Well today I was 1 cm 80% thinned out and -2 station. Dr manually stimulated my cervix to see if I can get labor to start going on my own. I am booked to be induced Tuesday at 6am if I don't go into labor before hand....


Well needless to say Ive been crampy all day and Ive gotten some bloody show. Also had contractions about 7 minutes apart for a good couple of hours.

Wow.... hope to hear about a fast and happy ;labor and bouncy baby soon!!

I see you are from Dunnelon... I have family there! My aunt and uncle run a quarter horse farm there.

Well guys, I am still hanging in there. It is a lot more reassuring now that I can feel baby kick. Had the ultrasound, everything is *AOK*

We did not find out the gender. Everyone seems ticked...

I am just happy. 22 weeks, no preeclampsia. I have an ultrasound in a few weeks to look at just the placenta... my OB said that by a doppler ultrasound they can detect PE before it happens.

So.... if PE is 5-8% of all pregnancies, why don;t they do it for EVERY WOMAN? That's a huge amount of lives that could have been saved...

my water broke last 3 babies and I put a diaper in my pants.....LOL

make sure you pack maternity pants or shorts to wear home.... trust me, most people still need them.

DH is buying my a new nightgown, new slippers and robe to wear home. (There won't be anybody to greet us at the door so I can just relax when I get home so I will leave the Maternity stuff at home.

I did the diaper thing too. I read somewhere that adult diapers are good for after the birth. More comfortable than the hospital ones and more absorbent than the usual pads.

I have heard of people having it dried and encapsulated. They swear it helps with post partum depression. Others plant it under a tree.
