Got a question for second time mommies...I'm due July 23rd but my doctor might be outta town around that time frame he asked me if I wanted to be induced but I would REALLY like to wait for her to come in her own but I REALLY want my doc to be there when it is time, so I guess my question is if I choose to induce how soon or early can I do it ?? My fiance wants her to be induced on July 4th but I feel that's 2 weeks she can still be incubating.
Technically a full term baby is 37 weeks but personally I would want baby to grow as much as he/she can. They gain about a pound a week in the last weeks, so that will make a significant difference if baby got here 2 or even 3 weeks earlier than if baby came naturally. Also to consider, there is a greater chance of a c-section if baby is induced. If you really want your doctor to be there, I would say to go for the induction. I don't know how it works where you are, but where I am, the doctor that delivers your baby is the doctor on call. So if your baby did come naturally, there's a chance your doctor may not even be the one to deliver.. Like I said, this is how it is where I live, not sure if your hospital is the same.
The doctor is only there for a split second. The longer the baby is in, the better!(:
My honest opinion would be to not induce. In my experience, the doctor is only in the room for a few minutes while you're giving birth. Your key people are the nurses. I'd let my baby cook as log as possible rather than inducing just so my doctor can be there.
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.
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
I was induced at 39.5 and he stayed 2 days. I had another naturally at 37.1 and stayed 2 days (one was 5 lbs 10 oz and the other was 6 lbs 4 oz). I had one naturally at 39.5 and we stayed one day and he was 6 lbs. 6 oz. I think 38 weeks induction is perfectly fine if it's important to you to have your doctor there. Although with my first, my doctor wasn't there and I ended up liking the doctor I got better and switched afterwards to her practice LOL!
