Into the home stretch

  • Went to the OB/GYN today and nope not dialated yet but she said my cervix is softening and he is head down. YIPPY! Next Monday I have an ultrasound before my appointment to see how big this little booger is
  • I dunno about his head, but the way he keeps riding low and throwing tantrums in here, feels like his head, feet, elbows, hands, knees, and the whole kitten kaboodle is down and banging the heck outta my innards. He kicked me so hard in the middle of the night one night that it woke me and caused me to expel my breath quickly. Like being gut punched awake. LOL
  • Kimberlie.. that is so exciting!

    don't worry about not yet being dialated. Being dialaed before labor doesn't mean that labor is going to come sooner. It only means that once you are in labor your labor will go that much faster. KWIM?

    It seems so long ago that I was pregnant - I know it's hard to imagine me staying this.. but enjoy these last few days - You are going to become a very different person very soon! This is one of the biggest moments of your life!

    Hugs to you sweetie!

  • That's exciting! I hope things go smoothly for you I had one of mine at 38 weeks. I don't know if you have any interest in this or not but I drank red raspberry leaf tea and took evening primrose oil capsules with both of mine (the red raspberry leaf tones smooth muscle which includes the uterus. It won't actually cause contractions, but it'll make any you do have more productive. The evening primrose oil helps soften the cervix. I took both with both pregnancies starting around 36 weeks, I believe, and with both pregnancies I was dialated to 4 before going into labor.) but if you are, I can post or PM some links to you about dosages and you can check it out with your doctor.
  • Kimberlie-- I am so excited for you.. You are only 2 weeks away! I can't believe how quickly this has all gone! I can't wait for this! Are you a wreck or are you all ready to go? AHHHHHH I Can't wait.
  • Yay Kimberly!!! This is soooo exciting!!
