Back pain is through the roof, on nearly the 17th hour of induction and I'm starting to worry. My husband is asleep and I'm really kind of losing my resolve. So I need advice. Should I get a little morphine to help with my pain and try to sleep, or should I tough it out until I actually dilate past 1cm? I don't want my labor to slow but I could still dilate, right? They can give me pitocin as soon as I'm 2cm! I was just barely more than 1 an hour ago... Help? 😷😷😷
@gingyrex, yeah I mean mine as well be decently comfortable. Esp since that many doses of the pill hasn't done much. I know when my mom finally got medicine she dilated hella quick cause she could finally relax.
@mommytoabel, @ashalay88 @candacelouise I asked for the lightest dose, 2mg and already I feel better! Nurse is making up a heatpad. I may sleep yet! :)
GET THE MORPHINE. I shouldn't have waited so long to get mine.
@ashalay88, @candacelouise Four doses of the vaginal pill and I've dilated less than half a cm since 830am! I think I'm going to ask for a light dose... maybe I'll dilate while I sleep? That would be nice.
@gingyrex, I would if I were you! But I don't think it's worth being in that much pain. Plus you need some sleep. And a lot of times once you relax the process goes faster cause your body is calm and finally does what it needs to!
Im surprised you haven't dilated at all. Is the pain really that unbearable already that you can't rest at all? If so, if I were you, id take something and get the sleep. Sounds like you're really going to need it.
I honestly don't even know I just remember falling asleep within seconds I was so out of it. I stood at a 1 for a whole day and then they put the pill in me and then started pitocin and then inserted a balloon in me 😫 and then after so many hours later they checked me and I wad at a 5... I went from a 5 to a 10 in like 10 hours honestly it was such a long process but so totally worth it
@janetteeeee, was it morphine though? Or did they give you ambien or something else?
I was in your situation last week 48 hours of labor and induction 😫 they slipped me meds to help calm me it took me what seemed like forever to dilate
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.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
@gingyrex, YAYAYAY! Good luck girl. Get some sleep and when you wake up maybe it'll be time to push! Lol
