I highly recommend the documentary "The Business of Being Born". It really helped me make informed decisions about my pregnancy and birth. There were a lot of things about induction and other hospital interventions that I did not know and I'm glad I went in armed with the information to protect myself and my son :)
My husband takes his cousin girlfriend to work. Should I be worried about the FEMALE coming on to my husband?
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer. My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk outside without this information. Children of color are being targeted and killed too. It’s not just adults. I let my son know we treat everyone equally and with respect. I let him know that we love everyone for their differences. In every aspect. Color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference we love everyone.
But I complain about my weight! 🤦🏻😅
Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

I watched that movie at about 5mo pregnant and wound up being able to have the natural birth like I wanted :) Definitely gave me the courage to do it!
