No, still here.
Although, it will probably be this week due to medical issues my doc wants to induce.
I am just like you, going through periods of BH, periods of more intense contractions and then nothing.
I have been bouncing on a ball and walking and taking my EPO, so I hope it is helping!!
i have a ball - is bouncing supposed to help? i can bounce!
i've been debating the EPO but feel like i should wait on it until i hit my due date - what are your thoughts? are you doing it both orally and vaginally or just orally? and where were you able to get it?
oh i hope you can avoid induction!! am i making up that you haven't had internals either so don't know where you'd be starting from for induction yet? have they given you a deadline?
come on babies!!! it's a bright beautiful world out here!!!!

Bouncing and hip rocking on the ball is supposed to be helpful in getting the baby to drop, or so I have heard. If anything, it is giving me relief.
The EPO just ripens the cervix and it is recommended to start after 37 weeks because it does it slowly over time. But I didn't start until last week. I am just doing orally 1000 mg 3 times a day. I got it at GNC. You need vitamin E to uptake it, but my prenatal has pelnty so I didn't add any.
No deadline other than vaguely it will be this week. I go in today and we will see from there.
As of last week, my cervix is favorable and soft with 1cm dilation and 50% effacement. Hopefully my extras this week have helped.
I hope to avoid induction as well, but I trust my doc and will do what I need if there is a medical reason. I am pretty zen about it now!
okay well i feel like if baby lyte drops much further she's just gonna fall on out.. lol!!
i wonder if i should bother hunting down some EPO at this point.. i started drinking the earth mama angel baby third trimester tea sometime last week which has red raspberry leaf as the first ingredient - prob not quite as effective as plain RRL but the best i could find without ordering. and i haven't been checked yet so have no clue at all where i'm at - i plan to wait to see if i hit my due date and then we'll take a look and see where things are at..
well keep us posted on how today's appt goes! i hope if nothing else that your extras have made you some progress and that either way you have a baby in your arms soon! i also just somehow noticed that you're team green and so now i'm also dying to know WHAT you're having! :-D
