38 Week Appointment
Posted: 10-19-06 17:14pm

I went to the Dr. And i'm still 1 cm. It's been 5 weeks at 1 cm. But she dropped a lot more. He easily felt her head. He said that my body is prepping for labor and it should be any day now. He said that my body is releasing that p-word hormone (i dont know how to spell it) and that's what's giving me diarrhea, cramps, and more mucus.
He said to rest so i'm not too tired for labor.
I've been shaky today. Hopefully that's a sign too. I'm going lay down.

I didn't see any posts from you today so I thought this was it! I've felt like crap lately too. My back is killing me and of course I read into everything. When's your next appointment? Maybe you won't make it!

My back's been hurting too and he said that it's the p-word hormone thinging that's softening my ligaments and bones.

I go back next thursday. Hopefully I don't make it b/c we had to schedule it on that day and my husband's working.

I think it'll be sooner than thursday. The doctor thinks it'll be any day now.

Do what I did. Tell your baby that you're evicting her!

It didn't work for .Aly (she gets her stubbornness from her daddy) but hey, it's worth a shot! Wink

We've already threatened to give away her things.
When she kicks I tell her that I don't feel sorry for her anymore and if she wants more room, she'll need to come out. Lol
my husband says it's because i've been eating so much good food and she rathers that than milk. Lol
