sunfairy, let me know about the skullcap tinture. (Assuming you have your baby 1st ) It's on my "to buy" list, along with St. John's /Joan's Wort. Haven't tried either though.

HI friends,

Glad some people are still here.

All is well here.

Getting lots of phone calls. Dh says, "We will call you when there's a baby. Your name is on the list."

Got up at 5:00am this morning and 4:00am yesterday (the "due" date).

Just wondering if this baby will wait until the full moon (31st), which is supposed to be awesome astrologically. My garden has done marvelous things since the new moon (Saturday), so any time between now & the 31st would really please me.

I'm up to 164 #. I feel that the baby has grown so much!

I'm curious to know more about the skullcap. The tinctures I've had in the past were so yucky, but if it helps with labor pain... I'd consider it.

I ran out of my 5W on Monday, so I have 100 of those in my system. Couldn't get more when I was in the city on Tuesday, so I guess I'm not meant to take anymore. ??

I'm just drinking red raspberry leaf tea.

The baby is so, so, so, so active.

I'm wondering if I'll know when the day is... like get a feeling. I'm wondering if I'll wake up in the night like I did with dd.

I hope I'm prepared. I think I feel too calm. Is that possible?

i think i might actually be going into labor. these contractions are really starting to hurt! i had a little bit of bloody show... i woke up this morning at like 5am to take a shower... normally i don't get up until MUCH later.

i was getting all anxious and frustrated that it wasn't happening, but now that it is, i'm a little nervous... this being my first vbac and all. my c sec was from an abrupted placenta... we didn't know i was bleeding until we broke my water at 9cms, but i did have some BRIGHT RED bloody show during the labor. this time the show was only pinkish/brownish. still i am dreading (against my will) that some of those signs will start to show up again.

*sigh*

pray for me!

*so i went by the midwives' office, since i had a prenatal appointment scheduled anyway... i'm 2 cm, 80% effaced, and the baby is at -1 station... huge difference from last week. contractions are still coming too...

**the next morning i went in to the mw office and was found to be 4 cms! i went home and about two hours later i felt transition-ish, so we went in again and i was NINE!! so we went to the hospital, labored a little longer, and pushed out a 9 pound 13 ounce baby girl by 6pm!! i had my VBAC!!!
