Hello mommies!! So i am a FTM last week I was 50% effaced and 1 cm dilated. As of today I'm still 1cm and my dr didn't tell me if I thinned anymore. I got my membranes stripped today. Has getting your membranes stripped helped any of you getting your labor started?
@abelsmom, girl my grandma from my dads side told me to drink Te de Comino which is cumin seed tea I drank that before my walk and it helped too it out me in labor for sure
I've actually never heard of any teas besides the raspberry leaf tea. I'm surprised my boyfriends momma hasn't told be about these Mexican teas lol @mommy431
Walk a lot that's what I did and hot baths. Do you believe in Mexican Teas?
Oh my goodness that's crazy!!! I hope I'm as lucky as you were!! @mommy431
@abelsmom, yes it worked for me. My midwife did a very good job I couldn't even walk and I cried lol but I went into labor later that night. I saw her around 4:45 on walked around my neighborhood and up hills I was contracting the whole time. Came home took a hot shower then around 1 am took another shower I was full blown active labor by 3am I arrived at the hospital had my son at 3:24am
Thanks! Me too. I don't have another appointment until the 7th which is after my due date so that sucks. Lol hoping you make some progress too!
I hope you progress more girl!! I'm hoping I do. I'm getting so uncomfortable lol @carterclaytonb
I was 2cm and more than 75% on Monday Got mine done then, and had sex last night and lost my mucus plug but I'm still pregnant. Lol Works for some not for others. It's more effective the more dilated you are.
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.
