Part 11: Due December 2017,Jan, Feb, March 2018

LMSM haha I’m thinking if I ever made it to term I’d have a whopper! But yes I told dh lastnigt she has grown up as far as she can I think so I’ll start growing out more now! I cant breathe like ever it’s crazy!
4blue2pink I consider mine “low” I guess because both of my parents are on bp medicine and so are a ton of other in my family so when they all pass around the blood pressure cuff (because we’re weird like that) at Sunday dinner [emoji23][emoji23] I always have the lowest.

passing round the blood pressure cuff thats hilarious Ash :D im in the same position that baby cant physically go any higher now its jammed up under my ribs which im sure isnt helping this reflux issue :-/

Bluebooties-I'm on the fence about it. I really wanted to go myself this time around but I know how miserable I'm going to be as I pass my due date. I still have a lot of time to make my decision.

LMSM - The doctor will let me go naturally if I want to I just don't want another vacuum birth end up being induced regardless after 41 weeks because my body doesn't go to go on its own. Plus the induction would make scheduling time off of work easier. My maternity leave doesn't kick in until a few weeks AFTER the baby is born so any time I take before the baby comes is either unpaid or vacation time and we don't get a lot, I have 6 of 8 days left to use. My kids usually made the teacher some type of ornament (especially since it's Christmas time here) or a pencil holder (with pencils in it).

4blue2pink - RRL tea seems to be more widely accepted amongst midwives than doctors. I assume because they can't charge you for it. No herbal tea but yes to Pitocin!

Honestly I think I'm going to get the tea anyway and still take it behind everyone's back. I'm just going to get the capsules since it'll be easier to hide lol. I was surprised she said no to it since it appears to be a 50/50 shot it'll help.

mommaxo3 i was nervous taking the tablets because ive never taken them before and im not a huge fan of any type of meds especially in pregnancy but i can honestly say they arent giving me any symptoms at all which my midwife said was right, she said if they caused cramping/contractions then id have to stop taking them. im on 2 tablets a day and its the Nature's Aid ones im taking, who knows if they will do anything at all for me but i guess they are worth a shot!!

its crazy isnt it, Dr's are all yes yes yes to all these strong medications but its no no no to herbal tea/tablets :-/ at the end of the day it is your decision and you do what is right for you :) im sorry you had to go through a vacuum birth :( the thought of assisted deliveries either vacuum or forceps terrify me, fingers crossed you get a really easy quick delivery this time

I took the RRL tea last time and nothing happened.
I guess it doesn't hurt to take alternative medicines but you need to understand that these have not been studied and researched so if side effects happen then they r on you. I guess no physician will willing say go for it they will say we do not recommend since we dont have much data on them but if you want to take then take at your own risk. At least thats what i say to my patient.

But i took it myself last pregnancy and felt nothing at all.

I’m hanging in there. Trying to complete about a thousand projects before Friday, which is making me a raging beast to my children. Lol.
