so I'm going to be induced and I'm so scared of the cramping I hear about before real labor starts. any mom's have experience?
ah! okay, hopefully I can rest through the beginning cramps
I was induced. it wasn't bad until they forced me open to 4cm. then pain set in and I got the epidural. the cramping was just a little bit more painful then period cramps. but don't worry you'll be fine:)
Don't be nervous! The cramps in the beginning are more uncomfortable that painful
But my main advice is to just rest while you can ... Even when you aren't tired and you're just waiting for the contractions to start and get stronger. Being well rested helps a ton
ah! I'm so nervous. that's what everyone keeps saying they are more intense.
I also developed an infection during labor so that made it harder as well.. I was shaking and sick from it and the meds
I was induced Thursday.. The contractions are stronger than natural labor for sure .... I kept telling the doctors I couldn't take it anymore and that I wanted them to take him out via csection, but I guarantee even when you think you can't do it anymore that you can.. And it will all be worth it !
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...
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 went into labor on my own but they still ended up giving me pitocin to get my contractions closer together. I made it all the way up to 7cm before I asked for pain meds. The beginning contractions are a bit more painful than my period cramps, but after 7cm I just couldn't take it. I needed to relax a little. The pain meds only dull the cramps down a few notches.
