I personally love the number 13, we chose it as our wedding date and the date for our son to be born (c-section) so the number has special meaning for us. Bt when it comes to being induced I`d wait as long as possible.

the 20th ... PLUS its my birthday that day! LOL and everyone born on jan 20th is just the shizznitt : P

If your induction date is the 13th it doesn`t mean that is when he will for sure arrive. I was induced at 38 weeks and from start to finish it was 36 hours. Also I just wanted to say I had a great labor experience and I had heard over and over how hard an induction would be how ever I had no issues. I agree with what everyone else seems to be saying if there is no medical reason then you should hold off. Good Luck ;o)

I would wait until the 20th!! I watched a show that said even 1 day could make a difference in the rest of your babies life, and whether or not they could develop certain conditions! At the same time I know how much waiting sucks, but it will be worth it in the long run!

Why are you being induced? Is it a medical reason? If not, I would wait. Babies will be born when they are ready. I have heard that induced contractions are a lot more painful because you are asking your body to perform something that it wasn`t quite ready for. I have never had to be induced although my doctor discussed it with me with my last since I was 6 days late. I know that he is already thinking about it for this one because my last 2 babies were over 10 lbs. I will try to avoid it if possible, I don`t need contractions to be worse than they already are!!!

I read an article yesterday that said even one week longer in the womb, although baby is completely viable, is better for their little lungs and body functions.

I agree if you can wait then do that instead. My daughter was 6 days over due and that`s because I was induced, if I could do it over again I would just wait and have had her come on her own. But of course I was super anxious to see my babygirl. Which I`m sure you are just dying to see your baby as well.

its better for your baby to wait in my opinion

Well, I voted 20th b/c of Grandpa`s birthday BUT I`m having my baby on the 13th via second c section. Lucky 13!! And a friday the 13th b day could be made to be fun.

IF YOU CAN WAIT, GO AHEAD!!!!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
