Uggh!

I just had my NST done this morning as I am almost 41 weeks. Baby was pretty quiet so I had to spend a lot of time there for them to see what they wanted. With a little nudging baby moved a little, but I was like, "Hey, some days the baby is active, and some days not." This morning was one of those "not" days. MW wants me to go on Saturday to the hospital for another NST. And then they scheduled an induction day for the 16th. I'm like WTH, then why do I need to go in on Saturday. She said she was fine with what she saw, but secretly I'm wondering if she's not a little suspicious. She has been super hands off the whole pregnancy, so I'm wondering a little, why she seems skeptical??? Anyway, she gave me Blue Cohosh to take, and she says that she expects that I'll be back there tonight (in labor on my own). I just hate feeling the pressure of everyone around me. It seems to be negatively affecting my own confidence, and I don't want Labor & Birth to start out like that. I need Labor Vibes ladies.

Feeling Depressed!

Here's some more labor vibes anudi01 ...and to anyone else who wants/needs them....

Me? I'm thinking I'll be here for another month which at the rate I'm moving, might mean that we'll finally be ready for Wee Bitty's appearance.

Thanks you guys. : The nice words mean a lot to me.

Hopefully I'll only have to wait til friday for whatever news, then once I know for sure the baby will decide that its safe to come out.

I'm 38 weeks today and ready to go! My broken rib is feeling much better and my headcold letting up. I had my mother's blessing Sunday night and got the birth tub. also had my belly henna'd. So any day would be OK now. I am going to try to link some of my pregnancy photos, my husband and I took them on Sunday with the kids, I will do some more with my belly tonight and try to post them. I hope this link works, not really sure how to link photos yet so I cut and pasted. http://www.snapfish.com/thumbnailsha...71/t_=27044416

Maggi, the link didn't worry sweetie, at least for me.

Alisa, Imminent LV to you!!! Yes I want them myself, but I'd much rather give them to someone facing an induction!!!

i've got my 39 wk appt tomorrow and a chiro appt - i know he will ask if i want him to hit any helpful acupressure points, and i plan to say hell yes!! baby boy is due this sunday the 14th and I am ready.

I have one more project that i am finishing from home for work - i pick it up tomorrow at kinko's and mail it!

I really hope that all those that are "overdue" at this point go soon - i was 8 days late with dd and it is SO HARD! esp. w/#1.

Yay! I finally felt some bh tonight! At least, I think that's what they were... I described them to dh as "my belly hugging Wee Bitty" because they didn't hurt, they didn't seem to really tighten like a muscle cramp...just like a hug. They made me happy.

Isn't there a full moon in a couple of days? All you "almost there" ladies will probably go into labor/give birth then.

I was induced w/ds (actually yesterday at this point in the pregnancy - I was laboring all day at this point in his pregnancy - tomorrow morning he was born) and the day/night that I labored until he was born the following morning was crazy at the hospital. (Full moon AND a storm came throug) Dh told me that they had ladies laboring in the hallways and 2 to a room. We apparently weren't monitored as closely as we should have been because the nurses were so busy. (I was out of it on mag sulfate and pitocin, so I just remember the leprechauns bouncing around the room on bubbles) It's weird to think that as of tomorrow morning, any time after 4:26am I will be more pregnant that I ever was w/ds. I almost feel like a first time mama labor-experience wise w/all the calmness regarding newborn care that a second-time mama feels. It's a cool place to be.

Happy Birthing Vibes to anyone who wants them....

It worked for me, but I have to sign up to be a member of snapfish before I can view the pics. Is there a "share" feature you can use to get a new link?
