******************** Open Forum Friday ********************

Happy Friday everyone !

[Debra_Maine]

Was this a hell week for everyone, or just me??? Friday couldn't get here fast enough!!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm going to see The Incredibles this weekend. I hope it's as funny as Monster's Inc. and Finding Nemo. Pixar pictures usually has a lot of adult humor in their movies.

Your movie plan sounds like a great idea! this week has been rotten, saddening and baffling...we all need a good movie, a big bowl of popcorn and some GOOD news! =))) ((HUGS))) I think i'll take my guys to see that too!

[Kassimom]

Well guys I am officially in the beginning stages of labor.

Last night I went to the hospital with contractions 5-7 min's apart but no dilation.

I am supposed to call back if they get stronger (they are pretty darn umcomfortable, but not terribly painful yet). If they get consistently less than 7 min's apart for at least 1 hour OR I start to dilate, my OB is taking him immediately.

Have a great weekend everybody and I will try to get on a much as possible to update!

[Debra_Maine]

Movie therapy is definitely called for! And until this baby is born, my child is 33(dh) and loves those movies :o)

Kassimom - Can't wait for the good news!!! Good luck! Hope it's a quick one!

[Kassimom]

Just talked to Dr and if I am still contracting 2 hours from now-its off to the hospital!!

Cross your fingers!!!

[tresmathews]

Good luck!  We are leaving this afternoon for NC til Monday, so I won't get to hear how things went.

Can't wait!

[PeanutMom]

Good Luck!! I'm so happy for you. I hope things move along quickly. Although I must say I'm jealous, I cant wait to go into labor.

I hope you'll be holding your wonderful baby boy this weekend, i'll keep you in my prayers that you'll go fast. Will you deliver vaginally or by section still?

[cmn]

I'll be getting my Rhogam shot on Tuesday, since my blood type is A-. How are you feeling today? Anymore pain at all?

[shubunkin]

Good Luck Girl! Hope you are holding your little sweet one real soon! Best Wishes! Danielle

Kassimom- Good luck to you.

cmn- I think kassimom is having a C section.

[Angel4JohnnyB]

OH!! OH!!! I can't wait!!!!!
Best of luck.......hopefully it is tonight!!!

Has anyone else noticed that everytime someone goes into labor lately Christie is off somewhere.......
I think from now on each time someone gets close and can't stand it any longer they just need to send Christie some place for a few days.....LOL
Have a good trip Christie.
Hugs,
Vikki

[tresmathews]

I was thinking the same thing lol.

[Christie2004]

I heard that!!!!

(We got delayed, now leaving around 8pm...)

Does this mean half the board will deliver when I move on Nov 16th??? LOL!

[tresmathews]

Any plans on vactioning in May so I know when to expect my labor lol.

[Kassimom]

So far it's a big fat no go ladies.

I was contracting hard this morning, but Dr wanted them to be 7 min's apart.

Then they went to 10 min's apart.

My whole body feels weird, hard to explain, like my body is drunk and tired all at once. My lower back is REALLY hurting and in between contractions I have what feels like period cramps.

*sigh* I wish that the DR would have let them give me some thing to at least STOP the contractions if he isn't going to just go ahead and take him now.

I have been nauseated all day and haven't been hungry at all (so unlike me this WHOLE pregnancy) and I know that those are just two more symptoms of early labor....we shall see how this weekend progresses.....

[qw]

I was going to post earlier to see if you tried the onion thing :) LOL. Is your ear any better or did the contractions make you forget about it? When I was is labor both times I had nausea, so again good luck to you.

[karen23]

I'm with you on the nausea and not being hungry.  I was wondering if they were signs of early labour.  I am due on Monday.  I think we are all ready to  not be pregnant any more!!  I also know what you mean about feeling different.  I am exhausted but can't sleep and feel off balance and overall yucky.  Good Luck to you - I hope you don't have to wait that much longer.
