I felt the same way with my first. The last two weeks were the worst and seemed to last forever. I started doing everything i could and tried every wives tale i ever heard lol i startrd walking A LOT and once my doctor told me i was dialated to 1 it seems i walked all day everyday haha. Idk if it worked or not but when i went back for my routine check up i had dialated two more and they induced me lol. I hated hearing people say it will happen when its time and the baby is ready as im sure you are lol so my advice is to walk walk walk walk and bounce on one of those big yoga balls, and have sex!! Sperm is suppose to dialate your cervix so i suggest doing those things and it could help jump start things. Good luck!!!!
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. God bless you all with a super smooth labor & healthy babies :)...I did lose my mucus plug about 5 days ago but doc said that doesn't mean that labor will follow. It could still be weeks off if I stop progressing.
I'll definitely post about about the EPO. I'm really praying that it works as far as preventing tearing.
Been thinking am over reacting. I have 15 days to go and am tired, moody, my back aches,i cant sleep. No signs of going into labour. God when will this torment end. I wish all of you the very best of luck.
I totally understand how you feel!! I will have my csection WED #4 days left & the anticipation is killing me !!!!!!! I just want to see my baby already...... Pregnancy is beautiful but I'm so over it. I wish you well on your delivery.
Oh one more thing @PDMOMMY have u lost ur mucus plug ? I was 1cm dilated on Tuesday but i haven't lost my mucus plug and i haven't had anything that felt like contractions in a few days....i really wish this baby would hurry up and come on before the 17th lol
I am scheduled for a c-section in 12 days and i totally feel the same way. I have tried walking, squats and even jumping jacks lol please keep me posted on how the EPO works.
I think you need to focus on positioning your baby now, because if he/she is in the right position it will be much easier a delivery process. . Good luck!
PS I'm a ftm as well.
Esmeralda, I just started using EPO to ripen my cervix. Not sure if it's actually working.
Zoeboy, I'm a ftm.
Soli115, my back hurts more than anything. The bathroom trips only bother me at night.
Raeleighs_Mommy, I had my "freakout period" last week when I realized how close labor was lol...now I'm just ready but he's cozy!
MommyFavata, it definitely seems like a boy thing.
7 days left for me .... dont know what to expect! Ftm here.
Before you know it you will be in the single digits and be freakin out! Lol yayyy!! :) im right behind you! Bue date april 30 but being induced a week early! ♥
Anyone here tried Primrose oil?
Im in the same boat!!! I have 10 days left and i am sooo exhausted. My thighs hurt, my feet hurt...i can barely do anything without having to pee every 2 minutes. Uhhhhhhh im sooo done being pregnant and i have no signs of labor!!!
Maybe it's a boy thing?? And keep in mind they will most likely be Aries... Aries are extremely stubborn!!! I know this because I am one. Haha.
I'll be praying for us all to have quick, safe and minimally painful deliveries soon! And I hope to read your birth stories as well!
Not 1 contraction over here. Maybe we'll all make progress within next week! *praying*
Oh Lord, tell me about it! I have 11 days to go.. Very little pain.. I think my little man is enjoying the laziness in there.. I am so done with pregnancy. . I pray everything goes smoothly for all of us. . xx
Thanks, good luck to you also. I hope to see your story posted after you deliver!
You and I both!! I have 14 days left and I've been doing squats, sex, pineapple. I've even been using my 18 month old as a weight of sorts and yet I'm still only 1 cm dilated and 30% effaced :-( my next trick will be castor oil. I hate to rush nature but I just cannot deal with being preggers any longer!
Good luck to you! Hopefully your little guy decides to evacuate your body sooner than expected!
