Anyone else due??

Thank you Belle. How are you doing? Are you feeling a bit better?
I ate a curry yesterday by case, didn´t think it could do anything. I had a couple of contractions in the evening and I woke up at 4 in the morning and had another two. I thought it was starting and thought how great it was, Dh could take the boys to school and in the afternoon they could come to visit the baby- well not. Today nothing special is happening.

I downloaded a Hypnobabies Mp3 file Come out baby lol,thinking if it doesn´t help it doesn´t hurt either.
DH and I joke about tomorrow, he watches this show on Tuesday that I hate so he has been saying all the time that I can´t give birth on a Tuesday and I tell him that I am absolutely going to give birth tomorrow! Well if baby is not here by tomorrow evening he will have others things to do then watching tv, haha! I hope baby comes before Friday, I´m not looking forward to being induced.

Indigo you´re almost due, yay! Can´t wait to see a picture of your litttle baby boy. The ´chillow´ sounds so funny and comfortable as well, never heard of it before. This pregnancy I slept very well, except for last night, had a long nap this afternoon.
Journey how great it will be when your DH is at home for 3 weeks, I bet your baby will come then when you can relax about him being there. Sorry it is that hot, here it got a lot better over the weekend. Now the heat is coming again tomorrow. Do you have a garden or balcony? I think you need to put up that paddle pool Kell was talking about lol!

oops double post

Where did you get a copy of this hypno birthing - I was doing so much research on it back around 20-30w mark and gave up when I had to pay for everything :/ lol
People have started placing there bets on when he'll come. Sis said 6th, Friend said 13th another said 14th.
Waiting game now I guess. I'm bouncing on my ball as we speak. But nothing going on here a few BH through out the day but sweet FA else.
I have a garden but even with a pool its just to humid. Just not pleasant to out in. I'm hoping to go for a walk this evening with DH but he's waxing the car ! :/ Nesting perhaps? lol!

Hey girls - Just checking in. Any more babies last night? How's everyone doing?
As for me - DH and I took a nice long walk last night which was nice but only amounted to lower back ache, a few BH's, pressure in my butt and mosquito bites.
Today I've broken all the rules. I've been reading online about massaging the perineum sounds gross I know, but this being baby#1 I'll do what it takes to make it easier, So I broke open on EPO capsules and gave it a go for a few mins. Then popped just one capsule inside to 'soften' my cervix.
A few more BH going on this morning but nothing out the norm.

That doesn´t sound gross, I massage my perineum!l lol. I was very bothered by the stitches after Ds 2 -I teared up- so I´ll try anything that might help. What I think is very important is for the perineum to have the time to stretch, so no pushing when the baby is crowning, and the head should come out with one contraction and the rest of the body with the next contraction. With both births however my children just flew out all in once, after all that pushing when their heads finally passed the rest of the body came along. Oh how I hate the sensation when the head crowns..

I have something else you can look into Journey lol: accupressure. I watched it on youtube and it´s easy to do.
I must say it does give me one contraction but it doesn´t start labor.
So no baby news here..

Oh and the MP3 file is from hypnobabies.com, this one I paid for but there are also some free ones I think. The other free ones I have are in German, so that might not help.

Speaking about walks, going for a small one now just to get out of the house. I find that that doesn´t do much either, just gives me back pain and annoying BH like you´re saying Journey and nothing more.

Hi girls, just checking in! Kell, your baby and family are beautiful! :heart: I can't wait to see more babies (esp. you Indira, I can't believe your baby is such a tease when we all want to see him/her!)

I'm 38 weeks and a couple days and dilated to 2 1/2 or so, even though I've gone late with all my others maybe this baby will come sooner. I've never dilated ahead of time before. Very nerve wracking because I have a zillion things to do...we don't even have a name picked out yet!

Indira- Thanks for the hypnobirth link- I'm downloading as we speak. Might be worth checking it out.
I'll also check out this acupressure, Thank you :) Always good to have these options on hand.
Your bubba is being a stubborn monkey. Hopefully something will start to happen soon.
I'm wondering if I can get dh out again tonight. I know he has plans to wax the car :/

Atomic sagebrush - Great news your 2cm already :) and I bet you didn't even feel it. Thats what I would like. Slow and painless progress.
As for not having things ready. I'm sure your body will let you know before something happens to kick in to gear.
And the name will come :)

Quick question ladies - Should I be looking in to buying hypnobabies - Come OUT baby! Or, Birth Partner, Relax and Be Confident .. There both the same price - But I'd like to buy the one which will keep me calm and relaxed through the labor.

Just want to say best of luck to all you ladies that are due =D

Journey Baby come out is about relaxing all muscles and tissues to let baby out, visualising the cervix opening, letting go of worries and fears considering birth, and talking to the baby to convince him/her to come out. It also prepares you to relax with every 'birth wave getting stronger' :). I find it's very much for overdue pregnancies, it's not exactly what you're looking for but it might be near enough. It does make you go in deep relaxation. It's 30 minutes btw. I don't know the other one.

Atomic that is so exciting your little girl might be here soon! Yeah looks like I'm going to have an August baby too.
