anyone else having their partner do perineal massages? I tell him to stretch me out because I don't want to tear. He pulls me open about 3 cm and I feel like it's so much further... it hurts and it's not nearly big enough for a baby's head! 2 weeks from now I'm gonna be in so much pain... am I crazy to do this without an epidural? I'm going to be at a birthcenter so they won't have any even if I beg for it at the last second.

@ligermama yes yes I agree, my midwives say the same! @aj1115 and you can start as early as you like but they recommend to begin at 35 weeks.
If you don't mind me asking how do you do those stretches ? & when is it okay to start
Although an episiotomy is a straight line, because the cut is unnatural it takes longer to heal. An episiotomy also can lead to significantly worse tearing (like 3rd degree tears). Natural tearing is way better! Although it all sucks!! :) Also, keep doing your stretches!! You can totally do this without tearing!!
Nooooo. tearing is much worse. It takes longer to heal and hurts worse (from what others say) At least a episiotomy is a straight line to sew up. A tear is not gonna be as easy to sew
@mommysbabiesalways I'd rather tear than get an episiotomy, yikes you're very brave
I had to get the episiotomy but the amount of pain I was in didn't compare to the cut the doctor had to make. it felt like a pinch, literally. I did so much stretching myself out and it didn't help me at all and I did it naturally
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My doctor also recommended me getting the flu shot while pregnant ? I'm not sure if I want to or if i should ? It's all scary to me !! What do you ladies think ? Did you get the flu shot while pregnant ? Are there any risks? Or should I wait ? I'm so scared of taking anything while pregnant , much less getting this shot.. He said it isn't mandatory , just recommended.
Racial nickname
I sometimes call my lo monkey. To me he looks like a little monkey. My so says it's racist and offensive. What do you think?
I hate water so so much, I'm having such a hard time drinking as much as possible 😥
I'm so confused if I am having a chemical pregnancy is there anything that I can do?
@aj1115 if you look it up it will show you a picture I'm not exactly sure how to explain it
