    Oooh. How exciting!

    But, yikes, inducing is painful (pitocin sucks!) Keeping your wife in my thoughts and sending good vibes for an easy, fast labor!!!!

    And don't you pass out or anything. :emoji_joy:

    (Also, those tax breaks are awesome. You'll love them. Kids are fantastic tax reducers...)

    I actually said the same thing. I tried telling my wife it's nice and dark in there but apparently that's not nearly as funny when you are the one having contractions.

    I was induced for the same reason, after a day and a half of waiting for the drugs to work, they told me I had to undergo a C-Section because I wasn't dilated enough. That was fun....not!

    Yes and no.

    Raising Kiddo was much cheaper than everyone lead me to believe it is. Excepting the braces and saving for college. Otherwise, not that bad really. He costs money, sure, but I am not a parent who buys my kid the "best" of everything.

    Don't worry guys, already gave him the induction horror stories ;) My wife's first was 72-ish something hours of induction, which they did not tell us up front it could take that long. So it was kinda a psychological nightmare.

    Exactly what the doc said to expect. I guess prepare for the worst hope for the best kinda deal lol. He wouldn't even say what the general statistics were on outcomes as if it's not 2019 and we can't look it up anyway >.>

    My wife was almost at that point...they induced her at like 4pm and at midnight she still wasn't dilating enough. She was having contractions (according to the machine that gives a little number value of them anyway) but nada happened.


    Then at like 12:15am the kid was like lolnoimcomingnow. I think actual labor was like 5 minutes. Listen I know she had to deal with the physical side of things but I remember the coffee was VERY bitter at the hospital so we are basically even as far as I'm concerned.

    Also, the snack machine ate my dollar.

    My first didn't want to leave, either. I was 8 days overdue. I was not happy with her. Being pregnant after 8 months basically just sucks, and anything after that due date is pure hell.

    I even yelled at my stomach once, "Get the FBAD WORD out!!!" Such a loving mama I am.
