2 weeks and counting

Alright girls. All of you that are due within the next 2 weeks, what are we doing?

We have the full moon tomorrow which hopefully will kick start labor for some of us.

- I tried pineapple last week, but that just put me into false labor.
- Eggplant parm for dinner last week: nada
- walked 2 miles outside yesterday: nothing ( well besides tone of pressure in the vagina all last night but led to nothing)
- BEGGING DH to tonight AND tomorrow night so we can fully embrace all that the full moon has to offer.

Also, where is everyone planning on delivering? I'm hoping for South Nassau. I was there last week for my "false labor" and I loved it

Re: 2 weeks and counting

Not really doing much... just continuing life as normal. Don't really put much stock into those old wives tales, lol. I figure when she's ready she's ready, although I'd like her out sooner rather than later!

I'll be delivering at St. Charles.

Re: 2 weeks and counting

I hear you!!! My countdown says 10 more days and even though that's not far away, I can't imagine being pregnant that much longer. lol. Hoping & praying the Full Moon does something for me

Basically this week I've been:

- walking a lot (which I haven't been able to do much of this pregnancy). It definitely adds pressure down there, but not sure if much else.

- ate spicey food (did nothing, but give me horrid heartburn)

- squats is a biggy

- sex, but not every day because let's be honest, i just don't have the energy. lol.

Everybody keeps telling me to drink the gross Caster Oil, but I'm kinda waiting on that. I would have to be desperate (past my due date).



Here's my labor vibes for all of us in the last 2 weeks. May the full moon help us all out

We are totally doing it tonight in my anti-gravity machine.

I have no progress.

lol! I originally asked DH to do it tomorrow night but now I want to do it tonight too. He is sooo freaked out! Last week during an internal the Dr said she could feel the head, so now he is so afraid of it.

I told him I hope a hand doesn't reach out and grab him lol. I don't think that helped.

Re: 2 weeks and counting

Well, since my bedrest has been lifted, i have been grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, eating...oh, and potty training my 3 year old for the past month

Lost my mucus plug about a week ago and havent gone into labor yet...contractions come and go...and tomorrow is my pelvic exam...lets see how bad this LO wants to come out!

I was on bedrest for 4 months...you would think by now, i would have given birth!

Here's to hoping everyone due very soon has a safe delivery and a healthy baby!

OK, so pelvic exam was today...i am only 2 cm dialated! What the......???!!!!!

We decided not to wait We usually are so tired by the end of the day that we just go to sleep.
What helps if he's weirded out, at least for us, is in the style of the canine . He can't see my huge stomach and there's no pressure or touching on my belly.

Re: 2 weeks and counting

Haven't done much really- I just climb to the 5th floor everyday for work- thats about it. I cant wait to hold her in my arms though!!!

Re: 2 weeks and counting

Tomorrow I am officially 38 weeks too. I have 2 boys and neither made it to 38 weeks so it will be a 1st for me. I am had been praying to keep this baby in for at least 38-39 weeks and so far looking good. I have construction going on here and could use at least one more week. I have contractions all day long on and off, I am 3cm, at 36 weeks had contractions every 5 minutes for almost the whole day, lost my mucous plug over a week ago and baby is very low but so far the baby has stayed put. I am super active between this construction and having 2 boys - hey was ven kicking the soccer ball and carrying my 38 lb 3.5 yr old over the monkey bars today. Have lots of pressure and pains and nausea but hanging in there just not moving as fast as I was a few weeks ago.

oh - and I am South Nassau too...had both my sons there and going back there for #3.
