So my little or should I say big Messiah is finally here. Born on my due date 7/26!! I'm so freaking happy!! I though he would never come!! So things I did to speed up labor. Went in on Friday the 24th and got membranes stripped and put evening primrose inside st night. Walked twice a day the whole week totaling 2 miles each day. Before I had them stripped I was closed. Well the next day went into labor around 12pm and got to hospital was 5cm dilated. Long story short. Those 3 methods worked for me! I'm in love with my 10lb baby. Had him natural no epidural!!!! Whew and ended up with no stitches needed!!! And I can't upload my pic for some reason :-S
My other kids were 8 pounds but this baby was 10 and I absolutely LOVE the extra chunk! Although all the gender neutral newborn clothes I bought went unused... LOL
Congrats, mama!

I had my ds July 22nd - 9.1 pounds - wanted to do it natural but the contractions were way toooo intense as I dilated from 3 to 10 cm in 1.5 hours and blacked out from the pain! I got the epidural right in time! Tore in half- needed 9 internal stitches 3 ext. and 2 cosmetic? Total time in active labor plus pushing to delivery was less than 10 hours. All I went through is so so worth it!
