    first of all congrats!!

    was the baby planned?

    labor at home as long as possible!! look up 5-1-1! wait for the contractions to be every 5 mins, contraction lasting 1 minute long for 1 consecutive hour! and yessss keep distracting yourself!! shower, watch your comfort show, eat!! it’s the best because the longer you’re in your comfort environment, the more safe you and baby feel and it’ll be a quicker delivery! i love labor lol

    How do you pick a name?

  17. warden976 Avatar

    Going for the epidural? Get for the epidural. If not, please update us with the pain and if you can, compare it to a tooth that needs root canal. I tried myself to compare, but I was induced and when they said I’d have 10 hours of contractions coming every minute or so I opted for the epidural. The Pitocin drip made it unfair.

    How hard was it to choose names, and what’s the name that almost made it :)? Wishing you a quick and easy labor 💜

    I hope the delivery goes well, congratulations! When do you think you will go to the hospital? Do you have any names planned? (Unrelated) what is your favorite restaurant?

    Is it worth it?? I’m pregnant with my first (15 weeks) and have been so sick and hated every minute of it.

    Ooooh. Exciting times. Have faith your body knows what to do! Who is going to be at the birth with you?

  25. Seuss221 Avatar

    How are you doing? Are your birthquakes (contractions 😂) bad

  26. Beth_L_29 Avatar

    Good luck. One of the most painful and terrifying things – BUT SO worth it. My daughter is 14 months old now.

    How many children do you want?

  27. Silent_Attitude_1655 Avatar

    For the next couple of hours, you’ll be in labor probably; Hopefully it goes fast. When did your water break? How did you react?

  28. Fun-Experience6642 Avatar

    What’s packed in your hospital bag? I’m 30w with our first and I have no idea what I need and what she’ll need.

    If you had a conversation with a newly pregnant woman, what would you tell her based on your own experience?

    Is the prematureness going to impact delivery method for some reason?

    Remember to BREATHE. It’s so important! Breathe, breathe, breathe! And push when they tell you to.

    Remember when you think to yourself “I can’t do this” that you are actually DOING IT. There’s only one way forward! Best of luck
