omg i can't believe you haven't had your baby yet. i went into labor before i was able to be induced but i think you should definately tell your doctor to break your water because my baby's skin is sooo dry from being in there so long and he was a HUGE baby. i don't know if you will end in csection or regular but try to get up and moving as best as you can once the baby is born because staying in the hospital SUCKS. i thought i'd like the break and having them cater to me and bring me my drinks and rest and watch tv but they bug you every hour almost whether you are sleeping or not. i think that was the worst part of the whole thing. i was out of the hospital in 2 days and am finishing recovering at home after my c-section because i was MISERABLE

well, that choice is up to you! but i regret telling my doctor to pop my bag. if i had waited we would have progressed and I wouldn't have had a C b/c we both stopped immediately after she broke my water. But being so late...sheesh. your little one is comfy! and you must be miserable.

I am 25 weeks and 3 days, CRAZY!!!! But I can't figure out what is going on. I am currently getting kicked or punched pretty low down there, but earlier it was right at the top of my tummy... It is for sure stronger at the top of my tummy though. I thought that she had flipped at first which obviously excited me, but now I don't know! Anyone else going through this or has gone through this?

I'm sorry.. I really do feel bad, I'm not just saying that. And I want you to know if my baby doesn't go overdue I will be so thankful and grateful and will think of you the whole time! I've been expecting him late though since most of my Mom's pregnancies were so late..but we'll see. I hope you are able to stick with your plan of natural childbirth, so I hope the baby comes soon!

teagzy - 25.6 hours ago
Oh hun.. Im keeping my fingers crossed for you.. I really hope your little one comes asap. 4 hours of housework i think got me going lol.. I feel for you so much and wish i could make baby come for you.. If taylah didnt come friday i would still be waiting too.. Just keep your head up it wont be long now. You will have your gorgeous baby in your arms in no time.. *~*~Labour dust to you *~*~. Keep me updated xoxo..

Aww! Poor you! I really hope baby comes soon for you. I can't begin to imagine how you feel, i was getting annoyed and uncomfortable by 38 weeks. Hope to hear some baby news soon!!! Xxx

blakesmommy31708 - 28.4 hours ago
I feel sooo bad for you! My biggest fear was going overdue and CMH didnt want to induce till you were 3 weeks overdue. I cried the day my doc told me that, but luckily Blake came on his own 2 days before his due date. I hope you go soon!!!!! Im in Winona BTW, kinda weird seeing someone on here that lives so close lol!

icka - 31.6 hours ago
:**(. these babies are so damn stubborn. I don't see why they won't do it? especially since you are like 4cm dilated. They should be offering to break your water at this point. My stepfather was telling me how his son was 14 days overdue. Yeah way to comfort an overdue pregnant women. STUPID STEPFATHER!! STUPID DOCTORS!!!

FirstTimeMommyR - 32.5 hours ago
Whoa! You're way overdue! Good luck ~ hope it's soon

pari-08 - 32.7 hours ago
Trust me enjoy the time you have.. once you have the baby u will have no time for your self... But hey if you want you can always induce labor.. best of luck.. oh yea and I had my baby... three days before due date..

sorry disappeared last night. My bf is trying to make me obese and taking me to an all you can eat buffet for breakfast. I feel like I'm about to get my period or like I drank too much coffee. Maybe I'll give birth eventually after all. Probably not though. The baby is determined to keep me fat and unpleasant. I'm going to get animal crossing later. I'll let you know how it is.

icka - Sunday, 16 November
did i ask you if you use aim?

icka - Sunday, 16 November
ugh im so pissed off brock lesner just won a UFC fight because he got lucky. Such cheese!!!!!!!! I think I just like to be mad these past few days though haha. Yeah we picked out the middle name Nowell. Pronounced Nole. Like Bradley Nowell from sublime. My vote was for Elliot but Mike didn't like it. BOO on him. Originally I wanted to name him Jonah and Mike wanted to name him christmas hahahaha. He would still love to name him Christmas. He tells me everyone loves christmas and that's why we should name him that.

i had my baby.. .14th november 9.41pm. Little girl. Taylah Eve Burgoyne. weighing 8 pounds 4 ounces. Head full of hair.. she is gorgeous.

rachel8 - Sunday, 16 November
Even though I have no past history to show me that I can do this all naturally more then the next person.. I am a little more confident because I'm not scared at ALL. I've really educated myself on birth and because I'm surrounded by people who speak positively of natural childbirth, I think that helps a lot too. My Mother really encouraged me to go all natural even just for the emotional side of it. She spoke of being able to "feel" them come out and be in control of your body. I want that. She did it with all 4 kids, twins, 9 1/2 pound baby-me, and my brother even with pitocin. I just feel like if my Mom can do it, why can't I? So I'm determined!!

rachel8 - Sunday, 16 November
Yea and thats awesome. I'm just not that dedicated..haha. I think its awesome when you can be all organic and natural, its what we all should do..but that requires a lot of work and effort. Which I'm not willing to do..haha.

rachel8 - Sunday, 16 November
That's awesome that you want to go natural! I'm in the same boat..but I don't plan on doing a water birth. But I'm reading a book right now called "Birth"..its about the history of childbirth. They talk about water birth in there and it talks about how great it can be. I hope it works for you! But I completely support and back anyone who wants to try for all natural..I think everyone should give it a shot. I feel I owe it to myself as a woman to let my body go at it on it's own and watch how amazing my body is in its most natural form. I'm not one of those all organic people or anything.. I think I'm more just old fashioned and think that God made us well enough that we don't need meds and all. But I can't swear on my life that I'll go all natural in the end, but its what I really really want.

icka - Sunday, 16 November
awww sounds exciting. If we keep in touch we should do lunch all together :-D If the babies are born by then HAHAHAHAHA

icka - Saturday, 15 November
Hopefully it will get over a 9. It is only 1 player though. I use to live right next to fresh meadows in bayside and flushing. Now i live on long island about 25 minutes away. Do you come up for the holidays?

Emilie - Saturday, 15 November
