precious when you 100% just means baby could come anytime; but my friend was 100% for two weeks before she delivered. everyones different. and its very hard to predict every woman is different. i mean i predicted my son would be here by now & u know what.---hes still not here;;so its hard to say haha. im putting a new belly photo on piczo check it out; ive dropped alot!!!!! ↑

yea i just saw it on myspace its very low.. yea i know its different i just wanted to know where that takes part of labor.. last wed i was 90% but half a cm.. so who knows.. i did get contractions yesterday but they weren't consistent. ↑
Name: kendra.marie | Date: Jun 21st, 2008 10:08 AM
well thats a good point. yesterday i was having some horrible ones too with suddent crotch cramps (my friend told me when she got her crotch cramps was when she was dilating; so im praying & hoping thats a great sign for me) walking makes you enface so precious if thats what your wanting then walk i walked for about 1 hr & i enfaced 50% so yah but its hard when you get to 90% they say. lol if your in in active posiiton to keep making you dilate it can take a while but still not sure.
hopefully soon for all of us. ↑

Hey girls! My mom called me this morning to tell me that my stepbrother's wife had her baby girl this morning at 6am -- she was due July 14 (10 days AFTER my due date!!!!)....lol, I literally started crying! I felt like an idiot, but hey, hormones are in full gear and it was kind of frustrating. I also am jealous that she gets to hold her baby now. I am very happy for them, but getting worn out from 38 weeks of worry, LOL! I wish I could turn it off, but I just want her here in my arms soon. The anticipation is like NOTHING I've ever known in my life! :) ↑

sry to hear stef- just look at the good thing;;; your baby should be healthier then theirs due to prematurity & your baby will be here before you honestly know or think about it. ↑
Name: sashasmama | Date: Jun 21st, 2008 3:38 PM
Lols, STEF! Hahaha, I've been crying every time a baby is born on the baby shows. AND I've been crying a bunch period. I don't know why this is happening now. I was fine the whole pregnancy. Oh and then you'll worry about other stuff once she's born...like whether or not she's getting enough milk, the SIDS (I checked on my little girl every 10 minutes during her naps at first) and whatever else your crazy mother mind will come up with. My due date is 20 days away :( All of you girls are going way before me. ↑

Hey girls - still preggers here but trying to walk and sit on my yoga ball my computer has virus and that's one reason I can't log on ....we are putting up a kiddie pool in the backyard because it's 104 degrees out here and i will sit in it like a beached whale...LOL.....so my bff is here fixing it for me she is such a gem.....I have been having braxton hicks on and off and my lower back killing me....so that is good I guess......we'll see I'll keep you posted.....I have been feeling emotional alot lately too.....I am getting extremely uncomfortable and cranky it's so hard not to take it out everyone it's just so freaking hot! STEF - hang in there honey....our time is coming .....If Kendra or Julia doesn't beat me to it I'll be first and I can't believe it.......crazy....it would be nice to go into labor on my own and not be induced only becase I would have her sooner.....ok I just wanted to check in I need to check on my pool hugs girls we are on the home stretch!!! ↑

Tina, I posted on the other thread too. BUT, there is something wrong with this website, seriously. A bunch of times when I go here it would take me to some phishing web-site thingy saying how I need virus protection on my computer (which is actually a virus and if you click OK or even just CANCEL it'll download itself into your system), so you need to do the whole CTRL+ALT+DELETE and click on Processes and then click on iexplorer.exe and click QUIT PROCESS, otherwise you'll get the virus downloaded...unless you have virus protection. Ok, I hope that makes sense...or helps anyone. I also have some information on how to get rid of that thing, if you already got it. ↑

Hey girls, sounds like everyone is hanging in there. Same ol same ol here...I may go down to the pool today but really my swimsuit is just too small and I'm not about to go buy some maternity thing this late in the game soooo I may have to tough out the next week or so. The whole family is trying to make plans for the week after next like when they will be here, what everyone is going to do, etc. but I'm just like "I don't know when it's going to happen people!", ha ha...it is nice to know everyone is excited though. I'm going to try and get me some lovin today, but Jessie now tells me he is scared to do it as he might hit the baby's head. I'm like are you serious??? All this time and now he doesn't want to! lol :) I don't know if it would help much anyways, but we'll see. Kendra, you've tried about everything under the sun, haven't you? Well off to read some and eat breakfast I'll check in later. ↑
Name: Precious | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 10:47 AM
I've been reading around and i think ima take a chance with the Red Rasp. tea.. i know i shuldn't rush but i dont even know if that will work. Friday i had consistant pain but no contractions i think. my back has been hurting alot. i want to start having sex more but DH doesnt so Stef im with you lol. ↑
Name: kolleen_caudillo | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 11:13 AM
Goodmorning mommies =} i know it been a few days since ive been on but my sleeping sucks right now. i went to the dr on friday and im still at 2cm and 75% but lylee is at -2 now. they put me on the monitor and im contracting every 6 min. but they dont really hurt. but im so so so uncomfortable all the time plus with lylee not moving much they wanted to check me. well the end result is that they are going to induce me early this week. we are trying for tuesday. OMG IM GOING TO BE A MOM IN 3 DAYS!!!!! i will catch up on whats going on with all of you when i get back from church. i gotta get ready ↑
Name: stefkay | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 11:25 AM
Kolleen!!! I'm so jealous :) That is awesome girl! You and Tina are going to be mommies early this week!!!!!!! wooohoooo! I know that if I don't go into labor on my own that I will have to wait until next week (June 30-July 4). Oh well, no biggie. I'm just keeping an eye on Ava's movement to make sure she's good and it seems fine. At night around bedtime she gets CRAZY active like she's doing Tai Bo in there or something! It actually scared me the other night because I thought it was a bit much really for this stage of the pregnancy, but it's been like that now every night around 9 or 10 till 11 or later. Even if I walk around it doesn't lull her. I hope it is ok. Anyways, just still getting BH here and everytime I get one I feel like I am going to pee my pants so I guess that means my uterus is down lower or something. Thats the only uncomfortable thing about them really. No back pain or anything like that. JULIA, I'd say go for the raspberry tea as it probably can't hurt. I keep saying i'm going to go walk on the treadmill and I never do so maybe today. I just notice the only thing that hurts after walking are my feet. They kill me all the time now. The bottoms feel like they are flattened or something,lol. ↑

Ok girls - I got that virus and I had to dump my whole computer and restore it! so what ELENA said is no joke - make sure you pay attention to your virus protection and make sure it's updated! I'll check back in later ↑
Name: Precious | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 1:00 PM
So, i got one of my sister in laws to by me the tea.. but she bought Red Raspberry Tea.. it says nothing about Leaf.. so im assuming its the wrong one.
I keep reading that it has to say Leaf and not the berry.. and since im not a tea expert i have no clue if its the rite one.. ima drink it anyways because it smells so good. i might just go myself n look for the one that says Leaf.
The brand she bought is Bigalow Red Raspberry Tea. Caffine Free
so who knows.
Omg Kolleen i wish you the best and hope everything goes well i cant believe it in 3 days! ahhh im jealous 2 loL!! but im happy 4 u ↑
Name: cors1wfe | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 1:53 PM
KENDRA - girl I can't believe you haven't gone first....LOL and now KOLLEEN might beat us both to it??? Pray for my dh - he is feeling over run with company and another body arrives tonight - but as soon as the baby is born this one is leaving. My mom is the only one staying here for the extended amount of time. He has been a pretty good sport and now we are alone in the house until the boys get here they spent the night at Grandma's with a cousin visiting from Arizona. We are heading into the kiddie pool to cool off. It's 11am and 77 degrees INSIDE my house with the cooler blowing all friggin day....it's just so hot out.....I hope the pool still feels cool the sun hit it in the morning. KOLLEEN I think it's great you will be induced early ....we are all getting so close - STEF - LOL sorry but I just can't believe that Jessie is afraid now - he must be really well endowed to think he will hit little Ava in the head....LOLOLOL.....JULIA - just remember when you start drinking that tea it doesn't mean it's going to work I don't want you to get discouraged over it! I have been hoping and hoping that my Megan will come early but I have a feeling we will be going in for thhe induction Wednesday....and That's ok it's a few short days away. ↑
Name: kendra.marie | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 3:54 PM
tina--- i know right? well im having some good contractions back and front ones they are about 4 minutes apart maybe 6 at max. im going to go for a walk here soon when kelsey wakes from her nap';; well ladies im not in ur boat he always wants to have sex maybe thats cuz its baby 2 who knows? right so maybe tomorrow ill haev a baby i could only pray right? i believe if id go to l n d they would induce me the rest of the way if i was contracting good since im 38 weeks =] im praying right ? we will see im now getting lower tyummy upper crotch cramps followed with back pains? maybe thats a good sign. i have gas too it sucks lol ↑
Name: Precious | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 9:50 PM
Tina, i know it wont get me into labor sooner.. the tea did smell good... but it was nasty i didnt even finish the 1st cup lol.. i dont know it does say it helps u relax.. so i might just take it for pleasure.. but i know that there is nothing in this world that can provoke labor sooner.. so ima just wait. ↑
Name: kendra.marie | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 10:09 PM
i was reading the more excited you are for baby the farther it pushes off labor ;; labor wont come if your anxious it said? hmm i wonder if thats true in that case maybe thats why strads still in lol. although ladies TMI --ive been having major diahrea all day long today? it sucks cuz it comes in spirts you dont know when to expect it. im in so much pain im off to bed (or try at least?) maybe sex later who knows. well talk to you ladies tomorrow hopefully. lvoe & good luck to every single one of you. <33333 ↑
Name: cors1wfe | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 10:33 PM
Ok girls we we went and sat in the pool for a couple of hours and if you had seen us you would have thought we were in a huge pool the way we were so relaxed.....we are squished in this kiddie tub it's nice and cool. I got a little red but I should be tan by Tuesday......I have a bump photo finally please check out piczo.....I had sex I don't know if that really does anything......I guess you have to let the semen work it's magic before getting up to pee and I can't really stand that so I think it's in vain....we had a pretty relaxing day and might jump back in the pool in a few minutes! Megan doesn't seem to be moving as much as she should after I ate so I might drink some juice and do a kick count.....I'll keep you all posted - hugs ladies and we will see now who goes first! tick tock tick tock...LOL ↑
Name: stefkay | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 11:07 PM
I know! I've heard similar things about being relaxed to go into labor. My mom said that she had some type of kidney infection or something with me and she went to the dr. and he gave her a valium and antibiotics (weird combo for kidney infection,but oh well) and she went into labor with me that night. She thinks it was due to the valium, LOL! ↑
Name: stefkay | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 11:08 PM
Oh, I go to my acupuncturist on Tuesday and I get to lay in a dark room for like 45 mins and she is going to do something to help me dilate hopefully so maybe that will help? I hear acupuncture can work well so we'll see :) ↑
Name: cors1wfe | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 11:30 PM
ok girls it's cooling off finally.,....I am so happy it's definitely cooler today than yesterday...hope it stays cool tomorrow...I am so uncomfortable... ↑
Name: stefkay | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 9:37 AM
Tina, did you read Krissy's birth story? That is so cool her baby is here but it scared the bejeezus out of me! It really freaks me out how incompetent some labor and delivery's can be! I've never heard anything bad about the one I'm going to, but still I'm so scared of being sent home when I should be kept. Agh! ↑
Name: kendra.marie | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 10:05 AM
still going strong ladies; i thought id have him today (at 10pm last nite contractions started getting stronger n closer ended at 2 1/2 minutes apart & were strong enough to make me cry;; after 4 hrs they eased off & liek disappeared from no where--i was pissed. we also had sex OUCHHHHHH i cried it hurt so bad;; hes so low nothing is comfortable ne more; ive come to the conclusion he will arrive when hes butt is good & ready or when his mother relaxes ha ha. i didn't want to go to l & d last night & be sent home so i didn't even call or go & i have a feeling if i would have went they might have induced me the rest of the way considering im 38 weeks (who knows tho) we will only see ↑
Name: luckymenm23 | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 10:05 AM
Good Morning Ladies!!!! Kolleen so tomorrow your going to have your baby.. thats amazing. I bet your nervous just knowing your baby is coming well probably more Excited!! You girls are doing so much walking and having sex and nothing seems to work does it :( I told my boyfriend we were going to start having sex every other day starting this week to see if anything could happen but im not sure if it will he he of course he doesnt mind cuz once the baby comes he has to wait a bit for sex.. :) ↑
Name: luckymenm23 | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 10:10 AM
Well with me i get pains down there but never constint, she decreased in movement but im sure she is just squished. I still fill her move though. My boyfriend had his pamper party yesterday got a lot of diapers and wipes. Alot of size 1's... I was thinking of taking one of the boxes of ones and goig to walmart to see if they will let me switch it to a 2 or 3. Do you think they will?? I really think baby might not come until the week im actually due. But who knows right. she might surprise me :) ↑
Name: kendra.marie | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 10:39 AM
kolleen- im jealous =[ how do you get yours before i get mine lol. lucky- youll be surprised how many size 1's youll need. kelsey was in size preemie forever moved to ones then took her till almost 6-7 months to get to twos. id hold off a bit & see how big baby is when baby arrives. just in case; just what im thinking lol. do as you please tho. lol. stef- i know if i dont go into labor i think ill have to wait like a couple after my due date to get induced (so id go longer then july 5th :( ) sad i know. ↑
Name: stefkay | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 10:48 AM
We still haven't had sex yet and I'm just going to hang on this week and see what the dr. says on Friday at my u/s. I might try walking and stuff but I figure Ava will come when she is ready so I'm just stressing myself out trying things that probably won't work, lol :) I do do do do do wish that I was done with work already because each day is seeming so long and I just can't concentrate on what I have going on. Come on girls! we need to start having some excitement going on here! KOLLEEN, looks like you are IT! ha ha....tomorrow is the big day? Woohooo! Then Tina is Wednesday. Did I tell you all my boss predicted Thursday for me? I doubt that's a happenin, but it's fun to think it might, lol. ↑
Name: luckymenm23 | Date: Jun 23rd, 2008 11:27 AM
Thats very true Kendra. i think i will wait to see how big she is first :) ↑
