...or Saturday night insomnia thread. I-)
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Sunday Randoms
Yesterday I tried stimulating pressure points to induce labor, for fun, while I was watching Netflix. I didn't really believe that it would work, but I actually got a pretty strong contraction after I did it, twice! Weird..!
Basically you massage the web of skin between your thumb and pointer finger, then massage the tips of your fingers, then finally a point above your ankle on each leg.
I'm still a little dubious about how effective it is, but I did have a wave of contraction so... Idk! Let me know if it works for you!
I now have two pillows for my head, memory foam pillow for my stomach to rest on, and two pillows for my legs. For heaven's sake.. Nobody should require a five-pillow ensemble to fucking sleep..

@VioletGjoni- I had this issue, also. Zoe nursed really good in the beginning and I literally had almost no issues, and then it's like.. she forgot how. We struggled with huge latching issues (which caused a lot of pain on my end, and a lot of screaming on hers). I have no advice because I stopped bf'ing, it was just too much for me. But please don't feel guilty over anything you do. Mom guilt is no joke, but try to remember your baby is being fed. You certainly aren't the first to supplement
Sorry everyone is having a crap time sleeping!
Good luck to you and great job doing what is best for you baby! What a great momma you are!
But I sure do miss my silly, little friends!
@nursesouder - glad your shower was a success! Have fun with your nursery today!
Baby dropped, but I am still getting feet/toes/kicks to my lower ribs and it is KILLER. That woke me up, and DH is at it again with his lovely snoring, so I doubt I'll be able to go back to bed. Probably taking DD to go see Santa today and run a few errands to tie up loose Christmas present ends. Dreading my 3 in a row at work starting tomorrow night. DH swears it's going to cause me to go into labor. We shall see! Dr. appt in the AM though. Maybe I'll be too dilated to work
Ditto
Today is going to consist of cleaning car (inside and out) installing car seat, cleaning house and packing hospital bag once I decide what I need/want since my stay will be 3-4 days. After the ammusing "hospital bag threads", I think I'm set on ideas between booze booze, pam spray, booze and emu oil :-P oh and more booze?
Fiance thinks DD is going to come tomorrow and wants her to(it will be his dads bday, his dad passed away) because of contractions and mucus plug loss. I keep telling him No she has to bake for at least one more week. The longer the better. But it is like talking to a brick wall of course.
Yes, this is too early and trying to self induce now seems very selfish. 37 weeks is not full term.
---- quote fail----
Yikes, I phrased that a little too jokingly! Don't worry, I'm not trying to give birth now. Hoping she stays put till 39-40 weeks.
(I just saw the acupressure link and was like, "this is probably BS", and then it actually gave me a cramp. I only did it twice though- the second time to see if I imagined it. Then I stopped!)
I do feel like, "here we go..!"now that I'm past 37 weeks though
Idk why it bothered me so much. She says stuff like that all the time and I know she's not trying to be hateful. She's just not terribly bright and doesn't think before she speaks.
I'm just a big pregnant bitch. That's probably partly why it bothers me.
On another note...a Bloody Mary sounds amazing!
