On my way in to be induced this AM. I am pretty upset that I have not gone into labour naturally before the doctor feels it is crucial to intervene. I am 41 weeks 6 days today. Next time i post i should have my little baby!

There has never been mention of weight, and I started this pregnancy at 255lbs. At the beginning they did say no more than 25lbs is ideal. I have gained more than that. But my blood pressure has been fine, I have not had toooo much swelling (have had a bit) and no gestational diabetes, so as long as the pregnancy remains…

Welcome to Rachel's pity party. :cry: :sad: I'm sorry to keep posting the same type of things but you guys can probably understand how I am feeling right now. I really just want to cry. I am spending so much time in bed, I am bored, tired, and finished all my books. I was doing pretty well staying optimistic last week, but…

Danielle- Oh my goodness!!!! That sucks about the split room. Can you change hospitals??? Regina- Better late than never is right! Have not seen you around much, hope all is well :-) AFM: I am super sorry everyone I have not been around this board much. Still no baby 6 days overdue today. Physically I feel really well. I…

Haven't even felt one braxton hicks today... sad face! (my add smiley button is not working). Maybe the baby will come on the 16th. Every person in my husband's family has their birthday on the 16th (his sister, him, his mom, and his dad. All different months though).

I'm here, just lurking. I really thought labour had started today, but turned out to be a ton of strong braxton hicks.I tried to get things going tonight by taking a brisk walk on my treadmill, took a warm bath, and tried some nipple stimulation exercises to get the oxytocin flowing. Nothing. Nada. I really think soon…

Why hello due date! I hope the baby comes within the next couple days. Heading to the city today for dinner, a movie, and some shopping if we have time. That should keep my mind off the fact that I have no baby yet!

Appt went well. I had a closed cervix last week, and this week it's open 1-2 fingers. Hubby took the afternoon off work and came with me. And for once there was almost no wait! Baby was in a strange position and presenting huge (fundal measurement 50- last week was 44). Dr. agreed was just baby's position. So, unless I go…

I love reading about everyone! Keep em coming! I am feeling fairly well, but today I am soooo tired. Not sure why as I got enough sleep. It has been pretty hot too though. re: Late appointments- drives me insane and I am always in the waiting room for at least 30 minutes after my apt time usually. It's really frustrating…

I just ate like 10 chocolate chip cookies, Barf! I feel gross now. But at the time they tasted so good!

Holy moly is it ever slow around here since all the July babies were born! So, in an effort to get things moving again, and since we have some new faces, how about another "get to know you" type post. Copy and paste the questions into a new reply and answer for yourself. If you don't care to share some of the info, simply…

Today is my due date based on being dated with my ultrasound. I am telling myself now that... that must have been wrong. Keeping Friday in mind. Friday is my due date based on the first day of my last period. If I don't have the baby by Friday we are going on a date to see the moving "The Help". Something special to keep…

Hi everyone!! Hope you all had a great weekend. Veronica and Matt- I don’t know what I am having, I run with team green! LOL. I really don’t have much of a “gut feeling” either. I guess we will find out soon enough! That kind of sucks that everyone crashed your birth! That is exactly what I don’t want to happen. Anne-…

Well, I always thought we would call and let them know, however after today it is making me second guess that decision...I worry that they will just come down and sit in the waiting room, and crash our bonding party as soon as the baby is out. I would much rather have the baby, have an hour or two to bond and breastfeed,…

Can you tell I am killing time today?! 39 weeks 1 day. Waiting for my bestest friend to come over (from the city) with his boyfriend (yes, I said his).

Sorry guys for all the posts! I have a story to share. I was really annoyed this AM!! My in-laws are crazy! So, this morning at 8am I wake up to the phone ringing. We have a phone in our room but keep the ringer off. I can see on the caller ID that it is my father in law on his cell phone. So I ignore it, knowing that he…

Yay! Last one! Must be exciting... just means Avery is that much closer! Enjoy your day :smile: Katrina- Thanks for the article- super funny!

Welcome! I started this pregnancy at least 40lbs overweight, and then I put on 40lbs since getting pregnant! I definitely plan to use this site once my baby comes to lost the weight again. Just jump right in! It does tend to be a little slow on the weekends, but it can get pretty busy around here during the week.

Cute! I used to keep weight loss vlogs. I have not updated it in forever though! http://www.youtube.com/user/joonzgurl?feature=mhee

Hi all. First of all, I really want to say I am sorry I am not much of a contributor lately/commenting to everyone personally. Normally I am, but I just don't have it in me right now. My ultrasound puts baby at 8lbs 6 oz today, plus or minus 1lb. So not crazy big or anything. The OB I saw today encouraged me that I could…

Thanks guys for your comments. Forgot to mention- found out yesterday that I have bladder infection NUMBER 5 of this pregnancy. I have never been prone to them before! Anyways, gotta run, will check in tonight and let you know anything I find out from the ultrasound, etc. Have a great day everyone!!

Drs appt today was uneventful. Had my first internal check- no dialation, but I have been cramping since she checked. Head is still high. Go back tomorrow for ultrasound, and after to see the OB to "decide" if the baby is too big to deliver or not. I can do it!! I don't care how big they think the baby is.

Hey everyone! Ron- Great job on the eating/weight loss! As you know I am absolutely struggling with this!! AFM: Busy day today- off to the dr and for lunch with a friend. I am having SUCH A HARD TIME deciding who will be the baby's doctor! I have two choices. We live in the country. There are two big towns near by, each of…

i was wondering the same thing! hopefully everything is ok

Welcome Marie! I think Julz gave some great advice there. Just wanted to say hello, and hopefully you will feel at home here!

How overdue were you? I am not sure if it can still be done, I will have to ask my doula (but I wont see her again until labour so I will have to get back to you on that). I am thinking that maybe they cut out the calcified part?

Ok ladies be prepared to be grossed out! I was unsure if I should tell you all this because I was afraid you might think it is weird. I am having my placenta encapsulated. (basically your placenta is dried out, and then ground, and put into pills for mother to take). At first, I thought this was totally gross, then i…

Just looked at our credit card statement online and there is a $400 charge from a jewelry store in the city. Same one we got our wedding rings at. Isn't that interesting! Hubby talked about getting me a gift for the baby... but $400? That is a bit extreme. Perhaps it is the "anniversary" ring that goes with my…

AFM: Well, I went on a cleaning rampage today. Nesting I think? Feels good to have it done, I just need to keep it that way until I go into labour. I changed the sheets, scrubbed the bathroom and the tub, watered the front lawn and flowers, cleaned the kitchen (cleaned out a huge cupboard for baby paraphernalia - bottles,…
