Long. Sorry.

Alright, how many of you have been talking to someone who clearly didn't know what they were talking about but they kept trying to convince you that you were wrong about what you were going through? Well, my friend texted me yesterday asking if the baby came yet. I told her no and that I had tried sex, walking, nipple stimulation, and even the oj+milk thing and nothing had worked. Her next text was her blowing up on me for having sex and calling me a bad mom because I was trying to force my baby out with gross, unnatural acts. I told her that first, just because I had sex with my husband doesn't mean I'm a bad mom and second, the worst thing the oj and milk could do to me was curdle up and make me puke. Then she told me that the oj and milk was the least harmful thing out of that list, that sex will only give me a bad infection and cause the baby to have birth defects, and that I should be ashamed of myself for what I'd done. I know the risks of sex during pregnancy. I'VE BEEN PREGNANT FOR ALMOST 40 WEEKS NOW. Has anyone else ever dealt with someone like that? I feel like she was trying to insult my intelligence by making up complete and utter crap.

Some people, I tell ya. Smh. And no, Kayla. I didn't even think they'd work. I've been eating nothing but spicy foods my whole pregnancy, but I honestly don't know if that would make me "immune" or if it doesn't matter that I ate it for so long. Lol. I'll give it a try, though.

Sex is ment to be really helpful as your husbands ejaculation will soften and stimulate your cervix.. by the sounds of things your friend hasnt got a clue.. dont bother trying to correct her it will get you stressed.. just wait till shes in your situation. But have you tried spicy currys? Its ment to help but im not sure.. good luck!

I'm like, uhm, I know lots of people that have kids, and some guys even say they like their ladys vag BETTER after having kids/a kid.

when I was pregnant with my daughter, I obviously wasn't drinking on Halloween, I was due the middle of January - a NURSE TO BE, actually told me, my baby was developed enough for the alcohol not to affect her. I'm like WOW, please go back to school. You're an idiot and I hope I NEVER see you working in a hospital lol.

No. No children at all. She's studying to be a dentist. And that's what I said! Lol. It just wasn't getting through to her. She also told me I'd need to have a c-section if I go over my due date.
