What would you do? I feel so stupidly selfish if I choose to be induced because I want my boy to come when he is ready, but I am also feeling selfish stressing him out because everything going on and how stressed I am. So do I continue to stress him out or do I get induced and deal with this and let him be? Or will he be okay? I've been up all night contracting on and off but could it be from my nerves?
Sorry that makes no sense my kid took my phone. 😒
I was induced at 39 weeks because I have a history of having big babies and my daughter was measuring big. My doctor wanted me to have her as soon as I was full term. I really wanted to let her come on her own but I kept getting this feeling like I should just go ahead and be induced. She ended up being born face up and got stuck for a minute before she just popped out lol. Had she been any bigger she probably would have gotten severally stuck. So in the long run I actually was really thankful I was induced. I'd just talk it over with your doctor and weigh the pros and cons.
I've had 3 inductions. My first I was 42 weeks and nothing was happening, no dilation, no thinning, nothing. That labor took 11.5 hrs. The 2nd I was 38 weeks, dilated to a 5 with bulging water and lived over 45 minutes from the hospital. He broke my water before pitocin was added. This labor was 2.5 hrs start to finish. The third was 4 days shy of 40 weeks. I was under a lot of stress so we induced early. That labor was 2 hrs start to finish. We'll see what happens with this baby, but seeing as how my labors have been getting faster each time and I live over 45 minutes away again we may induce with this one too. Good luck momma!
If stress is a huge concern to you, baby can feel that to. Your full term, you can ask to be induced! And he might come before that! My daughter came the day before I was supposed to be induced.
Sorry your going through hard times mamma, it will get better with time, keep your head up love ❤️
I would take the induction mama... The reason I was induced with my first son was bc of stress. The Dr believed he was safer on the outside at that point (I was 38 weeks) and it was true. When we're stressed out babies definitely feel that unfortunately. I know you want him to come.on his own but if you were contracting all night, he's probably ready. No matter what your decision is, it's the right one. Your his mom and your going to chose what's best for him and you. You're not being selfish at all ❤️❤️
@mamakiki3 sorry mama I've just been in the dumps..sure you understand. Sweep was done had contractions all night, random here and there now. Getting induced Thursday as well at 8am
@nbentley88 I hope you're doing okay mama, I can't even imagine how you feel😔.... Thursday is so close I'm happy you're getting induced. That'll make things better and less stressful and you'll finally get to hold your baby boy❤️❤️ maybe our babes will have the same birthday!
It’s only selfish to ask for an induction early. You’re full term. I’d ask for 1. It’ll help take your mind off the bs you’ve been dealing with once that baby is in your arms. Hugs mama
I was partially induced with my first and scheduled induction with my 2nd. My first my water was leaking so they did give me pitocin to speed labor along. He was 4 days late. With my 2nd I was 41 weeks. I had some problems 2 weeks before induction so my ob wanted to schedule. My induction with my 2nd was so easy!! Labor and delivery was a breeze. I understand wanting to have him come on his own and like pp said u still have some time. Try not to stress about it too much. Either way the baby will be here soon! Good luck
I was induced with my daughter and I will be induced with my son as well. It medically necessary for me because I was having contractions and I had been dilated 2 CM and 60% thinned out for two weeks but had steady contractions but nothing was happening and it was stressing not on the baby out but my body as well. Being induced really isn’t that bad but it does take some time. I went in Feb 25, 2016 at 5 PM was checked into my room by 6:30 and had cervidil by 7 PM.. still having those consistent contractions well 12 hours later at 7 AM my water broke and things sped up from there.. it was a crap show at that point however it was due to the nurses. If you doctor feels it’s necessary as mine did then do not feel selfish! Pregnancy is hard and some pregnancys are harder than others and people forget that. ❤️
@nbentley88, You too!! It’s not too late for you yet. You have 6 more days! ❤️❤️❤️ Maybe this little boy will surprise you! Try and relax as much as you can. I know it’s easier said than done especially being 9 months pregnant 😂
@inked_mommy92 thank you. I plan to talk with my Dr today and see what she thinks.
@nbentley88, You’re welcome. I got induced at 39 weeks and 6 days with my daughter and had her at 40 weeks. I’ll be induced at 38 weeks 6 days and probably have my son at 39 weeks on the dot. I waited as long as my doctor would allow me too.
I think stress can prevent labour from happening xx
@erincharlieconor yes. I had one last Thursday and then will again today.
@nbentley88, fingers crossed this one does things! Just seen it’s your third baby I had my sweep at 39plus weeks with my third and it got things going that same night really fast labour too! Wish you the best.
@erincharlieconor, I was also under loads of stress aswell x
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...

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.

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?
Creeped out!
A new guy at work just tickled the back of my neck! I cringed and told him "Don't ever touch me, that weirds me out!" On Monday he pulled my braid as I was grabbing parts for him, I also told him don't ever do that. Ugh. I don't feel comfortable working with him EVER! A coworker told me that when she walked past he said "what's cooking good looking". I feel he doesn't deserve to work here. I can't feel like I'm going to be harassed at work. Like who does that?? I'm so creeped ou...
You let him come on his own. Getting induced bc your stressed is silly.
