sickasadog - Saturday, 12 April congratulations on the birth of your baby. glad he finally arrived!
bluebeanz - Saturday, 12 April You haven't messaged..... I'm hoping that means you are finally having your little pumpkin! Good luck and let us know when you can. :D Easy labour/delivery dust to you!
coliflower - Wednesday, 9 April I had my sweep yesterday and it was more painful than an internal. I have nerve endings all the way up there though so that could be why it hurt so bad. All it has done so far is give me BAD backache and cramps. I also bled a little after wards and have had a lot of mucus. Actually I am at the point where I am wondering if it is amniotic fluid or not that is how much there is. I wish you all the best with everything and don't worry about the sweep. you will get through it ok.
babyoneG - Wednesday, 9 April I was so hoping that you were in real labor. I want all of us to be done with this! Have you had a membrane sweep before? If not, don't worry about it. I have had two and they are just uncomfortable. Not painful. Good luck.
mollify - Tuesday, 8 April I am also having long bouts of contractions that result in NOTHING. I've never been so frustrated and I wouldn't wish this upon anybody. It's so annoying feeling for every little contractions or pain and then wondering if that was a real one or not, only to have them completely stop within hours. I had contractions 5 mins apart for about a day and a half that never got stronger and then suddenly they stopped. This morning it did it again for about 4 hours, and now I've got nothing again. I can't believe what a rollercoaster this is. Hopefully we will both be in natural labor within a day. I don't want to be induced but am scheduled for Thursday night/Friday morning. Good luck and I'm thinking laborious thoughts for everyone that is over due
emmz84 - Tuesday, 8 April
hey chick, i cant believe ya still hanging on, bet its pissing you off!! it seems like ages ago now, me being pregnant, it must be awful being overdue, u have my sympathy! but it will be worth it in the end! please keep me informed with the birth details. xxx
dmtheria - Tuesday, 8 April I think I am going to go crazy, but I am getting induced tomorrow. I am just so frustrated with my body for not going into labour naturally!!! My Dr. said I am 100% effaced and 2 cm dialated- I have had my cervix stripped 3 times and nothing!!! They are estimating my baby boy at 9lbs! It is so frustrating! So, that is me......how are you doing? What are their plans with you?
italosprincess - Monday, 7 April yeah, I'm definitely waiting too and feel your pain. I'm feeling ok mostly, but sleep is getting harder, my feet hurt, I'm feeling so fat and missing my old body, and I'm constantly hungry but don't really want to eat! How are you feeling?? Hopefully we will both go soon so we can feel like ourselves again!! Make sure and keep us all updated!
lisasmells - Monday, 7 April omg it looked exactly the same as mine lol, same shapd head haha!
jessy613 - Sunday, 6 April i totally understand how you are feeling about being a week overdue. pretty shitty isn't it? im tired of people saying "take ur ass to hospital and go have a baby would ya" it drives me absolutley nuts..and i dont think ill be able to handle it if one more person asks me if ive had my kid yet..lol..sorry to vent but im just as frustrated as you are..its terrible and my dr wont even talk about an induction date until april 8th, and t
Lisa85 - Friday, 4 April Ive had a few twinges n i sumtimes get a bit of pain 'down there' but nothin ever seems to happen. I hav the hosp on mon to c how often im contracting n to get a date to b induced. Do u hav a date yet? I am hopin i go into labour this wkend so i dnt hav to b induced but i cnt c it happenin :(
Lisa85 - Thursday, 3 April lol i know the feeling. Everyone else seems to b goin into labour or gettin induced.

Cant w8 until baby is here and im not pregnant anymore lol How hav u bn feelin? Hav u had any signs that baby mite b on its way?
babydane - Thursday, 3 April Hey girl, don't feel bad at all. I went to see my doctor on Monday. He said I have progressed more, so he pushed back my induction date to the 8th. I was going to go on the 2nd "IF" I didn't progress from week 39, but I did. He said with more progress the easier the induction would be. So I will be having my baby girl FINALLY on the 8th. Tuesday cannot come fast enough. This has been my slowest week out of the entire pregnancy! LOL Hey I really thought you had your baby, because I am used to seeing your post at least once a day! So I'm glad to see you back, and don't worry my baby is still up floating around. I guess what we expect at the end really doesn't always turn out the way we imagined it. There is an end in sight, though we will be having our babies next week if we don't go on our own in the meantime !!! Keep in touch as I will do the same !! ~Kim
ErinS1121 - Monday, 31 Mar omg, i have the shooting pains in my vagina too!!!! What is it? what does it mean? i was gonna call the dr but decided to ask ppl on here instead!!!
karinaM - Monday, 31 Mar don,t worry about the pads in the hospital they have some huge ones, and once you get home your bleeding is like a normal period. at least thats what happened to me.don't worry about everything!!!!enjoy and the nurses will help you if you need it......
Jo-Mama - Sunday, 30 Mar I think the word 'sterile' gets misused a lot. I mean, nothing really stays sterile. All you can do is keep things as clean as possible but the baby's going to be putting unsterile things in his mouth all the time. Your hands aren't sterile, at least they won't be all the time. So I wouldn't worry about it. My friend told me the other day that she stopped sterilizing everything when she saw her baby licking the floor and realized that the world isn't a very sterile place.
sickasadog - Sunday, 30 Mar I was all about sterilizing with my first and then was like whatever with the 2nd one. They both are very healthy kids. I would say sterilize it and then put them in a storage bag or something like that and you should be fine. You can always rinse the bottle again when you actually use it at the hospital. I only used the hospital stuff when I was there.
Lisa85 - Thursday, 27 Mar Just read ur comment on the 39wks pregnant page and i agree. I am sooo sick of people constantly askn if ive popped yet or askn wen hes actualy goin to come out as if im supposed to no. A friend of mine fones me about 8 or 9 times A DAY to c if ive popped yet. Its got the the stage where i reject her calls or jst keep my fone off so i dnt hav to spk to her. Anyway gd luck with the rest of ur pregnancy n i hope ur labour is a fast 1
beckim82 - Thursday, 27 Mar Even more annoying than 'haven't you had that baby yet?' are those people (almost always men it seems) who can't help but comment on your size: 'wow, you're huge!' My husband's stupid uncle actually made penguin sounds at me, then told me the pregnancy was all in my head. ?? But don't worry, soon the dumb pregnancy comments will end, and be replaced by nosy parenting comments!
newbaby1 - Wednesday, 26 Mar Hey girl, I was just like you....totally petrified about labour.....I was induced and let me tell you.....it was an amazing experience!! Don't be scared....we are stronger than we think! I will keep you in my prayers. :)
emmz84 - Wednesday, 26 Mar hi, motherhood is great,wierd.... ha, doesn't really feel like much has changed, she is so good, she sleeps all day wakes up every 3 hours,cries to let me know she wants feeding or changing, then quiet again,i sometimes forget she is here ,i'm sure it will get harder. no signs yet then eh... get eating hot curries or have sex.... ha that might bring it on. good luck xxx
emmz84 - Monday, 24 Mar hi, just a quick note, how are u? still hanging on? i still can't believe i have my baby already, she still isnt supposed to be due till sat!! ha its mad, drop me a line when u drop, and tell me all about it... xxxxx
momagain - Thursday, 20 Mar Well, you were in her house, so you were right about not saying anything. I know how I am, I can't put on a show for anyone. If I don't want to be bothered, I just won't go anywhere :-)
Kimbee003 - Thursday, 20 Mar this is funny, every time i read/see your name 'delibelly,' it makes me hungry. I think it's because i think of a resturaunt here called Jason's Deli, and i love their turkey wraps. Damnit i am hungry and broke :(
Jo-Mama - Thursday, 20 Mar Family members can drive me nuts too. And I hate it when people smoke around me because I'm way too chicken to tell them not to. My mom smokes like a chimney and I have no idea how I'm going to handle visiting her. She would never smoke in my house, but she would NEVER NOT smoke in hers. I understand, but it means I won't be bringing the baby over for very long visits.
