I was 203 pounds before I got pregnant. Now I'm 208 at 29 +6 and I keep having dreams that I'm going to push out a baby with my mans big ass head that's going to be like 9 pounds lmao 😟.

@sweetsap88 I know they say its changed but, with everything going on I read its still been a higher death rate for us then others. So I just really want everyone surrounding me to be on the same page.
@muva.tings gosh, this brings up some bad feelings :/ you know that black women were used as test subjects for pregnancy pain levels and epidural trials? I think that's possibly where the misconception comes from. Non blacks were more likely to be given pain relief during labor. Blacks were forced to labor in pain because of that. Hopefully things have changed :) pain is now seen as subjective and is whatever the pt says it is
@sweetsap88 thats crazy! I was actually scared at the amount of black women that die giving birth. They for whatever reason assume our pain tolerance is higher than average and ignore our pleas. I made my man promise me if I say something is wrong that he'll make sure they don't ignore me like I don't know my own body.
Someone I know had one 2 yrs ago because of preeclampsia. She wanted a vbac for this pregnancy, all throughout her visits the dr was like "yeah, yeah, vbac no problem." Then as soon as she was almost full term, dr starts telling her she might not be able to do vbac, cuz baby is too big, her pelvis is too small, she might have gd (they tested her twice), she's not advancing like she should, they won't let her go past x amount of weeks, a laundry list of things why she can't get her vbac.
She switched drs at 38 weeks, had her baby vaginal, no problem and baby was only 7lbs 11oz. It's crazy the 1st dr was trying to scare her into a c section
@sweetsap88 I think usually they have our best interest in mind. From the stories I've heard when people have unexpected c-sections its usually due to really important things like the cord being wrapped around the babies neck which would make a natural birth in no way safe. And then when you have them due to being past 40 weeks my friend said hers was super smooth and she didn't feel a thing. They put a curtain up so she wouldn't see them opening her up and a few mins later her baby was on her chest.
@sweetsap88 lmao def gonna follow you so you can tell me how it goes!
@sweetsap88 phew, you are brave. Hows your pain tolerance?
@sweetsap88 my mans sister is a nurse so i'll have her in the room. she scares people lol she has that kind of demeanor where she'll take over.
@ek620 I don't think my pain tolerance is strong enough for natural. I def want epi lol
@sweetsap88 im so easy to stress out. they for sure had me thinking 9 pounds was about to have me, my vagina, and a baby all wrecked smh
@muva.tings, I tried natural but gave in for the epi when i was around 6cm because I was having back labor.
@muva.tings, oh wow! No, not a nightmare AT ALL! Like I said, it was pretty smooth as far as labor & delivery go. I had zero issues & my son was perfectly healthy. It didn’t take long to heal afterwards either! It was my first (and so far only) delivery.
@sweetsap88 I don't understand trying to scare us. That stress should not be added to an already stressful ass situation lol
@sweetsap88 i think thats normal, most women seem afraid of it.
@ek620 my doctor made it seem like having a 9 pound baby is a nightmare. That i'd run the risk of hurting her shoulders while pushing and all kinds of stuff -.- def the reason talking to other moms is good lol
@sweetsap88, Yup, vaginal delivery after my water broke. Labored for 7-8 hours then pushed for maybe 15 minutes.
I had a 9lb 6oz baby. Was a very easy labor & delivery. I find the worry about 9lb babies super amusing.
@sweetsap88 I'm wondering if a c section is easier? I know the healing process takes much longer but it would be easier if we do have 9 pounders right? Lol
Wish I could go home and go lay in my bed .. I'm not leaving the hospital till I can give birth & idk when he's ready to come but my water is fully broke , I'm 29 weeks and my son is only 2 pounds 15 ounces 😔 pray for me and my son
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
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?
not where I want to be but I'm proud I look better then prior to my pregnancy body .. I am sharing this with all mom's to let you all know that with an hour at the gym 3 to 4 times a week anything is possible ! as long as you put your mind to it ! I'm 20 pounds less than I was prepragnancy . currently 150 pounds , tiger stripes and all .. 15 pounds to go to my target weight ... mom's you can do it ! it takes time to see the progress but it's worth it
I cut the cable
I decided to get rid of cable ?. I'm hoping I don't regret it! I'm on a big saving splurge now that I have a lo. Anyone else get rid of cable? How's it going?
@sweetsap88 I will. Thank you.
