Went on a walk, had sex, ate pineapple, sitting on the yoga ball, drinking RRL tea. Sigh. I'm going to be a hot mess when (probably not if) I go past my due date next week. I wish I could sit on the couch, but even that's uncomfortable
Yup on the couch with feet up after walking the mall with DH and going to a movie. I thought maybe Murphy's Law would kick in and after buying a ticket for a 2 1/2 hour movie my water would break 15 minutes into it. Yeah not so much!
Sitting on the couch and eating half a pint of Ben and Jerry's. I'm torn between wanting to go into labor right now and being done, and just waiting for my c-section on Friday because that would be more convenient as far as childcare for my LO. But it's not like it's up to me either way.
Sex, nipple stim, 2 entire pineapples, spicy food, long walks with my dog, working as a nurse 40+ hrs/week, & membrane sweeping = no baby for me. I think I'll be pregnant forever.
Me. 40.1 today. Spent all of last night in the hospital having regular contractions. They said I'm in the early stages of labor and would be more comfortable at home. Have had regular contractions all day for the most part and nothing more happening. I'm so done.
Me. Had an appt today, got sent to L&D for monitoring, then sent home. Ate spicy chicken for lunch, sat on bouncy ball, 'took care' of myself seeing as DH is at work (does that even help/work???), trying to think of something spicy for dinner tonight....
Pick me too! 39.1 with my 3rd.. Everyone said I'd go early.. Lots of pressure, but not powerful enough contractions...) : still working, and hating it! Wish I had more to keep me busy and keep my mind off of waiting!! Hang in there friends, they all have to come out sometime!! Just want her here so I can stop having nightmares about her coming out a boy! / :
@jennbaylor12 order a pizza with jalapeños. That's what we had for dinner (it isn't working for me but might work for you...but we eat spicy al the time so maybe I'm immune)
Ooh, yum! What a contradiction eating spicy for labor vs avoiding for hb :-/ DH and I love spicy so I don't know if I'll be immune either but am willing to try!!
Sitting on the couch here as well. LO all cramped in here moving around a lot. I haven't started any tricks to speed labor yet. I'm eating Cadbury mini eggs too! I'm about to make a bowl of chocolate ice cream in a few mins.
March Siggy Challenge .. What I miss the most during pregnancy
I joined in and ate some mini eggs too!! Seems to be the food of the moment on here I've been having sucky sucky practice contractions that are painful but have no pattern since Friday..... It's getting beyond a joke and I'm struggling to get any rest in!! Resulted in a break down this morning so me spending the day going back and forth between the sofa and bed snoozing!! Also eating the entire bag of mini eggs and they were goooooooood so I just don't care I will be a better prego tomorrow and attempt some getting baby out tricks - today I needed my rest!!
I don't want to try any induction methods. I just want to sleep. But I'm having 'just kidding' contractions and have been for hours. Nothing is getting more painful or closer together. It's just enough to make me mad and keep me from sleeping. And DH is being a butthead for no reason.
All of this for me, right down to the butthead husband part!
I thought you were going to tell us how tired you are and therefore must be in labor...me, sitting getting my hair done...with what feels like 10 pound bowling ball inside...
soo, my body proved me wrong. i won't be pregnant forever. i'm actually in labor. forever.
i've been contracting since last night. first one around 3:30pm. still early labor. Let me just say how much this sucks. this is my 3rd baby. my second was 8 hours start to finish.
I've rested, taken a bath, going to see my chiro again in an hour. Hoping my midwife will come over after to check on me.

Ps. All of the labor inducing techniques sound like they require effort. Sex?! Nipple stimulation?!
