[QUOTE=Turtlemum;12299869]Hey PW, why not try this distraction technique?
Make a list of all who have called to ask if you've had the baby. Then spend your day calling them at home, at work...and say "hey ____, just wanted to call and let you know I haven't had the baby yet. I'm feeling pretty crampy. Just trying to keep things around here clean. What's that? You need to get back to work? Okay, I'll let you go but I"ll call back in about an hour if the baby hasn't come by then. Then you'll be as up to date as I am. I know how in the loop you want to be. Talk soon."
Not funny? Sorry. It'll happen. Hugs until then
i took the hypnobirthing birth classes. i don't know...just kind of bored w/ those!

Not funny? Sorry. It'll happen. Hugs until then I was similar to Mandi in my last pg... was at 40 weeks, had been having regular bhs for a couple of weeks. A poor gal at an appt. asked me when I was due to which I grumpily replied that I'd been due already! She said "maybe you'll have your baby tonight!" and I just grumbled more. Well, he came that night
 But things that helped me were to go window shopping a few times when I felt stir crazy. I also did a lot of walking along our local nature trail. I'd even walk around the yard a few times. Tried to enjoy the children and focus on what I was thankful for. I found that I felt a lot better when I made a concious effort to be thankful rather than complaining inwardly. I read a lot of the birth stories in Spiritual Midwifery where the moms focus on being thankful. I found it really helped me |
the other morning i had a massage and then saw my chiro....this morning i saw an accupuncturist....ive been trying to get out of the house. I just spent wayyyy toooo much $$$ on some yarn today for a big project. but havent started it yet.
contrax still going on but still nothing progressing. now 40 weeks 5 days. ds3 was 40 weeks 6 days.
