Do any of y'all ever get really bad thoughts about everything going on? I am in one of those moods right now and it's scaring me. I'm afraid of giving birth, of the epidural, of going into labor, everything! But a couple days ago and even this morning I was excited about the thought. Help! Why is this happening?! I'm going to give myself a damn anxiety attack
@tmariewein, lol, no way!? That is hilarious.. What middle name did yall pick!? Yeahhhh I was/am a stubborn patient and am strictly a "Kirkham" (my doctor) only. I haven't seen any of the other doctors in with him 🙈. So I pray I make it till he gets back! But that's really good for you... So each doctor knows you and you don't have to worry who is in call, since you've seen them all and like them! That's way less nerve wracking. You'll be in good hands no matter what!
And I think birth plans are a waste! The way i see it, Nothing ever goes the way you want it to during delivery so why would I stress myself out? Haha I'm already stressing enough worrying about this damn epidural! 😂😂
@candacelouise, girl are you sure we can't read each others minds? We decided to name our son Graysen!! Haha that is such a coincidence! And yeah im not sure who will deliver G at my hospital which is nerve wracking. There are 5 OB's in the practice, all of which I have seen and it just depends who is on call that night. That's who Will be bringing our boy into the world! Which is kind of scary but luckily I've gotten to know each one and really enjoy every one of them
@tmariewein, lol really!? You're literally the only one who says the same thing! Everyone else freaks like what?! You dont have a birth plan, I say yes it's called.. Giving birth. Haha. My nurse actually told me that 80% of c sections happen because moms try to plan it and they stress too much wanting it to go "their way" causing the baby to stress and end up having to get the baby out fast. I am 37 weeks 2 days! So I have a little bit. Mainly my doctor decided to go on vacation 😡 from this past Wednesday till may 9. And I don't want any other doctor delivering my baby.
@candacelouise, holy shit girl you and me have the same brain! I literally haven't gone to a single class, and have no birth plan besides pain free and a healthy baby 😂😂 great minds think alike I guess!! How far along are you? Im 38 weeks 1 day, so it's just a ticking time bomb for me
@tmariewein, Yess, pray it does! And if not there is always a spinal tap. Yes I am too! Haven't done any birthing classes either. Kinda wanna go in blind sided so I don't stress. I also don't have a birth plan besides getting baby out healthy and a healthy me! And pain free as much as possible. Lol!
@candacelouise, hopefully our bodies take to the epidural well! Fingers crossed girl! Is this your first? Im a ftm which is probably why I'm so nervous
@tmariewein, ahh my friend had one that failed too! I don't think it's the anesthesiologist I think sometimes your body just rejects them. BUT, I pray that doesn't happen. And plus you have so much adrenal running through your body that you usually don't feel as much pain as you're having! (Hopefully) lol.
@candacelouise, exactly! Plus my sister had THREEE failed epidurals which makes me want to scream. Luckily she didn't deliver at the hospital I'm delivering at so maybe it was a bad anesthesiologist but still! Honestly I think I'll survive as long as that epidural works
@tmariewein, yes!!! My thoughts exactly. Like can I just get it over with. Can I experience the pain and deliever now but wait two weeks till he is here. Lol does it not work like that!? #iwish
@candacelouise, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Sometimes I feel really self conscious about it and think, "what if I can't do it?" And I get super duper scared. I just want to fast forward through L&D and have him here
@tmariewein, I'm the same way! One day I'll be all ready and the next I'll be so scared.
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. ?
We picked Daniel as his middle name, after his daddy 😊 when does your doctor get back? And yeah I really enjoy every one of them besides the nurse on call but I don't thinks she goes to the hospital, I think she stays in office. Thanks girl! I really hope your doc gets back in time and I'm sure He will!!
