  • 37+5 but ultrasound says 39+5 My boy, Grady Austin Peter, is over 8 lbs. Having contractions for 4 days now. :-S :-W
  • My local theater has something called Movies for Mommies where the sound is reduced the lights r kept dim and a change table with free diapers n wipes at the back. It's so nice cause they show regular evening movies n matinees for toddlers too.
  • I agree that I'll be leaving after my delivery. I have tried to help others who ask but find it just a fun way to connect with others who share my values & concerns. Honestly there are better sources of info.& advice. Good luck in ur journey…
  • Estimated due dates are just that - an estimate! If its not apparently healthy to continue a pregnancy or stop an early labor, you should trust ur doc or midwife to make that decision, as well as do ur own research, monitoring and trust ur body. Due…
  • It's true what she said about the hospital environment stopping your labor. It's a very primitive chemical reaction in our brains that keeps labor going and any kind of anxiety or adrenaline will counteract that process. Do your best to keep focus…
  • It could be the cord. It has its own pulse that sounds slightly different than the baby's.
  • It could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. If you have urgency to pee and pain when you pee, I'd get checked for the infection ASAP. It could be BH contrations. Keep track of when they start & how long they last. If it starts to form a…
  • I found red raspberry leaf tea bags at the health food store. It tones & strengthens your uterine muscles, like a workout before a race! It is safe to drink through whole pregancy but especially important from 34wks on. It also is thought to …
  • Oh, I forgot, I also have those lightning bolt pain in my vagina, it's not a contraction unfortunately, my midwife told me it's a pinched nerve in my pelvis under the baby's head. Contractions to me last time felt more like a tightening in my abdom…
  • At 36, your baby is not ready yet. His/her lungs need another couple weeks to be able to breathe well on the outside. You can be dilated & effaced for weeks before actually going into labor. Be patient, it'll be worth the wait, I promise.
  • it's the semen, not the sex. It contains prostaglandins that help ripen your cervix. And it works in contact with your cervix, not internally (ie, swallowing doesn't help). Nipple stimulation, clitoral stimualation & prostaglandins also help …
  • I have a prenatal with my midwife next Thursday I'll def talk to her then. I guess I'm just anxious to ask her all these questions and wanted to vent to u preglys. The US tech told me same thing, original date stands.
  • The risks of csections r numerous but there is so much info.to sift.thru. here's another link.comparing vbac to multiple csections. www.givingbirthwithconfidence.org/2-2/a-womans-guide-to-vbac/weighing-the-pros-and-cons/
  • You can do it and u will prove them wrong. I hate the ones who.don't support the best choice u can make. Esp if its ur.first, u need all the encouragement.possible. as long as u believe in yourself that's all that matters. It helped me to research …
  • Especially if ur bteastfeeding, nothing else required. It's kinda cool how milk works; when u feed, the first bit of milk is mostly water & the hind milk is thicker and higher in fat content. Natures way of helping ur baby get what he needs. If …
  • I'm not as worried about everything turning out the way I want or think it should, I had an idea of motherhood and what my daughter would be like it was not accurate at all but its still great. Also the strengthening of my relationship into a 3 way …
  • Don't go too far from home, I had my daughter 12 hours after I lost my plug.
  • U may see more show as the day goes on, with or without blood. Go for a long walk, have sex if ur up for it, stay hydrated. Sounds like ur on ur way!
  • Orgasm, nipple stimulation, & clitoral stimulation cause ur body to release oxytocin which is the same hormone that causes uterine contractions & ur milk to let down. It hurts but unless ur estrogen levels have peaked and ur body is ready to…
  • There's got.to be a comprimise somehow, can u make it a middle name or come up with new ideas from scratch? I feel its very important that u BOTH like it and he's not being fair. If there was a name u liked and he hated, that should be vetoed as wel…
  • Is say same thing, u may have a low laying placenta. It can bleed from pressure. I have been diagnosed with this from 20 else on but have had no bleeding episodes yet 35 else now but I'm paranoid. I don't squat or lift anything and rarely have sex. …
  • I have same prob, last time too. My theory is stretching. Palmers (the cocoa butter stuff) makes a product for itching its an oil with a pump that mists onto ur skin. It helped me a bit. I tried everything last time.

  • @a_wagner & @Seifer12211 make sure u keep feeding evenly on both sides, your breasts will regulate the production based on how much milk ur taking out. Good luck!
  • Stuff to pass the time, books, cards, music. Stuff to help stay focused, ultrasound photo or pic of a beautiful beach. Toiletries like deodarant, toothbrush, lip balm, and lotion. Camera, phone & charger. Extra panties. List of people to text or…
  • No, I wouldn't, unless ur worried about a lack of weight gain or serious jaundice. She'll fall into her own pattern of eating & sleeping. As long as her poops n pees r regular, she's getting enough. I think the recommendation is 8-12 feedings pe…
  • My 2.5 yr old is pretty good but throws a fit & tells me once in a while she doesnt want a baby. She has a cousin the same age who just had a baby sister who she loves but says our baby is going to live at aunties house. I have explained a lot a…
  • Hsbd, Rosalee, & baby boy A/C Gaviscon Very cold water Morning cup of coffee Bathroom Ice cream My midwife Debbie Massages from mom, RMT My cute chiropractor, Dr. Dean
  • For mothers day, I got the new pjs I wanted, he was going to get a gift card but I made him pick it out. After 8 yrs, I said, u should be able to pick. Plus he took me, our daughter & my SIS n her kids to the zoo. It was nice n cheap. I plan to …
  • I don't know what I would do if I was actually in that situation but I had many fantasies and dreams about 2 other men in the first 3 months of my pregnancy. Nothing I'd ever act on, I'm happily married. Idk where the thoughts came from, one guy w…
  • my only advice is if you decide to use it, keep yourself very hydrated. And stay near a bathroom! Have not tried it, my doula was strongly against it last time and my daughter was a day early so I didn't need it. My knowledge is from research onl…
