Am I in labor?

mrsdanielleM2010

JK. How the EFFFFF would you guys know? Are you going to magically monitor my contractions and check for dilation via the screen?

Ps the answer is no.

but why didn't you make it an "ask a question" type post?? that would make it even better. then you can accept random answers and make them all out of order.

AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES.

I considered that and also a poll. I regret not choosing poll.

I'm officially past the point where the doctor would stop my labor. Is it now ok to start wishing he would come, or am I obliged to wait until like 38 weeks?

a clicky poll would definitely have been the way to go. it's not too late. fillllll the board with posts about being in labor!

hmmm. i think you have to wait until october. )  i crack myself up.

What the heck, you mean you guys aren't going to tell me when I'm in labor? That's the only reason I've been talking to you guys for all this time.

I saw this on mobile and was ready to come in with guns a blazin'. @mrsdanielleM2010‌ you have no idea how happy I was that it was you lol.

And as for the belly button thing...I have way too much padding for my belly button to ever be an outie. This kid would be 30 by the time my timer would pop.

I plan on just purchasing a tent and camping out outside of the hospital, crazy Black Friday style. That way, should you ladies fail to alert me that I am, in fact, in labor (because I'm not even going to ask - I'm just going to assume you all will know) I won't be too far away when he starts crowning.

I've heard if you mix it with baking soda and it fizzes you are in labor. 

Maybe that was for the sex of the baby. Doesn't hurt to try. 

and then pour it over dandelion leaves. it's the most foolproof method out there.

I already tried tying my wedding ring to a string and dangling it above my stomach, but all it told me was I was an idiot.

I think we should start charging rando's copays to answer their questions! I mean shit obviously they think we are doctors or something. They can send money to my paypal account and I'll answer their questions.

My only problem with this is that I know someone will want me to check and see if they are dilated. Not sure how I would have to do that over the internet, but I wouldn't put it past them to come up with some idea.

I'm still trying to find a good magic eight ball gif to answer these questions. In the meantime I came across this. Thought it was funny.

 

I would totally hire that midhusband. He understands.

I'm sure there's an app for that. If not then we just came up with your new buisness. 

I'm gonna be sooo rich. I think I could get people to pee on their phone by telling them my "app" could test it for amniotic fluid. Just saying.

I thought labor buddies were to tell you when you are in labor. Didn't realize I would have to figure it out!

nooooo! Don't you know you're supposed to put your undies in a plastic ziploc bag, nuke it for a minute or two, and then take a sniff of your steamy underwear.

Well how can we possibly know if you are in labor if you haven't asked if you have lost your mucous plug?? Go examine the toilet and report back with what you see.

Good post by the way I was like really another one...

I literally just gagged.

I was thinking this was going to a flashback to week 12 with all those U/S pictures and "is it a boy or girl?" Thanks for the laugh.

I've made my decision to respond to all these types of posts with that's so raven gifs from here on out. Pretty proud of myself.

I'm canceling my insurance today - who needs doctors when I've got you bishes?

It's been a fun ride from "OMG, am I pregnant" on the ttc board to "am I in labor" here! 

kaleb87

I think we should summons the August board and ask if when someone post am I in labor if we can just give a referral to their board. They are in the midst of labor they'd know better, and it'd eliminate a bunch of randoms that don't realize majority of us won't deliver until September.

Just wait.  DS's BMB was slammed with random posts the last month or so leading up to due dates.  We had a girl who's MIL checked her for dilation (and wasn't a doctor), people who ask if their dogs/cats can smell labor coming on, and all the "why haven't I had my baby yet" posts from women who were only 37 or 38 weeks along.

It's a bit annoying, for sure, but it also gets rather entertaining...

I thought that you just waited until the baby fell out of your vagina hole.  That's what I was told.  )
