How long would you time contractions before going in. I've been having them 4-7mins apart since 11am it's now 1pm and they've been getting closer and more intense. (Yes I've drank water, walked, laid down, etc) going to try a shower and see if they stay.
@carterclaytonb, good luck, my fingers are crossed for you.
@brandidodge, I hope so! Headed in now. They're getting more intense. Every 3-5 mins. I'm scared tho. I don't want to get my hopes up.
@carterclaytonb, well I hope this means you will get to hold your little man soon.
Yea. Haha that was my plan! @brandidodge
@carterclaytonb, I would, cause if your admitted no more food, but you know that. lol.
I think I'm going to eat dinner and then go in.
@carterclaytonb, when I was having contractions naturally every 4 to 6 minutes at 28 weeks, it only felt like cramping, I didn't know I was having full strength contractions till I was in the hospital being monitored. I ohonestly thought it was just cramps. when I got induced I got my epidural when I started to get uncomfortable so I don't know how bad they got.
@brandidodge, every 2-5 mins. As of 30 mins ago. I would be going in right now but they're not like horrible like I'd expect them to be. Like a four on the pain scale.
@carterclaytonb, I hope this is it for you. keep timing them. good luck.
Maybe wait a few more hours, continue timing them and see what happens, maybe it's really time :)))))
And it starts low pain at the beginning and the contraction is like a wave a pain.
That's just about all I can do. It's like intense period cramping. This is my second baby but my first was induced. So I only know what horrible active labor feels like.
So it's been an hour since I showered and I'm still having contractions but now they're 7-10 mins apart. We'll see if they get close again. @anerruny12 @bellainmybelly @brandidodge
They won't keep me unless I'm 6cm and having them 3-5 mins apart. I'm going to shower and see if they stay consistent if they do I'll go in. Thanks ladies! @brandidodge @anerruny12
They say not to go in until you have them 4-3 mins apart and lasting one minute
At 4-7 min appart i was at 5 cm with Emma so but I think it depends on ur body so I would go in as fast as you can but with my Rubi she's 3 I went from 6 cm to 10 within 20 min
I'd go in if they have stayed that consistent that long.
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

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...
Thanks! 😁
