• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Please Pray!

Hello everyone! Tomorrow morning I am going in for a procedure to HOPEFULLY help jump start my labor! Dario and I have never dealt with these kinds of things before and we are really praying that it works since it will be the last step before chemical induction! Please pray that everything goes well and it works and we have a healthy baby boy this week! Thank you! :pray:

Didn't know they had a procedure between natural labor start and chemical induction. With my wife they went straight to induction. Of course that was in part due to the size of the child who was 11 pounds 3 oz.

Will pray for you though.

Prayers for you Tangled and Dario.

My daughter is due this week and the doctor offered to do the same for her, but daughter opted to wait it out.

Luther, when close to term, doctors may opt to strip the membranes or break the water to get labor started. If that doesn't work then they go to the pitocin. I am guess this is what Tangled is doing today.

Another procedure that is becoming more and more common is to inflate a foley catheter in the cervix as a way of starting dilation without using drugs. This is enough to stimulate labor in many cases. They did this for my wife three years ago and it started the ball rolling quite well, though she did eventually need to have pitocin.

Prayers going up for you Tangled and Dario. May our Lord provide you with all the strength and grace you need for this wonderful event.
