I might take this back later today...

she's gonna come out fully dressed at this rate!

 

Who is?

Remember...we're ignoring her...

 

I feel for you!! I was so depressed on my due date because I thought I'd be pregnant forever. I went in to the doctors the next day and was still completely closed, nothing was happening!!! Talk about feeling like you'd be pg forever!!!! Well, my water broke 4 days after my due date and now my son is 3 years old. It will come and go before you know it, hang in there. I wish you all the best!!

 

lol!

it wont be long you guys! i'll be thinking about you :::hearts:::

 

I wish I would have known that water eases things when I was in labour. My doc wouldn't even let me have the ice chips because he was so dead set on a c-section. I was sick as a dog from the flu and was dehydrated as hell.....grrr.
I know how each day feels like it's dragging on and each night you go to bed thinking, "maybe tomorrow will be it..." and alas, nothing happens. Just forget about being pregnant (as best as you can, lol) and enjoy your time with brian just like everyone else said, lol

 

LOL! Okay, so last night we tried to get all cuddly...and apparently, it just wasn't to be...

everytime Brian would even come close enough to me to cuddle, I'd either get a HUGE urge to pee and have to waddle my happy butt to the bathroom or I'd get a majorly hard (BH) contraction...

I swear, we tried all evening to no end...finally, I just had to go to bed....it was sort of depressing in a way....But this morning, it seemed funny as hell...

Thought I would share.

 

TWO DAYS left!

Think she'll be punctual?

 

*whispers so baby doesn't hear*

Yeah, brian and I were discussing that....He's hoping she'll start out life very punctual...lol...we know a lot of people (mostly women) that are ALWAYS late to everything...So to have a punctual baby would be kind of nice...

 

Honey! That was the point! He stimulates your hormones, baby!

 

And doesn't even have to touch me! LOL! We're a powerful duo...

 

Been doing my best to keep the nipples twitterpated...and treating myself at least once a day...*whistles*...Just keeps me crampy, but maybe she'll be a punctual baby...

My mom doesn't want her to come out until she's here...and I understand that...and appreciate her wanting to be here...but she doesn't understand or trust midwifery at all...Such a hospital-head...sheesh...and I don't want that doubting negative energy there...so that's why I'm trying to talk this baby out soon...Monday is when momma gets here...

 

Besides just Brian having the hipforums on the notify list (it's a long-ass list!), TARABELLE is also going to be a contact person for everyone...and Tigerlily will be getting a call as well...As will Fleassy....so there will be plenty of people to inform the forumers.

 

just a little tmi for you:

sex at this point is all business. when i was in labor and we did it, i was having xtions 4-6 minutes apart, they were mild but enough i had to stop what i was doing. i got on all fours, leaned over the bed and said, "honey, you got 4-6 minutes, do your thing". he did and that was that.

skip the cuddling and just do it!!!

 

Hey Holly, take a long walk. Maybe that will nudge her on. It's such a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

 

I know you are getting a lot of advise...but here is one thing that worked for me:

Evening Primrose oil...acts like sperm, has those nice prostaglandins in it. The night my water broke, we did the whole "who's yer daddy thang" and used just ONE capsule. Used it like lubricant we did. 3 hours later...Honey, I think it's timmmme!

I did use both the blue and black cohoshes as well as the castor oil (under midwife's suppervision ofcourse)...no meconium problems here.

Totally am with you there regarding the BH contractions and the feeling like you were coming down with the flu. I did that one too!

Sometimes drinking too much water will give you cramps (legcramps) because it dilutes your electrolytes. If you are drinking a lot, try to drink emergen-c with it.

Blessings to you and your new family, stay strong through that * Ring Of Fire* YOU CAN DO IT!

 

I was personally 2 weeks late AND a castor oil baby....my poor mom couldn't even dress herself she was so huge (I was 10lbs 4 oz...)

I can't wait to see pics!

 

Lol daisymae i was about a month late and 10 lbs when i was born... i was the first and apparently didn't want to come out.... i've always been a bit shy and attatched to my mom. anyway, i can't wait to hear the news when it comes!

 

She's late, she's late, she's late for a very important date!
