Anyone planning a waterbirth? :) I am and I'm so excited even though it's so far away.
Haha hey! If wacko works then it works. I'd like to learn it too. I'm hoping my midwives can show me all kinds of things.
@srkr1191, right? I'm going to be looking into hypnobirth classes too. Everyone thinks I'm wacko but I've seen how well this stuff works.
Absolutely. Watch some YouTube videos on water births. So relaxing. I feel like the Mothers are so focused and prepared that all they care about is that the baby will be there soon and they're on it lol. I hated not being able to walk after my Daughter was born with the epidural. An I'm paying for it now. 😭
@srkr1191, The birthing suite I visited had a huge bath and a big bed so whatever happens haha. I've just read so much about the benefits of using it as pain relief.
I'm planning one even though I'm early. My doctor with my first was terrible. He gave almost every patient episiotomies just to get in and out. I hadn't even been pushing 13 minutes and he cut me. I want to try a natural water birth. I heard apart from calming you and the pain, it helps reduce risk of tearing. I'm thankful my new obg has midwives and a birthing center at the hospital. You can have the bed too incase you decide to get out of the water.
we had planned a water birth but unfortunately my fiancé was only home for a little bit of time so I had to be induced at 40 weeks and ended up with a c-section
Most hospitals don't some of the birthing centers attached to hospitals do though.
I've always wanted a water birth but I don't think my Dr does it and idk who does here.
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...
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.
most definitely :) and Congrats!
