In a few short days I will be going into the hospital to be induced. I have decisions to make and need suggestions. Epidural or IV pain medicine?
I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase? I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Things I never thought I'd say... Until I became a mom:
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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

I loved how amazing the iv pain meds make you feel. But only for about 20 minutes lol but you can’t get another dose as soon as it wears off, Only every hour you can. I waited as long as I could then was like fck it I need the epidural lol and after that I felt amazing and was able to sleep until I had to push 😅

@karinecastrejon, I’m leaning towards the epidural. But I’ve heard horror stories about having back pain from the epidural. Like even two years later. I guess I’m just getting nervous

I had both I don't think the iv pain meds work to good. It lasted for 15 mins and I could still feel every contraction happening. I loved epidural I couldn't hardly feel anything just pressure when I knew it was tone to push. I haven't had any back pain yet from it and I was able to get up and go pee right after they took it out of me.

@mommytotheo, I’m also worried about not being able to control where I’m pushing from, if that makes sense...💩

I had both and the IV pain meds lasted about 3 hours for me. I liked the epidural but I think I recovered fast without the epidural. Plus I ripped with the epidural.

@ashbryant0094, tbh I do have slight pain now I’m guessing from the epidural when I’m bent over for too long, like when I put my baby in her crib and I’m still leaning over for a while to make sure she stays or if I’m standing for too long in the same place my lower back hurts badly. But still I do feel like epidural was worth it

@ashbryant0094 not sure if having the IV pain meds was the reason why I didn't rip, but I had the epidural with my 2 oldest and ripped with both of them. Plus I have pain in my back from having the epidural.
