Hi! My name is Tristin I am 38 weeks! Any other mommies to be almost there?! I am very nervous to give birth and anxious about being a mom for the first time! Any helpful tips?
Yea! It's is tough being pregnant and a new mom with no family or friends. We moved here for my husbands job I had to leave my job and found out I was pregnant a month after we moved! Just trying to make the best of it but it's tough
Aww I'm sorry girl I know not having family around sucks.. Most my family are in Ecuador. I just have my sister n mom here in state. And yes girl same here ! Haha we can be friends ! Especially since our due date is one day apart lol
@mrs.metcalf, yea I should hope so! I'm all alone in the state with no family so I'm very thankful my hubbie is hands on or I'd feel terribly alone! I'm just trying to make some Mommie friends here but it's been tough
@mrs.metcalf, yea I definitely lucked out with him he's just more than helpful and more than caring I can't imagine what single moms have to go through it must be so tough
Lmao I think the same! I think it's crazy and mind blowing as well! Lol one night I had really bad pain and I felt pressure in my tail bone and I totally freaked out! I was shaking bc I didn't know if it was contractions lol but it was the Braxton hicks. So when u start having pressure down there remember to stay calm lol. Bc my hubby had to calm me down lol a warm bath deff help!
Look on google there's pictures that ppl took of their mucus plug lol it's nasty but it deff gives u an idea how it looks like! Some ppl don't notice their plug come out but some ppl do like me when I wiped I saw it! And the doctors told me it's not a big deal but from ppl that I know that their plug fell off like a day after or a week or two their baby came. So honestly my baby can come at any time just like it is with u since we're both 38 weeks.
My hubby & I are very impatient we want this baby to be out! But no dilation.. Boo.. Lol but this morning right before my app. I took a shower and got out and start drying myself and then I felt something really wet in my vagina and I wiped and I saw it and even after that some other chunks came out and I told my doctor about it and she said it was my mucus plug.
@mrs.metcalf, yea I haven't felt anything that seems like contractions to me! And my doctor didn't check me this week bc I wasn't feeling any so I have to wait until Monday! I was checked on the 15th and I was effaced but forgot the percentage. But no dialation as far as I know, and the mucus plug I have no idea! How do you know?
Yes I'm also a first time mommy! I'm due on the 8th! And ur saying u haven't had any pains? I have had Braxton hicks. I had my appointment today to see if I dilated any.. But I haven't 😓 but my mucus plug did fall out this morning !
congrats!!! 💕💕💕 the most helpful tip i can give is to stay calm 😌 and patient through the labor process. haha. i was so anxious i ended up having a panic attack😣😂 i feel like such a fool about it now and laugh at it and also when you can SLEEP!!! haha
