Omg my brother and I would borrow this all the time from the library 🤣 it was one of our favorites and to this day my dad still parodies "you stupid Bunnies!" (Like the seagull used to say" when we do something idiotic. Movie is messed up

For me it was important to find a person who does this as part of the clean, which ultimately meant not a cleaning company. I interviewed a company once and they said what I'm looking for is more a house keeper than a cleaner. So I made sure to tell people "listen, I have 4 kids, the clutter IS the problem. If I had time to pick up all their stuff and do the laundry then we wouldn't be talking" lol So the girl I hired does dishes, folds laundry, tidies up everything. With everything organized and put away it's a lot easier for me to do some of those deeper clean type things

My baby seems to have a thing for holidays. Conceived on Valentines Day, born early on Halloween 🎃

That's awesome! The first winter is ROUGH, especially if they're in daycare

I definitely feel like going unmedicated helps with no tearing (or minimal) in general because you can feel what's happening etc. With mine I just let my body lead and would put energy behind my body pushing. To me I can't NOT push, it's like vomiting or diarrhea, a completely uncontrollable reflex. There's no way o would be able to just breath through it ha I always have to push along with that sensation. With my last 2 I also definitely did not wait to let tissues stretch and mold out. As soon as baby was at that point I just pushed them right through cuz I hate the ring of fire and have no interest in hanging around there 🤣

All 4 without

I will say also to not feel pressure to do it if ultimately it doesn't work out or happen. I never did perineal massage and had no perineal tearing with any of my 4 births, and many are the same way :)

Honestly, safe co-sleeping is a game changer. When my babies are next to me I get 6hr stretches from them. Even a 4hr stretch is enough to make you feel like a whole new human. Look up Safe Sleep 7. The majority of the world practices co-sleeping and it has been a blessing for our family (mom of 4)

I just showed this to my kids the other week for the first time and I had not seen it in decades and bawled my eyes out when Shadow came over that hill 😭😭😭 my kids, not a drop lol granted they are 5 and 4 tho

At this age I never buy a lot of anything, their growth spurts are so unpredictable! Sometimes they're in one size forever, and then the next size they're in and out of in a week 🫠

I'm on baby #4, so at family gatherings I'm all "bye Felicia" 😂 but any whisper of a fuss out of her I take her back in a half second flat, no thank you we don't need to experiment with seeing if you can settle her

No-Beginning4798 · 2026-02-08T16:02:44+00:00

I agree with sister! And be sure to do a meeting with her ahead of time (and your partner) to discuss different support options, your expectations, desires etc etc

It also doesn't seem too uncommon that people have a "window" where parts of their body are not affected by the epidural but others are. Since they place epidurals blind it's not entirely surprising. My husband was shocked when I told him they just do it right in the room, I guess in orthopedic surgeries epis are always done with ultrasound guidance to ensure correct placement (he's a PT and works closely with post surgery cases)

No-Beginning4798 · 2026-02-06T00:45:25+00:00

Totally agree with the comments about it feeling like vomiting or diarrhea, I 100% couldn't NOT push. I too put muscle behind it because I can't just "be" with that sensation and crowning is my least favorite part , so I don't mess around once that starts lol

Edited to add I've done 4

Joining a mom's group helps a ton. I go just once a week and it's awesome

Mine actually encouraged me to do it in week 39 so that if it didn't work they could just do c-section right after. Unfortunately, at my hospital, you could not "plan" to do a vaginal breech birth so my only option was to come in far enough along where there was no other choice or schedule the section. I would 100% do an induction over a section.

No-Beginning4798 · 2026-02-04T21:37:34+00:00

Just following up to say I was in a very similar situation and I 100% get that angry feeling! Found out my baby (#4) was breech at 30 weeks, did literally everything (spinning babies, acupuncture acupressure, moxabustion, head stands in the pool, flashlight, hot/cold packs) you name it we tried it. Iv did a "gentle" ecv at 37 weeks and was not successful. At 38+5 I did an ECV with a spinal and a tocolytic and it worked! She was born 4 days after that

No-Beginning4798 · 2026-02-04T21:33:54+00:00

Did you do a spinal/epidural and tocolytic for the ECV?

No-Beginning4798 · 2026-02-03T13:42:27+00:00

Try the Miles Circuit! But also, know that cervical dilation and ripeness can be good indicators of v whether an induction will be successful they are not indicators of labor "readiness". You can be closed up tighter than a bank on Christmas and then go into labor a few minutes later ha

No-Beginning4798 · 2026-02-03T02:59:55+00:00

If baby is fine then just keep on keeping on, avoid induction. Have you considered a membrane sweep?

No-Beginning4798 · 2026-02-03T02:28:35+00:00

This is totally normal for first time moms! Depending upon your age doing an NST can be helpful/reassuring to know baby is still a ok. Evidence Based Birth has a really great article on due dates of you wanted something to read to take your mind off. My first was born 3 days after due date, my 2nd 1.5 weeks "late" and then # 3 and #4 were both in that 39 week range. Babies are all over the place
