Labor Story: I was scheduled to be induced at 5am on 1/15/2015. We came in, they tried to get an iv 4 times before successfully getting one, so bad start. They started giving me antibiotic at 6am and then started pitocin at 9:30am and was checked and was a 4 cm and 60%. Contractions came every 2 minutes and lasting a minute, checked at 11:30am and was only a 4 1/2 cm and 80%. Contractions still were coming the same and we continued to wait. It was long and I hurt a lot. We checked at 2pm and I still made no progress, I thought this was going to be a breeze, 5th child & previous pregnancies I had went all natural and quick. We decided to finally do an iv pain med so I could rest. Let me say that first dose lasted an hour and I was in heaven. We checked again at 330 and
I still hadn't made progress so I broke down and decided on an epidural. Worst mistake ever, he numbed me & when he went to do the needle he hit a nerve that shot down pain in my leg, twice. That option was out, in was forced to finish without meds. They broke my water at 5:30pm & a long hard hour of more labor and finally my 8 on 2 oz (biggest baby I've had) came. Sorry so long!
they should have broke your water before the pit drip! that would have helped a lot! so sorry for the terrible labor but your bundle is adorable, congrats mama! get some rest.
Congrats! Although hard you did it and you should be proud :) I'm scheduled to be induced Monday.
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.
