Is this your first baby. I got induced last year it was my second birth. They had me come in at night like 10pm we started about 12am (we were late to the hospital) I had him at 10:08am. They did keep me in the hospital the entire process. Contractions didn’t get bad til about 6am but again this is my 2nd baby and each child I think I could have gone naturally if I didn’t mentally freak out. First baby my support system was crying and tired begging me to take it so I was like ok Second baby they said he would be out by 7am so when 6am came around and he wasn’t here I was like epidural me I’m done 😂😂

I got induced with my last two pregnancies and I stayed in the hospital. Labor varies with each pregnancy. My first son didn’t come til the next day, my second son came the same night I was checked in the hospital. Hopefully with this pregnancy she comes natural so I won’t have to get induced. Good luck 🤗

How long after your period do you ovulate? Like..usually anyway I keep tracking it with the strips but they never change in color.. I wanna try again for a baby but..I'm feeling discouraged.

It depends on your cycle length, but typically it’s 12 to 14 days before your next period.

hmm then I have a ways to go. Maybe near the end of the week I'll test it again to see if it's changed
