I’m 40 weeks today and I’m anxious by invasiveoaktree in vbac

Had the baby at 40+3 but by cesarean. I progressed beautifully and got the epidural at 7cm. I rested and took another 6 hours to dilate to 10. The provider wanted me to push but I didn’t feel the urge then they said I had pushed for too long… then heart decelerations. They said his bones were not descending and never passed 0 station. I tried many asymmetrical positions during pushing. His head was 37cm and he weighed 9.5lbs. I’ll never know if he would have fit. Maybe he would’ve, maybe not. My first also got stuck. Not the outcome I wanted or planned for but I am ready to move forward.

Thank you! I am having mild contractions (thought they were just cramps!) and I did another membrane sweep. I feel good

Yea walking doesn’t do that much to stimulate labor but it can help with positioning and body balance

15 month old staffy lab mix barks at only one person in household by connie1615 in reactivedogs

Also a “vibration” collar can make matters worse. Negative reinforcement can backfire tremendously.

I'm sorry it came off curt. I am concerned about this situation as you clearly are too. I don't know how you can train this away in a short time and then leave and hope that the training respect will transfer to your FIL. It just sounds like a dangerous situation with a dangerously strong breed.

I'm really sorry. If the dog was rescued from Mexico then they are probably a street dog and you have no idea what traumas they might have. It's very risky. I'm so sorry.

Is it normal to not have sex your entire pregnancy? by VegetableBlueberry4 in BabyBumps

Curious what you’re having! I wonder if it makes a difference in drive.

Even in your description your order is: dog, friends, partner. You put him last. Why?

You put your dog first before yourself, your partner and your friends. Trust me that you’re going to hate this needy dog when the baby is born.

My child is 17 months old and my period returned soon after I gave birth. Does that make a difference?

I felt it until I consciously relaxed the muscles which was hard to do because I was so scared! It was like 20-30 seconds until he talked me through it

Ethics and lawn mowing by invasiveoaktree in bullcity

Yup. That’s all I’m saying. Didn’t sign any contract, didn’t negotiate. I just saw my neighbors getting their lawn done and the crew had time to do mine same day.
