Well, my baby girl finally came on April 7th by C-section, 17 hours after my water broke. It's wonderful to have her here!!

*********************************************

As of last Thursday, I was 4cm dialated, 100% effaced, the baby was at a 0 station, and now I have lost my mucus plug about 3 weeks ago. What's keeping her in there all this time? My doctor really thought she would come Thursday or Friday, but now it's Sunday. I hope she comes soon!

**********************************************

On 3/31, I'll be at my due date. No baby yet:( I am dialated 3cm, lost my mucus plug 10 days ago, and am 100% effaced. All I need are contractions to start. I try going on walks, but nothing more than Braxton Hicks occur:( I guess it's not time yet. Sigh. I am happy that I am on maternity leave and have much less stress. Any day now!

********************************

I'm at 37 weeks. For the past few days, my lower abdominal area has been quite sore. I guess it's Braxton Hicks. It's often hard to stand up and walk around, but other times I feel normal. I hope that they change into "true" contractions soon. Can't wait to meet the baby girl! I wonder what she'll look like.

Hi Peach, I had an unplanned c-section too due to baby being breech at 2 weeks overdue. The doctore messed up during pregnancy and saw the head for the bum and vice versa. I did cry on the prep table until the anestesiologist told me to settle down. It went fine during the operation. Afterward, I just reasoned that this was the way it happened. I have a beautiful boy who's healthy and I am recuperating well. I prepped for labour and vaginal birth during my pregnancy, but will go through life not knowing what a contraction is!! Ha, ha. Anyway, I am glad that you are doing well!

Thanks for the pumping info. I was wondering how many times a day do you pump to get those 5 ounces?

Hey beautiful Peach, thank you so very much for your response. I've actually come to the same conclusion that I usually wait a 'few' minutes before putting my baby back in her bed...it's been working the last couple of times so hopefully it conintues :) I'm definitely going to be using the 'floppy-arm' test from now on though. Hope you and your beautiful daughter are well and happyyyyy. Stay beautiful!...((((hugs))))

Hi ! Thanks for the offer ! My son is in a very good program right now. I was looking for other moms to connect with. Many blessings to you and yours!

Make sure that babe is really asleep when you move her into a crib/bassinet/ anything else. Babies need a good 20 minutes of quiet sleep before they fall into deep sleep. So don't try to put her down until she passes the limp arm test (you pick up her arm and drop it and she doesn't flinch). Then try to move her. If you try to put her down too early, she'll wake up.

hi there ~ saw yr post about baby waking up when you put her down in the bassinet. with my son and lots of babies, it's all about the temperature change from arms to bed -- they feel how much cooler the bed is and it wakes them up. not sure if you've tried flannel pads or blankets which are warmer than cotton, or a swaddler. and one other trick i've learned is to lower the baby into bed quite slowly and, once they're down, put one hand on their chest for a minute or two -- this keeps that feeling of warmth and closeness that they like in place so they can fall asleep again. once they're out, you can remove your hand and tiptoe out, lol. hope this helps :)

Congratulations!! I think I am the only one left that still hasn't had her baby!!! I am 14 days overdue and waiting a call for induction. The waiting is torture!
Enjoy and good luck to you and your family.

God's Time Is Perfect...I like that. I think that's going to have to be my mantra for 2008.

Pants with snaps might be hard to find, but try Babies R Us or the Gerber brand specifically.

OK I am glad some women responded to your question about what to dress on the lower half. I truly have had the exact same thoughts and questions. Now I know too!

gonzjan - Sunday, 16 Mar
HI,
You can try babies R us for the stretchy pants. They always have stuff. You can goto the website to look. www.babiesrus.com
Good luck. :)

o ya, as far as the little cotton slip on pants, Carters and Gap make the best ones. They look really cute and wash well.

momoffive - Sunday, 16 Mar
I am on my 4th baby. All of them were late winter to spring. I put mine in the cute onsies with the coordinating slip on pants and a little jacket or cardigan. That way they could start in 3 layers and I would strip them down as it warmed up. I have millions of them for this baby also. You will want lots of soft cozy things to dress the baby in.

Hi there! I've got 3 kids. For my second 2 (born in the summer) I would usually just put a onesie on them at home so they didn't get too hot. As for pants, I really think it's easier to slip off a little pair of pants than do the snaps and things just on those. Pajamas and footed playsuit kind of things are much easier with the snap crotch, though. I know I had a hard time finding just little pants, but my youngest is 3 1/2 right now, and I've actually seen quite a few more just pants at Walmart and places like that. Good luck!

I bought cotton pants from old navy and also carter's has some.

FOr me, my labor was similar to menstrual cramps and diarreah-like cramps. In fact, when I pushed my daughter out, it felt like the worlds best bowel movement EVER! The cramping was intens, but compared to how fast they hit, I'd say the frequency makes it worse. Get you a couple of stress balls to squeeze or something. Good Luck.

Hey! I have endometriosis and chronic inflammation of the bladder, (thank god no paind during pregnacy, hopefully it clears up) but when i did get my periods, i could not function, ...finally the doctor gave me perkaset and i could take 3 and it would not touch the pain!! i would just take sleeping pills till i passed out...i had to just lie there on the heating pad for hours!!! so i know pain,,,, i figure if i can handle that i can handel that.,..sounds like we have a high threshold for pain, dont worry i think its a different kind of pain, not like the period from hell pain :) hope that helps!!

worse! with my first baby I thought there would be no way I would want an epidural. I quickly changed my mind! the epi is not the big deal a lot of people make it out to be. I did not even feel it when they did it and I actually enjoyed the rest of my labor and birth. see how much you can handle and keep your mind open to pain relief. It was bearable for me until they broke my water.
