Nanner its crazy how once you hold a little baby you just feel this flood of unconditional love. I noticed it when holding my newborn niece last August I can only imagine what it will feel like when I finally get to hold my little baby.
Singers I dont think youre a wimp at all. Really I dont think Id be very productive at home if I did take of earlier and Id just get more impatient for the baby plus I really want to get as much $$ as possible before the little one arrives. The yoga/work out ball may not necessarily bring on labour but it can help them get their head engaged and pushing on the cervix I did notice a difference when I bounce on it or do like hip circles. I was reading about ways to get the baby in optimal position you could try spending some time on all fours, that can help turn a baby from back to back.
Ive discovered it is so much easier to get up off of then the couch. Sometimes my pelvis hurts too much that getting off the couch is impossible. Hee hee
Good luck with the birthing pool hope you guys find what youre looking for. I think a tankini type top might be nice and warm?
Congrats on your OHs job, that sounds fantastic!! Your MIL sounds like she didnt want to ever put her baby down. Ive watched my sister raise her three kids and helped as nanny myself for her first child, you can totally get things done. They do not need to be attached to your hip or tit all the time. Babies need some independence too.
Swan - thanks for the insight on BFing, it's good hearing various experiences and opinions.
Mazzy ooooh sounds fun good luck. My hubby brought up the fact that well need to buy condoms again in the near future.. dang.. Im not looking forward to that.
Poppie Glad the BP is coming down, sorry about the side effects. You just have to make it a couple more weeks
Like Singers, Im scared of thinking about a c-section *shudders* I think being a brass instrument player Im like super protective of my abdomen muscles.. I dont want them to have to be cut. Laproscopic surgery last year was adventure enough. But lets hope everything goes okay and nobody will be needing an emergency c-section.
AFM baby is feeling a lot lower today. We were doing some shopping yesterday evening and I felt a lot more pressure on my cervix while walking, lets hope there is some dialation happening. Its weird that the baby is even bigger now but the movements have been hurting a lot less lately. (yay!) and theyve kind of slowed down a little. Maybe Im getting closer and closer.
My sister gave me some optimistic advice yesterday, with her 1st she went from 0cm dilated to water breaking and full labour. (completely opposite of her last where she was 4cm dilated for a week and went overdue).
Tonight is my final brass band concert so since there is no baby yet looks like Ill be playing. Lol should be fun.
I also hope Dinah's doing okay. *fingers crossed*
