Sorry, how could I not post her stats?? I am a little out of it apparently...ha.
She was 7 lb 10 oz and 20 inches long (sorry bythe******, I'll leave you to convert to metric for me. ha) So average size. She doesn't look like any of us and we can't figure out where she got dark hair?! Other than that I think we will keep her. :)
Any action to report with you ladies? Come on!! Someone else!! I can't believe I was next. Bythe******, you don't want her to come till when now? After Thursday?
Oh I don't know anymore. DH would have been pretty stressed if she came today but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I think she had moved into a better position now I can feel a bum and back toward the front so that might help. I also realised last night I slept with a pillow between my knees when I was pregnant with ds2 and I think it helped open everything up for him to come early, so I tried it again last night and was having contractions I think but I stopped because DH really didn't want it to be today. So I'll try that again tonight. It might work for you to Zem. On your left side with your right leg raised is supposed to be a very good way to give birth too.
Well sort of stuck in a hard place right now, my oldest son got sick after supper. So that makes 3 out of the family now to get sick. It is only me and the youngest 2 left. It seems to last about a day and a half. Hope no one else gets sick! Now even though I would love for her to come now, I would be so worried for her to get sick. Also hope I don't get sick, seems to take me longer to get over sicknesses. Joys of fall...
Lizzie- wow that is a good size! Hope Rozline is about that size. Even though I like my small babies, I am hoping that she is bigger. Hopefully closer to 8 pounds. My biggest was 7.5 and my smallest was 6.10.
BTS- I have been sleeping with a pillow just for comfort between my legs, but maybe I should put a bigger pillow, just to open them up more. Today (before Riley got sick) I was doing some silly things. Hoping that it would help move things along. I decided to do about 50 jumping jacks... So far seems like they did a lot of nothing! lol Oh well guess it is for the best for now.
I haven't tried jumping jacks Zem but I think I've tried just about everything else. I was in your position last week. We all had a cold and I was panicking she would come and get sick but she never came and we're all better now. Hope the same happens for your family.
Hey ladies, just thought I would share a great deal with you! If you go to Carseat Canopy and use the promo code `PTS12` you get the canopy free and just pay shipping. Also, Udder Covers has a free nursing cover with the promo code `THANKS2013` and Seven has a free sling with the promo code `carseat` you only pay shipping, all together, if you get them all, you spend about $38, and save about $120. I ordered the canopy for a little over $12, so excited to get it.
Thanks Zem, I bought a car seat cover. Cost me $20 postage and currency difference but a little retail therapy is good when you're 6 days overdue. I got a sling a from that place another time they had a deal going. Tried the jumping jacks this morning but only managed 10 also been galloping like a horse and going up the stairs 2 at a time and being a bouncy as possible going back down. Plan to have 4 cups of raspberry leaf tea today too. Oh and sitting backwards on a kitchen chair. Any more suggestions? The only thing I haven't tried is castor oil, which I always said I wouldn't do bit is now becoming a consideration.
Well here are some, some I have done this time, others I haven't tried yet. Going to the park or something and swinging on the swings, supposed to help baby move down more. Curb walking. Sex, but I am sure you know that one lol. Squats. Bounce on a birth/exercise ball. Pressure points. Sitting in a warm bath, have heard it is supposed to help soften the cervix. Don't know how true that one is, have been taking nightly baths, hasn't done much for me yet..lol Well other then being soothing. Have also seen people talking about a caster oil belly rub? Supposed to put it on the belly and put a warm wash cloth on it. don't know what it is actually supposed to do...lol Last pregnancy I tried the caster oil... ICK lol. oh man it tasted sooo bad. Did nothing but clear me out, which isn't a bad thing, as I was pretty backed up....Oh I am sure there are many more..lol
I did my 50 jumping jacks again tonight, also bounced on the ball for a while. So far nothing again, but hope it shows that I am making at least some progress as my Dr. visit on thurs. I get you on buying things..lol It will be getting cold here soon, so I wanted to get something to cover the car seat. I just don't like those covers that seem like they will touch the babies face. So figured I would try out these. I have a friend who has one, she likes it at lot. I got the "Lovely" one. it has a black, white, and grey flowery design on the outside and is pink on the inside. What one did you end up getting?
Wonder if any of the other ladies who were in this due date group will show up and post birth stories... Wish there were more of us.
Tried the curb walking yesterday. Felt very silly, I can see how it could work though. I would give it again today but it's pouring with rain.
GIRLS!!! I keep logging in, excited to see an update that one of you is in labor, but nothing??!! This is getting unacceptable! (haha. Said the girl that is no longer pregnant.) There is some bumpy road in the LA canyon that is supposed to induce labor. I never tried anything this time as my induction was forced. I do think she would have come on her own that weekend anyway. I thought we were going to go in earlier the night before, but who knows. Curb walking sounds hilarious.
Thanks for the heads-up on the deals. I am interested in those car seat covers.
How long will they let you guys go? Forever??!! haha Just kidding. Zem has her appointment tomorrow. What about you bythe******? Do you have an appointment or a date where they would induce, or is that not an option?
