I am a mom with an incompetent cervix, irritable uterus, and during my pregnancies was diagnosed with preeclampsia. I was never induced, but this is my son Maveric.. He is one of my four preemies. Born at 33 weeks in NICU for over a month, on oxygen over a year. He has had to have many surgeries in his first short two years of live to correct issues caused by prematurity (Inguinal hernia repair, damaged lung removal/repair and lung disease due to the ventilator in NICU, mal rotation repair, juvenile xanthogranuloma tumor removal, adenoidectomy). name a few. Currently in several therapies including early childhood development, speech, and physical therapy because of being delayed. Seeing many specialists at children's hospital who are working with us on getting him healthy. A lot of people think 33 weeks isn't "that bad", but premature is premature and every baby is different! Please don't try to self induce.. Don't take for granted the blessing of going full term. I'd kill to go full term just once. #earlyterm #preemiemommies

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
