Question. When I was induced with my first two they gave me pitocin immediately. My cousin was to be induced today at 7am and they told her she can’t have pitocin until she’s 2cm, and they keep giving her the pills to soften her cervix. Is that normal?
I had to have a medically necessary induction with my first daughter and they gave me pitocin right away. With my second daughter it was an elected induction and they gave me the pill. It didn’t work so great for me though and after 2 doses they ended up giving pitocin.
It depends. My doctor told me the success of an induction is dependent on your cervix - dilation, softness, etc. Her cervix may not have been in an ideal condition for pitocin right away.
I wonder if it’s different in every state 🤔 cause I was induced with my first two and with my second I was only 34weeks when I was admitted and 36 weeks when I had her and I wasn’t dilated at all prior to the pitocin
@lottyyydottyyy, Was her induction elective or medically necessary?
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.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Idk how normal it is, but they gave me one of those pills before starting pitocin. I dont remember if it did anything or not.
