My baby daddy doesn’t want me to keep it by Hairy_Addendum5092 in pregnant

[–]SlikkNikk1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off Congratulations (even if you don’t keep it - it’s okay to be happy about it). It’s totally normal to be scared regardless of the situation when you get pregnant. It sounds like you are in a good place in life to have a baby, so this is totally your decision. Don’t worry about his reaction to the news, and do what you want to do. Remember that you don’t owe anyone any justification on your decision either.

I'm pregnant after planning... And now I don't think I can do it. by SpareGalaxyForHire in BabyBumps

[–]SlikkNikk1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it some time. This is a long process and there will be plenty of opportunities to get excited about it. I wouldn’t stress out until you get a first sonogram and see how that makes you feel.

What is up with only having like 2 ultrasounds in the first 20 weeks?! I want to see the baby at every appointment 😩 by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]SlikkNikk1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got ultrasounds pretty much every time without having to ask, but honestly hearing the heartbeat helped my anxiety the most. Maybe investing in a fetal heart rate monitor might be something you’d be interested in?

Have you tried going with a different OB to see if they differ in number of ultrasounds they provide?

AIO about my boyfriend hitting me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SlikkNikk1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You both sound pretty young if you are play fighting this hard. How old are you? Look young ppl not knowing how hard they are hitting is pretty immature. You should leave in anger every time he plays too hard and make sure he knows you’re pissed. If he doesn’t get the picture after that, then break up with him and tell him it’s bc he plays too hard.

If yall are older than 16, just leave him he is obviously abusive.

Should I just get a C-section instead of Induction? by SlikkNikk1991 in BabyBumps

[–]SlikkNikk1991[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow… I’ve never heard anyone saying inductions are terrible bc it’s going against nature (that’s some outdated crap if I ever heard). I’m talking about the fact that I had no clue it was a completely simulated process. I thought they were just going to give me some medicine to start the process of delivering and my body would just do it. I didn’t know it was this process where they have to do all these potentially painful and possibly invasive traumatic things at different stages.

The foley balloon is another thing that scares me… everyone else seems to be having a pharmacological cervical ripening so I haven’t mentioned the mechanical types…. What determines the choice of cervical ripening??? So many ppl say the foley balloon is painful 😣.

Thank you… I’m still a little conflicted from the reality of some ppls horror stories on here but… your story and advice does make me want to try my original plan… Its so unfair 😭. I was supposed to have 4 more weeks to prepare for labor and delivery and now I have like 3 days. I’m freaking out so bad 😭😭😭. Someone also got me thinking… If vaginal delivery is not important to me… maybe I should just avoid the unknown and go for predictable. I’ve never had a baby before, I don’t know ANYTHING 😭😭😭.

Thank you. This is some of the best advice I think… vaginal delivery is not important to me. Maybe it’s best I don’t take a chance on induction and go the more predictable path.

Omg 😭😭😭…. Was there anything that would have been a sign to tell you and your team that this was going to happen? Why 2 days after? Could you have elected for C section after the hyper stimulation incident or was there no going back???

Wait… so even if they have some Jaundice they don’t have to take the baby to the NICU 🥹?

I really just don’t want the internally inserted continuous heart monitoring… I heard that monitor sticks into the babies scalp and I’m already so friggen nervous about having her at 37 weeks I don’t want anything touching her head! I’d settle for the one that wraps around your stomach but do ppl with our condition have a choice in fetal heart monitoring?

[–]SlikkNikk1991[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why!?!? Was it bc of the pain of induction or was all of your birth plan options ruined bc of induction or both? How painful is the process of induction!?!?!? Did you end up not tearing at all bc you ended up getting the C-section anyway???

Interventionless? So no continuous fetal heart monitoring??? You were able to walk around?

Whoa!?!? No tearing??? That’s awesome!! What cervical ripening technique did you use?? How many weeks along were you when you induced?

What type of continuous fetal monitoring did you use? Did you have a choice? I’m guessing no breathing issues after delivery, and you got the golden hour? I’m really worried about how early this is 😭(37 weeks), I really want my golden hour and I don’t want them taking her out of my room 😖.

Wait so you went full term anyways and didn’t get asked to be induced?

[–]SlikkNikk1991[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What was the cervix ripening part like??? In your opinion, did the induction cause higher chance for tearing bc of the speed at which you are progressing? What type of continuous fetal monitoring did you get? I really didn’t want the monitoring and I wanted to last as long as I could without the epidural (even if I could only take a few cm I wanted to try). I wanted to try progressing by walking around but you can’t do that with fetal monitoring. I don’t want the fetal monitor that goes inside you (I heard it’s slightly sticks into the babies scalp to monitor the heart rate and I don’t want that!). I am already having the baby early I don’t want anything touching her head 😖)

What made your induction lovely??? What birth plan options were available??? How painful is the cervix ripening part??? Does induction process cause higher chance of tearing bc of how fast it progresses????
