Oh DM....I totally get your fears.....I went thru the same thing with DS#2's birth......and so every pg I have had I fear that I have no fluid for the baby or that they will end u in the NICU again like him. And esp. after losing Evan my fear of a still born is heavy on my mind! I freak everytime I don't think this little guy is moving enough! And the last few days I have felt really yucky. So I totally get your fears. All in all DM you know your body and your baby best do whatever you feel is right for you! I on the other hand will induce if doc says to......I can't take much more of the fear and stress...they are causing me anxiety like no bodies business!

Ok, Felina - we get it: you want to make sure everyone is watching and waiting with anticipation before you make your dramatic entrance into this world. Goal achieved. Now it's time to get to work and start your journey. You may feel all warm and cozy right now, but it will feel even nicer to be cuddled in your Mommy's arms or nuzzled in drinking some tasty breastmilk. Your Mommy is tired and your whole family is waiting to meet you. Wait until you see how many people love you already and they haven't even met you! The next time I hear from your Mom I want it to be a birth announcement!

Hugs DM. Your little girl is just too comfy in there. I keep checking hoping to hear the good news. Hopefully she will come out VERY soon!

sorry shes not budging DM.
i have only had the one over due, and that was my last one.
i did go into labour on his due date but after 12 hours of no progression it stopped.
the midwives told me it was because i was so stressed and anxious.

i was so ready to not be pregnant anymore, i was huge and uncomfortable and totally over it.
i had tried EVERYTHING to get him out....
and i was so worried he wasnt going to come and they would send me home.

all that worry and stress is why i was sent home.

try and take some relaxing you time.
have a nice long bath, with some lavender and scented candles, and chamomile tea. (lots of chamomile tea, it helps relax the cervix and encourages dialation, also great for the anxiety)
get some of your fave music going, and just forget about everything for a little bit.
i know its not easy....

sending all the labour vibes i got your way!

She's here!!! Born at 8:10pm, April 28th, into her Daddy's hands in the birth pool. She's such a cutie! 7lbs 11oz. Everything went super smooth! Started having a few cx's that I had to stop and breath through, around 4pm. They changed in strength around 7pm and I started pushing around 7:50pm. She's nearly my smallest baby but she hurt the most to push out! I'll post pics and birth story tomorrow Thank you everyone for your sweet thoughts and labour vibes! I HAVE A DAUGHTER!!!! Aaahhhhh!!!
