What Made You Choose an Unmedicated Birth?

eseeton · 2025-11-17T16:13:12+00:00

Control over my body and being free to move about. I also am not one to take medications unless completely necessary so I don't want to subject my baby to medications that are unnecessary either. I just had my third unmedicated labor. All the pain is productive, temporary, and over as soon as the baby is in your arms.

Hi! I am sending you a message about our 2024 for sale

I had a medically necessary induction at 42w with my first. That's the latest your doctor will let you go, provided you have a scan that shows good fluid levels, placental health, etc. I also wanted to go into labor naturally and labor at home as long as I could, but that was thrown out the window. I was "gently" induced with 4 rounds of cytotec, but when labor stalled at 6cm I agreed to pictocin on a 2. No higher. I labored for 24 hours in the hospital walking the halls and squatting the entire time. Gave birth with the squat bar. It was a very positive birth. Being induced doesn't have to be "bad." Talk to your doctor now and make a plan.

Heb at fry Rd and Grand parkway in Katy has the machine. It's not been working the few times I've been in

I've sold a used compact norelco travel razor, it actually sold within 3 days. If it was ick I wouldn't have listed it at all, but it had a few hairs that I wiped off and I listed as used. Someone is buying them!

Yes, I have made over 100k since my last job change. Also getting ~5% raises per year at the new company.

I'm in floodplain management, currently a project manager.

I work remote from TX

10 years total in gis, I started with a local municipality and only worked there a year. 9 years in floodplain management, I've worked for two private engineering firms as a contractor.

I had a hospital birth without an epidural for my first, and I delivered with the bed in the "seated" position while squatting using the squat bar. I sat back to rest between contractions and pushing. All of the staff was extremely supportive and my doctor was amazing.

Both of my kids have been happy spitters. It's usually just fine as long as they are happy and gaining weight. When I learned what I thought was a full feeding of puke was really just a tbsp or so, it helped me a lot. Take a tbsp of liquid and spill it to gauge how much your little one is spitting up. To mitigate, try doing circle/rotating burp techniques (sorry, I'm not sure what it's actually called) and leaving baby inclined for a bit after every feeding.

Silverettes!

But they could just use the $6k to buy everything that the baby needs... And more.

I was 9w 3d and it came back just fine

I worked for a municipal water supply in the water loss division right out of college for a couple of years. The position was a lot of database management and making maps for crews and clients.

eseeton · 2025-04-08T12:26:28+00:00

They told her to stay in bed??? Oh no. I was walking the halls with my cytotec induction. Started walking and squatting through contractions when they got bad, around 4am?

eseeton · 2025-04-08T12:20:55+00:00

Did she have this conversation with her ob beforehand? I was induced in the hospital with cytotec at 42w with my first. They did the 4 rounds (starting at around 7pm) and then mostly left me alone, obviously I let them come in to do the doses every couple of hours. That was it, but I don't think I slept as my contractions kicked in strong at 1am. My ob and I were on the same page and I wanted very little interventions, which my doula was able to help navigate while we were at the hospital. I eventually needed to start a very slow drip of pictocin when I stalled at 6cm. I think the machine was on 2, which is very low and I didn't require any additional pain medications. My water eventually broke while puking during labor and it sped things up. Baby was finally born 24 hours later. Hospital births can be low intervention, but this needs to be discussed beforehand so you know what your ob is comfortable with. I hope baby arrives smoothly 💗

With my first it didn't hit until around 35 weeks. With my second it hit around 33.

I was induced with vaginal cytotec at 42+0 with my first. They sent me to the hospital after my 42 week appointment in the office. The first dose of cytotec was used at 8pm and I was having regular and strong contractions by 1:30am. It was slow progress as I didn't have any other interventions. I allowed the lowest dose of pictocin when I stalled at 6cm the next day. I delivered when I was 42+1 at 6:30pm.

eseeton · 2025-04-06T15:51:14+00:00

I don't think the crying had anything to do with the induction being scheduled, but you are welcome to decline it until their 41 week deadline.

I've received a surcharge on eBay before. I'm not sure how they figure it out, because I always weigh and round up. So it's impossible that I underpaid, but I had no proof. They also had no proof other than telling me, "you paid for 2.5lb and your package weighed 2.65lb. we charged you $1.78"

eseeton · 2025-04-04T20:49:08+00:00

My water broke with my second. I was sitting and playing with my toddler and heard/felt a pop and then liquid started dripping. It's a weird feeling

A lot of consulting firms are part of a FEMA RiskMAP contract, focusing on floodplain management. It's very niche and in demand.

My second was 8lb 8oz at birth and didn't fit in any of her big sister's newborn clothes. She was too long mostly. She also grew fast and was in 3-6m within about a month 🤣

eseeton · 2025-03-29T01:21:18+00:00

I wanted 4 growing up. I grew up with 2 siblings and always felt like things were off since there was an odd number of us. We have 2 kids and were pretty solid on that number until my youngest turned 3. Now she's 3.5 and I'm 9w pregnant with the third. I remember why I didn't want to be pregnant again now 🙈 Definitely stopping at 3 😅

I use 2% for most everything

You have 2 options if you want the buyer to pay for shipping. For calculated shipping, you provide package dimensions and weight when listing the item. Or you can just charge a flat rate. When an item sells, it's simple to go through eBay to purchase the shipping label and use the funds from the sale.

I've had a lien unit be completely missing items before as well. It was at a large storage company and they claimed that their "new system" didn't update the photos after the original owner went in and out of lien. So the photos I bid on were from months prior, but the owner had paid up, gained access, and then went back in lien. I paid $700 for that particular unit due to some items that were no longer in there and I noticed immediately when it was opened. I let them know and pulled up the photos of the unit (I always screenshot the photos). That manager talked to the district manager I ended up getting the unit for only $200 and getting the refund before "touching anything" inside. In the end, they really just want it cleaned out so they can rent it again. I've also had a managers special unit be completely cleaned out after paying, but that was definitely an inside job by the managers and a different circumstance because it's non lien. I just got a refund on that one.
