Well, I may be having a baby soon, so I would appreciate any good thoughts you can send my way!
I went in for a regular appointment yesterday, and apparently I had been having contractions for awhile without even noticing. My midwife watched it happen as she was about to measure me, and told me that's what it was. She said if I have 6-8 in an hour then to go into the hospital, and I got up to 5 in 40 minutes this morning before they subsided!
I have been told by literally EVERYONE I've spoken to that I would know when I was having a contraction, because it would stop me in my tracks and be so incredibly painful. But I haven't felt anything at all! Like, I didn't even notice them unless I held my hand on my stomach. They have gotten a little stronger though and now I can feel my stomach tightening without my hand being there. My midwife told yesterday that sometimes women don't feel anything when they go into preterm labor, and that's apart of what makes it so dangerous.
So 😳 Wish me luck! I guess I'll be washing Emberlyn's clothes and packing the hospital bag today!
Have you been drinking plenty of water? Sometimes that can cause A LOT of contractions. Also, I went to the hospital the other day because I was having contractions every 5 minutes and I found out I had an UTI
@augustbaby2016400, @babyelkins2016 that does make me feel better! I'm not stressing about it, because whatever happens happens, and if I do have her early, at least I'm in my third trimester now. But I do hope it's just a false alarm and she stays in there for at least another six weeks lol
I went into preterm labor at 29 weeks and have had contractions ever since. I'm 39 weeks today and she ain't comin yet lol some women just have contractions regularly till there baby comes
I had contractions for weeks before I actually had my baby so good luck
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.

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Yep, I'm drinking tons of water. And they said my urine came back negative for everything. @tashatini
