    romaine lettuce and honeydew melon

    Upcoming appointments this week?
    had my NST and midwife yesterday and did a cervical check and nada is happening. Hopefully in the next two weeks something happens or they can't even do a membrane sweep to try to get things moving along for my VBAC since I can't be induced :/ have a growth scan Thursday with my BPP so excited to see his estimated size

    Any new symptoms or changes? 
    just more contractions and some fun pains way low but he hasn't dropped that is for sure 
     
    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    my energy is actually not horrible so I'm still able to hit the gym 5-6 days a week and we have everything done: his room, the go bag is in my car, the last minute grab and go list, all arrangements for DD depending if/when anything happens so naturally he will probably not come early. I have until almost 41w to go into labor or I have to have another c section so the countdown is officially on. On a positive note I am GBS Negative so no antibiotics when I get it just a Heplock!! Last time I was positive not that it mattered with the c section.

    All the fruit!! Love berries and watermelon other than that my appetitie isn't super amazing so thankfully that means I can eat pretty balanced since I don't care.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    This mught also be a UO... Has anyone used acupuncture for "induction"? I tried with my first and came out with crazy spells of BH but later found out he was breech and not engaged so I don't think anything would have worked.  This time I'm trying for a vbac and think I'm going to get started next week... I might even tell them I am a week ahead.  They do a labour prep thing until you hit 40 weeks then go all out to try to a natural induction.  Seeing as I am trying for a vbac any sort of drug induction is out... 

    GTKY: What have been some of your third trimester cravings?
    Butter chicken... which alsobrings on the heart burn.  Mint chocolate chip ice cream.  Yum!

    @MrsN092714 I am also going for a VBAC so I feel your sense of urgency! I tried acupuncture for turning my breech baby last time (didn't work) and you certainly could try but I'm not sure it would really be that effective at inducing labor. I did always like it to relax though and always felt great after. I see a pregnancy massage therapist who this week started doing all the "uterine" points aggressively. Will it specifically do anything? Eh but it does make me feel so good afterwards and helps with so many things and I can't help but imagine that being relaxed and ready is better than tense and worried! She also was very specific that baby will come when baby wants and this just helps relax and ready the body for it.
