Re: to Shiloh - Pregnancy after jaw surgery

[Guest guest]

A year's maternity leave?! Maybe I need to move to Canada ;-)

It looks like there are quite a few who want to or are trying to get

pregnant soon. I'm not ready yet but ever since our friends got

pregnant my husband wants another baby. It's easy for him to say. If

he were the one to get pregnant and deliver the baby, I'd be all for

it. Wouldn't that be nice? We'll see how this last surgery goes,

then maybe. After eight surgeries (5 jaw, 2 c-sections and one

gallbladder) in four years, I'm ready to call it quits. I loved

being pregnant but I didn't enjoy the delivery or recovery.

Have fun working on #3!

Yeah its pretty cool we get a year paid and then can take I think a

year or more depending on your job/employer unpaid.

-hey when did you get the gallbladdder one? after the surgery?

I only ask as I had elevated liver enzymes - but no stones.

Oh number three is a year off for me, got surg 3 and then want

septum fixed, to loose the weight I gathered along the way too. Oh

and find a job so I can work 6 months to get the paid mat leave

Shiloh,

Take it from someone with 3 kiddos... you'll never be sorry, but

you'll never be the same either. Remember how much work it seemed

like going from 0 to 1, or 1 to 2? Well, it's exponential. 3 is

tougher, but now that all mine are older, it is great. The only

thing is when you have the third you switch from a man to man to a

zone defense. And, they always swamp the zone!

Only real drawback to 3 is that nothing is set up for families of 5.

Everything is for 2,4, or 10...

I've heard that before, too - the zone defense. And my husband wants

a third daughter - the teenage years should be a lot of fun! We've

already got the dreaded minivan so at least we're set up for that.

I had the gallbladder surgery when I was 23 weeks pregnant. My

morning sickness never went away and I kept losing weight so my OB

did an ultrasound and sure enough, my gallbladder was full of

stones. I felt much better afterwards and even woke up hungry after

the surgery. Not that I recommend it, but it was a really easy

surgery. I felt completely recovered 3 days later.

I wish I could get a year of mat leave but at least my husband stays

home with the girls so they don't have to go into daycare. He even

has a name picked out already for our third daughter!

Maybe its funny but I have always thought that two kids was less

work than one, as they play with eachother - sure you break up more

fights and I also have mine well spaced!

Shiloh

LOL so true about the man to man to zone defense!

Still upset over the tarheels this march...boo hoo.

You really think things are built for families of 10 ?

I think we are now a 2 kid only family society.

But I think we'll end up with four....however hopefully none of them

need braces...okay one already does but.....I am sure she'll be on

here once I graduate!

Okay you are my hero now! People thought I was superwoman for 2

months postpartum. Gallbladder at 23 weeks pregnant - wow!

I wish I could get a year of mat leave but at least my husband stays

home with the girls so they don't have to go into daycare. He even

has a name picked out already for our third daughter!

=wow, I wish I could have gotten a man like that! However in most

circumstances the one with the highest paying job wins! Oh yeah and

I am better at it than him, he still heaves doing diapers! The baby

has the stomach flu so I've allowed him to sleep in the other room

as I don't need the dh puking too!
