**Advice & no judgement please**
So I'm 31 weeks pregnant 4cm dilated, contractions are not close enough but strong when I get them. My doctor has gave me the steroids for lungs already he says he won't put me on mag because it hasn't worked previously and my last 2 boys were delivered at 32 weeks. I am so miserable he told me to walk and just wait. Can I take a tiny bit of castor oil ???? Or something oh and sex is out of the question..... I'm dying of pain and tired of taking Tylenol..
@nikkimolano1, I wouldn't try squats I did that a few days ago and was so sore for about 4days could hardly walk.
Yeah I am currently trying squats but idk the ball seems better
Maybe try an exercise ball and bounce away. That's been known to help women dilate
I will going to take a nice walk even though I bend over every 3 minutes since the pain is bad . But will grab some juice and then come take another bath then relax
Yeah I went swimming a few times to just relax but it relaxes me so much that I have the worst breathing.. I swear this pregnancy is by far the worst
Yeah and he technically is waiting till I hit 5cm to place me in the hospital but idk what they will do then since he doesn't want me on magnesium
@nikkimolano1 your not rude at all. that persons comment was insensitive and ignorant and you handled it better than I would have. I would of put a beezy in her place. best of luck to you and your baby.! just try and relax to get comfortable 💜
His lungs will be good since I already took the betamathazine steroids . Been taking steroids this whole time . I wish I wasn't alone .
I'm sorry I'm so rude 😢😢 I'm just in pain and very much tired maybe sleeping about 4 hours can't eat cause I have no appetite in and out of the hospital was on strictly bed rest and now he says to walk to speed up contractions 😖
I would just walk if you have to do something. No castor oil.
I haven't given birth so this is merely my opinion. I wouldn't take caster oil
and just wait it off. The contractions are sure to speed up if that what your body naturally did with your previous pregnancies. Just keep walking or try zumba! :) Anyways good luck girl.
I don't want to be induced I wanted him to put me on mag but he says with my previous history he believes it won't work since it didn't the last 2 times I was on strictly bed rest and monitoring at home also on the injections P17 and taking some pills for contractions. He says we will figure it out once I'm 5cm
Did you not read that I am having massive contractions and the doctor doesn't want to do anything for me I'm well aware I lost a stillbirth at 26 weeks less than a pound . My son is 4 pounds 3 oz now which is the same size my lasts born was . They were all healthy besides the stillbirth. I'm in pain and all they say is take Tylenol been on it for more than 4 weeks did trabutaline and did nothing for my contractions. I'm supposed to walk to try and start up labor he says. I just need remedies and help I'm alone in all of this .
your 31 weeks an want to be induced? you do know a lot of babies born that early have a lot of health problems an some don't live because they are so premature. not judging, but if you love your baby an want a healthy baby you need to wait as long as possible.
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. ?
Yikes well I only did 3 and got lazy tired 😂
