Am I the only person on this earth who doesn't understand how the hell to COUNT MY CONTRACTIONS?!
I asked several people, my OB and a nurse at the hospital a few weeks ago... can't explain it any further than, count how long apart between the pain coming, going and then coming back.
Ummmm. Okay well I have a fucking contraction, it goes away for a minute then it comes back? I know they aren't a minute apart! So where does that leave me?!!?
So fuckin irritated, my hospital is 40 minutes away and these bitches need to just become unbearable so I can make this trip already, cause I really can't count them 😤😤😤😤😣😣😣😣😣
Yeah its confusing to be too. I use a contraction counter app that counts the time. You just hit the button when one starts and hit it again when it stops and keep going. I think it's from the time of the first one until the start of the next one
you know! Haha I was just getting pissed off thinking about it
I don't understand that either . And I don't have time to be counting shit if I'm in any pain😩
that's what I was trying to do, but then it was like they were a minute apart, then would go away for 5-10 minutes, and then come back with the whole minute apart. more like a pinching throbbing.
ive always heard from the first to the beginning of the next then stop it and start it again. it makes no sense to me either thought lol
this is my first day that I've had actual contractions. the previous days have just been period cramp feels, but pretty bad. I woke up the morning like oh shit, that's pretty uncomfortable lol.
they're more painful tonight than this morning, but haven't been ALL day so idk
I use to count the time between the last pain ended until the time the next one starts hopefully that makes sense
everyone keeps telling me to make sure I just count them, so I'm sure and don't drive so far to just have to come back home. but, it doesn't make no kind of sense to me lol. I'm just waiting until I start crying I guess haha.
If you don't feel like there mins apart you should go , you have a long drive! I would go and tell them I'm freaking far I can't come when there a min apart lol
I also have no clue. it doesn't make sense to me either lol
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.
I've known many women who have never had steady contraction throughout labor and kept doubting themselves and delivered within an hour after arriving at the hospital. If the pain is steadily increasing and you can't talk through the contraction, I would go in. @tiffmama
