Anyone Here Want Kids or Trying to Conceive?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm actually thinking of doing it when I'm 30 if my partner is still with me then. I'd be lying if I said that part of me doesn't think this is a s**t idea, but he is basing his whole life around the idea of having children (preferably with me at the moment) and it's an aspect of life I'm curious about that I'll never get to experience unless I bite the bullet and do it. I'm expecting it to be pretty horrific, though.

I almost feel pre-emptively sorry for this non-existent baby I might have.

Induction now set for next Friday the 13th unless he comes before then.

Oh no.

She arrived a month ago with spontaneous natural delivery. Everything was better this time but I experienced afterbirth labor and because I had no epidural, I was not so apathetic and I felt when I was hungry and when I had to pee and I felt more energy to move around. Plus the pain down there didn't last as long and I wasn't as sore. This time my labor lasted about four hours (guessing) and I had her in an hour after arrival and I didn't feel her come out when I pushed but it was really uncomfortable when I was crowning. I wasn't prepared for a natural birth. I went 39 weeks again and had her at exactly 39 weeks like I did with my child. My body never seems to want to go 40 weeks lol and my body was so desperate to get rid of this child so the labor went very fast and the contractions felt different this time, sharper pain and the baby dropped the day I went into labor, last time there was no baby dropping until I was in the hospital.

It was like the Keystone Cops in the delivery room because everything went so fast and they had to rush around and they were dealing with a c section and three other deliveries and we had one anesthesiologist so I had to wait on him and he was about to put one in me when I started to crown. we didn't even get the chance to take lot of pictures or movies or even see her come out of me with the mirror because it happened that quick. But the battery died anyway on my camera so we only got four pictures of her in the hospital. Oh well lot of parents tend to take a bunch with their first and not as many with their second. My body just had to pick the wrong night for labor lol.

Yea... I was hoping I could talk my body into going on it's own, still am, but it seems like I have absolutely no control over it now. The things that I did to stimulate contractions are now quite ineffective. So just left hoping with 6 days to go.


League Girl- Well congratuations a little late! I'm wondering how much I'll feel. I feel like I feel some contractions quite a bit, and not at all on others. So could go either way. Guess I'll find out soon!

I personally think any of you trying to conceive do no have the right to do so, you are violating another person's rights by not getting their conscent to join this ride. you do not have the right to create life, in a broken world. GG.

You dont fix broken worlds by whining. Best regards, your engineer for environmental development. (And yop, we are on a bad path, but the world is not broken yet, so it´s our job to get our asses moving and change things to the better, instead of whining. )

In the hospital for high blood pressure. They are keeping me overnight for observation, and will discuss possible induction tomorrow.

I had low blood pressure and needed transfusions.

Good luck ! How far along are you, btw ?

ALMOST THERE ! !! Congratulations !

I am happy. that everything went well for you and was rather short. Shaybugz should as well already have her little one in her arms. I am jealous for you both, that you can actually cuddle your kids now.

Mine is still a little troublemaker. Not gigantic, but a bit larger then average, still no head down, but instead head up left, and additional his backside up right. So he is crossing my belly with his feet down, kicking into my bladder and uterus. (Which he does a lot, because his positions seem to suck for him as well, so he tries moving several times a day, but dont make it.)) And according to my last check in hospital, the smaller "waves" (muscle movement to get the baby more down into the hip direction) already has started, but I did not really feel them, which bothers me a bit. (I have some troubles with sensory issues and I am afraid, that I might not check it early, when the real labour movements are starting.) And because of the little dreamer in my belly refusing to get set in my hips, there is a risc, that when the final labor "waves" are starting, he could get suddenly pressed down into my hip area, and be squeezing his "supply-cord", ....

But actually, beside his non-optimal position he is healthy and well developed, so if there is big big luck and he manages to get his head down, we can try normal labor, and if he insists to stay in his weird position, he will get cut out by c-section, and the doc will give him a little clap for causing that troubles without need. ^^ If labor does not start on its own until then, and if he does not turn until then, then second July will most likely be the day. (4th July would be the calculated day.)

Little Lars managed to be completely wrapped up in his "supply cord" in my womb. Daddy was sadly not allowed to cut through it, because the doctors needed to do so inside my womb during the c-section, or they would not have got him out. Actual dayplan: Feeding - backpatting - cuddling, trying to get my stuff done, when he sleeps. ^^ Daddy joked a bit, because he wanted to have a small Air condition since always, but Mommy was always against it. But if little Lars suffers from summer heat, he gets one within one day. ^^

CONGRATZ!! !!

He is a cutie, congratulations.
