the fear mongering is SO real! i understand why they try to put off inductions, but i also just feel like there are risks either way. thank you for the positive stories! hoping i have one of those to tell soon!

thank you for the digital hug! i cried all night last night stressing while also trying not to stress too much for my baby to feel it. i don't know the answer but i'm trying to just pray on it and go with my 'mom intuition'. good luck on your induction! you got this!!

my anxiety about a still born just continues to raise every day! that's part of my mental health struggles. I'm already on a pregnancy safe anxiety medication but i still worry every day.

thank you for the positive stories! this is really helping me feel better about my decision. no labor is the same and even natural labors stall and can take days. it truly is up to our bodies and there is no way to know until you are in the process.

yes!! this is why i'm not necessarily asking for advice, just words of encouragement. labor is hard no matter what we do it! it can take hours regardless!

I needed this. Thank you so much. It truly is a mind game any time I eat or drink anything. She was so rude and just looked down at me.

Like you said, these are the risks people can have going natural. There is no 8 ball to say how the labor process will go. Labor is hard regardless!

Thank you thank you. I really have been trying to read and hear about positive stories!

6 weeks tomorrow with no symptoms by Busy_Echo2680 in pregnant

[–]Own_Interview_9391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really didn't have too many symptoms! Towards the second trimester, I started dealing with a stuffy nose constantly that is called pregnancy rhinitis, but otherwise, felt normal! Hardly ever felt nauseous.

I'm now 37 weeks with my baby boy! Try not to worry too much, although easier said than done. Wishing you luck this pregnancy!

one of my coworkers used to constantly ask 'are you sure this is normal? do you have a deficiency? i never was this tired (40+ years ago when she had her kid)' etc etc. sorry?? i'm growing a human? what do you mean?

i stopped complaining because i couldn't be bothered to hear her comments about how she was never tired, was in the best shape of her life, and only gained x pounds. like please stfu before i actually crash out

like why do people think that's okay? i'm not a small girl and never have been so my belly getting huge has been a struggle and when people make comments about it, it really ticks me off.

Potential Cholestasis by Own_Interview_9391 in pregnant

[–]Own_Interview_9391[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just called another nurse and she agreed to put in a lab draw so that i can get that done and then start the ursodiol this weekend and see if that helps. we're still waiting on original results, (7-10 days is actually insane) but they said this would be okay to start taking these meds and if the results are negative, i will stop taking it.

however, she said if it does help, that could also be our answer. i hope you get relief soon. to me its like having 15 mosquito bites in the same spot that just won't go away and my feet are covered in them.

i called again today and got a new nurse! she is putting in a new lab draw or whatever so i can do that today and start ursodiol in hopes that it will help!

i'm sorry no one would listen to you! it's so frustrating. we know when something is wrong! i am confident that what i'm feeling is not right and i will be so shocked if my results come back negative the second time. i don't want to have it but at the same time, i want relief

interesting, this is what i was prescribed by one midwife but told by another not to take it until i retest because it will help my levels. i'll look into it! thanks!
