Super cute nursery crazycat!!!
Ok what's a tula? I have en ergo which is a total pain but I use while he's small and then I have an ergo that I used a ton later on with my daughter.
Cute nursery!
38,2 WK's today. Youngest was born today. Baby girl isn't ready yet i guess. Prolly cant find the right shoes with her outfit. Lol
So close sweetdream!
Lala, do you mean a Mobi that's a pain but great right now? I know what you mean! I loved it and hated it at the same time :-) I loved my ergo when she got older though! The Tula is very similar to the ergos, but people say they are better for whatever reason and they have a toddler size option that can take them further along too. I'm not 100% sure they are better than an ergo, as I've heard it's personal preference, but if this guy loves to be worn, I think I'll at least check them out, since they seem to be the craze these days, lol.
Sweetdream you are so close!! I feel like this last part takes forever when you've had babies that were born early already. I remember Lyra took me by complete surprise since I thought for sure she's stay in the full 40 weeks, but alas, they are on their own schedule! So now with this guy, I keep thinking he'll come early, but knowing my luck, he'll stay put to 42 weeks, lol. I had another doctors apt today and asked them to check me to see if there had been any progress and none :-( Still 70% effaced and 3cm dilated, so he could decide to hang like that for a while. We shall see!
Robin, remind me again what your induction tactics are? I plan to have sex when I can manage, lol, continue with red raspberry leaf tea and capsules, take EPO both by mouth and internally, eat pineapple, walk like a mad woman... anything else I can do? Oh, and how many EPO's do you take? re you doing both methods? Do you have to poke a hole in then when inserted??
PS, anyone else get a burning sensation in their ribs? I've had it for a while and thought it was him messing around in there, but when I mentioned it to my doctor today, she said it's actually muscle tearing as the weight of the baby pulls down :-( Ugh, not fun!
Oh, and is anyone doing placenta encapsulation? I was all set to do it, but my doctor said she had a patient who did and ended up getting sepsis and almost died - had to be taken to ICU and all that jazz, so she is highly against it. I'm not really one to go against my doctor's suggestions, so I think I'm going to pass on it, but it does make me a little bit sad because I've heard such great benefits from it.
I'm doing basically the same things as you! Epo-im doing orally 3000mg day plus one inserted with pin hole at night. That's what the midwife recommended. They will not check my cervix until next week for progress. But I will be doing a stretch and sweep at that time as well to hopefully help get things moving. Last night I was having some contractions stronger than I've felt so far. I'm hoping that's a good sign.
I have a burning sensation on my old c section scar. It hurts! She is face down pushing against it so that's why. But no to rib pain so far.
Have you has heartburn crazy cat?
I had with my last and he had lots of hair. This one nothing.. maybe she will have very little hair like my first who I also has no heartburn with.
Yeah, the heartburn has been hit and miss with this guy, some, but not too much :-)
My EPO pills are only 500mg, so I think I'll start today with 3 orally and 1 internal and then possibly increase from there. Thanks for the tips!
I feel like I am constantly contracting, but not painfully, so I guess they are still just BH. Hoping to get more going soon!!
AT the risk of rocking the boat I BEG YOU GUYS do NOT NOT NOT take EPO orally when trying to induce labor. It doesn't work, they've done studies on it and it's shown ineffective, and it really thins your blood to do it. I tried this with my 3rd son and ended up with lots of very small blood clots in my amniotic fluid and the L and D nurse (who had 25 years of experience) was like "I've never seen anything like that in my life!" EPO is a blood thinner just like aspirin and remember how they warn and warn you not to use aspirin after 36 weeks pregnancy?? 1500 mg of EPO is a very strong blood thinner!
Use it up the wazoo only - that actually does seem to help and without the risks of orally ingesting it.
Good to know. Thanks atomic!
Yes, thanks Atomic! It's always good to hear the other side of things. I just took a single 500mg pill orally, but will stop and just do vaginally starting tonight.
It's like with the placenta encapsulation stuff. All I could find online were positive things, but when I asked my doctor and she told me about her patient who got sepsis and almost died from it, I decided it wasn't worth the risk.
From eating the placenta caplets crazy cat? Crazy! I wonder how that's even possible like how that would do that to your body.
Crazycat- I did placenta encapsulation and HOLY CRAP it's the best thing I've ever done. I bled FOREVER last time and had major baby blues- nada this time and bleeding was just about done for me at 4 weeks. I'm not sure how a person would have gotten sepsis from them- I would venture to say something sort of non pc and bet they got it from the hospital- this is so much more common than anyone wants to admit or anyone hears about. If you find a reputable midwife or doula to do and they are OSHA certified you are a-ok ESPECIALLY if you do the TCM method which cooks it until anything would be dead anyway ( I did a mix of raw and tcm). Feel free to ask me more about it but I would highly recommend it. Also, yes I meant I use the MObi currently and love it EXCEPT when it's dragging on gross floors so that I can get it on:/ I wish it was shorter and more manageable.

Aww, I'm loving all the pictures!
Still no baby here :-( I am definitely getting anxious! If I make it to my apt on Wed, I'm hoping there will be more progress. I've been walking a lot and feel like he's moved down, even having some pressure in my tailbone, but who knows. They do come when they are ready, and there's just not much to do to help them along, unfortunately. I'm really hoping he'll make his appearance this week, but we shall see!
Keep the cutie pie pics coming ladies!
Boysway, it is a tough wait, but your pics are pretty solid boy to me, so I'm really thinking it will just be time to celebrate!
PS - not sure if any of your remember me telling you about my sister-in-law who got pregnant shortly before us but miscarried last Feb and then was having a hard time, etc. Well, we found out at Christmas that they are pregnant again, and just last week they found out they are having a boy, which is fantastic news since she and I were swaying together for our boys before. I'm so happy for them :-) And now Coda has a built in playmate in his cousin who will just be about 4 months younger than him!
Crazycatcouple I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that your little man will arrive this week Keep walking I've been told that it really helps And that's so sweet about having a little boy cousin Bet they'll be great buddies x

Aww, gorgeous baby pics ladies :) Crazycatcouple, I hope your little man makes his arrival soon. I remember going for lots of walks for just before my last bub finally came along. Including a lengthy walk the morning of the day I finally went into labour with her. Keep up the walking :)
Aww, very exciting your little man will have a play mate as well. That's so exciting :)
Daisymoo- SOOOO cute.
Daisy beyond cute!!! Crazy cat my eldest two are super close in age to their cousins its soooo lovely and makes family get togethers a breeze!! Hope little coda makes an appearance pretty soon. How many weeks are you now? Xxx
Boysway I was just looking at your scan on the ultrasound forum (sorry didn't realise it was there!) and that is 100% boy! There is no doubt about it You must be so excited! Wahoo!!

I like to think all those guesses can't possibly be wrong ;) I have told dh my thoughts but not shared with anyone that isn't online. I'm quietly very excited. Admittedly I have already bought quite a few boys clothes but hidden them, lol. I even had miss 4 with me. With her inquisitive nature she had to ask so I fibbed and told her the clothes were for someone else. I am hanging out to have gender confirmed! Just under 3 weeks to go!
Oh the very best of luck! I think you'll be needing all those boy clothes! x
