Hey all, glad to see we are all still going...!! Not long now. I am 37 weeks today..!! Had an ultrasound on friday, bubs is approximately 8 pound already and she has hair... Pretty amazing that they can work that stuff out just by looking at it. The cutest thing, she was sucking her toe while the lady was doing the ultrasound, we caught it just as she was doing it.. lol. She is still in breech position. They dont think she is going to move so looks like I'll be booking in for a c-section sometime in the next couple of weeks, they dont want me going too close to due date dont want to risk me going into labour... I am a little dissapointed I wanted to do it naturally, but ah well whats best for the baby is important to me. I am quite over it though so kinda glad I will probably go in early. I am so uncomfortable and just want her out. I dont know if its just the fact that I want to meet her so much.. Its weird how you can be so attached to something that you dont really have yet, if you know what I mean. I just cant wait. I am so excited. I keep changing things in her room and moving things and cleaning things. Its just yeah, getting really excited now. Cant wait. Hope everyone is feeling well still and going nicely. I bet everyone cant wait....!!!

Ugh. Spent all day contracting >.< Everyday I just get more and more uncomfortable and get less sleep. I think pregnancy is the only time in my life I have ever looked at the prospect of future pain and said PLEASE lol. It doesn't help chasing a 4 and 2 year old around all day and my sisters 8 year old twin boys when they're here. I'm just ready to get this done and hold my little boy. I did a self check earlier and I'm definitely effaced more but I don't want to go digging around at this point to check dilation, I'm to scared I'll break my water or give us an infection. So I'm just trying not to stare at the calender all day and distract myself until he decides to make his grand entrance^.^. I needed somewhere to vent a bit so I feel a little better now :D. 18 days to go! (If he's overdue he's grounded until he graduates.)

hi girls, well I'm still here too...Coldmom, I hear you with the contractions, I keep getting them on and off as well...but no luck...and I'm getting tired of people every day saying...oh no baby yet? um, you see the bump? that means no baby....as ready as I am for this to be over, and see my baby...and terrified of being a mommy of two...we take our dd with us every where...she is so easy, and smart...but how the heck do I do all that with 2...one is manageable...two sounds overwhelming...and I feel so guilty about taking time away from dd....she is only 20 months...guess i'm just getting over emotional...I can't stop cuddling her...i think she senses something is happening...oh well....

Hi Ladies! Cookie I feel your pain! The waiting is the worst. I am having contractions every 2 to 3 minutes but am not dialating above a 2 1/2. This morning lost more of my fluid, was already low but now even lower. Doc said until it gets below a 5 which we are close but not there yet, he will not induce. Also he stopped my blood thinners so that I may be able to have a epidural, woo hoo, but we'll see. The contractions are getting unbearable but I just cannot get dilated any further. It is so frustrating, I was in docs office today and begged and pleaded to be induced now because I am in so so much pain and also I am just worried about the baby first because of the low fluid but secondly because I am now off the blood thinners that I have been on the whole pregnancy I could easily have a clot that deprives the baby of oxygen, doc said he will not do it, he said I have to go until next week to be induced, unless my body kicks into gear and goes sooner, I am saying many prayers that I go sooner, I am going stir crazy! Anway ladies thanks for listening, I wish you all the best, talk to you soon!!! :))

September 12th is the big day!!! They have booked me in for my c-section.!!! I didnt realise how scared this would make me, its planned, its set. I am going to be a mum in just over a weeks time.!!! WOW. haha, I am going out of my mind now thinking what has to be done, what do I need to organised before next week. All of a sudden there is just so much to do. I know this day has been coming but wow it has come so fast. Its crazy. My brain is so scattered...!!! I cant wait though, I finally get to meet my little girl..!!! Now I just gotta pick a name for her... lol I thought that would be the easy part but now not so sure. I am just going to wait and see what she looks like and then go from there I think...... Hope everyone is still going well and I will keep up to date if anything happens...!!

hi ladies, wow caseyann, sounds like you will go any moment (or maybe you have?)...K8 that is so exciting that you know exactly when your little one is coming...enjoy your last week, get lots of sleep...you won't be having much of that after the 12th...as for me, still on and off contractions, they generally go away when I take a bath...would be nice if they would move things forward a bit...trying all the labor inducers...(well not castor oil, yuck)...but lots of s_x (poor dh feels like a machine..lol)...lots of walking, lots of rasberry leaf tea...i guess she'll come when she's good and ready....
