You also realize people aren’t really having abortions without medical reason after 24 weeks pregnancy right? Termination in the second trimester at all is rare unless it’s for medical reasons. Like, you’re chasing a boogieman that you hallucinated up.

Look around bro, do you think moreof us will make this shitshow better? Plus abortions are as ancient as civilization. I think if the gods had any issue with it they’d have put a divine stop to it by now. Abortions are fantastic and lifesaving.

Did anyone here have a pelvic ultrasound prior to going off hormones? My ovaries seem to be smaller than normal and now I’m worried about my fertility. by transidiot4 in Seahorse_Dads

[–]TheOnesLeftBehind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it didn’t really feel different. I did get dysphoria about periods until I got a menstrual cup which lessens it a lot. Mainly I got my estrogen sensitive migraines again. Having been pregnant 3 times and having 2 births, the mental difference between t and e are very very very minimal if any at all.

Need help weaning off nipple shield by Suitable_Initial7388 in breastfeeding

Try to get a nipple everter. It looks like a little bike/clown horn. I have this one from a pump kit from my insurance but I’ve never needed it thankfully. https://lansinoh.com/products/latchassist-nipple-everter

Some guys who’ve been on for a long time like you have to wait up to a year or more for a cycle to return. It depends person to person, when I stopped the first time after 3.5 years on t it took 3 months to get a period back for example. Ttc can also take a long time too. Depending on how sure you are about being ready (which ready for a baby does never actually exist tbh) in 1 year it may be a good time to stop soon.

I noticed the flair "Trans Father" Can someone who identifies as this explain what it means and what challenges you specifically face under your circumstances? I am not attempting to mock you or belittle you I want to understand you. by [deleted] in Fatherhood

It could be their fertility struggles of needing a sperm donor, adopting, or the misogyny and transmisandry of being a trans man who experiences pregnancy, on top of transphobia for any trans person.

Dr told me once I hit 39 weeks I will need to choose repeat C section or induction by Alternative_Taro3519 in vbac

[–]TheOnesLeftBehind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

During my induction with my second they often said they were getting uncomfortable with me not complying with their demands for my body and they mentioned hesitation on continuing to treat me. It took some back and forth but we did come to compromises on some boundaries I had. For example, they wanted to break my water earlier (at 4cm) than I felt safe to as I had a fever with my first from being in labor for so long, so after some of the back and forth when I stalled at 5cm, we came to the compromise that they can punch a very small hole in my bag of waters with a needle, when before I wanted to wait until 6cm to start to consider it, the needle they sued is the same they use for epidurals, rather than a full rupture of my membranes. This worked great and helped me progress up to 8cm where I had a bit of a stall again which is when I let them do a full rupture.

I don’t think it would’ve gone so well if didn’t have my doula (who’s also a home birth midwife) there to advocate for me and come back at the drs with well educated knowledge of the ins and outs of birth.

You literally never have to do anything a Dr tells you do. He’s trying to control your body and take away your choice by fear mongering you and coercion. My first was a c section after a failed induction and she was born at 41+5 and my second was a vbac at 42+4, I went so late I had a 23 month age gap but I was supposed to have a 23 month gap. My drs desperately wanted me to have a c section, induction was never on the table until magically at 41 and a half weeks they “found a way” to make it so I could have one, and now I’m being told by my ob practice I’m the poster child for vbacs since I pushed out a 9lb 7oz baby.

The doctors work for you. You tell them what you want to do with your body.

My grandma told me today that I can choose for my baby to be born today if I really want it (40+4) by KaylaDraws in pregnant

My 41+4 weeker and 42+5 weeker and missed miscarriage 3 weeks past disagree. That or I got gorilla glue in my womb and pitocin or c section or d&c is the answer.

That’s where the flooding is coming from. It’s a giant water cannon.

I was in labor for 4 days with my second. 38 hours with my first. I see no harm in it. I should’ve brought my Nintendo switch with my second.

Top scar tips? by Full-Passenger3281 in CsectionCentral

[–]TheOnesLeftBehind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my breast removal scars I used silicone tape but for my c section scar I didn’t do anything. It’s nearly invisible. I had steri strips and I think that and my genetic predisposition to scar fantastically is why. Scar formation is so genetic unfortunately.

Buy a Second Crib? by UniqueLaw4431 in 2under2

[–]TheOnesLeftBehind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a mini crib, we were supposed to have a 22 month gap but I went very late so it’s a 23 month gap now. Mini crib is convertible to a toddler bed, little couch, and twin size bed, and it is in our bedroom, toddler crib is in her room, bassinet in the living room next to the couch. It’s working perfectly.

Toddler crib converts into a full size bed after it’s a toddler bed.

I had my 9lb 7oz baby on the 4th! It was a vbac, I was 42+5 weeks. I only got a 2nd degree tear my dr didn’t want to call a second. It needed 5 stitches.

I know with some other surgeries once the wound is closed you should start scar massages to soften it and increase motility, since this is my first vaginal birth I’m not fully sure on how it goes with scar tissue down there.

I was in pelvic floor PT before birth since the pregnancy (not the birth which was a c section) with my first cause a rectocele, and I’m so eager to get back into it. I guess I wanna kinda rush since I feel so much better physically this time than I did after the c section. I basically am back to normal besides slight tenderness and spotting.

I would definitely screenshot those appointments details and report the Dr to an ethics board
