and a comfy blanket, a going home outfit for yourself, snacks, drinks, two sizes for going home outfit for baby. Really, the hospital should provide the rest. Your pads, disposable panties (or get those Always brand panties/pads, which are super comfy), your after care for your bottom (only use ice packs for the first 24-48 hours, if you need some when you go home just wet a diaper and freeze it), diapers, wipes, swaddles, hats, butt paste/desitin, should all be provided by the hospital. Bring a boppy nursing pillow if you want. Pack light, and pack smart. You won't even use half of what you bring no matter how much you bring. Labor advice: -don't have a strict "labor/birth plan". The best plan is being open to where your baby and your body take you, and coping skills for whatever may come your way. Only include on your plan those things that are truly important and you feel like you can't do without. Example: exclusively breastfeeding, what baby medications you want (typically the first hepatitis B vaccine, antibiotic eye ointment, and vitamin K), circumcision or not, and pain control wishes for yourself. If you want an epidural, just get it, but hold out as long as you are comfortable doing, and then who cares. You do you. Don't suffer, but be open to the experience! Your body is made for this and you can do it! But also be open to whatever makes sense according to your doctor to get that boy here safely! :D -look up Spinning Babies! Game changer for getting your body ready for labor now, and helping that baby line up during labor. It's like yoga for pregnancy and labor! -listen to your nurses and doctor, but also, NEVER BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS OR QUESTION THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS! Or at the very least ask them why that makes sense. -for induction, if they give you a choice, try to avoid the "balloon" (cervical ripening balloon or it's also called a cooks catheter). They're not terrible, and they typically work, but the baby's head often goes "acynclitic" aka tilts kind of crooked, and they have a harder time lining up right early on in labor. They usually will eventually, but it can take longer. They also often hurt, especially if you've never had a baby before. Also, hold off on them breaking your water if possible. It protects the baby and you from bacteria exposure. That being said, if you aren't progressing, it may be worth a shot, to help keep things moving. Lastly, but most importantly: -keep your sugars tightly controlled from now until you deliver. It will help your baby control his better when he is here, which will help him cope when he is nursing. -nursing is hard, and it's a marathon, not a sprint! Reach out to a lactation consultant when you leave the hospital for outpatient support. Keep at it! I teach women how to breastfeed, and it still took me and my baby 8 weeks to really get it right! My anatomy was poor (flat nipples), but we did it! He breastfed for almost 2.5 years! Best experience ever! But it was a struggle to get there. Just keep at it if it is truly what YOU want to do! Good luck, stay positive, it will be so beautiful and wonderful, and keep in mind a happy and healthy baby is the ultimate goal! ❤
Garbage advice but expected from an l&d nurse
@@karmawildbirth do you care to elaborate? What part is garbage?
I'm surprised by the 48 hours. I was induced and delivered within 12 hours. I would have been terrified if someone told me 48 hours. My OB said she expected 18 hours but I got to skip one of the very first steps.
I would consider a small side table for by the rocker, a place to put water and your phone (and charger) or book while nursing! You will be drinking water constantly! I love the nursery so much! Zutanos are great baby shoes, warm and they stay on so well!
Yes! I was extremely thirsty for water when I breastfed. Great advice!
I agree. I so thirsty and needed space for my phone etc and always had a burp cloth near by
Agree!
Shoes might be cute, but they are a bother. Wont stay on, they usually have a blanket wrapped around them. Being a first time mom, u will decide, shoes are silly for babies ! 😉
Yep my kids didn’t even have shoes until they started walking loll I gave up 😅
Shoes are horrible for their development also
Babies wearing a shoe here and there won’t kill them
His nursery is so sweet and I wish I could go back in time and organize my kids drawers. This was so satisfying and I have teenagers!! 😆 with that being said….I’ve brought 4 babies home. We tend to prepare for the baby, so my advice is to focus a little on yourself. Do you have enough comfortable pajamas, nursery tops and tanks, nipple creams and heating pads, and all the odds and ends a new mom needs while her body is healing.
Very good point! I need to make sure I have those things! 😊
Such good advice!! Also, take time for yourself when he's here. Shower! Read a book! Take a little time each day for self care!
MotherLove nipple cream is the best!

Everything looks wonderful, but I would suggest to put some sleepers and undies in one of your changing table drawers. In the middle of the night you will appreciate them being closer. Best of everything to all of you.
It’s only one day of your life, so just remember that. And the reward is so worth it!!!💙💙💙
just wanted to mention that with using the cricut stuff it might be easier to weed off all the things you don't want before placing the transfer paper! It's quicker and easier that way. Also, I would get more onesies and sleepers just because they go through them so fast and can get dirty! Love this video! You definitely have a knack for organization!
Love his nursery 🥰 I had my daughter back in August, and I was so nervous for labor and delivery. It was such a positive experience, so don’t let all of the negative stories scare you!
With you having a dog, I would recommend when Oliver is born wrap him in a blanket and then take that blanket home for the dog to get used to Olivers smell. Good Luck hope everything goes smoothly 🙏
Love this!
So excited for Oliver’s arrival! The nursery is adorable and well organized!! I would suggest sleepers, sleeping gowns etc in one of those top drawers, easily accessible! Babies go through a ton of clothes in a day!
You’re not gonna want to have to run back and forth to the closet in the middle of the night to grab a new onesie or swaddle wrap when he has a blowout. You should put a small stack of onesies in one of those top dresser drawers.
Everything looks so adorable! I love the nursery theme. Not trying to be bossy, but I would definitely get a few more onesies and keep his sleepers in one of the dresser drawers for quick access. He will go through sleepers and onesies the most when he is a newborn and it’s much more convenient having them right by where he is being changed. Best of luck! You’ll do wonderful! 💕
I loved this video! Only 15 weeks and now I want to start getting baby's room ready!
Oh yay! Thanks for watching! Congrats on your baby! ❤️
So inspiring! But I did want to say I would do some research on Dreft laundry detergent it is LOADED with chemicals.
I love this video! I am 27 weeks & 4 days pregnant 🤰🏻 and this was great motivation! I can’t wait for my baby shower so I can start putting everything together and begin nesting mode 💙👶🏼 First time mom here too with a KZhead channel!
U may have already done this, but if not, I thought I’d mention it. I saw u putting all the pacifiers into the drawer straight from the package. Just like his clothes need to be washed, his pacifiers need to be put in boiling water to sterilize them before initial use. Hope this helps! ❤️
The rolling cart is an easy way to be prepared in any room of the house
It’s the house shoes for me lol! This video looks so relatable and authentic ❤️ Just found out I’m having my first son 💙 so the ideas are inspiring
Oliver’s nursery is precious!!! Good luck and don’t forget to enjoy the moment!! Can’t wait to meet Oliver, he is a lucky boy!!
I’d say with labor, bring what makes you comfortable. I was worried I was over-packing but it’s about your comfort and feeling prepared. Also I’ve brought a pillow and never regretted that haha! You’ll be great 💙
I had our 3rd baby in February... all three times I had to stay an extra night. So I would say always best to pack a little extra just incase but I did have c-sections. The whole time I was in labor and uncomfortable I just pictured my sweet baby and it help me get through it. Oliver's nursery looks great! Praying for a safe and healthy delivery for you!
Wow!!!! Way to go!!!! You did an awesome job getting ready for your sweet baby Oliver ...looks like you are all set and ready....one thing I would say is sleepers and more sleepers....I did not realize how much time was spent in them in the early months...also needed several covers for the changing pad...my first baby was also A boy my son Mark...lets say every night he either tickled or poopied on me and it lol...sending prayers for an easy delivery... God Bless!!!
Don't be anxious about labor! I know it's worrisome to not know what to expect but as soon as they lay Baby Oliver on your chest you'll never know another feeling like it! I would bring your pillow you sleep on every night and a warm blanket! I got an epidural with my first and I was freezing cold from it! I didn't have one with my 2nd because I almost had him at home LOL and definitely some comfy pajamas for when they let you shower and change clothes! I would also make sure you get some of the disposable undies (I think they advertise them for bladder control) the hospital should give you some mesh undies but these will be good to have once you get home as well and you can just toss them after use! And don't forget your chapstick! My lips would always get chapped while I was in the hospital! You're going to be a great mom! Praying for y'all :) :)
Lauren let’s be honest it will be uncomfortable and some pain. I remember thinking my own mum did this also. But but! Nothing can compare the feeling of relief and happiness when they place your new little boy in your arms you will forget what just happened and just be so in love with your little bundle. Don’t worry the hospital will look after you both. Look forward to seeing Oliver! Love from England🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
His room is adorable and very organized. I agree you need a little table by the chair. I used to get so thirsty when I would nurse my little girl. You will be an awesome mommy!
Your nursery is beautiful… all the pain will be worth it when you have baby Oliver in your arms. 💚
One of those 3-tier metal rolling carts from Michael’s to hold more diapers, wipes, blanked, burp rags
Take baby nail clippers. I didn't realize they would come out with them so long and need to be cut already.
So excited for you Lauren and praying for a safe delivery and healthy baby Oliver! 💕
Such a beautiful nursery ❤️ I can’t wait to see Oliver 😘
Hi Lauren I just had my baby this Saturday 23 and she is my baby #7 and let me tell you that all my 7 pregnancies and labor are so different from each other , I always experience something new in each labor and this is my last baby and I experience for the first time the epidural because I was in labor for 3 days with painful contractions and my doctor suggested the epidural and I think I did a good choice by saying yes to the apidural , so my suggestion to you is always keep in mind that whatever you decide it has to depend in your situation all my best to you and congrats 😚🤗
I feel like you’re a natural & you’re gonna be an amazing mom! I love watching your videos ❤️
Watching this a whole year after you did this 🥲 currently 30 weeks pregnant, my body is already yearning to nest but trying to hold it off until I’m on maternity leave in 4 weeks time so I can just focus on getting that done xxx
This was so helpful! Definitely stealing some ideas for our own dresser. Thanks for posting!
All the best on the delivery, you will be fine, looking forward to meeting little Oliver, love the nursery.
Love all you done so organized this is one of my favorite things to do. Praying for your family and your up coming birth.
So cute Lauren!!! I swear, organizing the nursery is the best part ❤️
Looks like you have everything covered,can't wait to meet baby Oliver.his nursery looks great!
I remember how scary being a first time mom can be because you want to do everything right, you want to make sure you have everything you need. You will find that once this sweet little boy enters the world and you hold him for the first time that your already pre-wired mother instincts are going to come flooding in. Follow those instincts and your gut feelings, be careful to watch for postpartum depression when your hormones come crashing down. I didn't have that until my 3rd child but it's very real and I'm not sure if it's still such a taboo subject these day's but enough research has been done on it to properly inform and help women these day's. Can't wait to meet little Oliver💙
Loving this organization motivation girl! I always size up for moms when I go to kid birthday parties just bc kids grow so fast & they’re all different sizes! I think it’s good to have some stuff on hand when they need transitioned. ☺️
The baby suspenders; ohhhhh the cutest!!! I love how you organized everything to be in placed, the neutrals, the theme… Super cute!! You are alll set, just waiting for his arrival! I pray you have a safe and healthy labor and delivery!!!
This is soooo cute 😍. Love how you set up everything for Oliver.
Thank you!!
Beautiful job decorating the nursery for the baby good luck ❤️😃
I wish I was this organized when I had my baby! I did order those dividers that go in the closet to separate his clothes. I loved it.
Congratulations ! So happy for you !
Your so organized great job. His nursery is so cute good luck and congratulations.
Not sure if baby Oliver is sleeping in your room at first but I highly suggest getting one of those rolling carts and adding diapers, wipes, sleepers/onesies, all the essentials you might need in the middle of the night. I swear it saved me so many times for those first few months until our babies slept in their crib! So excited for you ❤️
I ordered one of these yesterday! I’m excited to get it set up! He will be in our room! 🤗
This was super helpful for me thank you! ❤
Love the video and ideas. I would definitely weed the design on the paper first and then apply the transfer paper. I’m sure others have said this too. So much easier that way. 😊
Everything looks awesome 🤩
Sweetie I loved having my wipe warmer....baby appreciated it alot
Can’t wait to see little baby angel 👼🏻💕👼🏻
Just found this video today.. I've got bins stacked to go thru and wash baby clothes, a dresser to get ready for them and lots of baby stuff to deal with! I'm 38 weeks and was literally pouring coffee when you said that about coffee! This is giving me tons of motivation for getting baby #3's space ready! Thank you ♥️
My first was 9 lbs 10 oz. She was pretty much done with 0-3 in about 2 months. Wear your fave outfits sooner rather than later. 😜 Then my second was 7 lbs 11 oz and wore 0-3 until she was 4 or 5 months old. It is honestly hard to predict. They grow out of ALL of it too fast. ❤️
So excited for your family Lauren. He will be here so soon! Cant wait to see how precious he is. You did amazing organizing everything. You had asked questions about clothing so I thought I would share how it was for my daughter but like you said too every baby is different. My daughter was born at 7 lbs 14 oz and 20.5 in she was in newborn for about 2 weeks and then 0-3 for maybe a month. She didnt slow down until she started crawling at 6 months. Then she started walking at 10 months and really started to slow down (by this time she was in 12-18 months) By 1 she was starting to move into 2T and now she is just over 2 and still in 2T but starting to wear some pieces of 3T. She is 33inches and 25 lbs now so she is not that big anymore. I will say I feel like size 2 diapers and size 4 were the ones she stayed in the longest. She is now potty training and in 2t-3t pull ups. Hope this is helpful. Praying for a quick and safe delivery and recovery for you 🙏🙏
When I was a first time mom I also bought so many extra things I did not need - baby shoes - never wore them😀 and you will need only two pacifiers per month etc.
Hi Lauren. Wishing you lots of luck as you become a mom soon. I would suggest having a small table too. You will also need a box of tissues nearby as well as a tiny waste basket. As a nursing mom you will definitely need those items. Can't wait to see baby Oliver!!
hello Lauren you may need more onesies as little boys tend to wee straight through their dippers when they are new born i have 3 sons and all mine did this they went trough several outfits through the day my boys are 10,8 and 6 years now 🙂 xxx
What a beautiful nursery made with love ❤️. All the best for the delivery. I had my baby all natural. I had done a lot of research on pregnancy but less on labour. A friend who had delivered a few months earlier told me just push when you are in pain. Big mistake. My OB did not guide me either and I pushed during early labour. I had a rough recovery. I was lucky I didn't damage my internal organs. The only advice I would give is breath through the pain and don't push until you are told to by your doctor. All the best and waiting eagerly to see baby Oliver.
Love the video 💕 came from Marie’s channel Congratulations on baby boy! I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant with a baby boy as well
Hey love here watching. I definitely miss the prepping for baby part
Thank you for this moviation 😍😍
Love ❤️ to u and lots of love to Oliver.. god bless you dear
Oh my goodness that boy is set!! So cute! I cant get over the little shoes and the jeans 👖 you hung. My son will be 18 in 3 weeks and I forgot how cute lol
Oliver's nursery looks so cute and organized.
Thank you!
His nursery is so cute!! I’m so excited for you! Since you asked for some “heads up”, my son was a big baby and because of it he had low blood sugar. The nurses had to keep checking his sugar levels and said if his levels didn’t go up he would need an IV. Thankfully his sugar levels went up and all was well.
I’ve been warned of this as well! Hopefully I’ll have the same experience as you!
This is the cutest nursery room and organization I have ever seen . Definitely will save it for the future when me and my husband have a baby !
Thank you ❤️
It looks awesome 😎
This was a cute video, my kids never fit into 0-3 month lol. Durning labor pushing was the best part for me, had to be induced as well had an epidural with my son worked but with my daughter also induced ( was late with both) the epidural didn’t work so I had to have it removed. Breathing was the best part lol, so every labor is different, you got this. I swear MOM Mode kicks in once that baby is in your hands😍 Best of luck with it all, you’ll be an amazing Mother 💗💗
Hey there! First off, you are doing a super amazing job organizing!! I was not even remotely that organized, so you are definitely very well prepared! I was scheduled for induction because I was 38 years old, which is quite typical. I honestly wish I would have scheduled a cesarean section. After 24 hours of labor, a few epidurals and pure exhaustion, when it came time to push, my Dr. became concerned about my babe’s distress and meconium ingestion. I went straight to the OR where my little girl was delivered. She was doing great, but it became apparent that she had swallowed meconium and had to spend 8 days in the NICU. She is perfectly healthy now and will be three in May! I am NOT saying these things to scare you at all!!!! I just want your experience to be a good one, and for you to be able to weigh all of your options. Chances of you going through the same scenario as me are not likely, but it does happen. I was nervous about having a c section, which is why I chose induction. But because of the circumstances, I did not get that time with my baby that I wanted for bonding and feeding that would have normally occurred had I just planned a c section. I hope this helps and doesn’t freak you out. Like I said, I believe this is quite rare and you are also young and healthy. I can’t wait for you to hold your little nugget!! I’ll be praying for a perfect delivery!! 🥰🥰🥰
I love your videos so much Lauren
Thank you so much! 🤗
Very sweet nursery! I’m a mom of 5, my best advice for labor and delivery is to ask for a light epidural!!! I’ve had 1 epidural delivery, 3 natural, and one 24 hours of labor with an epidural that ended in a csection. Get a light one so you can feel your contractions and your own legs when you need to push, it will help so much!! For the clothes, you probably have 3 times more than you will actually need 😅 newborns just need sleepers, onesies and little pants. My kids were big babies and they were in 0-3 months til about 2-2.5 months. They trended 1 month ahead each time. Shoes never stay on. Everything is so cute, before buying for the next set of months clothes though pay attention to what you actually use. Babies shouldn’t be out in public much in the first 6-8 weeks. I made that mistake with my first and he ended up in the hospital at 5 weeks. Keep the baby at home, get a sitter if you want to go out and run errands and get some alone time, snuggle that baby and enjoy those first weeks. Postpartum - instead of the mesh undies, women’s depends were a game changer! Pull them off on the sides like a pull-up and toss them. They hold more, leak less and are more comfy than the giant pads 😂 bring a pack to the hospital. grab some vasoline or plain petroleum jelly for post circumcision, that’s one know one tells you with baby boys. You are such a loving mama already, Oliver is one lucky kiddo!! 💙
The tiny Ugg’s are everything 😍 don’t forget to get aquaphor for diaper changes too!!! Good for baby roll creases so they don’t get irritated ♥️
Thank you! I do need to grab that!
I'm new to your vlog. Congratulations and Oliver is loved alot. Hugs
So Amazing !
Cutest nursery ever!
Your already such an amazing mom!
Thank you ❤️
Everything turned out so great! I love seeing it all organized! I know that will help keep your mind at rest for when he gets here! I’m so happy for your little family! You are going to be a great mama! 💙
You can find those small drawer divider fabric bins at the dollar tree as well.
You definitely need a Boppy. Perfect for feeding & saving your arms when you are exhausted💙💙
First time mama myself, things i wish i had sooner I notice you didnt have! Baby powder, night gowns, Velcro swaddles, sound machine, gripe water for hiccups! hope this helps good luck mama
Fall cleaning my house. Organizing my closet.
A lot of people told me the same thing (that newborn goes by so fast) but I felt like my kids were in newborn clothes for a few months. I would get a lot more pajamas in newborn because I feel like I always ended up needing more. 😂 I agree that they seem to stay in 0-3 month clothes for a long time. 😁
Oliver’s nursery is set up perfectly Lauren. Looks like he has everything he needs. You did great with the organizing. I love those baskets in the top of his closet. All you need now is baby Oliver!!! Can’t wait to meet him soon!! 👶🏻 🍼
Thank you! 😊
Hey Lauren, I can’t wait to see sweet lil Oliver. He is such a blessed lil boy. Just FYI not sure if you eat this or not. But I saw on another KZheadr that she ate Anything But the Bagel seasoning during her pregnancy. And after she gave birth she tested positive for drugs. Her hospital got CPS involved thank God a nurse knew her and realized it was poppy seeds. But I just wanted to let you know. 🥰
Good to know! I love this seasoning!
My daughter was born 3 weeks early and was super tiny from the start. She is 5 months old and is still in 0-3 month clothes as well as 3 month and 3-6 month clothes. We used newborn clothes with her for a very long time, but that's only because she was tiny. It also depends on how long your baby is. 3-6 month clothes fit her nicely in length, because she is quite long, but it's so baggy on her in the waist.
I would switch the other side to onesies and sleepers, next to the diapers and wipes so when he has a blow out or pees every where you can grab some really easy !
Hi Lauren!! I'm so excited for you and Will!! Labor is very scary and exciting all at once. One thing I learned is use the time there at the hospital to relax and take it easy!! You need all the rest you can get!! Your sister is right!! I just had my last baby last December and i used 0-3 months a little longer than newborn. Seems like i used those newborn clothes maybe a month or less. The nursery is absolutely precious. Oliver is very blessed to have such a caring and loving mommy. Congrats on your little blessing. They make your life so much better.
Thank you so much! ❤️
@@laurenyarbrough6625 you are so welcome!! Can't wait to see baby Oliver. He is going to be just perfect!! I have watched every one of your videos and i absolutely love them. I'm getting things together now to make my tree look like yours. It's gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your ideas and skills.
@@deannalee7797 That’s so sweet! Thank you!! I am so excited for Christmas!!!!
@@laurenyarbrough6625 you're welcome!! I am too!! I keep watching your christmas videos!! Lol
@@deannalee7797 I appreciate it! 😍🥰❤️
Baby's room Is coming along nicely. You're doing a great job !! Hey where did u get your slippers from they are so cute! I love them !! 💗 I can't wait to see Baby Oliver...how exciting. God Bless you. ❤🙏❤🙏
Thank you! Target!
Hi, Lauren! As an RN L & D nurse and Lactation Consultant and also a twin mom, my no.1 recommendation is that you get a breastfeeding pillow called “Brest Friend”. It is quite superior to the boppy for helping with positioning for breastfeeding especially the first few weeks. Your Nursery turned out great! I know you don’t have a ton of room, but if your rocker doesn’t have a pullout ottoman, I recommend at least a stool or something you can put your feet up on. You’ll be so tired during the newborn period. As far as labor goes, you will do just fine. An epidural will make it easier for you, although natural labor is a great option, especially if you are progressing quickly. One more thing: they will want to give Oliver a Hepatitis B vaccine in the hospital. I would decline it until he is older. There is no risk to waiting, but baby boys especially are sensitive to this particular vaccine, and can develop problems from it. Mine did. Wishing you an easy, happy delivery and a blissful babymoon!!💙💙💙
Man I wish I was this organized when I had my babies 😂😂
Loved this video!! I would recommend a baby butt wand! It helps get the diaper rash cream on him without getting it all over your fingers and under your nails. I used it with both of my kids and it was a lifesaver! Also, if you are planning on circumcision (completely personal decision, just saying from experience) get a container of Vaseline. Also, a small basket of diapers and wipes that will travel throughout the house (master bedroom, living room, etc) for when you don’t want to go all the way to his room.
So my mistake was not buying enough newborn clothes 😆 Everyone tells you they aren’t in the clothes for long. True. But typically if you have an under 10 lb baby they’ll be in them for some extent of time! I had a 6lb 14 oz baby and had to go out and buy newborn sleepers haha. But if he’s measuring bigger what you have might be okay. My girls both fit into newborn for about 3 weeks, then 0-3 for about a month. By 2 months they started wearing 3/3-6 month clothes
You are going to be a wonderful mom! It is an exciting time for you and your husband! 👶 🎃
Cute blankets-use. them under the baby on the carpet , couch, chair or what ever you lay your baby down on for when you lay your baby down for tummy. time or on his back. There is always spit up and pooplosions that you don't want on your rug!
my second abs third babies both were born at 39 weeks and both were in preemie clothes for awhile. my son is a month old today and is still in newborn. They’re still big but preemie is too short for his legs now, lol.
Thanks so very much
Love your channel Lauren!! I am 23 pregnant with my second & due in February ♥️ One thing that no one told me was the water retention & swelling all over (legs, ankles, feet, hands, etc) AFTER labor & delivery. I was induced with my first born & it was through I.V (so induction medications + fluids) for the duration of my labor & delivery. I didn't even recognize myself afterwards!! But the nurses assured me that it would go away on it's own & it did. Although it took a good 2 - 3 weeks. Definitely would have been nice to know ahead of time because I actually thought something was wrong with me, but everything was all good! I wish you all the best!
This happened with my sister as well!! Thank you so much!!
My son loved and still loves his wubanubs! We had about 5 at one time, but we’ve slowly gone down to just 2 that are still intact 😂
