U.S. Mommies To Be

[Sweet_Mama]

I live about 45 mins from the hospital I plan to deliver
But as I said before I dont have a dr here so im just winging it
Everyone thinks im crazy but there is no way im going to have my lo 5 hours away from where I live. Im paranoid of having lo on highway for that long after birth.
Starting tomorrow im going to my family dr just for blood pressure and urine check. Maybe he can refer me somewhere but I doubt it since im 34w and there is no way I can pay for my visits (unemployed)

Anywho do I look big for 34 w

I feel for you, hun, with the unemployed part. Although I'm technically still working, I will be unemployed just after having the baby when the school year ends. It weighs heavily on my mind that baby will only be a month old when my insurance runs out. I don't blame you for staying closer to home either. I would much rather deliver at the bigger, better hospital in Palm Springs, but I will settle for the one story, rinky-dink place 7 minutes from my house (about 50 minutes from work if I need to go from there).

Oh, and I had an u/s just before I had DD#1 and they said she was 6-6.5 pounds. She was born the next day at 7 pounds even.

totally jealous of Soph now
My baby is measuring big and they're starting to suggest induction or c-section
Measured 9lbs 5oz today I wish I knew labor was coming soon... they won't let me go past my due date, I'm sure of it.
Grrr.

 

[RosieCheeks]

Good luck soph.

Lisa - sorry to hear that. I don't have much advice since I have the opposite problem.

Grrr.

nipple stimulation always works for me. Seriously. Make yourself comfy, get some baby oil or whatever makes your boat float, and wiggle and rub those nipples. Your contractions will be hard and may not start consistently when you stop with the stimulation, but after doing it once or twice I had the baby a day or two later every time. Try it.

 

[lisaf]

well I just did some nipple stimulation and now my tummy feels yucky like it normally does for PMS for me...
Kind of think its too much to hope for it to work that quickly/easily, lol! But hey, time will tell, right?
