My husband is in the military and came home early for his leave, but the baby is no where ready to be born. I don't know what to do. I'm tired of walking especially when I'm 39 wks and it's just so hard and uncomfortable.

Although I still have six weeks to go, my midwife made an appointment with a gyno. to discuss inducing labor early. I've had an annoying case of bronchitis since January, which turned into pneumonia in March. Add to that hormonal depression (I also have to see a psychiatrist), and it's easy to understand why I'd like to have this baby. It's my second, and I want this discomfort to end - the sooner the better.

I had a dr's apt today and last night I tried squatting to get the baby to move down. I sat on the couch then slid down untill I was in a squatting position with my back to the couch for support. At my apt today I was finally dilated to 2 cm so I'm going to try this again tonight.

I am having my 2nd baby, and I am ready for him to come. With my first child I did the whole castor oil thing and it did not work. I was induced when I was 41 weeks with her. Now with my son I tried the castor oil thing and it still has not worked. Currently I am 4 days over my due date, and am really having some difficulties with everything. I hope no one else is experiencing the same problems.

I'm pregnant with my third child and went into the hospital two and a half weeks ago with false labour. They took an ultra sound and said the baby was already 7 lbs. I wanted the doctor to break my water but I guess in Alberta it's a provincial law that they are not allowedd until you're in active labor. I just want to have this baby before it's 9lbs.

With my first, I was three weeks early. So I expected this one to be out by now. My next apt is the 11th. I feel like I'm not going to make it to Wednesday! The agony. I can't wait to meet this little one. I have been exhausted all day today. I feel like sleeping untill my baby is born. Maybe I will have an Easter baby:) Here's hoping!
