So I'm started to get really frustrated! After waking up with contractions at 5AM yesterday, they petered off mid-day. They came back with a vengeance early yesterday evening. About 10 minutes apart and quite strong. Totally gone at 4AM this morning....

I'm going in for a NST this morning. I was very hopeful I would be cancelling that appointment and delivering my little one instead. Looks like I've still got more time to wait. Thursday c-section is getting awfully close! :

How are you other two "Juners" doing, Maya and Christine? Hopefully off delivering or nursing your babes this morning!

no such luck for me...
Sorry yesterday was such a tease for you. And the pressure of a c-section in your mist. But maybe last night was dry run for real labor tonight.
Are you going anything today to try to go into labor? I did nothing yesterday. And I want to go on a 2 mile walk and try DID again. I think you can still DTD after you've lost your plug.

I really hope its tonight for us...

Ugh Christine...c-section pressure would just drive me MAD. *hugs* I really really hope things just suddenly start moving for you. That's what I'm hoping for myself as well!

halaroo...hope the NST goes well. Let us know the results!

I'm still here and still preggo. Nothing much is happening except that I get random BH contrax once in a while, lots of baby movement with nipple stim/caulophyllum, and there was some more mucus this morning. I've "graduated" to having cramps at night, but aside from that, nada.

I'm just planning on a nice relaxing day, because yesterday was so emotional and difficult. We're going to go walking on the Mount-Royal, maybe take some pics and have a bbq.

Got an NST tomorrow morning, and then just the usual: laundry, cleaning up, mailing out some stuff. Maybe if I ignore this birthing stuff, it'll happen on its own!

Oh and DH is doing much better now that he's taking erythromycin...it's yucky stuff but it's killing the throat infection.

My friend went into labor last night after her water broke. She doesn't know when she's due, so it's a huge surprise! She had me pick up her 2 yo this morning because she was freaking a little and wanted to nurse while she was trying to work through contractions!!
She's trying for her vbac at home!

Send elv's!!!!!!

The NST was fine. Total waste of time in my opinion, but it keeps everyone else happy. I had to drink 2 glasses of gingerale to try to get the baby moving. I don't drink a lot of sugary stuff, so that was kind of unpleasant. I'm feeling pretty crampy right now and I've been losing my mucous plug all day today so hopefully that's a sign.

I was 10 days over with my first and I'll be 10 days over tomorrow so maybe history will repeat itself.

glad your NST was fine Halaroo!

Okay I'm so so fusterated! I want to have my baby. I have tried herbs, acupuncture, sex, walking, talking to the baby, castor oil. I'm so over trying to reach labor. I just want to wake up in labor. Why does this have to be so hard.

[Halfasianmomma]

halaroo...yay for the reassuring NST. I'm doing two in the next three days, just to make my doc and the hospital happy. I don't mind that much; the first time around when they checked the fluids, I got a very clear image of my little girl's face

Christine...I can honestly say I feel your pain Last night as I tossed and turned, I tried convincing my body that tomorrow morning I'd wake up with contractions or leaking water. I've done acupuncture, acupressure, DTD, walking, talking to baby, nipple stim, caulophyllum, pineapple, spicey/crummy Chinese food, ...I'm completely out of options as well!
