[fides]

Kristin arrived at 620. 6 lb 13 Oz. 20 inches. Great labor!

congratulations, and glad labor went well!

Happy due date to me

happy EDD!

happy due date! Mine's this Thursday and no signs...

happy EDD b/c i'm hoping not to still be around by Thursday...


afm, EDD +13 today... why is it that if a baby comes almost 2 weeks early, that's completely natural, but if you get close to 2 weeks late, everyone treats you like something is wrong?! ugh.

You won't believe this, but someone JUST told me "at this point, I don't think that baby is coming on his own." I was like, hello, I'm only 2 days over!! I feel like everyone is pitying me and I don't like that. And if it's this bad now, I can't imagine at +13. Are you hibernating to avoid everyone??? I find myself not wanting to answer the phone or e-mails because it just makes me mad.

I thought the days leading up to due date were hardest emotionally for some reason.

especially when everyone keeps asking. i am ignoring questions on FB, email and elsewhere now. Trying to make the best of it and getting as much rest as i still can

Yes!! Well, the questions are actually getting worse now, even though I personally feel better about it. My being late appears to be distressing to everyone else.

 

[wtt :)]

Let them be stressed and avoid them for your own good

i know what you mean about how people react to being overdue...grr..

i really hope things move along for you all soon tho! xxx

Thats so mean to do that to you. Hope you get some sleep. At least if something is wrong they can do something about it. It wont be anything too bad or they would have told you straight away and got you to go into hospital Im sure.

Congrats to all who've had wonderful news

Well, I am delighted to announce the safe arrival of my absolutely gorgeous son, Ioan James Rees born 11.11.11 at 02.57 and weighing in at a gigantic 9lbs 13oz (I knew those growth scans weren't wrong!!!). Fortunately, I did not need the section and I am absolutely loving being a mummy.

Good luck who have it all still to come and hang in there - it will be worth every second xxxx

I attempted to do perineal massage once when I was about 34 weeks. It felt too weird (also soft and mushy etc), so different to how I remembered that I got freaked and decided to rather not bother. I think it's all normal changes that go with pg.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Congrats Tish, he's gorgeous!

copied from my journal - today's appointment:

sooo, 2 days until the due date and she knows i don't want to be induced unless necessary so she did do a sweep (didn't hurt much but omg a shitload of pressure!! - felt like a person was crawling inside me from down there!!!)
Anyway, she said that if it did something, i should be going into labor within the next 24 hrs. If not, we have an appointment along with an ultrasound booked for next Monday (hopefully we won't need that ) to check the fluids and placenta condition, etc. I said i will make my decision about being induced after that ultrasound if i even make it that far because once we know more, i can base my decision on that about being induced and when, if.
Baby is all happy in there and still -3. i'm 50-60% effaced, still 2 something cms dilated and the cervix is soft so really, i should be able to go into labor naturally within the next week. Fingers crossed!! Come on, Boy! I know it's cozy in there but it's time to explore the world!!
Btw, he is very happy in there still and is measuring 40 weeks today so two days ahead but she thinks he's still under 8lbs. I sure hope so! LOL

Ok, for anyone who would like to know my link to my parenting journal (including birth story) and Kristin's Facebook picture album have been added to my signature. Kristin is having a nice long nap in her swing after her first bath at home today.

Wow, congrats on the big baby Tish! Kristin was only 6 and 13 ounces and had to have an episiotomy and she still gave me a tear. The doctor said I can't have a bigger baby after having so much trouble getting her out.
