buddabing April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 From Derick's IG 12 hours ago. Her eyes show how tired she is. Those are really dark circles on her eyes. Iz looks content....maybe just finished a feeding. Looks like she will be getting sick soon, if she keeps up with this. It would make more sense if she was out and about maybe after her second baby, because you don't have as much of a choice. I think it's crazy to be out when you are still dealing with your c-section healing. This month is for staying home and making a few trips to the store when needed, not extensive travel. She does have to feed him, but with all this extra help if she was home, she could take a lot of naps! Go take a nap girl! 1 Link to comment

HumblePi April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 "I had been praying for contractions and when contractions did start, God made me grateful for those contractions," she says. "When they came, even though they were really intense, I was crying, but I was saying, 'Thank you for this contraction God, this is what I prayed for, thank you for this.'" Derick, had his own method for keeping his new wife calm. "I would say, 'Think about being on the beach on our honeymoon, just think about this one contraction, don't think about the future ones,'" he remembers. "I would tell her not to think about the pain right now." Here's what my concerns are regarding Jill's labor and delivery as far as Israel's birth and any future pregnancies. . Jill's water broke early on a Saturday morning, April 4th. She delivered Israel in a hospital on April 7th, after 70 hours of hard labor. They showed on the preview of the upcoming episode of the birth that they were all set up for a home delivery and had a portable inflatable bathtub set up in the living room. It usually takes from 12 hours up to 24 hours after a woman's water breaks for a baby to deliver. Any longer and there's a danger to both mother and infant. There may be fetal heart changes and a larger risk of infection. What I'm wondering is how long did Jill, Michelle and Jana wait (Derick doesn't count, he's clueless) before they decided 'let's get to a hospital and screw this home delivery bullshit'? I know they didn't go immediately because they had no way to know the baby was breach. Their reluctance to get to a hospital might have resulted in a very sad ending to this baby. That's a concern about home births. The other thing I'm wondering about is future pregnancies. Every two minutes a woman dies from complications of childbirth, but that's only in third-world countries, right? Wrong. 800 women die each day unnecessarily from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. There will be some controversy over whether or not Jill will ever be able to deliver other children vaginally. Some hospitals will not risk attempting a vaginal birth after a woman has had a previous delivery via caesarean section. The risk and liability is too great for both the hospital and the infant and mother. We aren't given the details, but if Jill suffered a torn uterus, she will more than likely have to deliver subsequent children via C-section. So, how many children will they have in the future? Nobody knows. But, will their religious cult allow her to use birth control or maybe let Derick have a vasectomy? It won't be long before Jill and Derick face these choices. 4 Link to comment

Kiss my mutt April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 I'm all for sling wearing but wouldn't that be painful with a csection incision? Plus he's so heavy I would think it would pull on the tissue trying to heal. 2 Link to comment
anony mouse April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 I'm not exactly a fashion icon myself. Her outfit looks normal to me. She doesn't look stylish or well put together, but that clothing is very typical of what I see on people who don't care too much about clothes. I have a coworker who wears nicer tops than that, but otherwise a maxi skirt with nearly those exact shoes (Keens or Chacos?) every day. And more to the point - she just had a baby and major abdominal surgery. She can wear whatever she darn well pleases after that. No criticism from me if she looks "frumpy." I don't expect ANY new mom to bounce back asap. 13 Link to comment
Emme April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 OK. I just want to put my snark aside for a minute here and say how much I miss when my kids were that tiny and snuggled up to me. I hope Jill is savoring it. 13 Link to comment
HumblePi April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 What do people think of this slight forum name change to get Baby Izzy in on the action: The DillardZ: Jerick, Dill and Iz I think we might get carried away with the funny nicknames and it sometimes makes it difficult to find exactly what particular names we're interested in reading about. Maybe it's best to leave their names as they are Derick, Jill and Israel. Maybe others feel differently and like the more amusing nicknames so it doesn't matter to me, I'm just giving my opinion. 1 Link to comment
Absolom April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 I want to know why they bothered setting up and filling the birthing pool. One of the first rules when the water breaks is no getting in tubs or pools. Doing so greatly increases the chances of infection. I'd like to read the midwife training manuals Jill had and to hear recordings of the mentoring that Miss Venessa gave her trainees. It sounds like a lot of things were missed, given out incorrectly, or Jill was a very poor student. 5 Link to comment

Dr.Scully April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Ugh - Jill stop saying "we" for everything! It's bad enough people say, "We're pregnant!" You most definitely can not say "We've been in labor..." Derick was not, and will never be, in labor and does not deserve credit for it. Jill Duggar - so brainwashed to believe that she is nothing but an extension of her husband that she can't even own her own labor. It's really just sad. 9 Link to comment
Absolom April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 The hospitals I've seen with birthing pools won't allow anyone in whose water has broken. When my water broke the first thing the OB said after asking me if I'd be more comfortable at home than the hospital was absolutely no getting in any tub or pool of water. Some midwives seem more lax about that and Jill obviously was looking at it very laxly since she had no idea how long her labor would be. I don't remember if they announced when Anna's water broke, but she was obviously making good progress and was only at the midwife's a couple hours (?) before the baby was born. She was much less likely to get an infection. But the risk of infection is among the reasons some midwives won't perform water births. I just saw it as one more thing that Jill did that didn't follow current medical advice and procedure and made me concerned about her lack of common sense and quality of her training. 6 Link to comment

But no way was Me-chelle there. Me-chelle doesn't help anyone except Me-chelle. Maybe a 15-minute drop-in visit. Maybe. On her way to or from Starbucks. After all, anyone is capable of helping Jill. But HER time is really valuable. She's needed for all that critical scheduling back at the TTH. 5 Link to comment

Thanks for saying what I was thinking when I said it shows Jill in a bad light, i.e. her water breaks and she goes hiking, etc. Seems like they waited way too long to get to the hospital when she was clearly in distress. We'll see and analyze after we see the whole epi as always. lol 1 Link to comment

3girlsforus April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Anna's new midwives do not permit water births. They will do water labor but unless you progress in a flash and the baby starts coming out (this does happen - not to me though LOL) they want you out before the delivery. The primary reason is the potential problems with the actual delivery (uncontrolled tears of the perineum, difficulty for the midwife to see the baby position and help things like shoulder dystocia etc. Link to comment
JenCarroll April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 From Derick's IG 12 hours ago. Her eyes show how tired she is. Those are really dark circles on her eyes. Iz looks content....maybe just finished a feeding. My god that baby is enormous! A hard fact of life as a "celebrity" in the Internet Age is that you're never allowed to go out in public looking like a schlump again. Someone will see you and snap you, and you'll be lambasted by thousands (or if you're REALLY famous, millions). I would hate it, and I'm not going to criticize how she's dressed. But come on, Jill, you just had a 10 lb parasite cut out of your body. You don't have to make public appearances right now. Take a rest, please. ps -- Is it normal for her to be in that much pain, for this long? 4 Link to comment
Fuzzysox April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Kimora Lee Sommons just had an 11 lb baby naturally with no pain meds she claims.

Vaysh April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 "I had been praying for contractions and when contractions did start, God made me grateful for those contractions," she says. "When they came, even though they were really intense, I was crying, but I was saying, 'Thank you for this contraction God, this is what I prayed for, thank you for this.'" I find her wording here strange. "God made me grateful for those contractions". Do they actually attribute every emotion, feeling or reaction to God? Like, they basically see themselves as puppets of a divine being rather than individuals with a free will, who owns their emotions? And if her God was the one who gave her the contractions (you know, instead of... nature?), couldn't he have been a little more prompt and possibly have spared her the c-section she so clearly desperately didn't want? I have to admit that certain kinds of religious thinking truly baffles me at times. 15 Link to comment

cereality April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Meanwhile Princess Kate is saying Jill Who has advice? Who the heck is that?! She looks rough in the pictures outside church, but honestly I don't feel bad for her. You had major abdominal surgery like 3 weeks ago. I'm sure when you're discharged, they tell you what you should/should not be doing. I'm fairly certain that does not include driving 5+ hours to some convention 1 week after the birth and walking around and toting your 15 pounder in a sling. I'm also certain it doesn't involve going to church and wherever else as soon as you return. Of course she looked like she was cramping and in pain outside church and needed Derick to bring the car to her. Isn't she supposedly a midwife?? Does she not do discharge instructions for her own patients. Is this her definition of taking it easy? I'm still not clear about why she's doing it. They are famewhores and probably don't want to fall out of the limelight by saying -- sorry we're taking 4 weeks to ourselves and won't be going anywhere or doing People interviews; after all then the attention will be gone as they'll start focusing on Jessa's pregnancy or Josiah's courtship. But these days, you can stay home and still make yourself "relevant" by putting up IG pics daily. Does she have some misguided notion that despite what doctors or midwives say, Duggar women are able to squat down and give birth and a few hours later be back to normal?? 11 Link to comment

Everything you said was just common sense, of course you and your dull family wouldn't know common sense if it smacked you in the head.
