    I'm curious about this too.  My doctor told me that the healthiest babies are born at 39 weeks but he tried to induce me early this week??  I said no because of what I've been reading here.  I'm kinda confused because do I believe my doctor or my friends in the computer? 

    ETA: His reasoning being that he is concerned about the size of the baby.  Yet I read that his tests could be 1-2 pounds off and baby could be smaller?
    You know how I feel about those size of the baby estimates!  Unless you've been getting routine growth ultrasounds and they've been able to track over time (and it's been the same person performing the scan each time), I feel like the measurements are less likely to be accurate and not a good reason to induce early.  I *believe* the ACOG guidelines on inductions due to fetal macrosomia are for women with GD who are anticipated to have about 9-9.5+ lb babies or women without GD who are anticipated to have 11lb+ babies.
    No routine growth ultrasounds.  Doctor says his guess on baby's size is 9 plus pounds.  He suggested the early induction and I said let's wait a little longer.  I go back Thursday so we will see.  I guess it's all moot until I see how my cervix is progressing then.  Doesn't stop me from worrying like a mad woman though!
    @duckr, how did he determine the baby's size? Through ultrasound or fundal measurements? Even if he used an ultrasound, those measurements can be off by 1lb either way.
    Ultrasound. So, that's why I'm not sure what to do because I know those can be off.  I've convinced the doctor to delay induction to 39 weeks 5 days which is better than what he was originally proposing (around 38 weeks).

    There is a woman here with a newborn, an 18 month old, a 5 yr old and about a 7yr old. The two older kids are beating the crap out of each other happily with blocks. The mom is pretending not to notice. I don't know how she does it, I'd be 100% BSC by now if in her shoes. Also, one of the kids just stomped on my foot while chasing the other one.
    I would have said something when the kid stomped on my foot. Is that not cool? I'm not a mom yet, I don't know the code. I would have said "excuse me, you just stepped on my foot." Not like, "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE, CONTROL YER KIDS" or anything. Just to check to see if the kid would apologize........juuuuuuust to see.
    Nope. You usually just let that shit go. You also never know how the parent will react if you say something to their kid. Not a chance I want to take.
    Good to know...although I can totally see me saying an exaggerated OOOOOW anyway. I feel like I'd want to know if my kid is being an asshole, so I can tell them "stop being an asshole and apologize for being an asshole." Sadly, I believe I am not in the norm.

    Most people want their kids to be assholes around here, as evidenced by the number of women ignoring their children in the electronic department of Wal*mart at 1am (when I used to work 2nd shift, I'd go that late to get groceries to avoid people). I understand there are emergencies where you must take your child with you to Wal*Mart at night (medicine, food, etc.), and not everyone has someone to watch their kids. But in the electronic department? With that child screaming 2 aisles away from you while you play on your phone? I judge it, and I'm aware that by doing so, I will end up being that mother.

    Oooh question for you photo savvy people. My friend from middle school is flying in this weekend for my baby shower and would like to take some maternity photos for us. 

    I looooved working downtown and I enjoy the Houston downtown area. There is a big park, so I think we will go there for photos. 

    Our professional maternity photos were going to be out by where we live and rustic-y. I had planned on wearing tights, a dress, riding boots and a scarf for those. (Our photog canceled and we can't get back with her until I'm 38.5 weeks. Oooph.)

    What type of outfit would look good in a more metro setting? Or can I wear the same thing?

    I'm still alive and no labor.  I'm just feeling very blah, so not so chatty.

    FFTC: I really dislike the phrase "butt hurt" and how ubiquitous it is on TB. I understand that is a useful term but it sounds so juvenile (bc I'm sooo sophisticated)

    I finally want to TP my husband. I feel like every damn day he texts me about another black tie event or party in December, and it's really pissing me off because regardless of what he says, I think he has an expectation that we are going to attend all these damn functions.  This time he even included, "At least I already have a tux!".  Yeah, that's great buddy, but let's not be too quick to think you're going to be wearing it this party season.....  I don't even want to think about putting a gown on 6 weeks post partum.

    I totally get that I may change my mind and want to go out and party, but right now when I hear these things it just frustrates me to no end.
    It is times like these I am happy to be a "country bumpkin" compared to you!  I do not have any black tie events in the next 10 years much less 3 months! (unless you count Mardi Gras Balls , but we all know that everyone is so drink it doesn't actually matter how one looks ;) )

    I could seriously TP the husband right now. We did a little bit of grocery shopping today, when we got home he was putting away groceries and I told him to look through the bags and put the fridge stuff away, leave the rest so I could organize the pantry. I just got around to doing that and what do I find? The hamburger meat for our tacos tonight. We got home at 12:30, it's been sitting out this whole time. X(
    Aw! Sorry! you were so excited with your taco bell meal kit too!!!
    :(

    We're really not exciting people. ;)  The party that was just added is his friggon work holiday party.  Why the hell do they have to have a black tie function?  People get dressed up for my company's, but it's absolutely not the norm.  Ughhhh........

    WAT?!?!

    I love DMB!  Well, I love their old songs.  Which is approximately 100% of the reason I went to any concerts.

    I love DMB too! I saw him once here in Seattle hanging out a popular lake/park with his family and I wanted to be like DAAAAAAVE! But I restrained myself.

    Some notch just said to me the dreaded, "Big baby in there!" which led me to the googles, where I found out that the biggest baby birthed vaginally was 23 lbs. So there's that!

    OMG STAHP IT
    Imma beat that record.

    My DH deserves all the TPs any one could throw. I have been rethinking why I have stayed this long. And it's hard. At least I have all these threads to read, to keep my mind off how big of an unsupportive a-hole he has been. He didn't come in till all most midnight last night. He has been straying since I have been gaining weight. And even said "now that your pregnant the reality of looks fading has become a reality" I'm taking it as he was only ever with me becuase he thought I was pretty. I swear I have more to bring to the table than that. Guessing he isn't coming home again. He took clothes with him. I'm lost. I just want my mom. I know I'm pathetic.

    @TicketTuesday‌ I can be your labor buddy too! My awesome LB already had her baby so I don't mind standing watch for you. When are you due?

    Oct. 19, pretty sure we have the same due date don't we? Haha.

    I'm sure I'll end up posting for myself anyway since for me that's nearly as easy as sending a text, BUT can I call you my LB anyway? :x
    Haha...yup. Same due date. Of course, I'd love to be your psuedo LB!

    This has been me all damn day.  I can't stay awake and I just can't give a shit either.

    Also, my whole lower half feels like the worst day of my period.  I'd rather have the annoying contractions back.

    I've been having my own personal 'Supernatual' marathon today. :D

    I'm seriously starting to miss working everyday but at the same time I know I would be bugging out at work.

    My insomnia is seriously getting real and so is my umm 'dropping the kids off at the pool' time.

    Uggg. Is it 7:30 yet? I can't wait to put my kids to bed - DH is gone and they are driving me nuts! Why did DD learn to tell time? 35 minutes to peace and quiet.
