@danad269, me too I was actually craving pineapple at like 30 weeks before I found out about the natural inducers, but I've been eating it like crazy since I found out. I don't like waking so I do some really lazy squats hehe :)
@natnatbabygirl, I went to store the other day n forgot pineapple. Going back tomorrow( love pineapple anyways)
@natnatbabygirl, I have been bouncing on the yoga ball, I run around all day after my 17 mo old son, we also walked tonight. She is just not totally ready but I still try!!! :)
@mommieuhoh, ugh, I'm so done with being pregnant sometimes but I know I'll miss his lil kicks and belly rolls. Best thing I've found so far is walking and rubbing the nips lol like 10 minutes after a nip rub I have braxtons but they go away pretty quick. rubbing them produces the hormone that naturally induces labor as well as pineapples. walking just prepares you for labor by working out your pelvic area. @danad269 if your ready to get things in gear I definitely recommend pineapples, nip rubs, and walking and if you don't feel like walking do squats. I'm ready to see some babies lady's! lol
Yeah. Same here. I've been getting checked since week 36 and I'm still not dilated or effaced.
@natnatbabygirl, yes I have been having them. Thought last night was gonna be the night going on after dr appt. I came home and slept then woke up to stronger ones but faded
@mommieuhoh, not really, I get checked for dilation on the 10th if I make it to the 10th. my doc said I may make it to my due date I may not its just a waiting game now, but other than that I'm progressing on schedule I suppose. @danad269 @afrankfurth23 have any of you been getting any contractions or anything?
I am due sept 20th, nurses on fri dont think I will make it through the wkend w contractions I was having at the office
Yea I still haven't decided on an epi! I definitely want to try natural and see but I'm not against getting the epi! Plus your right with a 9 pound babe it will probably be needed! Haha @julie27 I hope so! Keeping my fingers crossed! I have an acupuncture appt on Tuesday so I'm hoping that that'll help and that he'll stay that way!
@aboutellesbabe, I'm going with the epi, I can't do a 9lb baby without any help. but I am gonna do vaginal birth or at least try.
@julie27, that's definitely a plus but it is a scary thought. but as long as they're healthy then we're happy!
@aboutellesbabe, oh i see.. well better go the safe way just to be cautious .. hopefully he turns before your due date?! I've seen a lot of females that had breeched babies and they ended up turning a few days before they were born.. hopefully that happens to you
Man 9 pounds! Good luck mama you can do it :) are you trying natural? Or an epidural? @natnatbabygirl
@natnatbabygirl, yep well at least we know our babies are gonna be big & healthy lol but it is scary just to even think baby can get stuck if its too big 😟
I'm already high risk due to medications I have/had to be on during my pregnancy, so they don't want to risk the baby going into stress and say the safest thing at this point, besides trying small things like yoga and acupuncture to turn him, is to do a c-section :/ @julie27
@julie27, my pelvic bone grinds together sometimes and it hurts SOOO bad its hard for me to roll over after I've been laying down for a minute.
@natnatbabygirl, yess alot of pressure it even hurts to walk.. my pelvic bone feels like its about to break😩😩😩 it's the worse.
@julie27, I'm worried about the size of my lil man at 32 weeks he was 4lbs 8ounces, and I'm almost to my due date so I'm looking at a 9lb baby :( its a scary thought
@natnatbabygirl, i know that feeling lol this is my third pregnancy but my first baby girl and i get so impatient and feel like I've been pregnant forever but at the same time i rather wait till 39wks at least
cant they try turning him around? @aboutellesbabe I'm actually scared my baby is already 8lbs and if she gets any bigger and i cant be able to push her out they will do a c-section 😩
@sheneque1990, are you excited have you been getting and braxtons or contractions of any kind?
@julie27, I've been feeling alot of pressure pushing downwards and not just the on the bladder pressure but the kind that feels like pushing down on your bajina lol. have you been having pressure?
Wow that's awesome! @julie27 I'm jealous! I really wanted to have a natural delivery but little man is being so stubborn and won't turn his butt around. He's breech :/
i think she stretched out my cervix or something and she said baby is really low once she put her hand she felt baby's head right away and said she doesn't think ill make it.. @aboutellesbabe i hope she's wrong tho i rather wait till at least 39wks but I've been having strong contractions and last week i was 2cm dilated and 70% effaced.
@julie27, blahhh, is what I really feel most of the time lol. but I'm mostly tired and I feel ready but I guess baby isnt, my doc said its an any day thing now. just a waiting game. I just wanna see my precious.
Why doesn't she think you'll make it to your due date of you don't mind me asking? @julie27
@natnatbabygirl, I'm with you on that! I have a scheduled c-section for the 23rd and it feels like that's ages away!!
I'm due the 20th & yesss it does seen so far away 😩😟.. i might have her before tho my doctor/ob doesn't think ill make it to the 20th.. how are you feeling? @natnatbabygirl
@julie27, I'm due on the 18th its so close but why does it feel so far away!
@natnatbabygirl just a lot of sharp pains in my pelvic area and a lot of back pains she is head down
