My husband and I are expecting our first son on April 10th, 2008, but hoping he'll make his appearance sooner! Like tonight? lol. I've been with this page since we found out back in August and am just now figuring out how to fill it out. This section particularly...isn't compatible with Safari on Mac's.

So its off to week 38 tomorrow, I took two tbsp of Castor Oil today around 3pm, its 5:45 pm and I feel UNDER THE WEATHER! I `m not having loose BM, but they `re softening! Eww. Definitely nauseated but nothing crazy yet. Some new pains are coming on (like sharp menstrual pains), and baby is moving a lot.

Wednesday, 26 Mar
Okay ladies, I `m done with the Castor Oil!! I just got back from my 38 Week OB appt., and I am scheduled for induction on 4/3/08 for a 4/4/08 arrival of baby Beau. His name will be Beau Magnus and I cannot WAIT for his arrival!!! I am just elated to have a set date that I am sure to have this baby! YAY!

I also forgot to mention, at 36 weeks the midwife at my ob told me I was 70% effaced and `one fingertip, ` Today my OB actually checked me (I rarely see HER) and she said my cervix is still quite hard (not very effaced) BUT, 1 cm dilated....which is what I guesstimated when I went in myself this week. I found a doughnut hole about the size of my pointer finger. So anyway, just thought I `d share for those who asked me about checking yourself. Now that I am scheduled for a 4/3 induction I `m searching high and low for ways to help my poor cervix soften up before the big day(s)!!! Hmmm....

Friday, 28 Mar
So I woke up this morning feeling as though I hadn `t slept all night, cranky, crampy, and low and behold about a Tbsp of clear goo with a tinge of blood in it. I `ll go ahead and chalk that up to yesterdays OB prodding. Still I `m happy to have some sign of SOMETHING happening. I suppose that might be frustrating to hear for some, but so far I `ve had nothing except the things I `asked for. ` Seven days until my induction, although since the goo incident I `ve been feeling a lot more of those stitchy, pricking pains down stairs. Wouldn `t it be a true miracle if he did come on his own. For some reason that concept is far beyond my comprehension at this point. I kept my crab attitude all day long, had a nap at 2-4pm and am just now snapping out of it and thinking about being productive.

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

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

Sx

MY WATER BROKE BEFORE THE INDUCTION! YAY! So I'm in the hospital right now with Baby Beau and my hubby. I had him at 7pm last night after checking in due to my water breaking at 1:30 am Sunday night! I'll be posting my birthstory soon!

Love and Labor Dust to ALL!!

Thanks for your thoughts. I really appreciate it. This baby is like a peaceful angel helping me through.


Cryptic304 - Thursday, 27 Mar
well I am in labor tech but still home. Basically we are waiting for her head to engage so I get to sit at home in labor pains and such till whenever. Tuesday I get induced so basically till then. Unless my water breaks which we are really hoping for at any moment. And gosh...I am so nauseated today!

Ha, so yea basically with you...just waiting.


Cryptic304 - Thursday, 27 Mar
Thank you honey, I appreciate that. How you feeling?


dawnp - Wednesday, 26 Mar
how many weeks when they stripped my membranes and i took the castor oil?? i was 39 weeks to the day! i had 1 hour of labor and a 15 minute delivery. my dr yelled at me because i didnt call, but i thought i was having poop pains. if it works i suggest it, but what i went thru the other nite was awful! i guess just try it.


havana*luna - Wednesday, 26 Mar
hey i was reading ur posts about castor oil and u really made me laugh lol! but im so sorry it didnt work for u after all those 'side effects'


mrt2153 - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Thanks--I'll try Mozilla. And that's cool about finding your own cervix--I may have to give that a try. Good luck with your castor oil!


mrt2153 - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Hey there--I had trouble with using my Mac to update my page too. I don't use the edit feature--I can't make it work. I just write updates in the message box and click on 'this is an update' or something like that, and it posts it. But now that I think about it, it looks like you figured it out since you've got cool colors and stuff going--maybe I should be getting advice instead of giving it! Also--is it hard to check your own cervix? I haven't ever tried--I didn't think I could reach.


navywife - Wednesday, 26 Mar
ok..well goodluck i hope you go into labor and oush the little one out... =)



navywife - Wednesday, 26 Mar
wow! i will try later but i doubt im dilated im only 37 weeks and 3 days. my cousin got induced monday when she was 38 weeks and 1 day. i thought i was going to cry. I want the baby so bad. i would do castor oil but i dont want to ask my doctor. i just want to do it. ill cross my fingers for you. what do you feel now? how long ago did you take it?


navywife - Wednesday, 26 Mar
hey! how do you check your won cervix? i cant reach lol sorry just curious. i was tol i have a titled cevix of something like that maybe that affects the whole reaching thing. goodluck with the castor oil thing. ur brave!


Cryptic304 - Wednesday, 26 Mar
I used my daughters lil medicine measuring cup and used 2tsps yesterday with alot of orange juice. Tonight I used 3tsps. I wouldnt use more than 4tsps though. Ive heard of women using up to 6 or the whole bottle kinda thing. And then they wonder why they get so sick....
