Still Preggo #3: 5/25 to 5/31 - Page 5

Sara, hope you feel better!

I am officially due today. And I am certain that sex to induce labour is a big myth. I've also tried belly dancing and a long walk. Guess this critter is just not ready to get out yet.

[alegna]

Still here.

grump. grumble. grouse.

hoping today is the day.

Wow! Congrats. I know that's a huge deal with how you've been feeling.

i'm still here although not happy about it. i feel like a turkey in the oven that everyone keeps checking on.

It is so not fair that the Juna mamas are popping faster than us tail enders and/or long bakers.

DD did not listen to daddy and come yesterday. All my pressing appointments are finished as soon as I pick up DS2 at 11 today so I have told her anytime, but she's not listening very well. Few BHs here and there, but nothing major. And here I was under the impression that babies come when they are not supposed to, if that was the case, she would have come yesterday when I was booked solid for 6 hours of appointments. WAHHHHH

Still here. I am so grouchy, it isn't even funny. I feel so bad for dh! I talked to my midwife yesterday and told her I might not object to having my water broken at some time. She said she doesn't do it often, but if my cervix weren't so high up, it would be an option. Praying it will come down. This is the day dh picked in the baby pool. For once i hope he is right.

No more threat of unmedicated vasectomy? Isn't it funny how desperation changes us? I told DH all weekend I was going hurt him if she came on Tuesday, and Tuesday passed and I was like "not fair, I wanted you to be right!"

40wks 3days, and here. First baby -- realize still in the realm of normalcy with the lateness. Tough dealing with phone calls and the anticipation...

[smeisnotapirate]

Angela, yeah, this is HUGE. I feel great. I had a great sleep, a good lunch, and now I'm going to do a bit of decorating around the house. Blare some music, that kind of thing.

I also think that sex to help labor is a big myth at this point. Though with as good as I'm feeling, I'm not too hard up on it.

Everyone up and down our street (who we know as casual acquaintances) has started to stop me and ask "when are you due again?" or the ones who know "still pregnant?" Usually it's annoying, but it's 65, sunny, and I'm well-rested, so I'm happy to say that I still have plenty of time.

I think at this point, baby's waiting for my order of postpartum cloth pads. They got lost in the mail and were just returned to the sender on the 22nd, so they should come any day now.

all around to anyone who needs them.

holy cow I slept in untill one today. I was up from like 6:00 to 7:30 then went back to bed. hoping this means its cause tonights the night and not that I am just really lazy lol. i didnt sleep good last night cause i was having such strong BH... so maybe... I hope I hope I hope!

[smeisnotapirate]

Now how did this make it onto page 2??

Today was uneventful. I've had some BH, but nothing big. Maybe I can convince DH to boogie down tonight.

ETA: I like yogurt, and it has just as much potassium as a banana! So for those of us who have been having a banana or some potassium thing recently before bed, you can rotate yogurt in! I was sick of bananas after having one a night for over a month now.

[alegna]

I lost a chunk of mucus plug today

Here's hoping labor is tonight and not too drawn out

-Angela

[smeisnotapirate]

Yay Angela! :

[gottecat]

sure hope so angela!!! Lets just all have a labor revolution and everyone go tonight sounds great to me!

[seren]

My water just broke!

[smeisnotapirate]

seren, that's awesome! At that exact moment in time, I was saying to my DH "sheesh, I wish my water would just break or something!"

: to you!

[smeisnotapirate]

Ok, so here's the question. I will run out of EPO next week. Do I...

A) Get another bottle of 100 capsules at my MW appt tomorrow, knowing that if I do, I'll never open it/use one dose out of the new bottle

B) Not get any, and consign myself to another 2 weeks of "prodromal hell" but save the $

I guess, also, the question is can you use EPO for anything postpartum? Because I really just don't want to waste the $ if I don't have to.

Can't you use it for PMT or something hormonal like that... Can't remember what though.
