I doubt you get naked for acupressure... I did have to wear loose/stretchy/comfy clothes for my acupuncture appointments.. sometimes we just did work on my back/hip etc, or sometimes on my lower abdomen..
 
JNA, I had to ask my doctor to check me at my last appointment or I wouldn't have had a check either. I even asked about a sweep and he said no, but did say he would this week... I just realized though that I made the appmt with the NP and not the OB so I'll have to call and see if I can move it to Thursday, hmmmm... My OB is not on call any weekend for the rest of the month either. Oh well.

No, I do not think she's coming early... I think I was just very stressed out at work and now I'm a bit more relaxed since being home and she's gotten herself all comfortable in there. It's okay. I have a wonderful long-term sub in there right now that I trust and a meeting to be at today and anytime after that she's welcome to do as she pleases. I would just like to request NOT going OVERdue, you know. 38 weeks today, woo-hoo.
 
yes Sweet, I totally understand not wanting to go overdue!
I was overdue with my 1st 2 daughters and it was horrible!
I'm praying that this one wants to be on time! :)
 
I really don't want to go overdue but I'm mentally preparing myself to go to 41 weeks just in case.
 
Didn't have to get naked hehe. I really had no clue what to expect. Session went well. We went over the hour (my best friends aunt did the session) and I was in heaven. Having a couple BH but nothing major just lots of pressure.

Lucky heres some baby dust :dust::dust::dust::dust::dust:

SweetMama :happydance: for 38 weeks Im right behind you lol

O yeah dr did offer to induce on due date but idk. Not really into the drug thing plus I heard it hurts like hell (thanks mom)

Lisa love the profile pic how is Daniel sleeping at night/day. Have you hadd time to rest or get a schedule :flower:
 
lol, a schedule is apparently a joke at this stage.. he has good days and not-so-good days. I have it VERY lucky though.. he's not a frequent feeder and he does mostly sleep well. Its just tough when I don't know if he's going to stay awake for the next feed or if he's going to pass out and give me a break. So if I plan on taking a nap after the next feed then he decides to be fussy instead of sleeping, I get screwed.

the birthing ball helps him doze off if he's too worked up to sleep..

I'll admit I kind of miss being pregnant.. it was just easier :haha:
 
Thanks JNA! Think I need as much dust as I can get haha. I'm not much into the thought of induction either. My expereince last time wasn't pleasant but everyone's labors are so different so you never know how it will go.

Hope you get some sleep tonight Lisa.
 
Lisa- rosie had some really gassy days at first!! Then there is the 10day/2week growth spurt (rosie didn't sleep and never stopped eating) then the 3 week growth spurt- slept a lot but ate non stop too. Finally calming down on feeds I think.

Good luck and lots of labor dust ladies!!!
 
Just got the news that I am being induced on Monday morning at 5 am because of iugr. I hope everything goes smoothly!

Oh, hun, sorry about the induction, but with IUGR it's' best she comes out sooner. I'm sure she'll be perfect and lovely. Good luck and big hugs.
 
Good luck Rosie!!! hope it's not too rough on you and all goes smoothly.

Watching DH trying to get Rosie to sleep. She's fighting it sooo hard! We got to have a "date night" or something like it. Ended up nothaving time before hte movie to get food at a restraunt so we got some fast food and then headed to the movies. Saw THOR and it was pretty good. Some REALLY funny parts. MIL watched Rosie for us- didn't listen to my feeding schedule but she was fine and ended up having some milk left over which is always good.
 
Good Luck Rosie! :flower:

Lisa Good thing he doesn't try to eat you dry. You are lucky because you have good days and he isnt even 2 weeks yet :rofl:

Heyyady how are the girls?

MissFox sorry your date night didnt go as planned but at least you got out :). Are you still bfing?

Having contractions but they don hurt just aggravating. They started about 4:30 and have not stopped minus and 20 minute walk I took. Wish I knew what to do to up contractions. Probably wont go to l&d till they hurt. Acupressure may have really worked lol :happydance:
 
Sorry about the induction.
But it is better for the baby.
Try to rest up this weekend. Good luck!
 
Finally got her to sleep= weird though, she went a week or so sleeping at least 7 hours and 8.5 one night- but now she's been up the last 2 nights at 3:30 to eat. I miss making it to 5:30 or 6:30 lol. Oh well, she probably just needs more food.

JNA- yes, I'm still BFing. It's been so easy for me and now that my nipple issues are gone (no more crack YAY!) I don't have any reason to think to stop (except work coming up in a couple weeks - only one day a week to start though). I pumped a couple bottles to leave with Rosie since I knew she wouldn't make it 3 hours without eating. It's great when she sleeps so long and skips that feed- I wake up and start pumping. The other day I got 5.5oz and still had enough left in my boobs tofeed her. I don't usually get very much when I pump though so it's hard to just pump and give a bottle. I need to try my electric pump- I might get more out of it than my hand pump?
 
You've mastered bfing lol
I was wondering bc she takes bottle and boob. People had been telling me if I give lo a bottle to soon she may not latch (no one could tell me when to start giving bottle though)

Im going to be the mom who call the lactation soecialist on a daily basis hehe

Glad everything is going well. Sounds like Rosie is at the start of another growth spurt.
 
JNA, I think I waited until around 4 weeks to offer a bottle to my DD. It seemed to be okay for her then after she was already good and used to the breast. It was around 6-7 weeks that she started having a bottle or two of EBM every day while I was at work. I took a long time deciding which nipples to use for her so she wouldn't be as confused. I wanted ones that looked more like breasts, lol. I can't find that kind anymore.
