Hey Meggwyn! Thanks for the encouragement! I was getting prenatal massages that felt wonderful, but haven't booked any recently mostly due to financial reasons. I sure hope I go into labor before my due date and I hope you do as well! Were you early with either of your other pregnancies?
Nope, not early on purpose anyway! My first, I was induced at 41 weeks b/c of hbp. With my second, I was induced at 38W 4 days b/c they were really aggressive about avoiding hbp. (I didn't have it, but they were really insistent).
This one is totally not engaged at all, so I'm assuming I'll be going late again. Then again, this is the first time I've done chiropractic care and having things in proper alignment might make it all go smoother. I seriously am not ready, though! LOL
I hope yours is here soon!
Well at least you have some record to base this one on! I feel like I have no idea when she will come! and that is what is driving me nuts! I did find out today that I am 1.5 cm dilated so hopefully it won't be too much longer
Was the waiting for your first worse than for subsequent pregnancies?0 -

Thats exciting! Maybe she will come before your due date! The waiting was actually easier with my first, even though I went past my due date. I just enjoyed the whole pregnancy so much (despite having major swelling, carpal tunnel, and working full time throughout). But I was just so happy to be pregnant and enjoyed every stage. I was DONE with my second by around 32-34 weeks when I started feeling SO huge and uncomfortable. The funny thing was, I weighed a lot less than my first pregnancy, had no swelling, was a stay at home mom and very active. You'd think I would have enjoyed that pregnancy more! lol But it just stopped being fun. I think thats why I let myself give in to doing the induction. (I had really wanted to avoid interventions, but they were insistent and I was over being pregnant.)
This time around, its gone by so quickly and I"ve been so busy that I haven't had a lot of time to prepare, mentally or physically. I *just* started putting together my birth kit and grabbing a few essentials b/c I realized that technically, the baby could be here any time over the next 4 weeks!!! It just seems crazy! And as much as I want to meet this new baby, I'm a little anxious about how things will change. I've gotten so used to the independence of my 3 1/2 year old and 7 year old. Its going to be weird to be tied to a little person 24-7 again! But I really love newborns, so hopefully it will be an easy adjustment!
Oh man, I just realized I have to order a new copy of The Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg, too! I lent out my other copies to a couple of friends and never got them back. Its my survival guide for the newborn stage! LOL0 -
Well September ladies...its our month!!!! Can you believe it?!?!
Who is due the beginning of the month? I'm not due until the 25th and assumed I'd go past my due date, but I've been getting pretty strong BH lately. Lots of cramping in my lower back, too, and an increase in CM (cervical mucus) discharge. Tmi, sorry! lol Body is definitely getting ready, so who knows?
How are you guys feeling? Noticing any changes?0
