Thanks Pearl. Just one question- what does EPO mean?
Sorry EPO is evening primrose oil it contains the oils that your body turns into prostaglandins and helps your cervix to soften. I am taking it because I have some left over from my boy sway. I won't know if it is working until the 3rd July as I won't have an internal exam until thenQuote:

Recovery has been easier this time. We were planning to go home from the hospital today but Emma gave us quite a scare yesterday with her breathing, all is well though. Now she is jaundice and has to be on the light until tomorrow. I will post a pic soon.
i had a sweep at 40 + 1 day by midwife when i was 1cm - can they not do anything like that for you? i had already had 2 nights of starting stopping contractions so they said they would do it.
his name is Noah Bradley Sol Gear. this is made up of the middle names of his brothers - its like he is a little part of them all!!!!
hope your bubba comes very soon - its such a horrible wait xx
QUOTE=Jadis;424681]Wowsas, Onelastdream! That sweet lad was in a rush to get to you, eh? Congratulations! Hope my labour is just like yours :) Have you named that lovely boy yet? I'm 3 days past my due date now, would love my baby to get moving and vacate my womb.
Hope Bama Belle is well, can't wait to see a pic![/QUOTE]
Onelastdream, that's a beautiful name! What a sweet tribute to his brothers :) I had a mild sweep done on the 19th, but it obviously wasn't aggressive enough. I'll see my midwife again this week and I'll be asking for another sweep. Hope it does the trick, it's super hot here and I just want to move on from pregnancy and meet our newest baby.
Pearl-thanks, I don't have any EPO :( I'm going to keep up with those other suggestions though.
Bama-CONGRATS! Glad to hear that all went well and that you and Emma are doing well. Can't wait for that pic!
I'm not even over due yet and I'm sick of my family asking too. My mom keeps asking "do you feel like having a baby today". Seriously if this baby could just be born when I feel like it I would have had it already. Then it is followed by dont have it Monday or Friday because ....... And make sure you call as soon as you go into labor. Yeah right if I'm in labor the first thing I'm going to do is call you so you can ask me 100 questions and beat me to the hospital before I get the chance to tell the nurses to keep you all out of my room until an hour or so after the baby is born because the last time we were bombarded before the doctor even left the room and hadn't even had the chance to hold the baby.
I never understand why people, specially family, keep asking for news! It's not like you're not going to tell them when the baby arrives! :)
I think the best thing is when people say 'haven't you had the baby yet?' - I was asked that on the day before I had Noah and I wanted to say 'oh yes, that's why I am still resembling an over stuffed hippo and I thought I'd just leave him at home on his own!!!' Obviously I just smiled sweetly and said not yet, hopefully soon!!!! My mum kept calling and asking when I thought it would be lol! I was obviously adopted and she never experienced child birth herself!!!! God I sound awful but I do feel for you guys still waiting. My mil neighbour asked me what I had and then said oh god no, not another boy. Who does she think she is? I am actually ok gd wise at the moment because I'm so in love but that could have sent me over the edge. Good luck to all the births coming up xxx
I guess I'm having a baby today. My doctor did a nst and I was contracting regularly and the heart rate wasn't exactly what he wanted so he sent me over to L&D I'm having contractions very 2 to 3 min so it will be today.
My family is driving me CRAZY already. I told them they were going to send me over but that I didn't have to rush so it would be awhile. They got here before us and are driving me nuts already.
Best of luck mommyof3. I hope everything goes well for you and your DH can keep control of your family so they are not annoying you too much
