Raspberry leaf tea is tea made from raspberry leaves. It's supposed to tone the uterus, so that the contractions in the 2nd stage of labor are more effective; therefore, shortening your labor.
As for head down. I generally can just tell from kicks and bump position, but I just did a quick internal (hence in the shower) to see if I could feel his head down near my cervix. Basically it'll feel hard and round. I think because I've done this before I'm more aware of what's going on.
oops it didnt bring me to this last pg...anyways, i couldnt find it at any grocery store. ended up getting it from a proper health store in the mall.
and what is this sex yous are speaking of ??
Didn't know this thread existed!
I'm due Feb. 11th...
can't believe we can almost say we're "due next month". Time is flying!
Was at the doc's today for a bumped up growth scan. Since I haven't gained the "desired" amount of weight, doctor wanted to make sure baby was growing well. She's perfectly average! Thankful Christmas is coming to take my mind off some of the anticipation!
As much as I want baby to be here at 38 or 39, I could really use the extra time to get settled/set up. I won't be stopping work until 38 weeks and my roommate wont be moving out of baby's room until like 35/6 weeks so we don't even have a nursery yet!
I feel like because I could use the extra time she's going to show up early anyways. Hah.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Can't believe I only have 39 more days to go!
