At night I get cramps & contractions, but it goes away. This baby is coming & I can't wait!! 😄💞
At night I get cramps & contractions, but it goes away. This baby is coming & I can't wait!! 😄💞
On Wednesday I go for my last prenatal before my due date.
If he's not here by Friday I'll have to schedule both another prenatal & ultrasound for my 41st week to check on my baby.
If he's not here by 41 weeks & 6 days I'll have to be induced (it's the law).
I'm not nervous to be induced because my back up OB (I'm going through midwives right now) is very pro vaginal birth & he wouldn't start with pitocin either. He'd use some kind of other method (something with a bubble or whatever lol I forgot). 🙏
But please I want my birth center birth! So I'll be doing all I can do until then. Happy Friday, all. God bless. ✨✌️ 39 weeks & 4 days TODAY! 😌

I was 5 days late with my baby, she's my first one. I had contractions 3 days prior to the birth. Then, the day of, I was up with contractions at 4am, however, they were 15 mns apart. When I went to see the doctor, she checked me, I was 2cm, she wanted to send me home, but the contractions became 5 mns apart, so she said to stay if I wanted to. At 4 pm, I was still 2cm. I had her at 10 pm.
I was hesitant on midwives during the whole pregnancy but the support given by my two midwives in that moment was amazing. The nurses too. I hope everything goes well for you, I pushed for only 30 mns, so I was thankful about that.

I had pitocin, they had to give it to me. Ask if you want, for the bean pillow, ohhhh, it's amazing, it moved things along when the pitocin didn't really do much. They have you turn on your side and they put it between your legs. It looks like a pistachio or 8.

@christiejl thank you! now I know. I really don't want pitocin at all to be honest so I'm happy he would start with the pillow. if they doesn't well he'll progress to pitocin. I'm shooting for an all natural birth though, out of hospital. :) that's just plan B. 💞🙏 thank you so much for the info.

@christiejl I didn't even see your first comment! Ah. that's such a good story, mama. I'm about 3 days before my DD. if I get contractions again tonight I'll get my phone out & clock them. oh I hope he comes around his due date. he's due the 27th but I'd love to have him the 30th-- that's my dad's birthday & he died in '15. 🙏

@christiejl & my midwives are everything to me. they have made my whole pregnancy enjoyable & beautiful. I get real nervous in hospitals & with most doctors... so for me doing this out of hospital was ideal. birth is all about being comfortable & you gotta do what's right for you & your baby. 🙏💞

@mamalotus, that's amazing! I hope that he comes on that date, that would be wonderful! Plus, Aquarius are very loyal and also caring. Hope everything goes well, I can't wait to hear all about it. Good luck! Don't forget to breathe, even though you want to hold on until the pain decreases. BREATHE!
