I talked to my MW about the full moon theory yesterday at our appointment and she said studies have been done to show L&D wards are always busier during full moon "peaks"....yes, not just a certain day, but a day or two before, and a few days after...she said she was hopeful for either thursday or this weekend!: so you got some days ladies...no frettin'.

Sorry for the confusion! It was almost full when I saw the moonset the other night.

Here's to some newborns the next couple of days!

Well, I've been feeling like crap today. This evening, I just lost it when DD wanted me to paint with her. I wanted to be left alone, and she kept sticking paintbrushes in my hand. Instead of yelling at her (like I've been doing lately when fed up), I started sobbing, "i just want to be alone." She started crying, of course, and I felt bad. DH was there, thankfully, and took care of her while I ran up to my room and made a bath. I really would like a cave.

Just got some bloody show. But that could mean nothing.

DH is going to try some acupressure on me tonight before bed. And give me a back massage, since my lower back is REALLY hurting.

aw, I know how you feel. All day yesterday I just wanted to be alone.

I snapped on my daughter a couple of months ago when she wanted me to make her some mushroom soup. I hate mushrooms and when she wouldn't change her mind I snapped on her. I can't stop thinking about it, I feel so bad, it was such a stupid thing to snap on her about.

So the other day I called her into my room because I wanted to tell her that when I can walk again, I'll make her some mushroom soup, and I'll make it all nice and creamy for her. She had no idea what I was talking about. She remembered that I made her some soup and she didn't like it. lol...

i had soft poo earlier today, which is a first in months! [tmi, sorry!]
babies head feels significantly lower than it was yesterday.
i woke up this morning around 10:30, as usual. after sitting on the couch and eating some cereal i felt really cold [really strange as i live in florida, it's still warm and i am generally BURNING up] and my tummy felt crampy so i went and laid down and slept until about 1:30! lotsss of sleep.

i just went for a long walk and i'm hoping something happens soon!

:

been naucoues all day...more than usual. woke up around 4am with another loose stool (unusual), alot of pressure, more lower back pain than usual. tried to go back to sleep, couldn't. got up again, felt had to poo again, produced nadda. looked outside on the way back to bed and smiled at the full moon. light contracs in bed, but nothing unusual from the last 3 weeks. began running timelines in my head to arrange sitters for kids if today was the day, which only robbed me of more sleep. so here i sit, contracs not gaining in intensity or time, kicking myself for getting hopeful, chiding myself i should have just stayed in bed. nausea subsided a bit. pressure relieved. guess it was nothing. : later at breakfast i'll take my one daily dose of EPO and see if it throws me over the line....but at that point, can i even say the full moon did it?

Well, I havent even noticed there are due date clubs on this forum until now... Better late than never though!.

I am with you ladies, and honestly, I am glad to see that there are a bunch of us still due! I am 10 days over due today... I am hoping to VBAC, so I really do not want the induction... however, it seems as though it might come to that! I have tried everything... b&b tincture, homeopathics, acupuncture, a chiropractor, acupressure, walking, spicy foods, sex, eggplant parm, and pretty much all of them together! The only thing is castor oil.. and i am against that one!

I was seriously hoping the full moon would have brought something along last night, but I woke up at 6am, still preggo!! Ahh! I think I am more anxious to meet her than anything else, and I am really ready to have her...

Hopefully some of us will head into labor in the next couple of days! I will be checkin back! :

: sending them to all of us!

Even if we're still pregnant, it's only for NOW. Pretty soon, we'll all have empty uteri. (That sounds kinda weird.)

It's basically any day now, right? :-)

Yep. I still go back and forth of wanting the baby to come and wanting to wait.

Well I'm still pregnant! I have been having cramps and a weird feeling like sore muscles burning in the top of my uterus? But I'm not in labor. You would think that being as "ripe" as I am (3 cm, 90% effaced, anterior cervix, stripped membranes and taking epo and caulophyllum) that I would be in labor by now!

I don't want to jinx myself, but I've been having contrax all day and now they're more frequent and getting stronger. Maybe, just maybe, this is it.

Wish me luck!
