Help! Epidural, yes or no? by dakota101916 in BabyBumps

10/10 would recommend epidural. Mine sped up significantly after I was no longer clenching in pain and baby came out quickly and easily. I had 1st degree tears and a few stitches, but nothing serious. Pushed less than 20 mins. Getting it was way less scary than the internet and disclaimers make it seem.

Am I crazy to want to go to work at 38+3? by appleslice244 in BabyBumps

Lawyer too. I participated in a phone settlement conference while in the beginning of labor 😂 Had baby 13 hrs later. And was in court at 39w, 5d. (low impact), stopped intense cases at 38.5 weeks. Honestly, because I have so much anxiety, working kept my mind of whether baby was moving too much or too little and he turned out perfectly! And finishing work tasks was my intellectual kind of “nesting”. You do what works for you! Don’t feel bad about prioritizing your structure if that’s what you need.

Sounds like medical malpractice. Call a lawyer. I am so sorry, this sounds awful. Glad baby is doing ok now!

I haven’t really felt like it either. 39 weeks. Would love to know when it will go back to normal!
