Hey girls, well we had s_x last night and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, lol BUT, nothing happened -- so much for that. I know it's not an instant thing, but I think if it were to help me along I'd have felt something by now. Oh well! I need to relax more i think. Well, tomorrow is the big day for inductions! KOLLEEN, Tina might be able to email you with her cell number -- I think she posted it on this thread a while back.

stef- when i was pregnant with kelsey we had s_x at like 9 pm and at 6am the next morning my water started leaking!!! so yah it was crazy but i didnt expect to have my baby then yet or anything n i wasnt really excited i was scared so i was basically relaxed enough to throw me into labor (all of us want are babies here now & were excited so they arent arriving) wouldnt that be horrible if like all of us got induced. i feel it might turn out that way.

Kendra, would I know if my water were leaking? Of course after s_x there was a lot of (excuse the tmi) white leakage and I'm sure that was the s____n for the most part, but I felt really wet for a while last night, but none at all today. Just things as usual down there, lol.....I'm so scared of my water breaking and having a slow leak and me not knowing and it causing problems for Ava like Krissy's story.

Stef im right with you Last night we were able to have s_x.. but nothing really happen. Before we got to bed i was in a lot of pain.. no quite contractions though just alot of pressure and numbness. after it went away we got right to it. But after it nothing really happen i fell asleep and woke up normal. Today i only feel small amount of pain around my back but thats all. I have a Doc Appointment tomorrow so hopefully they'll tell me if ive dilated more.. which i hope i have.

stef- you would know or hopefully youd know if you were leaking its clear (well mine was; & had no odor or anything i filled a pad like everytime i stood up (thats when mine mainly leaked)). hopefully that helps. precious- i have my dr tomorrow mines at 415pm (so late i know) but who knows hopefully the b*tch of a nurse checks me this time (maybe even try sweeping my membranes id be okay with that) lol. ill be almost 39 weeks they should help ((((i hate not seeing my OB)))) gosh she needs to get back from vacation now!!!! d__n her. lol also. sperm helps dilate the cervix & soften it it does both --- ur 90% more then i am well as i know of at least haha. i didnt get checked last week so who knows i cant wait for my appt to find out whats going on!!! i want my baby here!

KOLEEN - there is some question about Megan's size and the Doctor just wanted to prepare me for the c-section actually he tried to just schedule me for the c-section until I said no way......I told him I had a 9lb4oz baby and my mom had a 10 pound baby so .....I would take my chances....give me your email address and I will give you my cell you so can text me when you have Lylee and I can text you when I have Megan then I can text the rest of the girls too.....ELENA - yes I plan on the epidural because I had very much success with the last 2 I feel bad that some of you guys have trouble with it....it was wonderful to me although with my last one I kind of felt transition because it was wearing off then I got a top off in time to push and all was right with the world again....LOLOL....I can't believe that I could be holding my little girl in a 48 hrs - I figure she will be born sometime Thursday .....I hope it's sometime in the afternoon since both of my boys were born in the morning.....STEF - girl congrats I bet Jessie was on cloud nine! LOL.....and you have to remember stories like Krissy's ARE RARE!! when I thought my water broke - they catheterized me first THEN checked me for amniotic fluid- Krissy had a terrible nurse who deserves to lose her job so just relax - trust your instincts and INSIST if you feel you aren't getting the treatment you want/deserve.....JULIA - I think I lost my MP but only part of it.....the s____n helps the cervix to soften which will help it efface and open....but I am not sure how much it takes for it to do anything so it's kinda like castor oil sometimes it will work sometimes it won't

Hillary, I have been going to an acupuncturist the whole pregnancy and I went today as well. I asked her if she could "help me along" and she said that certainly she can do pressure points that would literally start contractions but that she didn't want to go that far without doctor's consent....agh! So I told her that my dr. is going to evaluate me on Friday for induction (if I haven't gone yet) and that is based on my natural progress. So, that said, she did things to "nudge" me in the direction of labor. I got some pretty wicked contractions while on the table with the needles in, but nothing now so I think what she did was pretty mild. That's ok though because I'd rather be safe you know? She said if I dont' have her before next week she'd do the other stuff, but I'm hoping I'll be induced by then. It is probably best for my dr. to be able to monitor my labor and start it because of the Lovenox I'm on. KENDRA, LOL ok I see about the leaking. Now that is definitely noticeable if you are filling a pad that often. I just have the regular discharge then :) TINA, are you getting so excited ??? You still have my number to text me, right? Tomorrow will be exciting to know you girls are having your little ones!

STEF - yes i have your number in my phone and I will text you......wow I never knew accupuncture could help bring on contractions that is great! tomorrow night at 7pm will be wonderful!!! we'll see what happens though.....please keep your fingers crossed that I don't end up in a c-section...xoxoxx girls I'll check in later JULIA - I think you are talking about stripping the membranes and the doctor does a number with her fingers while checking you - it usually hurts like heck and can SOMETIMES get labor going but only sometimes

TINA- are you excited or what. i mean holy cow you and me are the next ones to go!!!!! my email address is kolleenzajesusfreak at yahoo, anyones else want to give me their number they also can email me. ok girls im freaking out now. in less then 20 hrs ill be in the hospital getting my iv put in to start the pitocin. all these nine months has lead up to this moment. i have so many things running thru my head its not funny. i want to share a story with you guys. im not trying to put my personal life out there, but i want to share why im so scared. ok so you guys all know that i have a son named jakobb.before i got pregnant i lived in california and had been doing drugs. when i had him i was alone. my mom was too busy to come and help me. the man i waqs with at the time was not jakobbs father. he was a very irresponsible person who made alot of money but never paid our bills. his mom was our landlord. the job he had made go out of the country alot. when jakobb was about three months old my boyfriends mom showed up telling me that i had three days to pay 2500.00 or get out. now my boyfriend was in hong kong. i guess he had not paid the rent for months. i had no money and he made the desion for us to move out. long story short i had in nine days physically packed and cleaned a house that consisted of 5 people. (he had two gilrs that lived with us off and on) so i did what i knew to do. started to dope agian. of course no one knew. but i kept it up for quite a while. i got really really bad. i started hanging with really bad people as you can imagine. i started to notice that i was not giving to jakobb like i should, so i called my mom and asked her to take him for two weeks and i will clean up and come back. well two weeks turned into 2 1/2 years. now jakobb has been adopted by my mom and i have almost 5 years clean. i know i want go back to drugs but i fear the unknown. everything i did, i did high with him you know so its kinda scaery. i have God on my side and a wonderful husband who takes such good care of me, but it is still scary. i mean here it is the day before im going to have her and i dont know what to do withher when i get her home. while she has been inside me i couldnt screw it up you know. she is totally protected inside of me, but come tomorrow she will be outside. i know what your all thinking im going to be ok and all that good stuff, ut i just needed to get it off my chest.

kolleen, thank you so much for sharing that! You are going to be fine sweetie and I know we aren't like people there you can talk to face to face, but we are here to support you and you can talk anytime to us. If you ever want to email me you can...it is stefkzimm at hotmail dot com. You have done the most important thing you can EVER do in your life for you and everyone around you including Lylee by getting clean and staying that way. It is the most important thing in your life and never forget that. I personally am a recovering alcoholic and have been sober from it for 3 years. I also had some issues with drugs (mainly prescription narcotics) when I was trying to get off the alcohol, but was finally able to get clean from that over 2 years ago. My life has been beautiful ever since. I'd not be pregnant today with this beautiful miracle had I not sought help. GOOD LUCK to you tomorrow girlie! I bet you are nervous and I am getting excited type nervous for both you girls!!!!!! Agh! Keep me posted! HUGS, Stef
