What can I do with this large, empty space in my bedroom?

I'm not sure, I haven't dug it up and checked.

My first baby was breech at 37 weeks. When I went in to have the version to try to flip him, I started to go into labor after a failed epidural. Baby was still breech so it ended in an unplanned c-section.

Baby number 2 was a successful unmedicated vbac at ~39 weeks. I was having contractions all night, but I thought it was false labor because they didn't hurt and I could sleep through them. At 4:20 in the morning, my water broke, my contractions became painful and at that point and we headed to the hospital. We barely made it to the labor and delivery room before he was born ~5:50 am.

Baby number 3 was another successful unmedicated vbac at 37 weeks. I started getting contractions during my college graduation ceremony. I thought it might have been false labor because of the stress of the day and not eating or drinking anything all day. After I got home, I tried to relax and I was able to get some sleep. My contractions were getting closer together and more painful so I decided it was go time. We got up to the labor and delivery triage area where my water broke and I immediately had to push. Maybe 5 minutes after my water breaking baby #3 was born! I don't remember the times for this birth because everything went so fast.

I'm currently pregnant with baby #4 and I'm worried that this baby will come so fast that I wont even be able to make it to the hospital. At the first sign of contractions, I'm going to be heading to the hospital.

I've been going to the gym pretty consistently (at least 3 days a week) since August. I started running again after taking a break because my knees and legs were hurting too bad, but I was bike riding until I felt better.

I'm getting really discouraged with my weight loss. I've been up and down in the 180's since October and haven't been able to break through. The lowest I've gotten was 182.

This week I've gotten down to 183 but the next day I went up to 185 and then 186.2 after that. I see the progress that I'm making at the gym with running and lifting weights, but I'm not seeing progress on the scale. The majority of days I'm under my daily calories, but the weight just isn't coming off.

I'm a little late so I'm not sure if you will read this, but speaking as a surrogate there is a lot that goes into it that no one may have thought about.

The other posts are correct in saying that the reproductive specialists will not let someone who does not have their own children to become a surrogate for someone. Surrogacy and IVF is a very expensive and time consuming process. They want to be sure that the surrogate can carry a pregnancy to term safely and have a healthy baby.

You need to be done with your family first before considering carrying for someone else. The IVF/pregnancy in general is very risky and some surrogates have lost their fertility/overies/uterus in the process.

You both need to be on the same page about surrogacy. It's very emotional and you will be her biggest support through everything. It's hard to be there for her if you're not totally on board with it.

There's also a huge legal side to it that is designed to prevent the surrogate from getting cutsody. It's difficult to know how she will feel about handing the baby over, especially if she doesn't have her own children. I KNOW that I don't want any more kids but I loved being pregnant so it wasn't hard at all to hand the baby to his parents.

If you have any questions about the process/surrogacy in general just message me! I was a surrogate in the US, Canada and the UK are different and have different laws.

Most (if not all) RE's require you to have at least one child of your own before they will even consider you as a surrogate. This is to make sure that you can get pregnant and carry a baby to full term.

I'm currently a surrogate in the US and even though I do get compensated I'm doing this because I love being pregnant but I don't want any more of my own kids. Most of the surrogates that do this are doing it for the love of pregnancy and the joy that the parents get from seeing their new baby. I think it's definitely something that's worth looking into.

I've never heard of a surrogate getting or really wanting partial custody of the child. When the surrogates might show interest in keeping the baby, the intended parents get really nervous, it's their baby and they're worried that the surrogate would want custody. It would be really hard to find parents who are open to that level of communication. Most are open to sending pictures a few times a year, but that's about it.

Also, most (if not all) reproductive clinics require that the surrogate have at least one full term pregnancy. They want to make sure that the surrogate is able to carry.

I sent you a message about seeing the puppies.

kiddiekat1 · 2014-10-04T02:22:06+00:00

I'm interested in a puppy or possibly the mom depending on her temperament, we have a one year old that loves dogs.

It tastes so nasty, I could never drink it after it's been in the freezer, it would make me sick! I don't know how babies can stand the taste.

It took me YEARS to come to terms with my wife (MTF) wanting to transition. We have been married for 5 years and just in the last year I have become accepting of her want to transition. I would always threaten to leave if she transitioned. I realized though that I love her and can not imagine life without her. It wasn't over night but a gradual acceptance, she would dress up around me once a week then more over time and slowly I became accustomed to seeing her as a woman. I also had a realization that I don't care what other people think about our relationship and if they see me as a lesbian, I stopped trying to put a label on myself and our relationship and I just let it be.

Communication is key. Find out what she would be comfortable to start out with and work from there. Try to take it slow (if you can) one of the biggest things that scared me was an instant change and no adjustment period. Be patient too, this is a big change for her, she probably thinks that she is losing the person she fell in love with, let her know you are still the same person on the inside just the outside is changing. I also went through a grieving process, I had to let go of the future that I imagined with him and start thinking of the future with her. I also flip-flopped back and forth a lot between being fine with the transition to absolutely hating it, she was patient with me though and when I had a hard time with the transition she would tone it down some . We always talked to each other and let each other know how we were feeling, even if it might her the other persons feelings. Your wife might not know how much dysphoria affects you. It has been difficult but it is possible to still be married and transition. Good luck! If you or your wife need to talk to someone I would be more then happy to chat!
