My mood while writing this blog: booo who |
I am so jealous of all you wonderful women whose pregnancies are progressing. I went today for my scheduled visit and was sure there would be some progression. I have been walking every day, drinking 3 mugs full of red rasberry leaf tea, been intamite with my husband, eaten spicy foods, all the usual stuff people tell you to do to help aid in dialation moving along the pregnancy. I have been having contractions for almost a month now. I am tired and cranky and most of all I am so very anxious to just hold him. Well needless to say there was absolutely nothing. He is being a stubbern little fella. I am not dialated at all. So disappointed!!! The OB reminded me that with my daughters I didn't dialate till the day before they were born so hopeful they will see me at the hospital with in the week. If not they would see my next Thursday for my 39 wk appt. I wasn't happy hearing those words either. 39 weeks even though I was told I wouldn't make it to 37. I felt so bad for my husband. As we walked out of the office and stepped into the elevator I couldn't hold back and began crying. (I HATE THESE SILLY HORMONES) He's a good man though. He just rapped his arms around me, kissed my forhead and said honey don't worry he will be here soon enough." As we walked to our car he grabbed my hand and said "I love you sweet heart. I know your upset but you don't have to be he just wants to stay as close to you as he can." So I guess I will just have to focus on that.

Saturday, 12 Sep i feel all teary now, that's a beautiful thing to say.try nipple stimulation, it produces oxcytocin, the same drug they use for induction. if your body is ready then it will work, otherwise it won't. try this web link for more info.. http://www.birthingnaturally.net/cn/technique/nipple.htmli successfully self induced my first child with nipple stimulation on his due date. my other 2 only started after a stretch and sweep when i was 3 - 10 days overdue. each person is different, but worth a shot anyway. good luck. he WILL be here soon. thinking of you.

Thursday, 10 Sep Don't feel bad my dr won't even check me until I start having contractions regularly, so I don't even get the choice to know, very frustrating! I am so ready to meet my lo too it makes me cry as well! We are in pain, waddling etc and are just ready !! Your husband sounds like he is very supportive, you are lucky to have him, I'm sure those words help at this point. Hopefully your lo will be here asap and mine too! cuddlebunnymeg -
