TTC Blue Crew Grads

Jen: Wow, you could be getting all stretched and in labor right now!!!

B: As far as the cervix stretching, sweeping, stirring, stripping (all the same thing) the doc or midwife sticks their finger tip into your cervix and makes their finger like a hook and just goes around and around to agitate things and if your body is ,ready you could go into labor. I have had mine done with all the children and only 1 time did I go into labor close to that day. 4 of the 6 children I was induced with 1.5-2+ wks over due and the other 2 I was not induced and had on or the day before my due date. Edited to say: Yes it is very uncomfortable, but so is being huge preggo. And normally there is some spotting.

MFC: I still say beautiful boy.

ELP: That age of say whatever and not worry what people think is always soooo cute.

TTC5: When is you next scan, 2 wks did you say?

The weather is nice and I may as well clean out a few chicken coops with the kids....blah :)

HEY LADIES~ I keep meaning to post more in here. I still don't really feel pregnant aside from having to pee a bunch and being a little more tired than usual. And my lower back is killing me. Not like going into labor, just like strained muscles. I read that pregnancy loosens up your back muscles or something? Not sure, but it is sore.

ELP, do your kids really not know there is a baby coming yet?? He's almost here!

3P1B, I have had my membranes stripped with 2 of my babies and didn't even know it! I asked my Dr. to do it during an exam, and he said, "I already did it." So it wasn't painful to me. But I have heard others say it was really uncomfortable.

Princess of Pink, I hope your DH agrees to an attempt this month! Good luck!

Spicy tuna, glad all is well with your and your pregnancy!

WP, do you really clean out chicken coops when you are pregnant? You are tough! No WAY I would do that. I won't even pick up dog poop in the yard!

5 - I know he's a he I just still really need to see it lol

MFC - I'm not even going to lie, I suck at guessing but loved watching your little critter squirm :)

ELP - I'm going to beg for the sweep today! With dd1 & 3 it did nothing but with dd2 she came 3-4 days later, thats what I'm hoping for :)

POP - fx for you, you'll be over here before you know it :wink:

B- nope stripping doesn't hurt but is uncomfortable. Basically what WP said :)

off to my appt, I'll check in later :)

just when you think it can't get any bigger, 39 wks

Maybe I misunderstood; I thought your son asked why your tummy was big if there wasn't a baby in it. I might have read the post wrong. :oops:

Jen-I love that you post your pics! Yeah baby looks ready lol
So we are guessing here? How big was your other babys?(so i can guess too ;p)
