Morning! Charli, looks like you did get up late...I slept ok last night, but then woke up at like 5am and was not able to go back to sleep. Just having all kinds of thoughts running through my head so I got up at 6am. Now it's 7 here so I might as well stay up but I'm so d__n tired!

nothing really for an update ladies; i think hes going to be holding himself in & im just going to be dealing with contractions for the next who knows how many weeks =[ im in so much pain cant sleep cuz of them they told me im having a thing called a constant contraction that when im hooked up to the monitor its catching a contraction thats steadying at 20 so that means my stomach is constantly contracting but then i have contractions on top of that also. so they are doubling up; they still haven't said no s_x so please believe im on that hoping that it will cause me to dilate a bit; the OB on duty at L & D yesterday told me if i could dilate just a bit more or anything he would have given me pit to induce me considering im so close to FULL TERM now. but i couldn't so i got sent home again; so hopefully something any of you know anything he suggested maybe trying something called "primrose oil?" im having trouble dilating because his heads high & hes not pushing on my cervix. im getting irritated ladies help me dilate!!!! =]

Good morning Ladies - it's already starting- I am having a hell of a time sleeping.....last night was by far the worst! I am do freaking uncomfortable...so I'll be on later to respond after my coffee kicks in ....hope you are all well

Hi girls! TINA hope the coffee kicks in soon...I had an uncomfortable night too...just when I think I get used to it,something else pops up. This morning I felt more back pain and some very faint period type cramps so I wonder if my body is starting to dilate or anything. I will find out Friday! yay! I'll probably be closed up tight as fort knox with ZERO effacement and ZERO dilation :) KENDRA, oh man I wish I could help you out and tell you what to do, but I have no idea! I think the s_x thing is great ( make sure he ejaculates inside you because it is actually the sperm that help get labor going....something in them acts like oxytocin). Also, I've heard nipple stimulation also releases oxytocin, so maybe have him work on that area as well, lol! Seriously I read that has thrown many women into labor. I've heard of primrose oil, but not sure how it works and if you take it in pill form or what? Try that stuff and let us know if anything happens. I'm taking notes over here ;)

stef- dr said take 4 500mg pills a day; plus 2 v____ally at night. =] oh for sure he ejaculates in me; im going to make s_x an everyday thing from now on. im so irritated BACK PAIN FROM hell. oh yah when i lost my plug it had bloody show which labor and delviery said a couple days & he might be arriving thats usually one of the bests signs of labor is the bloody show.

Good morning ladies. Well its like around 10. I had another awful night. i get alot of heartburn. Last night i had pizza and usually i will take some Tums and it calms down but not this time. I made myself throw up just to feel better. Then i have had diarhea lately which sucks sorry if TMI. Sleeping really sucks lately. Then i sleep on my side and i kinda turn on my stomach well just a little and i feel like im gonna squish my baby. that cant happen right??? Like she is safe as long as im not like turned all the way on my stomach? which i cant do anyways. im just tired and sore. i have cramps in my thighs from being big, then a get pains in my pelvic. Like muscle pains not bad ones. Just a little longer..... he he

lucky- baby will be 100% fine. trust me. =] i lay basically on my belly to try to stay comfortable from contractions so who knows. your baby is fine trust me.

ps= i put up belly photos that i took sunday not known how long id be pregnant for.

Hillary, i had the same concerns because I usually sleep on my back, but put a pillow under one hip like my dr. showed me so I'm not FLAT on my back...kind of props me up a bit. But I always want to sleep fully on my left side but when I do I feel like it hurts my belly and that I'm squishing the baby! I get afraid that the cord will get up under there or something and I'll squish it too! I'm strange, lol.....

Ok the coffee has helped some...LOL - I am just cranky today.....I am quiet and the girls at work are leaving me alone.....STEF - I bet Jessie can't wait til you get so uncomfortable enough to let him have at ya! LOL KENDRA - dang I can't believe they just don't keep you and induce you are they hoping you get to 37 weeks or something? that seems crazy...when is your next appointment? I go tomorrow and like you STEF - I am hoping I am not closed up like fort knox.....LOL as far as stomach sleeping I sleep as much on my stomach as my ma__sive bump will allow - I have to take a picture tomorrow I might cheat and take it tonight I seem so big it's crazy....seems like every 2 weeks I get so big I am amazed I am still walking.....Charli - how are you feeling today??? I am grateful that I haven't been sick since December. I did not see a Monday night chat guess everyone went to sleep early I know I did and still slept terrible and tomorrow I have to be at work at 730 - good grief my last early meeting. I sure am worried about AMY - it's really weird that she hasn't checked in at all.....let's keep her in prayer I have a feeling she needs it.....ok girls I'll check in more later

I guess at this point no one will be able to get a good night rest! i am with you all i cant sleep at all i wake up every 2 hrs. ither cuz i have to go bathroom or heartburn gets the best of me. I am so ready to pop. i dont wanna be mean but i am getting overwhelmed about this. i am too tired and i dont get nothing done right.

Precious the only thing you have to do right at this point is keep the baby in...LOL don't be so hard on yourself...we are all getting cranky, big, clumsy, tired, etc etc.....it's ok to be overwhelmed we are almost there just hang in there oh and I did have a little heartburn - I took 2 tums about 1 am.

Tina have u started ur maternity leave already?? yeah i know 5 more weeks will come by fast... i hope

You ladies are so funny. Cors-I'm glad that the coffee helped. I can't stand the smell of the stuff. LOL! I had to pee recently, and I was driving. Well the closest place, with a nice bathroom was Starbucks. I had to hold my breath walking in and hold it walking out! LOL! I bet they thought, "What the heck is wrong with this woman?" Kendra- I hope that the s_x helps you. I've also heard of kohash or cohash tea, but I don't know too much about it, so do your research. I think that one type causes you to dialate, and the other causes stronger contractions. Stef- I hope that you find out good news. I don't go back to the doctor until the 18th. I will have an ultrasound at that time and they will do the strep-B thing. I won't know whether I am dialated or efaced until my 38th week app. (I'm 34 in my 35th). You ladies can add me to the book of those having trouble sleeping. In our room, the mattress is too soft, and in the guest room, the mattress is perfect but my lower back kills me if I don't have like 2 pillows under it, and 2 under my head. I feel like Goldie Locks, I mean, can I get a bed that is comfy?! LOL! Where do yall post pics at?

JULIA - no Friday is my last day of work then I start my leave
