It also helps to soften the cervix, which can make the delivery easier...

They are a nuisance, aren't they? Is your baby puttinghimself/herself in positions that are really uncomfortable?Mine likes to do that. Sometimes I can't even stand up orwalk straight. I have to use both my hands to move him backto his normal spot. LOL :shock:

Tomorrow is the day! How are you feeling?I'm having a bit of anxiety about labor and delivery andcaring for the baby afterwards. I'm kind of scared.

no more progress has been made. So,now I'm going to have to go in for bi-weekly monitoring to make surethings are going ok inthere. if they are, she'll let me waitit out for another week or 2 and if not, she'll induce. nofun. :X

me and this little boy are going tohave some chats about what it means to be on time.

It's not nice to make mommy wait!

how are you all doing?

That naughty little boy!!!:disgust:He just doesn't want to come out of there!A momma's boy already!! I hope you don'thave to get induced but if that's what the doctors recommend then Iwould do what they say. That little stinker has to come outeventually!

Maybe if you have Gracie and your dog jump on your belly?

Nessa, my mom was telling me about how my baby brother would push hisfeet out to the front of her stomach so hard that you could actuallysee a clear imprint! He always was a difficult kid...

Induction is really not that bad, its just thewaiting thats hard. I think they first put gel there twice and thenthey use iv with pitosin to start the labor. I only needed one gel andthen pitosin. In case of being induced I heard thats its better to getepidural since its more painful than regular labor, since they speedthings up.

Hi Varna. We've decided to keep the name a secret until babyis born. I'll give you a hint though. It's not acommon name but it's traditional.

I didn't get a chance to try the ginger tea because my heartburn hasimproved! In fact, I haven't had heartburn for a few weeksnow! Yay! I think he may have dropped.

GOOD NEWS!!!mskoala had her baby boy at 9:32 a.m. thismorning. The baby is 6 lbs. 15 oz. and21 incheslong!!. Congrats mskoala!!!:elephant::bunnydance::elephant::bunnydance:
