Gilkesy has, i still havent! lol
Have you both gone into labor since these messages?
feels like it, doesnt it?! lol nope, im still waiting too. cant believe i am still pregnant. months ago i didnt think id make it a few days into june never mind now facing induction if he doesnt shift his butt any time soon! lol how are you? any twinges?
Am I the only one still waiting?
I've got the hemmie's too...ugh...I bought a bottle of witch hazel (the active ingredient in the tucks pads and the preparation h pads) and just blot some on toilet paper when I wipe. Seems to help with the pain/swelling/itching. The bottle is cheaper than buying the pads and lasts a lot longer. :-)
Oh, and no signs of early labor for me either - no regular contractions, no increased vaginal leakage, no nothin'! I'm only due 5 days before you, too! I hope we get our birth stories soon!! :-) Though it seems our babies are mighty comfortable in there!
I'm still waiting. Due June 17th, and no early signs of labour. Sorry to write graphic details but my haemorrhoids are killing me and now a lot worse than previously. Wish this baby would hurry up. So envious of those already had their babies.
Due date is June 15
First pregnancy. Boobs just started to leak white and clear, very slowly. Low back pain, bh contractions and well the normal early labor symptoms.
I guess you didn't need that eggplant parmesan after all!! :-) Well, if you get a chance, eat some for the rest of us who are overdue or almost overdue!! LOL
My due date was yesterday, still pregnant super tempted to try that oil stuff, i have had a constant headache and cant sleep at all im so done i want my little man to come now... :/
My hips feel looser, too and like Rhi315 said, at night in bed, it's the worst. I lay on alternating sides all night b/c I can't sleep comfortably on my back. Then every time I roll over, I have to pee - I guess baby girl lands on my bladder when I flip her over...LOL
Well, I am not near Atlanta unfortunately, so I guess I'll have to rule out trying the eggplant. I have also heard of a bakery somewhere in the northeast I think that makes lemon cupcakes that swears they send women in to labor. I am in Southern Louisiana, so no luck on that one for me either. :-( I ate some pineapple last week, I think I should get some more and eat it all weekend!
I was 2 1/2 cm last Tuesday and my next check up is Monday. I'll be 39w1d. Our babies could come any time! Oh, and my doctor is now out of town until next weekend! So, if I have her this week, she won't be here, either!
And, no you can't say s*cks - LOL - it's funny because I have tried to say that referring to the baby s*cking on the mother's breast when I have posted several times about breastfeeding and it blocks it every time! LOL
apparently you can't say s-u-c-k-s on here???
I have heard of that place before!! I tried egg plant parm. hoping that it wasn't just that restaurant's recipe that did it. But it didn't work for me...obviously lol. I'm in VA though...so it would be a little over the top for me to fly/drive to ATL just for that one dish LOL. I was 3cm on tuesday as well! I know someone who stayed 5cm for a month....so idk. My hips don't feel like they're able to slide out of place or anything...but they hurt SOOOOOO bad at night if I lay on either side. I have to sleep on my back every night....and then my back hurts. ***** so bad! when I was getting contractions, I was getting them in my hips too. That hip pain is NO JOKE.
IT's at a place called scalini's here in Atlanta, they are known for it! I'm going on Sunday for dinner. I also tried walking, and pineapple earlier today, and Sex last nigh. Went in for my 2p appt and found out I was 3cm! I am so excited to hear that news! Now my question is how long can I stay at 3cm??? I would like to keep him in until Monday when I know my doctor is on call and have him on Tuesday ....lol I know I have my own plans of how "it should go" lol. But that is my doctors last day before she goes to Malaysia for vacation for the rest of the month! I would rather have her there than some random doctor!
Does anyone else have "loose hips" mine feel strange and light. like i could slip one out of place if I tried.... strange.
Manderella - my back pain that I had before is a lot better, but sometimes I get a shooting pain down one side of my back/butt like she landed on a nerve or something. If I move around then it usually goes away.
Rhi315 - Yep, when you go in to labor apparently your body kind of flushes itself out beforehand. I was induced w/my first baby and I am pretty sure I pooped when delivering..not that they told me that, but I am wondering how I wouldn't have since it's the same kind of push. I think that's why your body naturally empties itself beforehand! LOL
I will let you guys know lol. I know it causes diarrhea, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of the time, natural labor does anyways? To clear you out before giving birth? So I'm willing to give it a shot. lol
So how is your back pain going?
Its so odd only one side of my back will hurt for hours!!
Hahaha oh i see, im def going to try some squats!
I wanna know how the oil goes too! I would totally do it but i dont want explosive diarrhea...
But at this point its very tempting, since i have tried what feels like everything..
Soooo close..
Manderella - I don't go down very far...lol...probably only 1/2 of a normal squat...I just put my hands on my hips.
Rhi315 - once you tell us about your castor oil experience, maybe I'll brave it, too! I hear it's pretty potent and gets the job done - that is - crazy diarrhea...lol
Oh, and yes, I do plan on trying the castor oil if i haven't delivered by 40 weeks. which is pretty much just 1 week away.
lol, well I have a pool, which makes me super happy! I don't walk either unless it's like, 6am and not hot out, but im rarely up at that hour. I have BH constantly too. They're not regular at all, and all of my real contractions stopped completely. Oh well, I'm sure it will happen soon enough.
Hahaha i know i was glad to see it!! No they are all over the place :(
Omg how are you doing squats?? do you have like a counter your holding onto?
Manderella - congrats on losing the mucus plug..I know you were looking forward to it!! ;-) Start timing your BH contractions - are they getting closer together? I hope your little guy comes soon!!
Rhi315 - I have been taking more naps lately, too..lol...but then I remember we still have some organizing to do before the baby comes...I did finally pack my hospital bag yesterday, though - woo hoo!
I have decided it's too dang hot to walk, so I am taking someone else's advice and doing squats indoors instead. I stand in front of the mirror and do like 10-20 of them after each time I go to the bathroom and when I am brushing my teeth and hair at night so yesterday I got up to 100...I also found some raspberry tea in my herbal tea assortment in the pantry - so I drank that yesterday and today..there were only 3 of that flavor so I gotta go find some more at the store. I hope this stuff helps!!
Omg i feel the same way!! its not depressing we have like almost been pregnant for a yr hahaha so are you going to try that oil?
I have been having sooo many BH i wish they would turn into real contractions.. :/
oh ok. I've had like, 3 bloody shows. I just stopped trying to guess anything at all. I'm just going to sleep all day every day until he comes to help the time pass...LOL..depressing, I know, =/
