Hubby and I just finished our last Hypnobirthing class last night, and I am feeling confident that this will go really well. I just want to get it all started!!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Having two children already, I can certainly sympathize with wanting to have the pregnancy over with as soon as possible. The thought of going through the hotter parts of the summer pregnant is not a pleasant one, but just remember this. the little one inside you knows when he or she is ready, and all the natural " help " in the world won't bring them out until they are ready (and they shouldn't until they are ready anyways!). Both of my kids were overdue. We used to joke that they didn't want to give up the waterbed! Kayleigh (my oldest) was overdue by 3 weeks, and Chelsea was 2 weeks late. While it was uncomfortable, I am glad that they stayed in until they were ready to come out. Mother Nature (usually!) knows best for normal, healthy pregnancies. Best of luck!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 , I would be content to sit back and let nature take it's course but I am trying for VBAC and I have a history of large babies 1 vaginal 8lbs 9oz at 39 weeks and 1 cesarean(because of placenta previa) 6lbs 8oz at 36 weeks so If I want a successful VBAC she can't be too big and my OB's will not induce a VBAC because of the risks of rupture. So she has a limited window of opportunity to come on her own before she gets to big. This is my Husbands first child and I desperately want him to be able to witness his child coming into the world the natural way so he can participate in her birth. Believe me I will do what's best for her but if I can help her along I will. Like I said 37 weeks I'll start trying if she is not ready she won't come and if she is she will.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Janine, I have also told my hubby be ready to work I read this evening an article about natural ways to induce labor and sex was recomended in double doses they said try it once keeping the semen close to the cervix for as long as possible and then do it again a few hours later. Also other techniques were discussed such as nipple stimulation (which has been known to cause harsh painfull contractions that could possibly cause stress to the baby), castor oil (which does cause your bowel to empty and can be painfull),and reflexology. There is a spot on the inside of each heel right below and a bit behind the ankle bone that is said (and my friend swears it works her mother in law did it to her and she went into labor that night) to coincide with your uterus and can cause you to contract. Also the point for you pituitary gland (called the master gland)about the middle of your big toe or a little lower is supposed to help because your pituitary gland is responsible for releasing oxytocin. I'm not suggesting anybody use these techniques I'm just relaying what I've read up on and I think I like the sex and the reflexology best. There is a salon nearby that has a massage therapist that does reflexolgy so maybe next week I'll treat myself to a pedicure and a massage Brown edd 8/31/2002 > - > > I'm due on Aug. 25th, and I with you on the 37 week thing.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 AWWWWWWWW!!! Now I am starting to get jealous! I am starting to get excited about Sept. YAY just next month. As far as getting baby here, I completely agree. It will work if she is ready. I had really big babies and problems with the one I had VBAC because of his size. He had shoulder dystocia and a lot of problems! I had him at 37.1 weeks as a result of an induction thinking he would be small enough. WRONG!! He was 9 lbs. 10 oz!! My first was 10 lbs. 2 oz. at 38.5 weeks. He was a C-section. Well my third was a C-section at 37.1 weeks for fear of a repeat of the second delivery and she was 7lbs. 5 oz. We are going for another C-section this time!! I am 5'2 " and wasn't built to birth those big babies. I do envy those who can. I don't know why I went on and on, SORRY! I guess I am just agreeing with you, if you can get her here earlier than your due date, you will have a better chance at a VBAC. You and baby will be in my prayers!!!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Thank you Trina for you support.You definatly had some big babies when I had my 8 pounder he tore my cervix as well as my perinium so I can't even imagine any bigger. I still have about a week and a half before I can start trying and when I said that to my hubby he said that soon (eyes popping out at me)!!! I laughed so hard I gave myself a braxton hicks.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Baby Carmen due August 26th....actually, I've changed the due date (myself) to August 22nd...just a woman's intuition thing! Feeling good, but getting tired and hoping baby Carmen isn't too little. My son was 9lbs8oz and I have a feeling that this baby is much smaller. I'd be happy with at 7.5lbs....8 or over would be better, though. Thanks for checking in with us!!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Marcy, My son seems very happy to be a big brother and he always tells me to drive safely and if I hurt myself he asks if the baby is ok. So I am hoping he will be fine I have a ten year old also and they fight constantly so I hope he feels like he can get closer to the baby than he is to his older brother and not feel that middle child syndrome I hear about. Right now he is the baby (and he acts like it too) so he'll have to grow up a little.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 , I am with you on wanting her to come early. My husband just about died when I told him I would WANT to have sex starting around the 17th. Big switch. I have a feeling Avery will be early all on her own, but that's probably just wishful thinking and she'll still be cookin' in September. Best of luck to everyone!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 , That is so sweet how he is so concerned for you and the baby. We only told my daughter a month ago, when I was 4 months, because I had a few complications in the beginning and we really wanted to make sure me and the baby were ok before we told. Well shes had about 3-4 weeks now, and she talks about it " some " she hasnt really gone all out excited yet. Although she DID ask us for years to give her a little brother or sister, and from what I hear, she talks about having a brother or sister to her friends and their parents, like at birthday parties and stuff. But with us, shes been a little quiet about it. We took her to my last visit and she got to see the ultrasound and she smiled, but I think its all still new to her. I just hope that after asking us for so long, she DOES get excited eventually. She does ask how Im doing and all that. I'm only 5 months so time will tell. But anyway, I have been concerned about the age difference between the two. My sister and I were 2 years apart and fought non stop, maybe THIS age difference will be good lol.......Just wanted to ask someone else in the same position, thanks for responding!!!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Marcy, I'm sure that once you start to really " show " , that she'll get really excited. Often times it's hard for kids that young to really understand what being pregnant means until they see the concrete proof. Until then it's an abstract to them, and not something to get excited over. Think of it in terms of a candy bar in hand, or the promise of ice cream later. Most kids will generally take the candy bar from you immediately, because it's in front of them, and they can see it. Ice cream later isn't quite so tangible to them. S At Wednesday, 31 July 2002, you wrote: >, > >That is so sweet how he is so concerned for you and the baby.
