Baby peanut happy where he/she is

Have you tried brisk walking? I know you are probablly uncomfortable, but if you get in a good walk every day it WILL help move things along. I went to the mall every day and just walked and walked until I could not walk anymore. It was not comfortable but it worked and it got me enough dialated and thinned that when I was induced, it went pretty quick and easy.

Try walking briskly. Every day. Walk even though it's not the most comfortable thing in the world.

Good luck and hang in there

Sparks, I did every trick in the book, even some that I can't mention on this public board, and still my baby would not come! That baby is going to come when it is ready, or when your doctor says "enough is enough". I think I might have qualified as dialated one centimeter when they finally said it was time to make that baby come!

It was a long time ago, almost 17 years, but it was winter and we (the USA) were in the throws of Desert Storm. I always figured that my baby (my Helen) was happier in "there", than out here. But two weeks after my due date, they finally induced my labor, broke my water, and 12 hours later, I had my girl! She is not one to be late, in real life, thank goodness.

I wish you all the patience in the world. I had my calendar all set for that Jan. 15 due date, then had to start counting the other way! My one and only finally arrived on Jan. 29, at 5:50 pm. I think that she would probably still be in there had they not made her come! She was 8 lbs, 5 oz, and to this day, she is perfect in every way. Your baby will be too.

Hey Sparks....any news this morning???

I feel for you, both of mine were early.

Well I lost my "plug" this morning.... although that doesn't nessecarily mean anything I will choose to be optimistic and see it as a sign that things are happening LOL

[caseysmom]

That could be a good sign, any sensations?

Not really. I have apparently been having some contractions where my stomach gets really hard but no pain or discomfort really along with it. and I have been having those for a little while and there is no pattern with them yet.

Oooh! Good Luck!!! Lydia was born 36 hours after losing my plug (tmi?? ) .... so really you could be in the final countdown!!! Best of luck for an easy labor!!!
