How much does DTD actually help? I haven't since nov bc of how bad it hurt and now I'm actually scared to. I keep getting told how much it helps w the cervix... just didn't know if it's another myth.

 

[FleurDeMai]

Amour - congratulations!

Gaves - I've no idea how much dtd helps, but sperm contains a good amount of prostaglandin that softens your cervix, so it's not 100% an old wives tale... and I agree with you, it can be painful, but if you take things slow and adjust your positions as you go, you can make it a more comfortable.

Thanks fleur. I know u have been trying it too, lol. Think I may suggest it! Happy 39 weeks!

Congratulations Amour!!

I've been booked for a high risk ultrasound on Thursday to assess baby's growth. Just when I thought I was home-free. I can't wait to see baby again though.

Lots of Braxton hicks all the time now.

 

[Starry Night]

Phantom - good luck with your scan and hope all is well with baby. Enjoy seeing her again.

afm - got a terrible charlie horse yesterday morning and my leg is still sore and tight. My other leg feels like it's on the verge of a charlie horse as well. I've gotten them quite a few times while not pregnant but I seem more prone to them now.

Otherwise, trying to get things ready. I keep getting overtired and sore from everyday chores so my baby-related projects keep getting pushed back. The gear has all been washed though. But I need to thoroughly clean our room so I can set up the bassinet.

Baby boy born today, after the longest induction ever I only labored for 5 hours from 3 cm to delivered. Some of the most painful hours of my life, but he's here and he's perfect! 8lbs 12 oz 20 inches long!

Today my baby is coming out.. I have two huge mugs of raspberry left tea, I'm making curry as we speak, taking Ava for a huge walk after school.. I'm a mess, I'm emotional, I cried the whole way during obem, because they had their babies and I didn't I'm a monster

 

[nic18]

Hannah! I'm the exact same, making curry for dinner, sitting on my ball instead of the couch taking the dog out a walk !couldn't even watch OBEM because I'd cry with them having babies ! I usually cry when they get handed their baby but now I cry cause I wish it was me !

 

[emalou90]

Hannah you silly billy.
You can rub it in my face when you have your baby and mines still stuck inside to make yourself feel good!

 

[HannahGraceee]

Hahah! Ema, you say that, you will probs go before I do

 

[emalou90]

Hahah! Ema, you say that, you will probs go before I do

Only a week between us! Let the race commence

 

[Madrid98]

Congrats stargazer!!!

I must be the only one who wants to wait until 40 weeks then!!

 

[Felix26]

Congratulations stargazer!
2 babies here already, 2 boys too.

I also feel ready for baby to come now, I felt geered up ready because it should have been yesterday with the section, so I feel its a long waiting game, and my regular Braxton hicks have disappeared too.
I'm trying not to labour symptom spot - it did me no good when ttc, surely it can do no good now either. Just going to relax into these last few week just me and oh. Xxxx

 

[Mrs.stefka]

Congratulations, Stargazer!!

Eek! It's happening. Babies will start dropping now!

Hannah/Nic- hope your hard work pays off today

 

[Rosie06]

Clearly false alarm and my body been cruel to me but after 3 half hours of regular pains and tightenings they stopped had a couple for an hour this morning then stopped, wish my body would stop playing tricks on me
