You ladies are so supportive, I love coming on here and reading your comments and what's going on with you. Its so encouraging. I'm still having a rough time, but I've been talking to my husband and my sister about it and they've been very supportive.

We started giving Lilah gripe water, she's been struggling badly with gas pains and spent three hours screaming last night because of it. It seems to be helping. Instead of sucking me dry to fall asleep, she's letting DH rock her to sleep. Its a nice break. He just rocked her to sleep a little while ago and she smiled a couple times and he started crying and said, "she has your smile. I'm screwed." It was so cute.

els my LO is the same way. Very fussy at night and I can finally get her settled about 3. UGH! My 4 year old gets up somewhere between 8-9 so there is no sleep anymore I feel like. Between 3-8/9 my LO gets up every 2 hours. I end up nodding off in the chair while I'm sitting and feeding her. I am definitely ready for some longer sleeping times ... or at the least, for her to settle before 3 am!

Melly I hope everything is ok!! I hope it is nothing and you get healed back up.

Brieri that is precious! It is those small moments that get you through the hard parts.

I'm so excited for you ladies left! Just a few more and all our little jellybeans will be here!!

Oh man ... DH needs to lay off! I was in the shower and he jumped in with me ... um raring to go ...

I told him that was not fair to go showing that off when I was trying to heal all the way up. First time around we got back at it before the 6 week check up and it hurt something awful. I'd like to heal as much as possible but if he is going to be all like that, it sure will be difficult!

Question... I'm 38 weeks 6 days. I'm 1.5 cm and ~ 80% effaced or more now as of Wednesday. I'm having a lot sharp shooting pain on my cervix which iv been having off and on for weeks but tonight a lot more. Also menstrual like cramping low and down into my legs. Did anyone else have this? I hope it means labor is around the corner

I got those shooting pains and cramps more and more the closer I got to having her. I hope this means good news for you!!

I've managed to get the baby to start moving now (probably silly for trying given that it's the middle of the night!), but it had been a good 10 hours with very little action. Though I've been having a lot of BH which perhaps makes it difficult to tell? I'm gettin BH again just this second & she has stopped moving, but I can still feel she has hiccups. Is it just that they can't move during BH, or should I be worried?

My little guy is sleeping for longer periods but his active phases are crazy and painful. I might only feel him a couple of times a day now but when I do he will move around for like an hour and feel like he is trying to bust out.

Thanks Darkstar! I guess it is normal then. She was pretty active in the early hours of the morning & it was really uncomfortable. I feel like everything is so squashed now & if she moves into an awkward position, it hurts! No notable movement in the last few hours, but I'll try & look out for it more today & make a note. My ribs are killing me, which is weird as they only started to get bad after she dropped down!?

BlossomJ · Jan 19th, 2013, 05:21 AM

I never got to the point is feeling like this before being induced with DS, so it's all new!

Does anyone know if it's ok to still drink raspberry leaf tea after birth? I assume so? Hope so as I like it
