Due date in 3 days

Please send me some luck or something..... : ) I am tired of being pregnant and have no sign of anything! No contrations nor progress. Baby is too comfy in there! LOL

Re: Due date in 3 days

  • Wow!  3 days, YAY!!!  You never know, your water might break tomorrow! Walk around alot tomorrow!  When I had Robbie, I had not progress either, I went to the mall and pop!  I thought I pissed my pants!

  • You know I've got my fingers crossed for you.  Rylie wants to meet her BFF!  Big Smile  Come on Lily!

     

  • I hear lots and lots of sex and bouncing on giant balls helps.

     

    Seriously.  Those big yoga balls ;)

    And this is why in my last few weeks I will be carrying an extra pair of pants and undies with me at all times. ;)

  • LOL! I used to be afraid of the water breaking but I kind of wish for it now... haha. : ) I don't really want to go anywhere by myself right now though!

     I guess I will blow up my big ole yoga ball and try it...the sex ***** sigh***** I think that's a myth.

  • I personally don't understand how bouncing up and down on a big ball is going to get your labor going, but the 3rd tri girls swear by it... ;)
  • I am sending major labor dust your way! I totally remember that feeling, it wasn't that long ago for me and it was awful!
  • Well, none of the tricks worked for me- I went 5 days late. But, my water broke while I was cleaning the already clean guest bathroom for the umpteenth time! Got the urge to do that? I was unstoppable, until it broke- gross. I thought I was safe, hearing that 10% thing from the pregnancy boards. Lucky me. I'm a 10%er! But, by that time, you just don't care anymore! LOL!

    Soon, Jen! I know it's rough to be so big and pregnant in July here! :)

  • Oh I forgot about the cleaning!!  That how it was with Aiden...I had the whole house clean when Eric got home (To go to our Lamaze class) and was on my hands and knees scrubing the base boards.  18 hours later I was holding  Aiden! LOL

    Are you sure "yoga balls" are the type of big balls they are talking about bouncing onWink haha!

    I hope you dont have to wait too long. I am sure by that time I will be like "ok...just do what you gotta do to get this baby out of me"

    Good luck...keep us posted. Spicy foods, lots of activity!!!!!

  • Oh wow three days! Oh I'm hoping you go into labor soon, good luck!!! AHHH! (sorry freaked out a little for you!)
  • Wow I can only imagine that feeling! Do some cartwheels, stand on your head, jump up and down. lol. Or just focus that very very soon your life is going to be compeltely upside! Try to enjoy your last few days.?
  • Wow 3 days to go.  Good Luck.  Since Ive never been there I have no advice.  I just hope you have an easy L&D and soon.
  • Oh, I am so excited for you to meet your bundle of joy soon:) :)
  • Oh how exciting. ?Good luck!! ?I hope everything goes smoothly and SOON!
  • Walking is the one thing that I have heard from many moms to work. Otherwise, positive thinking! I just had two friends go past their due dates, but only by a few days...it won't be too much longer! :)

     Wow, Jen, that's so soon!!  Yay!!  And, FYI, the sex thing is NOT a myth.  There is a something in semen called prostaglandins that can "ripen" the cervix, which will help it dilate and efface.  Also, an orgasm in a woman produces oxcytocin which is the same hormones that promotes contractions.  The synthetic form of this hormone is called "pitocin" which everyone recognizes as the drug they use to induce labor.  So ther definiely is some science behind it.  Not saying it works all the time for everyone but it definitely couldn't hurt.  Stick out tongueWink

    Except I would imagine that when you get to this point in a pregnancy, sex is the least thing on your mind.  Plus, the sheer logistics of it......????

  • I have no advice, etc...but how exciting! I'll be sending labor dust and good thoughts your way! Can't wait to see the post saying Lily is here!!
  • Thanks girls!!!

    Cartwheels LOL!... and you are totally right sex at this point...not so easy!  ; ) I've been trying the walking as well (at night of course cause it is so freakin hot!)
  • Hey, girls. . . I didn't say it would be easy.  Just that it might actually work!  Copulate at your own risk!  Wink
