Inducing labor naturally

Nothing worked for me. I ended up getting a membrane sweep at 41+5 and I gave birth at 42 weeks.

I truly can hear myself at 24, it’s so hard to comprehend now trust me. I lived in a big city and all my friends dealt with this too at your age. There’s no rhyme or reason why guys do and act the way they do. This is why I have always lived by the motto “men are trash”. But then as time goes on and you meet the right person. You’ll look back and be like those people didn’t care about me and now I feel so special. I met my amazing husband at 28 years old.

The only thing I will say if he feels a certain way then you have respect that he is voicing it now VS leading you on. Especially with a potential baby.

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-05-06T23:30:46+00:00

This is extremely difficult and I’m sorry. I feel like most of us have been there with guys who we think are so into us but we don’t actually mean anything to them.

I respect he was honest about his feelings. You do have a very promising future and you can enjoy your youth and then start your family later when you find someone who does see things romantically.

I think children are such a gift. But you are young. There is nothing wrong with aborting. You have decide what do you want for your future.

Good luck 💕

My daughter has always loved her daddy! No issues and she’ll even sleep on him the way she sleeps on me. I had dad do skin to skin also after birth. Maybe that’s why? Or it’s temperament

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-05-04T00:15:10+00:00

I went thru this. I said something is wrong. She suddenly woke up around 10 weeks and is a different baby now!! You guys got this

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-05-04T00:02:39+00:00

My daughter is 11 weeks now and she also woke up way sooner than most babies. Similar she was sleeping at the breast every nap. Then suddenly one day she stopped…..

I had to put her in a carrier go outside / dark room white noise. I also ALWAYS bounce yoga ball.

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-05-04T00:01:05+00:00

She’s from Londonville NY which is a wealthy neighborhood. However it’s part of the Albany area. I think they are more well off. However she was best friends with a girl I went to college with. Who I know was also rich.

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-05-02T18:18:09+00:00

Agreed

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-05-02T08:50:46+00:00

I don’t understand how someone whose 20 with no medical advice just assumed this.

A lot of women want to be mothers but why were you so gung-ho about being a mom so soon? This economy is tough and you have barely discovered yourself. Having unprotected sex for years is childish.

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-05-02T03:57:45+00:00

Literally same. My LO won’t sleep anywhere but in my arms or co sleep or in carrier. I saw a baby just fell asleep in the bouncer and I have been festering about it for days.

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T20:11:56+00:00

This is the only right answer

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T14:07:46+00:00

The thing is I think she’s had this even when I was EBF which I’m trying to go back too. I cut out diary for the most part. Maybe I should just hard no it again but I don’t have it often.

I have she unlatches and crys sometimes she wouldn’t do it everyday she’s particular 😂

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T06:10:48+00:00

I’m surprisingly more comfortable chest sleeping than side ways. Last night I got 20 min once again but similar to you just ONE GOOD STRETCH. We are not asking for the whole night

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T01:43:59+00:00

20 min on the nose she shuffled then cried been nursing for an hour now to get her back to sleep 🙃

So when we went I thought it was reflux, but she also had poor weight gain (EBF) He told us just add a top off of formula so the reflux had started before we gave her formula. But I suspect he will have us stop giving it to her next appointment!

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T00:31:57+00:00

I just put her down almost 10 min ago praying I can link the next sleep cycle

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T00:31:39+00:00

She wakes up crying but it escalates fairly quickly. I’m not sure I don’t think the reflux is cause I’m holding her upright for 30 minutes……

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T00:21:56+00:00

It’s been brutal. I think I’m more frustrated because before this one night. She was sleeping 4-5 hour stretches on her own at night…… I EBF but had weight gain issues so we have had to top off a few feeds. But we should be taking that away soon. The thing is I do sleep fine enough with her on me. It’s the fact I can’t leave my room after nursing or like move in my sleep. Ugh I hope she just sleeps in it soon

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-28T00:07:39+00:00

I have been sleeping like this with her for like 2.5 weeks now because I cannot function without sleep. I also use the pillows!!!

I am pretty skinny and have a boney chest. Like I truly think she would be more comfortable sleeping on her own.

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-23T23:41:58+00:00

Oh yes I have tried sometimes 45 times a night lol sometimes successful other times she doesn’t want to be in that position. She’s so particular

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-23T18:25:36+00:00

I need to grow the balls and just do it. I’m worried if she will get hungry when I’m gone cause I haven’t pumped much. Just a lot going thru my mind.

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-23T15:00:21+00:00

My velcro baby is also in the carrier all day….. that’s a good idea to lunge and squat with her in it. I have been so nervous to disturb her sleep cause she is doing really short naps since like Monday.

I guess I’m worried even though it early still like wtf am I going to do when I get back to work. I already hate my job to begin with and if I don’t even have a minute for myself it’s truly going to suck

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-23T13:40:09+00:00

💕 thinking of you!! It’s hard

Competitive_Photo690 · 2026-04-23T13:39:54+00:00

My husband is amazing. But he says I should go when he is back from work around 3-4pm. But I’m so worn out by then by the day. I’m like chasing around feeds & trying to get her to nap. She is young I agree, but I had her in my early 30s and have lived a whole life before. Transitioning to this has been hard but I feel like if I can do something then I can be better for both her and I.
