Okay ladies, I have another "eye roller" of a question so try and bare with me. I know it's probably super ridiculous, but I'm just curious. So my first pregnancy I was induced, my second, they stripped my membranes and I went into labor later on that night. Well both times my doctor had to break my water. So I guess my question is this: is your water breaking a completely random thing or is there something you can do closer to your due date to encourage it to break itself? I would like to experience it this time if at ALL possible. TIA 😊
I think after an hour I had to get meds because I wasn't dilating. Birth is so crazy lol @mommyagain
@london1010, it aaaaall came out by the time I went to the hospital they had to put some water substitute in there until she was born
I had lots of sex, did lots of walking, and squats. Lol I guess it is completely random. I think the statistic is like only 10% of womens water breaks naturally. I just really wanna experience it. So here's to hoping!! Lol.
I actually thought I peed myself so I took a shower and ate breakfast before I realized it was still little gushes here and there 😂 @mommyagain
Well I was 100% effaced with both boys like 37 weeks and did deliver till week 39 but I figured that's the closest you'd get to having it break naturally. Lol so I was just curious.
Completely random. I was laying in bed when mine broke lol
just a random thing. my first had to be broken and my second I thought would be broken but it happened on its own. it feels so different when it happens on its own than when its done by the doctor.
I was induced with my first and had a c section with my second, but I'm guessing there isn't anything you can do to help break your water? You can have sex and if your husband cums it could ripen your cervix a bit just like the pill they use during the induction process, buuuut seeing as I've never been in natural labor I wouldn't know the answer to your question either. Lol.
I'm curious to this as well. the doctors broke my water the first time and I was induced with my second so I'm anxious to know if my water will break on its own as well.
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. ?
@london1010, Yeah it really is!
