For example, 66 is for nursing. A random comparison being: does a Labor & Delivery (66G) nurse make more than a Perioperative (66E) nurse? Do Nurse Anesthetists (66F) make more? Is there any resource that details this information? This does not include time already served in the military, but base pay. Are all positions based on rank and time in service? Any input is appreciated.

Hello, I somehow ended up on the British side of tiktok been seeing a lot of videos of women laboring with laughing gas. Why is this not a common thing in America? Especially for people who don’t want an epidural but want some pain management.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the MotheOffspring, Nurturing/Support, Teaching/Education Resource Network, or? M.O.N.S.T.E.R. Nursery. My name is Sassy, short for Sasquatch. Yes, THAT sasquatch. Are there other kinds?! I'm a HCC (Healthcare Cryptid) here at the nursery. I also teach humans the survival basics of coming across a baby monster in the woods.
Anyhoo, you're probably wondering why Sasquatch are utilized as Labor and Delivery nurses. It's simple, really. We're natural born mothers. You see, we just love babies! We always have! All of that nonsense about whooping, tree knocking and vocalizations that we do in the woods when you guys are camping? Don't get scared! That's just us shouting out to our boys letting them know we have humans in the woods! Humans could possibly have a BABY with them. Now, I don't like to judge based on looks, but those bald human babies are so ugly? They're cute! Poor little things look like they have mange, though. Who would think a bald puppy is cute? Ew.
I digress. So, when it came to the M.O.N.S.T.E.R. Nursery? We were the natural choice. Even though I happen to be female? History tells us that male nursery nurses happen to have the best bonding with our little devils. Well, little devils and whoever else was born that day. Just look at Chewy over there bonding with that litter of werewolf pups born on the last full moon. He's so maternal? He's practically a breast.
Now, all babies are not created equal. Have you ever wondered which monster's baby is the loudest? I can promise you that you'd rather listen to that werewolf pup litter any day over being 5 minutes late with Baby Siren Head's bottle. I had a headache for a week. When Vlad and Countess Bathory had their little undead bundle of joy last month? You'd be surprised how quick a Bigfoot can prick and milk their finger to get a fresh bottle of nutritious blood for that adorable, pale little parasite. He definitely had a healthy appetite, especially if you were B positive. Vlad and Countess Bathory couldn't have been happier. Patient satisfaction has always been a priority for HCCs (Healthcare Cryptid) since day one! We've never gotten below a 5 on the Jack Link's scale of 0 - 5 jerkies. We are collectively very proud of this fact! It's such an accomplishment for Bigfoot and all of Sasquatch kind.
Okay, I could understand why you think we're a little full of ourselves. I, mean, when Sasquatch are the chosen ones to be the top requested HCC? It's a far fall to the 2nd position. Look, we can't all be God's Chosen Ones. Yes, he exists. Yes, he created us. You're getting distracted, again. We aren't all going to argue semantics on what is Creationism and what is Darwinism and all of that. I'm too busy trying to teach incompetent, um cough cough, INTERESTED humans how to provide the most basic care for any creature's neonates (medical term for newborn) that they might stumble across while enjoying hiking, camping, fishing, etc. The priority? The newborn. Additional concerns?
1) MotheFather finding humans around newborn and attacking them.
2) Humans treating the scenario like an episode of "Jack Ass" and thinking it's a good idea to "mess with" the newborn and? Again? Mom/Dad attacks them.
3) Basically? A human breathing will set Mom/Dad off. Most creatures just don't want humans around. They can't be trusted. Sorry, Guys. It's been that way every since you refused to credit Chewy in the '67 Patterson–Gimlin film.
So? Your first reaction, if you see a baby creature? Look for it's parents. If you see them? Run. Run fast. Like, put Forrest Gump to shame kinda runnin'. Those parents don't want you there for any reason at all. Pick 'em up and put 'em down the whole way back down the trail.
If you don't see the parents? Proceed slowly and with caution. Now, don't let everything I've said scare you into not helping a baby monster. They're babies, after all. Please, check on them. Just be aware of your surroundings so as not to frighten the wood creatures which will, in turn, attack you. Then? It's just a bad day for everyone involved.
So? Depending on the woodland creature? You'll want to know what action you need to take to help the baby and? Hopefully? Survive assisting. The first thing you'll want to do is call out/whistle, whatever you have to do to try to get someone's attention. Look around and listen. What do you see and hear? If it's nothing? Again, proceed with caution. If you hear howling, growling, tree knocking, whooping, any of these things? Leave, either their parents are still around or we're there and will then takeover. I know. It's confusing to try to tell when we're tree knocking hoping you have a baby with you or if we know there's a baby around and we don't want you around the baby. Really, if at all possible, just don't mess with the babies if you don't have to. With that having been said? Let's proceed!
As you cautiously approach? Keep making noise letting everyone know you're there. We don't want to scare the life, or afterlife, out of these little ones. They're at their most vulnerable right now. Let's use Chewy's patients today as an example. You traipse along and stumble over a werewolf den. Well, that's not something you see every day. You hear soft whimpering. About 4 or 5 little werewolf pup heads pop up out of the den. How's everyone looking? Is anyone hurt? No? Then check your supplies. It just so happens you were successful fishing earlier. Werewolf pups love fish almost as much as moonbathing and cutting their baby teeth on a human femur. They'll be thankful, the Alpha male and female will be thankful and you'll really be thankful. You get to walk away, karma and limbs intact.
Next? It would be highly likely that you'd come across a wendigo, skinwalker, rake slenderman, etc. besides just a litter of werewolf pups. Try to prepare yourself as much as possible for these encounters. The better prepared? The better off everyone will be. The best part? These creatures won't want your everlasting soul in infancy. Those challenges don't present until adolescence. So? Enjoy the respite for the moment. Now? No matter what the situation? You'll always want to approach with caution and announce your arrival. It's saved not only many a human? It's saved a lot of cryptids as well. Try to have some sort of food item on you that's rather filling. You'd prefer that over them making YOU the food item.
So, as we proceed down the trail, there's a cabin to the left and it's the last house but do not enter, please. The last good hearted Samaritan did and, well, let's just say he had a run in with a girl locked in the cellar who wasn't quite herself. That's probably about the most PC way of explaining demonic possession. Anyhoo, there was bad press for a year and visitors to the park fell off, it just was a big mess. They ended up doing some kind of cybernetic enhancement and now the good Samaritan has a chainsaw for an arm. He's done a great job keeping them all in line. Overall? That was one we got right.
Since I brought up Vlad and the Countess Bathory's bouncing little bundle of bloodsucker? It's important to know that if you are in your domicile, and R.V.'s count, vampires cannot enter without an invitation from you. So, if you are camping in your R.V. and someone comes knocking late at night? Don't answer. If they aren't a vampire? They can come back the next day. If they don't come back? You definitely made the right decision. Now, the problem is? If you encounter a vampire in the wild. Hopefully? They've already set their sights on whoever they picked that night to be their victim. If not? A dropper of Holy Water as perfume on either side of your neck is a nice deterrent. Again, if the little count is there by himself? He's clearly gotten away from the castle. He needs returned immediately. Go to the nearest tree that displays a "break in case of emergency" box. Break the glass, take the bag of beef jerky out, shake it. Every Sasquatch in a 5 mile radius will come running to you. Point the baby vampire out and we'll be glad to take it from there.
Something I should bring up to our do-gooders ready to risk it all: if you can't swim? Don't try to help aquatic creatures. It won't end well. It never does. Little fry just aren't acclimated to landlubbers. Merpups are tough for even us to handle. They get scared, you can't swim, bad things happen. So? If you're determined to help any baby monster no matter where they reside? Take swimming lessons. You'll thank me. Trust me on this.
Don't let the fae trip you up, either. They're mischievous. They'll also try to sneak a changeling in on you if you do bring your human babies to the forest. If you respect walking around fairy rings and respect mother nature? The fae shouldn't be an issue. If you don't? Well, you were warned.
So, what have we not covered? Flying creatures. Yes, they present a challenge even we Sasquatch find difficult. It's hard to assess the needs of a baby that's wrapped in the arms of a mother flying 75 feet above your head. Even though the task is daunting? It's a challenge we'll definitely take on. We just watch and wait for Mom to go on the hunt and we take a peak at that tiny little velociraptor in that nest, with it's mouth hanging wide open, just awaiting a morsel. Now, the Mothman's baby was an experience. Cocoons are just something you have to see for yourself, especially when they're 6 feet tall. It's truly fascinating!
I think that covers everything for today's lesson. Bear in mind, we're beginning the summer season here in the U.S. Encounters are going to increase between cryptids and humans so be aware and care when it comes to our babies. We're aware and care when it comes to yours. Stay safe and Sasquatch on!

I’m 17 weeks and up until the last few weeks I was set on having an elective c-section, even mentioned it with my dr. My last labor was over 24 hours long, basically almost a failed induction? Back labor, two failed epidurals, Pitocin contractions, postpartum hemorrhage, emergency surgery to stop the bleeding 2 hours after birth and not being able to see my son until a day and a half later. Worst pain I ever had, it was just awful. My Dr was supportive of my choice and said whatever choice I make is up to me but was really trying to convince me to attempt a vaginal delivery again. I truly feel like my anxiety won’t be able to take it. I want to have a date and time planned, know when my baby will be here, I really don’t want to go through a long labor again, possibly failed epidural again, etc. I’m just really nervous about the procedure and the recovery too. Anyone have any experience with an elective? I will have help afterwards, but I do have a needy (will be 3 then) year old that needs me too. Thank you

Werewolf pups love fish almost as much as moonbathing and cutting their baby teeth on a human femur. They'll be thankful, the Alpha male and female will be thankful and you'll really be thankful. You get to walk away, karma and limbs intact.
Next? It would be highly likely that you'd come across a wendigo, skinwalker, rake slenderman, etc. besides just a litter of werewolf pups. Try to prepare yourself as much as possible for these encounters. The better prepared? The better off everyone will be. The best part? These creatures won't want your everlasting soul in infancy. Those challenges don't present until adolescence. So? Enjoy the respite for the moment. Now? No matter what the situation? You'll always want to approach with caution and announce your arrival. It's saved not only many a human? It's saved a lot of cryptids as well. Try to have some sort of food item on you that's rather filling. You'd prefer that over them making YOU the food item.
So, as we proceed down the trail, there's a cabin to the left and it's the last house but do not enter, please. The last good hearted Samaritan did and, well, let's just say he had a run in with a girl locked in the cellar who wasn't quite herself. That's probably about the most PC way of explaining demonic possession. Anyhoo, there was bad press for a year and visitors to the park fell off, it just was a big mess. They ended up doing some kind of cybernetic enhancement and now the good Samaritan has a chainsaw for an arm. He's done a great job keeping them all in line. Overall? That was one we got right.
Since I brought up Vlad and the Countess Bathory's bouncing little bundle of bloodsucker? It's important to know that if you are in your domicile, and R.V.'s count, vampires cannot enter without an invitation from you. So, if you are camping in your R.V. and someone comes knocking late at night? Don't answer. If they aren't a vampire? They can come back the next day. If they don't come back? You definitely made the right decision. Now, the problem is? If you encounter a vampire in the wild. Hopefully? They've already set their sights on whoever they picked that night to be their victim. If not? A dropper of Holy Water as perfume on either side of your neck is a nice deterrent. Again, if the little count is there by himself? He's clearly gotten away from the castle. He needs returned immediately. Go to the nearest tree that displays a "break in case of emergency" box. Break the glass, take the bag of beef jerky out, shake it. Every Sasquatch in a 5 mile radius will come running to you. Point the baby vampire out and we'll be glad to take it from there.
Something I should bring up to our do-gooders ready to risk it all: if you can't swim? Don't try to help aquatic creatures. It won't end well. It never does. Little fry just aren't acclimated to landlubbers. Merpups are tough for even us to handle. They get scared, you can't swim, bad things happen. So? If you're determined to help any baby monster no matter where they reside? Take swimming lessons. You'll thank me. Trust me on this.
Don't let the fae trip you up, either. They're mischievous. They'll also try to sneak a changeling in on you if you do bring your human babies to the forest. If you respect walking around fairy rings and respect mother nature? The fae shouldn't be an issue. If you don't? Well, you were warned.
So, what have we not covered? Flying creatures. Yes, they present a challenge even we Sasquatch find difficult. It's hard to assess the needs of a baby that's wrapped in the arms of a mother flying 75 feet above your head. Even though the task is daunting? It's a challenge we'll definitely take on. We just watch and wait for Mom to go on the hunt and we take a peak at that tiny little velociraptor in that nest, with it's mouth hanging wide open, just awaiting a morsel. Now, the Mothman's baby was an experience. Cocoons are just something you have to see for yourself, especially when they're 6 feet tall. It's truly fascinating!
I think that covers everything for today's lesson. Bear in mind, we're beginning the summer season here in the U.S. Encounters are going to increase between cryptids and humans so be aware and care when it comes to our babies. We're aware and care when it comes to yours. Stay safe and Sasquatch on!

Let me be the first to welcome you to the MotheOffspring, Nurturing/Support, Teaching/Education Resource Network, or? M.O.N.S.T.E.R. Nursery. My name is Sassy, short for Sasquatch. Yes, THAT sasquatch. Are there other kinds?! I'm a HCC (Healthcare Cryptid) here at the nursery. I also teach humans the survival basics of coming across a baby monster in the woods.
Anyhoo, you're probably wondering why Sasquatch are utilized as Labor and Delivery nurses. It's simple, really. We're natural born mothers. You see, we just love babies! We always have! All of that nonsense about whooping, tree knocking and vocalizations that we do in the woods when you guys are camping? Don't get scared! That's just us shouting out to our boys letting them know we have humans in the woods! Humans could possibly have a BABY with them. Now, I don't like to judge based on looks, but those bald human babies are so ugly? They're cute! Poor little things look like they have mange, though. Who would think a bald puppy is cute? Ew.
I digress. So, when it came to the M.O.N.S.T.E.R. Nursery? We were the natural choice. Even though I happen to be female? History tells us that male nursery nurses happen to have the best bonding with our little devils. Well, little devils and whoever else was born that day. Just look at Chewy over there bonding with that litter of werewolf pups born on the last full moon. He's so maternal? He's practically a breast.
Now, all babies are not created equal. Have you ever wondered which monster's baby is the loudest? I can promise you that you'd rather listen to that werewolf pup litter any day over being 5 minutes late with Baby Siren Head's bottle. I had a headache for a week. When Vlad and Countess Bathory had their little undead bundle of joy last month? You'd be surprised how quick a Bigfoot can prick and milk their finger to get a fresh bottle of nutritious blood for that adorable, pale little parasite. He definitely had a healthy appetite, especially if you were B positive. Vlad and Countess Bathory couldn't have been happier. Patient satisfaction has always been a priority for HCCs (Healthcare Cryptid) since day one! We've never gotten below a 5 on the Jack Link's scale of 0 - 5 jerkies. We are collectively very proud of this fact! It's such an accomplishment for Bigfoot and all of Sasquatch kind.
Okay, I could understand why you think we're a little full of ourselves. I, mean, when Sasquatch are the chosen ones to be the top requested HCC? It's a far fall to the 2nd position. Look, we can't all be God's Chosen Ones. Yes, he exists. Yes, he created us. You're getting distracted, again. We aren't all going to argue semantics on what is Creationism and what is Darwinism and all of that. I'm too busy trying to teach incompetent, um cough cough, INTERESTED humans how to provide the most basic care for any creature's neonates (medical term for newborn) that they might stumble across while enjoying hiking, camping, fishing, etc. The priority? The newborn. Additional concerns?
1) MotheFather finding humans around newborn and attacking them.
2) Humans treating the scenario like an episode of "Jack Ass" and thinking it's a good idea to "mess with" the newborn and? Again? Mom/Dad attacks them.
3) Basically? A human breathing will set Mom/Dad off. Most creatures just don't want humans around. They can't be trusted. Sorry, Guys. It's been that way every since you refused to credit Chewy in the '67 Patterson–Gimlin film.
So? Your first reaction, if you see a baby creature? Look for it's parents. If you see them? Run. Run fast. Like, put Forrest Gump to shame kinda runnin'. Those parents don't want you there for any reason at all. Pick 'em up and put 'em down the whole way back down the trail.
If you don't see the parents? Proceed slowly and with caution. Now, don't let everything I've said scare you into not helping a baby monster. They're babies, after all. Please, check on them. Just be aware of your surroundings so as not to frighten the wood creatures which will, in turn, attack you. Then? It's just a bad day for everyone involved.
So? Depending on the woodland creature? You'll want to know what action you need to take to help the baby and? Hopefully? Survive assisting. The first thing you'll want to do is call out/whistle, whatever you have to do to try to get someone's attention. Look around and listen. What do you see and hear? If it's nothing? Again, proceed with caution. If you hear howling, growling, tree knocking, whooping, any of these things? Leave, either their parents are still around or we're there and will then takeover. I know. It's confusing to try to tell when we're tree knocking hoping you have a baby with you or if we know there's a baby around and we don't want you around the baby. Really, if at all possible, just don't mess with the babies if you don't have to. With that having been said? Let's proceed!
As you cautiously approach? Keep making noise letting everyone know you're there. We don't want to scare the life, or afterlife, out of these little ones. They're at their most vulnerable right now. Let's use Chewy's patients today as an example. You traipse along and stumble over a werewolf den. Well, that's not something you see every day. You hear soft whimpering. About 4 or 5 little werewolf pup heads pop up out of the den. How's everyone looking? Is anyone hurt? No? Then check your supplies. It just so happens you were successful fishing earlier.

I am a 34 year old female who has had two previous vaginal births. I was induced at 41 weeks and 3 days with my first daughter and her delivery was vacuum-asssisted. For my second daughter I was induced at 40 weeks (due to elevated blood pressure) and during her delivery she experienced 1 minute of shoulder dystocia which was released by the doctor reaching up/releasing her shoulder. My first daughter was 8 lbs 3 oz and my second daughter was 8 lbs 1 oz. Both pregnancies were relatively uneventful and both girls have had healthy outcomes since birth.
For my third/current pregnancy I switched OBGYN offices due to insurance changes and from the start (8 weeks gestation) I have felt that they have been pressuring me to consider a c-section for this delivery bc there is a chance of shoulder dystocia happening again. I told them that I wanted to wait to see how big baby grew before committing. They told me that they agreed with my plan.
As this pregnancy has progressed, the following findings have come to light: -At the 20 weeks scan they found that baby has a hypercoiled cord (0.9 coiling index). -At my 32 week scan they found that baby is 97th percentile for size and that I have polyhydraminos (27.2 amniotic fluid index).
They repeated my glucose tolerance test and I passed with a score of 88. They have me doing NSTs twice a week and fluid scans weekly (there have been slight fluctuations in the level of fluid, but it remains high). They said that they will repeat her growth scan at 36 weeks but they told me that I now need to move forward with a c-section bc delivering her vaginally is “too risky”. Baby is due on July 7th and my c-section has been scheduled for July 3rd.
They told me that if I go into labor spontaneously before the c-section then I can try for a vaginal birth if I want to bc she will be smaller. I would prefer to try for a vaginal delivery if possible so I asked them if I could do an early induction before the c-section date and they refused bc “there is no medical indication to induce at 39 weeks”. I am feeling uneasy about the c-section bc I’m not 100% sure that it is necessary. If they were going to take her out via c-section at 39 weeks and 3 days then why is trying an induction at the same time such a ridiculous request?
Anyways, that was a really long spiel but my main questions here are…
Can a big baby or polyhydraminos be an indication for induction at 39 weeks? Is c-section really my only option here?

Are specs good for the price?

My research so far has told me that Edward Jones has a bad reputation, particularly for very high fees compared to the industry average. Searching Edward Jones in this subreddit specifically was actually very telling.
The reason Edward Jones initially seemed so attractive to me is because I don't have a background in finance, and they are very friendly towards people who are transitioning their careers. I also have a connection who is a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones who I respect a lot (they can't all be that bad). Anyways, that connection made the jump seem way more doable for someone like me who has always had a personal interest in personal finance and investing, but doesn't have the professional experience to back it up.
I recently moved to Columbia, SC where there seem to be quite a few opportunities with Edward Jones, but I am obviously a little uneasy about it given how much they charge their clients. One of my best friends is also a CFP with Fidelity, but unfortunately Fidelity isn't in Columbia. They're in Charleston, Greenville, and Charlotte nearby. It seems like there are potentially some opportunities with Merrill Lynch and Charles Schwab, but that definitely seems like it would be difficult for me to get into.
What are your thoughts on Financial Advisors as a whole, and/or which institution provides the best services?

7 months into doing d2d sales. I jumped on the job out of desperation but found out i really love sales. 44M bachelors degree in liberal studies. Worked at a startup for 8 years as a research analyst. In a medium sized city (Charleston, sc) with a burgeoning tech community.
I’ve had some interesting interviews for sales positions in tech sales, but no offers yet.
What am i missing? Should i take courses and/or certifications? If so, which ones?
Really appreciate this group, I’ve learned so much.

I gave birth a couple of months ago and I feel like I still haven't processed everything that happened. It seems like there's no space for me to feel anything because over the past year everyone around me has confirmed that my experience isn't important.
One side of my family spent months gaslighting and harassing me after I communicated my vision for how my family would interact with my baby (no more split holidays/celebrations or me driving across the state to accommodate everyone for every special occasion). I had to block them as my pregnancy got complicated most-likely due to stress.
Most healthcare professionals disregarded me and constantly told me that my body was inhospitable for my baby. It was like a downward spiral of excessive monitoring and interventions and me constantly fearing death/loss. It seemed like they prioritized not getting sued over my well-being. By the time I reached 40 weeks I decided to just give in and get induced to escape the excessive monitoring. I felt that my body was getting ready for labor but if I refused an induction I would have to go in for monitoring daily, even though the monitoring was causing me to feel panicked which would lead to me being sent to the ER.
I went in for the induction at 3cm, got through two rounds of the cervical ripening (6 hours) and delivered my baby in 7 minutes (no time for pain meds). Everyone congratulated me on having such an "easy" labor and getting the natural delivery I wanted, while I sat there in shock trying to put all of my focus on my baby.
After 3 days in the hospital we finally went home and had one day to bond as a family before my bfs mother flew up to visit us. To my surprise, she ended up staying and was planning to for a week, and bfs father was coming a few days later. She helped us by cooking and buying groceries, but also complained about our house, the kitchenware, our appliances, the temperature (too cold during winter in the northeast lol), our blankets, the list goes on. I mostly ignored this but it was stressful. She monitored and commented on what I was eating, she offered incorrect and unsolicited advice, she burst into my bedroom while I was half naked or trying to get alone time with baby. I had to clean the bathroom and carry my pads out in plastic bags to avoid more criticism, and she would watch me leave the bathroom from the kitchen. After bringing baby to multiple doctors appointments and hospitals in one day I wanted to wipe her down and she held my baby away from me because she didn't think I should clean her. It took everything in me not to go completely feral or burst into tears. I calmly took my baby from her arms and went into the bathroom.
I asked my bf multiple times to address this and tell her to keep her criticisms to herself, and he did but indirectly. More like correcting her after the fact or telling her to relax. It was relentless and after a few days, I resorted to locking myself and my baby in my room. I texted him that I was going to go stay with my mom and he was welcome to come and they could visit as much as they wanted. All hell broke loose.
My mom ended up reaching out to him and explaining that postpartum is indescribably difficult and extremely vulnerable, and me feeling stressed was not ideal. She explained that PPD can be dangerous for me and baby and she was concerned that this situation could lead us there. His response was that he did not want to kick his mom out after she traveled so far. His mom decided to pack all her things up and announced that she was going to stay with a cousin in another state, despite having multiple siblings/relatives to stay with in state. My bf flipped out on me and called me selfish and dramatic for making his mom feel like she did something bad. He then left for hours without answering his phone.
My mom came to be with me and ended up intercepting his mom and aunt as they came to gather her things. She flipped the story so that his mother couldn't be the victim anymore. "OP felt so embarrassed that you were so uncomfortable in her house and she can't clean and get things ready for you." etc. She was embarrassed when my mom repeated the comments she had made and came in and apologized to me. She blamed it on cultural differences (we have the same culture and the mother's mom usually comes to help after birth, not MIL). She located her son and got him to come back, where he proceeded to ignore me, my mom, and the baby. Then she and his aunt decided to go visit another relative out of state for the night. When they came back, she and his father spent the rest of the weekend visiting other relatives and going to brunch, etc. Even though I expressed I was totally fine with them visiting as much as they wanted, just not staying over. Her behavior just completely uprooted our lives/relationship but she continued to act like the victim in this situation.
After they flew back home, things were awkward between me and bf. He instigated an argument that led to us getting loud about the whole situation. He told me that I was dramatic and selfish for "making him" kick his mom out and that I should have sacrificed for a few days so that he could have his parents there. He told me that it's not his fault that I was raised so badly that I prefer to be alone, but he actually loves his parents and wants them around. I told him that the sacrifice I made was a 9 month pregnancy, unmedicated childbirth, and postpartum recovery and it's not outlandish to want to recover before having house guests. He was so mean I just burst into tears (I've cried less then 10 times in the 10 years we've been together) and he told me I was emotionally manipulative.
I later told him that he needs to go to therapy because I will not be around for his next outburst. He apologized and explained his deeper feelings and then"gave us space" for 6 hours aka left me to care for the newborn alone. Things have pretty much blown over, but I can't stop feeling resentful and betrayed.
I wake up most days so mad at him for doing exactly what everyone else did throughout my pregnancy. I don't know how I'm ever supposed to trust him or even want to have sex with him and it's been months. I physically can't, thankfully, but what happens when I don't have that excuse? I'm hoping it blows over but I just feel scared to even express my needs after this shitstorm of a year. The only silver lining is that I love my baby so much and she's everything I've always wanted. I'm grateful that we're both alive and healthy.

Labor and biological process

Like several biological processes, the method of labor and delivery is split into stages. The goal of the labor method is biological process, or the physical expulsion of the foetus from the mother's womb.
This method is accomplished through the employment of contractions. Now, i do know you are all in all probability aware of the term contraction. You know, your muscles contract and relax as you progress, right? Well, did you recognize that the contractions talked concerning throughout labor area unit the same as the muscle contractions that occur whereas you're walking, running, or simply going concerning everyday actions?
​
Labor and biological process
But, there's one massive distinction. The muscles you utilize to maneuver your legs and arms area unit voluntary and, for the foremost half, beneath your management. But, the womb is formed of an explicit kind of muscle referred to as a sleek muscle. This muscle is involuntary, that means the mother cannot management the contractions of the womb.
During true labor, contractions of the graceful muscles begin at the highest of the womb and move downward, toward the cervix, in regular intervals. this can be to not be confused with one thing referred to as contraction, wherever the womb contracts, however these contractions area unit irregular and don't aid in biological process.

The Stages of Labor

Okay, thus currently that we all know the overall methodology the womb uses to accomplish biological process (that would be those contractions we have a tendency to simply talked about), let's point out the stages of the labor method. There area unit 3 of those stages:

The dilation stage:

This begins once true labor starts.
