Im So Done

Ah, the joys of pregnany! You'll pop soon enough huni! Good luck trying to pop though! I wish I could help ya!

Don't worry april! You only have two more weeks! If you really want tricks, there's always walking, sex, and castor oil!

Hehe they dont recomend that you used castor oil. You will end up crapping all over the place if it does end up sending you into labor. Lol im sure that my doctor doesnt want to get sprayed with diarreah icky.... I wanna walk, but its so damn hot out, and I dont have anyone to walk with. And then I keep tellin kevin to not to pull out since sperm contains something that can help labor progress, but he still does it! I dont know why! Lol and I tell him to stimulate my nipples and then he tells me hes not a nipple person, hes a boob person and then he tells me he dont know how, and then he tells me hes gonna hurt me if he does it, and im supposed to do it. I just dont feel right playing with my own nipples! I think he thinks the colostrum is gross or something. I dont know why else he would have such a problem playing with my boobs lol. Does anyone know of anything thats not castor oil, nipple stimulation, or walking? Lol and besides sex cuz im just not in the mood for that and it didnt seem to be doing much anyways.

Raspberry leaf tea is sposed to be good... But (i didnt find this out till after I had danica) all that sex and stuff and inducing stuff.. Wont work unless ur body's already preparing itself down there for labour. But the day before I went into labour, I was real stressed bout my dad goin to the hospital after fallin off the roof and he said "i hope u have that baby tomorrow" and I had it the next day! So maybe stress can have a handle in it (but dont purposely try that lol!) or maybe just luck lol!

Oh yea! I forgot all about raspberry leaf tea! I heard it was supposed to work good too, cuz its supposed to tone your uterus... Also something like black cohosh and blue cohosh (i dunno what the hell it is but yea I heard of it and one is supposed to cause contractions, and the other is supposed to regulate them.)... Kevin gets paid tonight so im gonna make him go buy my breast pump (i heard thats even better than nipple stimulation) and I will make him buy me some raspberry leaf tea also... And maybe one of them exersise balls(arent they also supposed to help?).

I know that exercise balls are often used during labor to help the baby get into position more to be delivered. I saw it on tlc!!! Lol a lady was in labor for super long, so they put her in a hot shower with a big exercise ball and she had to straddle it and bounce on it to progress her labor and her the baby move down!! It was so cool to watch!

Take warm baths. Thats what I did, we'd have sex then id take a warm bath. But make sure he goes inside you the sperm helps!! Walking also helps, just walk around ur house if its to hot out. Did u loose ur mucus plug yet or anything like that? I dont remember if u posted about that stuff yet...Maybe your baby is gonna be stubborn and not wanna come out lol. Good luck

No I havent lost my mucus plug, although, for a couple days straight I was having this weird boogery stringy discharge, and alot would come out after we had sex(it wasnt his cum cuz I know what that looks like lol, and he pulled out so yea), but I dont think it was my mucus plug cuz there wasnt any blood and it didnt come out all at once... But I could have lost it if it is possible for it to not be bloody, and if its possible to loose it over a period of a couple days. My doctor said he is for sure gonna check me at my next appt (on tuesday) to see if im making any progress... Which I really do think I am cuz it doesnt feel like how it used to down there.

When I lost my mucus plug I lost it over a period of days, it looked like boogers when someone would have a sinus infection. My doc said it was my mucus plug and there doesnt have to be blood in it or a tinge to it. But u should loose a brownish black thing, and thats the "plug" to the mucus plug. Thats what my doc called it... I thought it looked like a snail..Lol.. Two more weeks april, your almost done lol. Are u gettin an epidural or anything like that? I recommend the epidural, it works great! Your numb forever and dont feel a thing, the only thing u can feel is the "ring of fire" as they call it, and thats the burning sensation of the head coming out. Its not bad but the epidural does wonders . Hopefully you wont have back labor because that sucks soo bad! The epidural also helps u relax and fall asleep and rest before the pushing time comes. That helped me since I didnt sleep at all, but the two hours from the epidural. Good luck and hopefully that baby will be out soon.

Yeah from personal experience--nooooooo castor oil!

Lol jordan

heather~ I havent lost the snail looking thing yet, but now that I know that you can loose your mucus plug over a period of days, then I believe thats what it was... It was stringy, and it looked like boogers lol. Yes I am definetly getting the epidural! The second I hit 5cm im demanding it! Lol. Im just scared to get it cuz its a catheder in your back *quiver* I hate needles, I dont know how im gonna handle a cath. How much did it hurt? I heard from some people that it hurts like a biotch, and others that it dont hurt much at all... But I definetly know im getting one cuz I know for a fact its worth it, lol and I havent even expirienced labor yet... Just watching "birth day" on discovery health, you can totally tell how much better it is with the epidural.

I dont wanna wait no more to have her, I wanna have her before she reaches 7lbs lol... And I wanna have her when my mom is off work, and she has the next 6 days off, starting tonight at 6:30.

Well I was in back labor and when they put the needle in my back I was screaming, because I was in such bad back labor and was having contractions while they were giving me the epidural. They also before u give birth to your baby put a catheder in so you go pee before u have the baby, because with the epidural you dont know that you have to pee because u are numb so they will empty your bladder then take it out for birth. Its not bad because u cant feel it. Its well worth it trust me on that one. Lol. The only time I actually was yelling was when I was at the "ring of fire" the other times I was just grunting with the pushing. But deff. Get the epidural, it may hurt with the needle but its way worth it!! Lol

Yea, but there are things that can speed up the process... Like walking, sex, and daily nipple stimulation.... Woman that stimulated their nipples daily we more likely to go before their duedates. Walking (if already in the early stages of labor, i.E loosing your mucus plug, begining to dialate... Otherwise if your not, who gives a crap cuz it will help you in the long run anyways) will help the baby ease into the birth canal faster, and it also releases a hormone that can promote contractions, leading to further dialation.... I know I cant make her come out when I want her to, but I do know that there are things to speed up the process.

I wanna see her too!
