My due date is sept 17th but since I have gestational diabetes my dr wants to induce me on sept 12. I've heard mixed things about induction. Is it painful? What are the pros and cons?
I'm due 9/18 and have gestational diabetes as well. My doc said as long as my sugars are under control that she'll let me go into labor naturally, even if I go past my due date. I am looking forward to a medication-free birth and she is on my side for that. I hope your labor and delivery go well!
I was induced at 41 weeks. my cervix was closed completely and baby was high. I was having contractions on my own, but nothing was happening. I was given cervidil. a little pill, smaller than rice inserted next to my cervix. I had 3 doses until I opened to 3 cm. after that I was given pitocin 😭. the pain is intensified and contractions are more consistent. Dr ruptured my water at 6 cm. things moved real fast, but the pain was worse than natural labor. I opted out for pain meds. after 16 hours of labor I had baby.
i wasnt induced but when they broke my water when i was in labor i thought it actually felt good alot of pressure released.
the only part I didn't like was them breaking my water that part was slightly painful for me
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.
Mines went exactly like @jacey3 I wasn't open or anything. They induced me because my amniotic fluid was low..the pill they inserted in me took forever to work for me...then they broke my water (kinda hurt) I got the epidural..I was in labor for almost 2 days
