Still Pregnant
Today was my due date, Feb. 4th. I had a doctor's appointment and I am still only 1 cm dilated. To add to the bad news my doctor will not induce before I'm 10 days over. So the plan is if baby girl still hasn't made an appearance by my 41 week checkup I'll be induced on the 14th...Valentine's baby. 10 DAYS :-(. My groin and pelvic pain is almost crippling. Please baby girl mommy wants to meet you
2014baby, baby girl came 2/13/16. I went to my 41 week checkup on Thursday dr admitted me to l&d because fluid was low around baby girl. 4 pm I was given cevidral to thin out cervix, 5 am 2/12/16 they started me on pitocin to kick start constractions...my body, according to dr, was super sensitive to pitocin because constractions came on strong and steady but I wasn't dilating. They stopped the pitocin at 3 pm and started me on servital at 7 pm to thin lining more...got morphine to help me sleep around 8 pm. Around midnight dr stopped the servital and started pitocin again. I was given an epidural around 2:30 am 2/13/16. Stopped the horrific back contractions I was getting every 2-3 minutes with no change on dilation. At 9 am I had dilated to 3 cm, by 10 am the dr checked and I was 4 cm dilated so she ruptured my membrane. By 11:15 I had dilated to 9 1/2 cm. By noon I was fully dilated and the pushing began. She made her debut at 1:03 pm. Weighing 7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long.
Jessica, my doctor doesn't perform sweeps. So, if I haven't gone into labor on my own by my 41 week appt they'll check my fluid levels and monitor the baby, then I'll come back Sunday night to be induced. Prayfully, baby girl comes on her own.
Awhh decarlo bless you! Not long to go now hun, I went into labour at ten days over on my own without being induced. Have you got any sweeps booked? I had one at 40+4 and 41w and was woken up the morning of 41+3 by my first contraction and she was born 17 hours later. Speak to your doctor/midwife about getting some arranged xx
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.
So glad to hear she is here safe and sound! You must be exhausted - you had a long ordeal!
