Sarah Did you try layin on the couch. It seems to take a lot of pressure off my back. Joyce and Jane Hang in there and hopefully it will happen any day. I went and seen my doc and he said that im a little soft down there but not close to dilating yet. He said most likely I will be induced on the 29th or the 30th. wich sucks real bad cause everyone I have talked to said when they induce you it makes the contractions and everything else about the labor like 10 times worse :(. Jesse did you have the baby yet? how is it going?

Congratulations Jane! How was it? Yeah thanks Charity i tried lying on the couch it did take the pressure off my back but i still couldn't sleep cos my body clock is all messed up i'm catching up on my sleep in the day and staying awake all night - the baby is pretty much doing the same aswell which doesn't help!! I'm at the midwife again tomorrow so i'll let you all know what happens.

Thats sounds awful. Now i am really dreading it!!!! People keep saying to me imagine the worst and it won't be so bad but i just can't imagine the worst cos i've never really felt pain. I've never broken anything or owt like that!!

yes i had my beautiful baby girl on friday the 9th..i have just been so busy taking her to her check ups and taking care of her that i havn't had much time to get online...my labor was wonderful....i felt no pain at all....i went in for my stress test on friday and they said it was unresponsive and sent me to get an ultrasound..there was low fluid so they sent me to the hospital right away to be induced...by 11:30am i was having strong contractions every 3 or 4 min but i wasn't feeling them..my doctor wanted to break my water so i got my epidural and she broke my water and it was on....lol i didn't feel any of the contractions and i actually felt GREAT baby Elizabeth Rosalin was born at 7:22pm on December 9th after less than an hour pushing...i didn't rip or get cut down there and the only problem was that there was merconium in my babys fluid...my bf was so happy and so proud of her...and he held my hand and helped me push the entire time...im so happy i have my little girl...good luck to you all!

Hi all ladies, and congrats to the new moms. I also delivered my baby (finally!) last Tuesday (12/13). Her name is Dana-Joy. 8.1 lbs and 20 1/2 inches. She's definitely a big girl coming from an Asian descent. Around 6 AM when my water broke, we were at the hospital 30 minutes later, but wasn't given a room until after 7 AM. My contractions were intense, 2 minutes apart each. I was 4 cm, 90% engaged and at stage 1 when I was checked. I was given epidural but it didn't really help me much. At 10:30AM, I started pushing and delivered the baby at 11:11 AM. They don't call it labor for nothing, for it was really hard work. My baby was really big, it felt like I delivered 2 heads because she has broad shoulders. I was on the verge of giving up, and request for CS instead, but God gave me the extra strength when I needed it most. Unfortunately, I had an episiotomy done and my hemorhoids are now very sore. This delivery was much worse than my first. My son was born with such ease like the one Jessica experienced. At that time I had faith in the epidural coz it really numbed me, but this time, it really didn't help. So good luck girls. Prayer also helps a lot, so do not forget to add that yo your list.

hi all congrats to all who had there babies i really wanted epidural but was to late some have wonderfull labours pain free but this was the worst ever i had my mum there to help me and she was crying and begging docs to help me i still cant get over the bad time i had really up sets me i never want any more babies because of this i would pay for a c section if i ever had any more babies.i felt like i was in a torture chamber and the m/w just sat back and didnt help me but its not the same for us all

Hi everyone and congratulations to everyone who's had their babys! theres not many of us left now!! i went to see my midwife today and she is quite happy for my baby to stay where he is. i will be 39 weeks tomorrow and i just want him out of me!! I tried the fresh pineapple thing again and had a curry for my t and i would say he has been quieter than ever today!! but do they say that that can be a sign when they go quiet it means they are coming soon???

 

Charity - December 16

Well Congrats to everyone. Sarah it looks like it is just the two of us. and we are both due at the same time. Jane I hope you never have to go through that again and I hope i will never have to go through that. :( i lost my plug yesterday so i hope its a good thing when I go in to see the doc on monday for my 39th week appt. Sarah hang in there we are almost there. try to keep yourself occupied so you don't think about it. that seems like the only thing that keeps me sane these days. I have never seen so many movies in my life Lol.

Hi charity, well still no signs and ive had about 4 hours sleep in 2 days - i can't take much more! everyone keeps saying well you best get used to it cos your going to have a baby keeping you awake but it will be different at least he won't be inside me and when i go to bed i should be able to sleep for a few hours in between feeds. How are you feeling? its a great sign that you've had a show most people i've spoke to who have had a show have had their babys within days if not hours!! keep me posted on your progress!!

Hi, Congrats Jane. Sarah hang in there what do you got 5 days I am very excited for us. Yesterday was a scare i went to the hospital thinking my water broke but found out I am have bladder issues. then while I was there the nurse was taking my blood pressure and noticed my blood pressure was really high. they kept me there 4 hours to see if my blood pressure was going to go down which it did slightly and they ran blood tests to see if i had toximia. Some of the tests came back really weird so they called me doctor and put me on bed rest for today and i will see him at 3:15 to see if they are going to induce me. the nurse is pretty sure I have it but the doc said to come in tommorrow cause I am still not dilating and if they induce it will be very painful. I guess it could be poretty dangerous for both me and the baby. I will keep you posted. wish me luck
