i have a couple friends just like your friend... they havent bothered to call me the entire 9 months but now that they know my due date is coming up they all suddenly are starting to call.. but i know its only because they wanna be the first to know when my little one is born so they can be the first to tell everyone.. i put my foot down and havent been returning calls and have said "ive been sleeping alot" and i dont plan on calling any of them when she is born... your going to be to busy and prooccupied once your baby is born to call everyone id just ignore her and not give in to her.. she only wants to be included for her own selfish reasons. thats just my opinion : )

I had BH all day long yesterday and the majority of today. They won't stay consistant though. I thought for sure yesterday was going to be the day. I don't understand either. But at least our uterus is doing something!

You could just send her a generic text to her phone of baby's stats after baby is born and then don't answer any calls or texts from her. Would she show up at the hospital w/out asking? That way she's been notified, but you could ignore her after that? I have a similar situation, but I don't think she'd show up without asking, so that's my plan! lol

All you should do is think about you and the baby. Who cares what she thinks? She is entirely selfish and crass, you certainly don't want that around you!!! You can either avoid her phonecalls or just say you are keeping visitors to a minimum until you have more energy, etc. But remember only on your wedding day and your birthing day do you get to call the shots completely. And, 9 times out of 10 people regret not calling the shots than calling them. So feel no guilt, her issues are hers. Good luck!!!

Wow. I'd be ticked too. Ticked at the sister for stealing your thunder on a regular basis, ticked at the family for not helping plan vacations to maximize your husband's ability to be with you. Although the 7 month pregnant SIL traveling now before she can't anymore makes some sense to me, the fact that takin g the vacation means you can't have your husband's help is bothersome. They just don't think before they act, I guess. Clearly you are a planner - 1 1/2 year engagement to plan the wedding - and they are not. I understand your frustration. I don't know what I'd do ... try to just focus on my immediate family - hubby and baby. And I'm with you on scheduling vaca during SIL's birth! hah!

I read ur post and i would be hurt also. My half sister is leaving today and gonna be gone all week...im due Saturday! Than...my bfs boss which is more or less his dad is going away tomorrow 2!...So they don't seem to care...Its like whatever, if they think vaca is more important than they arent worth me stressing over....but ur hubby should be there at least the first week!...Im hoping my bf will be around but we are moving in Sept. so he has to do all the moving and i kinda feel bad about that...anyway..y are not alone!!!! Good luck with everything!

i am with ya on the question on how to get induced.... Im due monday... and the doctor said they wouldnt let me go more than 5 days/week past my due date... I am hoping that is the truth!!

jekajoy - 44.8 hours ago
I'm only being induced early because of low levels of amniotic fluid and the baby hasn't gained hardly any weight in the last 4 weeks. Other than that I'd be in week 42 as well because I am 0% effaced and 1 cm dilated.

I know just how you feel! I've gained about 47 pounds now, a good 5-6 just in the last week or two! I feel like my body hates me. I have stretch marks all over my thighs, inside and on the outer side, all over my lower belly & creeping around my belly button & on the bottom of my boobs. I get upset sometimes just wishing she'd come out already before any more damage can be done to my poor body! I'm so worried that even after I lose the weight, my skin will be flabby & never go back to normal... I can deal with faded stretch marks, but extra skin really upsets me.

Most of us are having these kind of feelings during the home stretch it seems. Just remember we're almost there and you're not alone!

Mother nature really just needs to catch up with the times and make it so women's skin stretches perfectly to adjust for baby & then snaps right back with no scarring! lol.

Girl, I feel ya totally and almost at 50 too! I hate this part of pregnancy and just want to hold our daughter, I got my shower pics back and just wanted to cry looking at them. I feel so big and pale and just want me back. I don't think I'll ever be considered petite again! Let's just keep telling ourselves it's the final countdown and can't get too much worse. xoxso

ja312sta - Saturday, 19 July
I saw your post in 38 weeks and I wanted to tell you that you are not alone. I was crying this afternoon because I couldn't do it any more. I seriously feel huge and wonder if I will ever be the same. I am sure we will both get over this little hump soon. I just thought it might help you to know that it is normal and you are not alone.

Mommad - Friday, 18 July
Im not happy or progressing! I've been 3 cms for 2 weeks! My body disgusts me too. It will get back to normal...believe it or not. I gained 55 lbs with my first and I got back down so quick. I 've gained 50 this time and feel horrible about it. My husband hasn't even gained any sympathy weight! He's lost 15 lbs!!!! So not fair. He changed jobs that requires him to be up and moving more than his other job...still it's not fair. This will not last forever even though it seems that way. Honey, you are so pretty. You will bounce back so fast. Hang in there.

i wanted to say i know how u feel. this is my fourth baby and i didnt get any new stretch marks with my last 2, but my first baby messed me up so bad. i was young (18)and i dont think my skin was done growing before i stretched it all out. he was 2 weeks early and 8 lbs. 12 oz. i was only 119 lbs when i got pregnant with him, being 5'7 i was think build. when i delivered him i weighed 179. my stomach bled from the stretch marks while i was prego with him. i got them on my butt, my stomach, my inner thighs and my hips. neddless to say i can never wear a bikini again. not only did i get stretch marks, but my elasticity on my stomach never went back either, so my belly is constantly stretchy and loose skin. sit ups wont help ( its flat but the skin never went back) u cant tell that its that way when i have clothes on, but u dont want to see me without them. i will have to have a tummy tuck to for it ever to look good again. everyone always says how good i look after having 3 kids , but it makes me upset, because i know what i look like underneath it all. but i know now that its worth it. dont worry about the stretch marks. they really dont fade that much, but no one will see u besides ur husband anyway so who cares. i had a hard time for a long time too. well just know that its worth it. hope u do well.

Hi-- I also read your post and just wanted to say a few things.. first off, i have 3 very petite friends who gained over 50 lbs during their pregnancies and was able to lose all of it shortly afterwards and i honestly see you being able to do the same thing. Secondly, regarding stretch marks, i was lucky to not have gotten any on my belly but i did get some on my thighs. And although they may look bad due to the color, stretch marks fade over time and will no longer be red. Lastly, I totally understand how you feel. I was depressed for over a year after an accident with sulfuric acid at work that left me with a scar which eventually turned into a keloid (raised reddish bump). now imagine having it in the middle of your upper chest just right below your collarbone. at first i was able to conceal it with makeup but overtime it grew to where it was no longer concealable. imagine giving up your favorite clothes, no more tank tops, tube tops, or any top that would show the scar. i was stressing soo much on what to wear for my own wedding because i was limited on gowns, and couldn't wear the tube top dress i've always pictured i'd wear for my wedding. i guess what im trying to say is there are far worser things that other people have to live with on a daily basis. i dont wear a lot of shorts so i could care less about my legs and if you have stretch marks on your stomach almost anything you wear will cover it up. but it is very frustrating and hard to find tops to wear, and i feel pretty much limited to just plain-ol t-shirts. for the longest time i felt hideous and very unfortunate, but later started noticing other people with even worser conditions. It didn't make me feel happier, but i thought, if they could live through it and be happy why can't i?? what also helped me through with my depression was my husband, who at the time was only a friend and eventually became a lover. if your guy is anything like mine, believe him when he says he loves you, because if he didn't, he wouldn't be here and constantly tell you how beautiful you are and do all that he does for you. i know it's hard, but eventually by accepting that there will always be this one guy who will love you unconditionally no matter how you look on the outside HELPS A LOT and then you will accept how you look and be much happier too. gluck to you and i hope sharing my experience which i never had online will help you go through yours. life is short, cheer up.. and believe it.. you're beautiful! =)

Hey I just saw your post and I just want to say I understand how you feel.. I was tiny before pregnancy too and now I have stretch marks that I know will be there forever and I get pretty emotional about it. My husband has been in Iraq with the war and he's going to come home and not even recognize me with all these new scars. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now, but remember that once you're holding your baby in your arms it's going to all be worth it. And we live in a day where in a few years they will probably have some magical cream that makes them disappear thanks to technology. Keep your chin up, there's not too much longer to go :).

Hey Girl!
I hate to have read that you don't believe your husband when he tells you your beautiful!! And don't feel bad, I haent started dialating, effacing, or anything yet either, and I have HORRIBLE stretch marks on my stomach also. When I first got pregnant, in the first 2 months I lost 26 pounds of my body weight and then in abou another 2 month time period I gained all my baby weight, and I ahve the horrible stretch marks to prove it. It sucks what women have to go through to bring a mirale into the world. I'm having a little boy also and I know how you feel about wanting him here already, and I totally agree with you about that full moon thing! I totaly believe it! But please don't be so down on yourself. Obviously your husband loves you no matter what, despite the stretch marks because he tells you that your beautiful every day. Pregnant women ARE beautiful women, despite all the stretch marks that come with it, remember there's life in there, your son, and the stretch marks won't matter to you at all!
and I looked at your pictures, girl you are VERY beautiful, with or withOUT all the stretch marks, nothing will evre change that!!

i just had this breakdown literally a half hour ago i have stretch marks everywhere and they are bad and i know i wont ever be the same as i was before and although i feel bad that i am soo depressed about it cuz i know something amazing will eventually come out of it it is very hard to see that when our babies arent here yet and we dont know how it feels to meet a baby for the first time

dasha - Friday, 18 July
Chica, so are so damned hot what are you worried about!!! You're TWENTY-SIX, for heaven's sake, think about those of us in our thirties that don't have your elasticity!!! I know it hurts just the same (i'm a ballet dancer who was already ten pounds off my dance weight when I got pregnant, so have to lose a total of 43 pounds, or else I might lose my job), because I've cried too (ALOT), but trust in mother nature...she'll take care of you.....now I'll go finish the rest of your message, because I was hurtin' so bad for you I ran here to write you a note.....

1st-time-mommy - Wednesday, 16 July
thanks, i will pick one up asap! do they sell them in local stroes like target and stuff or do i have to go to a bookstore? i need to start reading soon because ive been having regular contractions for the past few days and just found out that i am 2.5 to almost 3 cm dilated and she is still head down! good news all around.. i can't wait to have her =) how is your is pregnancy coming along? hope everything is GREAT and do you know what you're having?

1st-time-mommy - Saturday, 12 July
hey, thanks for your comment about the child birth classes from a week ago! with only a few wks left and still in summer school, i'll just wing it! and you are right, we've been doing this naturally w/out any help for years so i shouldn't worry so much. right now i only have "what to expect when you're expecting" 8th edition, but thanks for recommending "from the hips," i'll look into that! hope you are doing GREAT-- not so long left to go!!

Thank you, she is a little on the unstable side!!! She is the baby of the family and as my hubby puts it...if it has nothing to do with making her life better then she is a B. He has never liked her and I have tried but she doesn't make it easy. She was 5 months with her first when I found out I was pregnant with my first and she did not speak to me until she gave birth. Oh well, life goes on. She will either get over it or not.

lol, it is pretty embaressing. I'm asuming its the baby 'head-butting' our va-jayjay b/c it only happens when he's moving. It sure does hurt though!!
