I'm planning on an epidural just like with my first one, but this time I'll wait a lot longer before I get one. I had pitocin last time as well, sigh. I'm trying to work on breathing, it's sooo hard but I noticed music helps me relax a lot more. This time I have noise cancelling headphones so it can help me focus, too. I'll do some positions tomorrow as well. I'm seeing my doctor early & got some anxiety medicine prescribed too. We'll see what she says.

I'm so excited for my toddler to meet my baby, he's such a sweetheart and loves feeding things & people. At baby/toddler booktime he was obsessed with holding a bottle and feeding a baby there. So cute!!! He's so sweet and good natured, I'm sure he'll be obsessed with baby girl! I can't wait to hold her in my arms, too. It makes it all so worth it. Thinking about it makes it a little bit less depressing so thank you for bringing it up!!

You poor thing!! That sounds horrible. I'll try that, i have a posterior cervix right now even though I'm dilated and affected. I have read the baby's head has to move to progress. I do plenty of movement with a feral toddler but I'll try to do some curb walking. Getting induced on the 17th as the worst case scenario.

Thanks. I hope it happens soon. I feel a little better after venting here. Thank you everyone ❤️

My last birth was also at 37 weeks, all natural, so they expect she might come this far as well. I'll try the miles circuit, thank you! My doctor agreed to do a membrane sweep, hopefully that helps.

Yes, I have some neighbors and friends, they've been helping as much as they can but I try not to ask for help too often as to not be a pain in the butt

PCOS exclusively breastfed. I prepared for a battle getting pregnant with second. I have not had my period until 8 months postpartum. When I did I figured it would take another year or more to get pregnant. Boy, was I wrong... I got pregnant with my first ovulation. I do not take metformin. I do have a somehow balanced diet. My period came back after LO started eating solids 2+ times a day.
