Labor Story: A week PP.
I went in to be induced last Sunday 11/08 @ 7:30p. Started the cervidil to thin my cervix. Wasn't to bad. Went thru the night with no pain, very few contractions. So at 6:00a they pulled the cervidil out, THAT HURT. Like paper cuts in my whoha and started the pitocin. @ around 7:45 I was only dilated to a 2, and contractions started coming in, but I wasn't feeling them lol So my OB came in and broke my water. @ around 3:45p got to a 4 only 80% thinned and opted for the epidural bc they were saying I was moving to slow and baby wasn't even dropping, and it would be better for us both for me to relax. Well I had an adverse reaction to it and my bp dropped twice. Got that figured out. @4:20p they came in to check me and move the monitors around bc they were losing baby's ♡beat. They inserted the monitor that went beside her head, couldn't get anything steady, so they put the one inside on her head. When that wasn't picking up the room got packed with nurses. They flipped me, pushed on her to get her to move, within two minutes I was being rolled back to have an emergency c section bc her ♡beat was gone. I was so scared. I was in the OR and bc I had just got the epidural they started right away, like as they were strapping me down they were already cutting me open. When they got to her shoulders I felt it a lil more than I could handle and they put me under. From losing her ♡beat til the time she arrived was 13 minutes. My baby girl Carlie Jane was born @4:37p Monday 11/09 weighing 8lbs 2oz 20 ins long. She had to stay in the NICU the whole time bc she came out not wanting to breathe on her own. That cleared up the next day, but she was jaundice. She was there 5 days and I 4, but I got to stay there with her(Thank God). Now we are both home! I'm recovering very well. I haven't had any complications. Breastfeeding is a lil bit of a struggle bc she was given a paci and bottle in the NICU bc I was out so long after, and got sick from all the anesthesia the night she was born. But we are working on it and supplementing formula to top her off. Had her 1 week appointment today, she's perfect! #laborstory
1) this pic is gorgeous! 2) you are very strong and brave. Done beat yourself up about struggling with motherhood. We ALL do at some point. 3) your baby is absolutely beautiful! Congrats. How are things going now that she's a little older? My baby is almost 3 months and sleeping is getting better at night.

Congratulations! I'm so happy you both had a good recovery & are home together.
OMG thank God you guys are okay congrats she's perfect! Did they take this picture at the hospital?
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...
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
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.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
@mommyslittleman, thank you! things are actually better, her Colic has settled down and she's sleeping thru the night 9x out of 10!
