I'm due in January and I'm really set on a natural birth. I just not sure what all I should to prepare myself, I've done my reading and what not but still would like to know heat from other moms about your experience. By the way I'm FTM.
I was super afraid of going all natural as well. The breathing exercises and yoga helped a lot with my fiancé getting involved in the process as well. I only had a 6 hour labor and I spent a lot of it at home. when I went in, I was dilated at 8cm and had my baby girl within the hour. I thought I was going to have a horrific labor and it was all in my head. I was completely unable to have any kind of epidural or spinal tab. I also didn't want to have iv pain medication because it's bad for the baby. anyway, if you convince your significant other to take some prenatal yoga with you and some Bradley method class (usually offered by the hospital)
@ash2014c, I've looking into that and I think I can do it. My mom is really helping but my husband is freaking out lol. So I'm trying to find things to him to lol
I'm planning on going natural and using hypnobirthing. If you're cool with altered states of consciousness you should be ok... Lol. That's what a friend of mine who has had multiple natural births told me. And don't be afraid :)
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...
Ok I'm 15 And Pregnant And I Don't Know What To Do. I'm Just A Freshman In High School.
So I have question I'm 23 weeks and I thought a 9 lbs weight gain was good but now I'm re thinking it what is normal at this stage is it to much I'm stressing out I am really watching what I eat and I really don't over eat sad mommy here 😔

This was an ad on Facebook. Seeing what a lot of people were saying in the comments I was wondering...do you think this is age appropriate? I'm just curious what the R&R ladies think.
So my water just broke and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and I'm home alone
My labor was 36 hrs did it all natural stayed home till i knew it was time 90 mins before i gave birth. I went from my tub to my toilet to my bed to nap. It wasn't that bad but not sure I could have done it that natural in the hospital.
