my aaliyah grace was born on the 30th she was 6 lbs 2 ozs I had her naturally it was 20mins n her head was out before anyone knew ..when u no u have to push do it. my contractions lasted from early morning to 6pm n I was induced with oxytocin which was painful but getting a epidural was the best idea to choose. they just took forever n finally showed when I was 6 almost 7 cms dilated..I got snitches..n my pelvis has has shrunken since then still have blood clots but nothing that painful n just now feeling the back pain...let your babies sleep 3 hrs if there asleep ...I kno its hard but your child's with u forever n your needs matter too. happy mommy happy baby. love yourself to love your little creation. dont let anyone tell u how there parenting skills worked for them its different for each child..
thats true what you feel is the urge to poop n thats just the bby I didnt poop at all. he had to slice me though but when I came back home to check the progress besides blood leaking for awhile it didnt seem that bad I was tight but she was small so she just slipped out..it happens so fast ny eyes were closed the whole labor time because I was doing a mind over matter thing so yes the contractions themselfvss hurt after 5 cms n u dont feel anything if u decide a epidural n your one to be clean of drug use..its cold liquid in ur spine n it puffs up your legs though so your not feeling anything from spine to lower body n ur shaking the entire time..the daddy thought it was so quick n a unforgettable experience for him.
I heard if you have epidural, u can't feel when to push?

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Congrats!! When you have an epidural it's not considered a natural birth it's just a vaginal birth. A natural birth is with no drugs whatsoever.. I got the epidural with my first and it was the best thing ever... it's true you only get the urge to poop... this time around I went natural with no drugs at all and boy is there a huge difference!!? @baarky
