Can you explain the lunar eclipse thing a bit for me, please? Not the actual eclipse, but the birth effect? I'm a bit over 38 weeks and Wednesday sounds good to me!
I'm also due on the 13th, and Wednesday sounds just great with me, though I doubt it will happen.
I've actually been hoping for the following Wednesday (the 3rd) would also work, since my OB will be at the hospital that day, and not again for a few days after my due date...
I was due yesterday, and my water already broke, so the sooner the better. Our dog sitters (who will take the dogs to their house so we can have some peace for the homebirth) are leaving town Wednesday morning for a few days, so of course I will probably go into active labor then.
I am 36 weeks 2 days and have been feeling horrible the past few days and this morning. I woke up this morning to a horrible burning feeling in the whole top part of my belly and between my legs is killing me. Lets put it this way, i feel so bad i have bumped my Drs appt to today from tomorrow..
But i dont see any relief in sight for me...
My midwife told me 3 WEEKS AGO that I was dilated to 5 and could go at any minute. NOW I'M PAST MY DUE DATE! I know due dates and midwife guesses don't count for squat, but now every day is torture! Come on, lunar eclipse!
I'm due Nov 9....would love to have the baby tomorrow though during the eclipse (not to mention a couple of days before Halloween--been thinking about the awesome b-day parties *grins*)
i'm due in 3 days (on the 30th) and i hope so much to go into labor tonight! i've had contractions for weeks now, but the last two days they've been about 10 minutes apart the whole time. nothing painful, but they are getting stronger... i showed my tummy the almost full moon last night, but i'm still pregnant this morning. i hope it's an eclipse baby!!!
I didn't even realize that we were going to have an eclipse tonight..kewl!!! I have been on bedrest for Preterm Labor so maybe that's why for the past 3 days my cx are more bothersome than they had been. Besides, I had a few days before that when I was bursting with energy. If I can just make it 4 more weeks so that he won't be too preterm at 36 weeks. I don't want to have Adam now...way too soon for him.
I'm due 2 weeks from tomorrow and have had lots of pre-labor signs the last couple days, but I'd be surprised if I actually had the babe tonight. I sure wouldn't mind though!
I'm not due for another 4.5 weeks...but I've been having a ton of strong contractions. I doubt I'll be going into labor this early...but maybe I've started dialating???
Can't wait to hear who has their baby because of this full moon!
Well...my midwife came tonight for a prenatal, disaster meeting/dinner. She checked me at about 6pm and I was 4cm and 100% effaced--thought I would be having a baby tonight--but I'm still 4cm and she went home--told me to get some rest *sigh*...tomorrow wouldn't be bad though.
O.K. so we missed the eclipse. But, we had a beautiful boy (HBAC) the following morning at 10:34 a.m. My DH thinks the eclipse set me off though (due date was 11/8/04).
baby wasn't born on wednesday, but came the following day (yesterday) at 5:55. Had a great birth center birth, *almost* in the water, and have a teeny baby boy to show for all my hard work (just 7 lbs).
