Was evening primrose oil helpful at inducing labor? If so how long did it take and if not what we’re your experiences?

My doctor gave me the okay to start inserting it vaginally and I’m really hoping it induces my labor before my due date on the 16th as doctors are pressuring me to get medically induced if not even though baby is perfectly healthy

Drs shouldn't be trying to pressure you into induction without a medical reason. You can most definitelt stand your ground, try a few things yourself, and then go with induction if little one goes over the due date by more than a few days. Definitely don't let them pressure you into something you don't want/need.

who here scoops the 🩸 out when they’re on their period???

was having a conversation with my friend (we’re both on our periods rn) and she’s a “scooper” which is when apparently some women when they start their periods go up in themselves and scoop all the uterine lining out so their period is only like 2-3 days long. I AM NOT A SCOOPER i never heard of it before this but it makes me curious to try and wondering if anyone else does and likes it or what 😆❤️

Friends?!?

So I've been on this app for a hot minute. I've talked to alot. Connected with even fewer. I am a full on mom. I have makeup..but do it sparingly. I let my hair do it's own thing most of the time. Putting pants on that don't stretch is a chore I don't need in my life. Fashion is ok but I choose comfort. I choose coffee and herbal teas over most alcohol these days. I do love a good glass of red wine thought. Hehe. I love dark humor. I laugh when I'm not supposed too. I am awkward and think my jokes are funny when they are not. I also have anxiety that I contestantly fight. I cuss like a sailor and I'm NOT an esthetic mom or perfect. I make mistakes daily. I also read alot including, but not limited to, dark romance and I have long before booktok became a thing. If I sound like your cup of tea with most of my flaws out on the open, message me. Peace love and health to yall.

Dealing with fomo of past life?

I’ve been in bed putting baby to sleep at 5:30pm on a Saturday and all my friends are going to events etc. I love my baby and wouldn’t change her for the world but omg every Saturday eve I get a really depressing feeling bc I can’t just go out. How are you guys dealing with the feeling of missing your old life where you were just free to roam??

Baby only wants me.

Hey, just wondering if anyone is in the same situation at the moment. My little girl literally won’t settle with anyone else, barely even her dad. If i’m in the room she wants only me and if i leave she just cry’s. She constantly has to be on me and I’m finding it sooo exhausting. Today i had to come home early and miss a meal out because she just wouldn’t settle and i just wanted a few hours and to actually enjoy a meal for once.
