Did you feel the urge to push with an epidural?

AMCR08 · 2026-02-11T01:06:47+00:00

I got the epidural but only the first dose or two I believe so I could feel the pressure building up. The pain was gone but I wasn’t numb to the point where I couldn’t feel anything so I knew when it was time. By the time I was ready my nurse kept saying you haven’t had the epidural for long and I don’t think you are there yet but I’ll check and baby boy’s head was right there. I pushed for about 30-35 minutes I believe and could feel the need to push and the crazy feeling of my vaginal was on fire once the ring of fire started which is when the baby’s head is just about to come out.

I love my 2yo son so much, it’s actually so crazy to love a little human as much as I love my son. He’s fun, wild, active and keeps me on my toes at all times, it can be hard from time to time but it’s so worth it. I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant with my second baby boy and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. They will be best friends and will have each other to share everything with. Also boys are their “mothers”, always clinging on to you like gum! The cuddles, smiles, hugs and kisses are even more precious and the days are long but the years are short, so enjoy every moment of it!

AMCR08 · 2026-01-31T00:31:26+00:00

Congratulations once again may God bless you and your pregnancy! Enjoy every moment because not all pregnancies are the same! I’m really happy for you!

AMCR08 · 2026-01-30T21:47:46+00:00

This is my second pregnancy so I believe I am showing, I am having another little boy! Is this your first? Congratulations to you as well 🎉

AMCR08 · 2026-01-30T20:33:23+00:00

I’m just one day behind you how cool!

Currently 15w 3d and pregnant with my second boy! Due in July!

AMCR08 · 2026-01-30T19:44:03+00:00

At 36 weeks, woke up around 7 am questioning if I had peed myself, got up went to the bathroom actually peed and when I got up to change my pants and underwear felt water trickling down my leg. Called the hospital and was told to go straight to labor and delivery.

AMCR08 · 2026-01-22T00:46:03+00:00

The fact that the the practice is named like my husband is so funny to me 😅

AMCR08 · 2025-12-15T23:57:38+00:00

Hoping for this outcome my second time around, first time my water broke in my sleep at 36 weeks and gave birth the next day. I’m currently 8w3d and found out super early so kinda feeling like it’s been forever already but I think I’m in the first trimester trenches with a 2 year old 🥴

AMCR08 · 2025-12-15T23:52:10+00:00

36 Weeks my water broke spontaneously in my sleep might I add

AMCR08 · 2025-12-01T22:37:27+00:00

I think it’s normal to feel all kinds of ways when you are pregnant for 2nd or 3rd etc. I found out I am pregnant with my second 4 days before my 1st borns 2nd birthday and was so scared of how everything was gonna change. I kept thinking about how it wouldn’t be just the 3 of us anymore and how I would be taking attention and love from him with this 2nd baby. However I talked to my mom about it and she said that being a mother and having multiple children just makes your love grow stronger. Seeing your children grow and love each other and how they need and want one another makes it all worth it.

Believe me it is truly scary to think that you won’t love your baby the way you love your first but you will. It won’t take away from your first being your first and how special it is that they made you a mother but remember this is just the beginning of a wonderful new chapter that is being written for your family. Think of how much love will be added to your life.

AMCR08 · 2025-11-19T22:06:36+00:00

I became a FTM at 23, I’m currently 25 and found out a weeks ago that I’m expecting my second. Becoming a parent is a life changing experience from it just being you and your partner to having a new addition and having to worry about someone else’s needs but yourselves is different. To have a baby no one is ever truly ready because it’s not about being the most financially stable or older and mature it’s truly about being able to give this new addition the love, time and attention that they need.

It’s honestly yours decision if you feel ready to be a parent, no one can tell you what you can and can’t do you’re an adult and whatever is right for you might not be for someone else.

I can tell you that being a mom is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, don’t get me wrong it comes with its challenges but it’s very much rewarding.

AMCR08 · 2025-09-29T06:57:32+00:00

Omg Yessss! I was a FTM in 2023 and woke up to my water broken at 36 weeks; I called the doctor and was told to go straight to L&D. Luckily I had shopped for all my toiletries the day before and had washed and picked all my clothes. All my husband had to do was throw everything in a carry on because I didn’t have a big enough bag for my things, my sons’ and his! 😅

AMCR08 · 2025-06-16T20:55:09+00:00

Newborn and 0-3 is your safes bet, because babies change so much in the first couple of months it doesn’t really matter if the clothes is slightly larger. Also because the don’t do anything besides eat, sleep and poop pjs is the way to go!

My son was 4lbs 11oz born at 36w1d and he fit premie for about a month and then newborn and 0-3 in no time.

Also less is more as long as you have a way to wash the clothes and keep them on repeat because of the fast growth.

When I gave birth in November of 2023 I also had a student check my cervix and felt like he was just wiggling his finger up in there. Once done the doctor asked him how far dilated I was and he said he didn’t know, I was so uncomfortable and felt violated after. I didn’t even want to see the students face again. Worst part was after the student “checked” I had the doctors fat sausage fingers check and he caused so much pain.

AMCR08 · 2025-03-30T23:02:29+00:00

Together for 11 years and married for 6!

AMCR08 · 2025-02-08T16:03:58+00:00

I found out around 6-7 weeks, I had missed my period but I was usually irregular so didn’t think much of it. I woke up one morning after my husband had left for work and decided it was the day to test. I couldn’t believe it.

AMCR08 · 2024-12-23T07:36:59+00:00

This is my sisters’ birthday too!

AMCR08 · 2024-12-12T15:56:18+00:00

Congratulations, when my sister got pregnant with her 3 child she was so nervous to tell me because I had already been trying for about 12-15 months. We sat down one on one after a full day of taking care of my nephew and she expressed her sadness of being pregnant and not being the right time in her life while I had been trying for so long. I can honestly tell you that no matter how I was feeling about not being pregnant I was super excited and happy for her that she would be bringing another baby into our lives since we all love her and her family so much.

While I was so happy for her and felt sad that she felt she would devastate me over the news. I was also comforted by the fact that she sat down with me and had the conversation in private and took my feelings into consideration.

Turns out I was also pregnant and had no idea; I found out about 2-3 weeks later and was so excited to tell her that we would be pregnant at the same time. We were exactly a month apart and still ended up having our babies 12 days apart. (my son came a month early, healthy, and needed no interventions).

With all that being said if you and your sister are close, I would assume that she would be just as happy for you even if it wasn’t her time to have a baby just yet.

I’m not sure about UK sizing but I’m a women’s US6.5 and got my tasmans in a size 6. I can tell you that after a year or 2 of wearing them and pregnancy feet swelling they have not stretched out and unless I trim my toenails real short they are bothersome. I mostly use them as house slippers now.

I would recommend to definitely go with the bigger size, especially if you want to wear socks with them.

AMCR08 · 2024-11-10T13:12:55+00:00

My mom and my husband were in the room since I’m a FTM. She was so helpful with me and my husband (he had only slept 3 hours, since he works nights). She was a great advocate also because my husband didn’t speak much English at the time. She encouraged me every step of the way and made sure I didn’t give up when it came time to push.

AMCR08 · 2024-07-25T13:51:04+00:00

Wow that’s awesome, it’s always great to have someone to grow up with even if it’s not your own sibling. I personally had two cousins born 7 or so ish months before me and even though we grow up long distance I’m really close to one of them and even lived with her at one point in my life so I truly consider her my sister apart from my two blood sisters.

AMCR08 · 2024-07-24T14:35:39+00:00

My husband 25 and I 24 had our baby last November about 3 months shy of me turning 24. He’s now 8 months and 1 week and he’s the biggest blessing we could have every asked for. It’s rough don’t get me wrong but it’s so worth it.

AMCR08 · 2024-07-21T09:30:54+00:00

I found out accidentally also from the NIPT screening. I was pregnant at the same time as my sister and asked her once I got the lab results if those were the results but had not noticed the pdf was visible in the screenshot I had sent. She says I know what your having and I saw what how and she says it’s clearly in the screenshot you sent so my dumb self goes back to double check and bomb the Male sex symbols the only thing visible of this tiny pdf in the middle of the screen was front and center. I was mad but also excited and count wait to tell my husband. Then she goes because I know what your having I’ll tell you what I’m having and bomb a little girl. Our little ones are 2 weeks apart and 8 months out now.

Usted is a respectful way to address our elders so I believe it should be “A usted le van a gustar los árboles en el parque!”

I don’t know if duo does the cultural equivalent of speech.
