km-dickson - Tuesday, 7 October That's right!! Week 40 is a ghost yard! Plus if it's in my mind that it's the 12th, maybe I'll be more patient.
Who am I kidding??
scottsgirl - Tuesday, 7 October I'll take the trade!!! I haven't held a newborn in 12+years!! Time sure feels so fast and soooo slow at the same time!! Good Luck! **Stacie**
*dcsfantasticfour - Tuesday, 7 October lol hotpotato~ castor oil is intended for constapation. No matter what it makes you poop. preggo or not. How it works to induce labor is the castor oil irritates the bowel mucles, and the uterus being so close to the bowels and having the same mucle structure causes the uterus to start contracting. It does work cuz Ive had friends who have done it but they all said how misserable they we're. If you want to try a natural induction the experts say that nipple stimulation is the most efective. Good Luck
Momma2BeinFlorida - Tuesday, 7 October Thanks for all the advice. I think I am going to give the pitocin a shot and see what happens...I really don't want a csection but I will do anything to make my baby happy! If I end up with one at least I know I tried everything to avoid it!
JennRunyon524 - Tuesday, 7 October Thank you!! and I KNOW it's gone so fast! I feel like I was just being pushed back to the OR yesterday! My lil angel is doing amazing and I'm actually getting some sleep at night :) She only wakes up twice, so I consider myself very lucky haha! I was getting on here to check up on you and sharra! I know you girls are due today and I was hoping to see if you were having any progress! :) Labor dust doll, your lil surprise will be here any day now :)
suezens2ndbaby - Tuesday, 7 October thanx for the response..... I just want this to be over and done with!!!!!
MaxwellsMommy - Tuesday, 7 October I know! :( I guess it didn't work! It did make me have SOOO many damn contractions like all the time every day but they never get any stronger or closer together so I guess I'm just gonna keep waiting umm since I have no choice! My friend from this website who I have gotten really close with is having her baby right now!!! JennReedy don't know if you know her she is in week 38 right now I'm sooo happy for her she has been miserable lately! But of course I'm jealous haha Well, you should be going any day now dude!! I'm surprised you're still here!! Keep me posted and I will too. Good luck- hope we both go into labor soon!!!
just-call-me-mama - Monday, 6 October I don't know how they plan on inducing me, they haven't really said yet, When I went to the doc last week I was dilated to 2 and I have never dilated that far without already being in labor and my water being broke. That's how my labor started with both of my boys, my water broke in the middle of the night.I go back tomorrow and hopefully they will tell me more. It just looks painful for them to stick that needle thing in there and break it.

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

*dcsfantasticfour - Monday, 6 October no not to painful but very uncomfortable and sooooo much pressure down there.... what sucks was they were spuratic then they were every 10 min then every 5 min then just gone! I have a Dr appointment on thursday so hopefully I get some type of good news from Dr but this has literally happened to me every week for the last 3 weeks! Last week I was in the hospital for 8 hours with painfull contractions and then they just stopped! The nurse told me that she sees it alot with women who are having there 3 baby to be in labor on and off for days!!!! Ahhhh
MzMommy2B - Sunday, 5 October Thank you! I am currently using the size 3 cruisers and i am so disappointed because they leak at night. Someone suggested Luvs and i am going to try those for overnights and cruisers during the day

12.28.08 - Saturday, 4 October Wow you and i were the exact same weight gain and our babies were the exact same birth weight!! neat!!
cms2498 - Friday, 3 October I think you are having a boy. You are carring just like I am. TONS of strangers have come up to me and said, "You are having a boy!" It's funny that some people can tell by how you are carrying.
traciemac - Friday, 3 October oh yeah they are super stoners so they probably are too lazy to clean it. My man is gonna have some words today about it. Hope ur doing great. And i hope we go into labor soon! Here's to us having baby's today ! Cheers
surprsdmomi - Friday, 3 October look at your pretty belly!!
km-dickson - Thursday, 2 October Still look freakin' AWESOME! You should be so proud of that bod! My guess is boy.
km-dickson - Thursday, 2 October Awesome, I'm so glad your blood pressure went back down! I know you're wanting your body to do things on its own and not have to be induced. I know exactly how you feel about not feeling badly rnough to give birth anytime soon! There are times where I feel miserable and am hurting a bit, but for the most part, I still feel really good. I'm thinking there is no way I'll have him on or before Sunday. And, of course, my MIL sees me last night and is like, "Oh, you've got another week and a half, at least!" I was like, THANKS. I know that, but do we have to say it out loud?? lol I don't even think I've dropped. Have you?
sarandoc - Thursday, 2 October Well I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with this problem lol. I'm so ready to have him, and it's so depressing when my husband will send me a text message from work asking me if I've had any contractions, and i reply no :(
Natalies Roti Baby - Thursday, 2 October Im actually having her at a birth center. I took a tour of the hospital in Georgia where I was supposed to give birth and it was ok but then when we were in Miami for our baby shower my husband and I toured a birth center and after 10 minutes I broke down crying and kept saying I dont wanna have my baby in a hospital. It was so warm and nice and it felt like I was at home. No one will look down on you for getting the epi. Everyone has a different pain limit. Just go in there with a cool head and try to relax as much as possible, Dont feel bad and dont beat yourself up about it if you do get one. I was told that you can tell them not to offer you drugs that you can tell them to wait for you to ask for it. Ask your doctors and see what they say.
km-dickson - Thursday, 2 October Hey, how'd your appointment go?
No.1mama - Wednesday, 1 October awesome!!! that makes me feel so uch better. So when do you start to show?
