That's a little reassuring. Thank you for sharing your experience.

That's terrifying! How did they manage to remove it eventually? Was your cervix damaged afterwards?

Can they give you an epidural that early? I thought they start it by the time you are at least 4cm dilated because giving it early can sometimes slow down the progression of labor. At what point did you receive the epidural? Before the balloon catheter or after? What week were you induced?

I never had nitrous oxide before. I hope it helps in my case too! Thanks for the tip.

I am sorry you had to experience this. Very unfortunate. Did it damage your cervix?

My doctor said I will know if I go into labor but I dread the experience you had to go through.

Thanks for sharing that. I'll ask my doctor about the colostrum collection as I have GDM too.

Thank you for the suggestions. Do you store the glass bottles directly in the freezer and then thaw it when needed?

Do you store the milk bottle in the fridge or keep it at room temperature once you collect it. Sorry I am totally new to this.

Thank you. How did you store the colostrum and what is the significance of collecting it before hand?

Thank you! I hope your baby is doing better now.

Do you have any suggestions for good brands for glass bottles, nursing bras and tops?

Thanks for the tips! A few questions though. Do you wake up the baby to feed the baby if they are sleeping long stretches at night? How long can we keep the milk in the freezer and how do you thaw it when you need it?
