So should I be doing this? >> I didn't do it but I do sleep with my shirt off trying to toughen them up a little bit. But I don't think you need to do somthing like that if you are going to though be very careful you don't wanna start off with sore nipples because you were trying to get them ready. Really I think all you need to do is before every latch and after the finish squeze a little milk out and rub it into the nipple and then once they are done eating do it again and leave your bra flaps down until they air dry I did that and I never had any sort of sore nipple.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 Just curious, why would they induce before your due date? I'm hoping not to be induced also, I'm due 7/29, I go to get checked again tomorrow, last week the baby's head was still floating, cervix was softened and funneling and 'favorable' for labor. Maybe we'll see some progress tomorrow! Sue >I am due 8-5 I bet your getting excited.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 Today is my 39 week check. I'm anxious to hear what they have to say. Personally I think this baby dropped and am hoping to be told the head is engaged if nothing else. I guess I'll be surprised if nothing else is happening but am trying to take one day at a time!
