Okay, who is in charge?

Of starting labor? The baby or my body? My body is soooo very ready and I am emotionally ready but I guess Ceci is not ready yet, or labor would be here, right? So who is really in charge? LOL!

LOL It's both. Your hormones, the baby's hormones and, get this, your immune system all are part of the starting labor process.
Is this your last pregnancy?
I fear this is my last. . .as ready as I sometimes feel I kinda will be sad too and never ready

Thanks Laura Your immune system? I wonder why that is? SO if you have a cold most likely you would not go into labor?

Most likely it is our last PG but you never know if the man above has other plans...LOL! I am ready but at the same time kind of scared of having 6 kiddos with a very spirited 2 yr old, kind of scary...LOL!

Interesting! I'm wondering that too...Although I'm nervous about what it will be like with 2 toddlers and one newborn...I feel very ready to have this baby come out.

What role does the immune system play? I am very curious! :
