You still with us???? Cause I sure am. Just checking up and wondering how you are. I hit 40 weeks today and 52 cm in fundal height. Big babies in there! Just trying to ever so patiently wait it out. There's just not much of anything going on over here. Not really any contractions and not feeling labory at all. I could honestly see going another week with these 2. I'm beginning to wonder if I really am pregnant or if this is just all a figment of my imagination...or one big mind game! Not really dreading another week. I can do 7 or so more days....but not 30. I think I've finally gotten used to being this big so am finally falling into a groove of being content to just wait it out.

To comfort you Almi...I only maxed out at 42 cm at 40 wks with our 1st set of twins. The entire pregnancy I measured right on target for my weeks...with single babies I typically measure 2 cm behind my gestational weeks. So, with our 1st set of twins I was right on up until te last week when I went from 38 at 38 wks to 42 and 40 wks.

This pregnancy is blowing everything out of the water!! I think I"m giving the twin world a run for their money as far as size is concerned!! LOL! I've never in my life carried THIS big. It's definitely something you have to get used to!

I'm still here with you guys. Today I am 40 weeks. I always measure up to 3 cm ahead in the 3rd trimester for my single babies. I have bigger than average babies and I carry a lot of fluid with each pregnancy. But wow! 52 cm! Those are some healthy little boys you have in there! I checked your blog this morning before I did all my errands to see if your babies made it yet. I haven't updated my blog in a week. I don't think anyone really reads it. Lol. TMI alert-----> I am feeling a little more gooey or gushy down there when I stand and/or walking at the store earlier. So I am laying on the couch right now doing a 30 min lay down test to see if I am leaking fluid. Which is how my waters break. They leak. I have only 2 more strips left in my ph strip bottle. But I can get more later tonight when hubby gets home. I am looking to see what the liquid bottle is that helps dispell the placenta and see if it is something I can get from our natural foods store here. They have a ton of those tinctures in little dropper bottles. I know of the Placenta Out, but that has to be bought online, and it wouldn't get here in time. I don't have a feeling I will need it, but its been popping up more and more in the threads and thought it would be good to have on hand. I thought one of the other ones started with an A.

Well my water isn't leaking. But I am still wetting a pad more. Yucky. I have a poopy diaper I need to change right now and its gonna be interesting. I change them on the floor but it hurts today for me to sit on the floor. I'll probably do it on the ottoman of our couch.

I think you're looking for Angelica, also known as Don Quai. I've only found it under the title of Don Quai but it is one and the same. We have some on hand for here too. It's pretty common so I think you stand a pretty good chance of finding it at a health food store.

Glad to know you're still with us. Sitting at 40 wks 1 day here. So, now it's a certain 40 wk 2 day pregnancy even if I were to go into labor right this minute. LOL! Contractions are getting much more intense when I do have them...just not consistent. I know for a fact it's getting closer due to the intensity of them. One of these days they'll get closer together and we'll have some babies! For now I do it every night from 5 or 6 to midnight and every night they just get harder and harder..but they stop come midnight or so. One of these nights they'll just keep right on going and produce some babies!!

Maybe it has this on the site you can order it from too, but on the Placenta Out bottle, the ingredients are: Dong Quai (Female Ginseng), Blue Cohosh, and Shepherd's Purse.

Wonder what percentage of the mixture each thing is though...

It is a little too late for me to order it. What if I go into labor before it arrives? I was wondering what the percentage of each is also.

I know, that's why I gave you the ingredients.


Maybe it would be possible to look up how much of each thing you need?


EDIT: You could have it delivered to you overnight too, but that might be expensive...
