Met my midwife for the first time yesterday. I’m almost 11 weeks and our little squirrels bpm was 188(: she said if I wait 5 weeks to schedule my next appt instead of 4, we can find out gender ! Dec 12 we will know if this squirrel has little nuts or not! 💕
@jlawrence62317 - that is really awesome! Congrats on your marriage. :) And yeah, my husband has 3 other kids, all of which were home births. So he had to walk me through everything. Lol.
@jlawrence62317 - yeah, that sounds like a hospital. So ridiculous! They should respect us mothers. We're the ones who has to do the hard part.
@koawafamily2016, oh how sweet! I actually just got married this last June and that was the day (: this is my husbands first so he’s very nervous. Lol
@jlawrence62317 - Can I ask what the 62317 is? The reason I ask is, because my oldest son was born on 6/23/11 :)
@koawafamily2016, I’m very excited. I made it to an 8 with my first and 7 with my second and then the hospital staff “had a chat” with me and because I was so young I broke down scared and gave in.
@jlawrence62317 it is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT experience! You will LOVE it!
@koawafamily2016, yeah I had two hospital births and they were awful with the pushy crap. This would be my first natural
@jlawrence62317 - would this be your first all natural birth?
Just be careful, hospital personal have a hard time giving women the freedom and patience to have a natural birth. They are very pushy to get their patients in and out, as quickly as possible. So crazy how selfish they could be. I learned that through experiences.
@koawafamily2016, see and I desperately want too, but? My husband isn’t fully comfortable with? So if he wants me to be in a hospital, I’m fine with that as long as it’s natural lol
@jlawrence62317- that's awesome!! I had a home birth with my second child. And it was the BEST decision I made in my entire life! I can NOT imagine going back into a hospital to do the very thing we were created to do- give birth. :)
@koawafamily2016, why did you say “midwife”?
@koawafamily2016, I wanted too but our living situation isn’t ideal. We’re looking into birthing centers but we’re open to a natural hospital birth if they can do water birthing and what not.
You said, "midwife" so I'm curious, are you planning a home birth?
I miss being pregnant of my Lil boy @jlawrence62317
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.
Ah congrats
