intro
This is my fourth pregnancy. I miscarried at week 6 with baby number 2 but immediately became pregnant with my third child the following cycle! My first birth I was put on pitocin, 2 epidurals didn't work and ended up going unmedicated unexpectedly. It was a difficult birth because he was posterior. My third birth I read up as much as I could on natural birth because those epidurals didn't work the first time and I ended up having an unmedicated water birth. It was a good experience for me. If this baby goes full term I would love to be able to do another unmedicated birth because my recovery was really really quick and easy and my daughter did really well . If the baby is posterior I would consider trying for an epidural. There are no breaks from the pain between contractions with that! My son is 5 & my daughter is 2.

You sound like my kind of person! Lol I am into fitness of any sort but mainly weight training. This make baby #4 for me after 9 months TTC. Short compared to TTC my 3rd baby.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss and your horrible experience with laboring your last baby. Praying for a smooth pregnancy and delivery this time, for you!
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...
