So my best friend is 39 weeks today and she had an ob appointment. They checked her for dilation and she wasn’t dilated at all. Only a little bit thinned out. So she told me she was going home and going to start using her breast pump and start pumping to natural induce labor. I didn’t know what to say because is that even a thing? Do people really do that and does it really work? She’s not dilated at all and she said her midwife suggested it. Iv never heard of that before.

Where you dilated at all and how far along were you! I’m just still in shock that this is a real thing
Yeah. It is a thing. :) I can say with my daughter I was 39 weeks, not effaced or dilated at all, and my midwife told me I may go to 42 weeks. I had my daughter 4 days later with no attempts at starting labor at all. When baby made her mind up she was ready, nothing was stopping her. :)
So her pumping with her pump will actually work? That’s so crazy to think about Iv never done anything to naturally induce labor beside bouncing on a yoga ball and that didn’t really work
@samwebber, it stimulates hormones so I guess in some cases it can help induce labor but it’s not a for sure thing
Losing the baby
My sil is about 4 months along in her pregnancy and she starting bleeding really heavily so my dh took her to the hospital. He said she's dilating but hasn't texted back yet.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
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...
Just an update for everyone! My friends is in labor at the hospital going to have her baby today! So the pumping definitely help. She said she did 15 minutes per boob for 2 days 🥰
