I would love to have a labor buddy! I don't have a great track record for delivery. I was induced with all three of my boys due to excessive swelling & size of the baby. My first child was 8 pounds, 3 ounces at 36 weeks, 4 days. My second was 10 pounds at 39 weeks & my third was 9 pounds, 14 ounces at 38 weeks. All were vaginal births (OUCH!) and none of them went very well. This was the reason I had planned to get out of the "birthing business". Anyway, I'm already anxious about the delivery of #4 and could really use a buddy (besides poor DH...he tries, bless his heart).
Side note...I have complete faith in my midwife, doctor's group, & delivery hospital. All have been faithful & wonderful despite my delivery of LARGE babies (all of whom were born "sunny side up").
Re: Anyone else due in July??
The weekly update has everyone's due dates (or approximate as the case may be!).
I'm sure there are a few ladies, even those due later in the year that would be happy to keep tabs on things for the rest of us.
I don't actually have a labor buddy so If I vanish for a week or so, good chance we went earlier than expected LOL
First, of all .. I bow to you for pushing out 3 big babies .. you the woman! lol
I'm due July 17th.
I'm due July 6...and don't have a labor buddy either!
Me either .. how's does being a Labor Buddy work?
Your kids are way too cute! No wonder you keep having kids! I am due in July (7), but this will be a first kiddo for me. I am so excited, lost and unexperienced with my 37 years of age:)
Hi!
I am also due in July...the 11th to be exact. I don't post often, but I am here and read almost daily. I have a history much like yours. My three youngest children were all big babies. they induced me 2 weeks early with all of them. They were 8lbs 4oz, 7lbs 13oz, and 9lbs. I am hoping that my OB will induce me early with this little guy as well. 9 lbs was big enough for me! I just had my 5th ultrasound today and he is measuring big already
