Done

Gamera3000 · February 2014

I'm 38 weeks today and I'm done. I can't keep carrying him around in there and I now have a very limited capibility for taking care of myself.

I'm doing all the natural self induction things now (except sex because I don't have a dude to sex with). I think all my animals support me in this as they've been super sweet and attentive to me.

My ex says I just just go in and say "cut him out please" but A) I don't want a c-section and

I don't think people at 38 weeks can request them anyway. My next appointment is Tuesday (2/25).

I don't want to use a wheelchair. I SO don't want to use a wheelchair. Nor do I want my ex to have to start helping me in the bathroom and tub.

Cross your fingers for me!

Crossed! Take it easy. Seriously. If i were in your shoes again I'd be sleeping for the next 2 weeks.

Fingers crossed. Have you done Evening Primrose Oil? One of several things that worked well for me.

Fingers crossed, get a pedicure, get a prenatal massage relax as much as possible and try not to worry about to much. Do you have any friends who.can help you out

Pineapple helped me, and I heard spicy foods help too

tig594 · February 2014

Well, do we have a new baby yet??!?!?!?!?!?

Gamera3000 · February 2014

He's still inside but it was a rough night. Yes I've been doing all those things plus castor oil, which has caused what I guess are contractions but then they go away. I feel headachey and nauseous and I haven't been wanting to talk to people today, except my ex. I'm just gonna try to rest and stay hydrated today I guess.

tig594 · February 2014

Well, poop. Hope you feel better. Squeeze in a nap for me!

I did a special protocol my MW's had me start and 2 days later, I had LO. I wish I would have saved the directions to share, but some of it included pumping on each boob for 15 minutes, twice an hour for four hours. If you have a breast pump, try doing that. I didn't do the castor oil thing they wanted me to do, but did do castor oil and rosemary oil belly rubs with a hot towel over top for 15 minutes once every 4 hours. The other things were tinctures and homeopathy tabs. Evening primrose oil I took orally three times a day and then put 2-3 capsules in my vadge before bed and wore a pantiliner. It thinned out my cervix like WHOA.

I know everyone has ideas but I hope these may help or that baby comes soon.

Holy cow! I thought you weren't supposed to pump this early? I read a post around the time I was due that had me cracking up laughing about a lady who tried pumping (she was close to her due date) and all she could say afterwards was ZOMG!!! OOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!

Nipple stimulations? Just rub your nipples what can it hurt

eg214 · February 2014

LMAO @tig594...It wasn't for expressing anything and I only got like 1/4 tsp from one and nothing from the other. It was for nipple stimulation. Easier to do with a pump than to do it with your own hand for 30 minutes in an hour.

tig594 · February 2014

Oh I know. But I think this woman got it stuck to her boob or something. It was a great post.

I think i just died from laughter

eg214 · February 2014

What the hell!?! How do you get it stuck on your boob!?! Crazy.

Gamera3000 · February 2014

Oh Jesus I so don't want anything to ever come out of my boobs. I have changed over to team nothing natural as this pregnancy has progressed.

Okay so I'm being "ripened" Sunday night (ill be 37 on Sunday!) with...clervical? Idk something like that and then they'll induce labor the next day. The maternal/fetal medicine high risk guy said if I get worse hell do it sooner and since my bp was high today if its also high tomorrow hell do it sooner.

I had a "soft" cervix (not dilated) and was partially effaced when they checked me. Not good enough, but progress!

Coincidentally, while we were at the drs BD emailed my ex (they grew up together). He said he's moving to another state an hour and a half away and since he hadnt heard from me could my ex please give him a baby update. He said hell come back to "submit his DNA" after the baby is born. He apologized to my ex for the "awkwardness" and for being crazy while he was drinking.

Because, you know, all you do is walk into your local DNA center and drop off a sample and then they give you a father award. Just like donating plasma.

Little does this Swiss cheese brained moron (who was smart before the drugs) know, we saw his Barney fife car outside of a bar down the street from our house just the other day. It's literally a Mayberry sheriffs office replica car. Pretty unmistakable.

My ex suppressed an urge to reply that he'd like to stab BD in the forehead and were just gonna continue not talking to him.

Current plans are for my ex, my best friend, and my crazy mom to be at the hospital and no one else. Probably just my ex in the delivery room. My ex and friend will take turns looking after my mom so she doesn't wander off and get into anything silly.

Attached a picture of me today. I can't even wear clothes anymore.

MinnesotaMomma91 · February 2014

Your so pretty!

20thirteen · February 2014

I love the pic, I *love* the tattoos! I love your plan, and sarcasm. Your baby is so lucky.

eg214 · February 2014

I'm glad there's an end in sight for you. Fingers crossed and keep us posted!
