Nearly there

Comment Published at 00:3000:3022 comments22 comments51 Visits51 VisitsReport

Well going by the midwifes dates i have 7days left, going by my dates i have 3days left but i guess i have to go by the midwifes dates because thats what they will go by..

I have hospital on wednesday so if i dont pop by then (knowing this stubborn little guy i wont) im going to talk to them about inducing me or doing a membrane sweep. Ive had pains for to long and they make me feel so crap and i cantd o anything. Most people i know have never been in as much pain as me until they were actually in labour!!

Ive tried nearly everything, evening primrose oil tablets, loads of walking, lifting up things, hot showers when i get pains to bring them on more, cartwheels hahaha, my birthing ball, heaps of things and nothing works!! Knowing my luck sex will work but im not game enough to get into that when i havnt had it in over 6months. In a way i want to cos i know it will work but then again im worried if it doesnt work and just makes me more dissapointed, ill just have to see how things go.

Eveyday i think im in labour hahahhaa, the pains get so bad that i stop breathing and freak myself out, they get so strong but are all over the place so i dont know. Constant back ache tho, which is great NOT!!! I think we mite go buy a massage chair, the one we want is $2000 but i think its worth it, it does from your neck to your ankles. We were gonna buy one ages ago but we said we will wait cos its not fair that i cant use it cos im preggy hahahaha...

Well better get dinner started, more bending and walking for me YAY, anyways sittign here on the comp isnt gonna get things moving.

Dannii xxo

Re: Nearly there

Oh my...no sex in 6 months?  Belive me it will still work.  And as for sex helping things along, tis true.  She prostaglandins in the semen help to "ripen" your cervix and prepare it for dilation.  You should give it a go!  And I am sure your bf would be more than willing to help you out!

Re: Nearly there

Ashton just wants to let you know he has a mind of his own before you even meet in person! He'll come when he's good and ready and not a day sooner, eh? Sorry to hear you're in pain though. That's no fun.

When is the next full moon? My husband really believes a full moon can get things going, but I just checked the calendar and I hope it's not the case for you, as the next one isn't til the 18th! Take care of yourself and that baby!

Re: Nearly there

That little man of yours is going to be writer!  He certainly knows how to keep us all in suspense! lol.

It won't be long for you now, a maximum of 3 weeks, so hang in there!!!!  You are doing great for a first timer! lol.  The real work begins once you have your baby boy in your arms!  From there, the next 5 years will be a blur.

Keep doing what you can to ease your pain, and yes, just jump into bed and have a great night!  I'm sure your boyfriend would appreciate some attention too! lol.  Just don't tell him that he might be able to feel bubs move though, might scare him off for good! lol.

Re: Nearly there-emmie

Ohh you dont understand how badly i want my baby out NOW!!! Im just in too much pain and cant handle it anymore!! Considering i cry when i get a paper cut ive done so good getting thorugh this last month!!!!

The massage chairs are good, they cost alo0t but better then going to someone to massage your back i think. Only thing is you shudnt stay ont oo long cos they can hurt your muscles, thats why i kinda dont want one co si know my bf will hog it and end up wrecking his back.

Re: Nearly there

Hey Danii, Not long to go but my bet is you may go sooner rather than later well ihope you do so that you are not in pain anymore onl;y have a baby to hold and say that was worth the wait and pain too. Try having a warm bath or a hot one if you cvan the hotter you can handle it the better i did this and started my labour with a couple of my chiuldren. My 7th one seperated my pelvic bone 2months prior to me having him and in the end i demanded to be induced as i knew i would go over my due date if they didnt so they booked me in due to all the pain i was in. I could not even walk to the letter box without pain. If the poain becomes to bad go to the hospital and just have them check you to see if you are dilating cos oif you are having pains off and on chances are you may be dilating and not know it. I hope you can manage to get some reast tonight and try the bath you never know it may work. Yes sex does generally start labour as the gel they use to soften you cervix for induction is basicaly the same. Hope all goesa well and that next time i read your blog you will either have had bub ort be getting close to delivery. What date are you exactly due??? I always go by my dates never the midwives cos the earlier you have an ultrasound in pregnancy the nmore accurate the due date is i was told this by my gyno! HUgs HUn and thinking of you i know how you are feeling XXX OOO michelle

Re: Nearly there-cheekymonkeys

I hope your right and i go into labour soon, it really has dragged on way too long, i cant even believe the hospital could let me drag on this long knowing how much pain im in!! You would think they would check to see if im dialting or anything...

I had a hot bath 2nights ago and got out after 15mins cos i cudnt breathe, i think it was way to hot lol, and my bath is huge as, a big triangle one and i was fully in. Then yesterday i didnt feel the bubs move at all but as soon as the baby heard his nefus voice he started  phhffeewww, i thought i cooked him!!

Going by my last period bubs is due 10th July, going by midwifes his due 14th July, only 4days difference but its a big differnce to me hahahaha... Either way i want him out before then!!

Dannii xxo

Re: Nearly there

 Hi Dannii,

I'd go for the sweep. The midwives swear by it and reckon most go into labour within 24 hours. I had it when I was overdue and it worked.

A massage chair sounds great, I think I want one LOL

Here's hoping the little guy won't be long now. You'll have to give him a talking to for being so stuborn hehehe

Re: Nearly there

go to deal direct Dannii. they have a recliner one for $299, or something crazy like that. i am very tempted. I have a cheap one that I am using atm with my knees. its a god send.

sex is a 100% garenty to induce bubs. sadly unless you get the chemical stuff thats the only 100% well close enought to.

i hope he comes soon sweety and the pain will get better.

Re: Nearly there

Hey yeah ive seen those ones. I like this other one tho because it has specially moulded parts for your body so it hugs around your legs and around your neck. My bf has bad knees too from a motor bike accident so we wanna get something good.. We mite be able to get one cheaper seems all the sales are on now.

I know 2people that had sex to bring on labour and it worked for both of them 1st shot. Both were like me and hadnt had sex during the 2nd and 3rd trimester so maybe it will work for me, im just not game enough to try it and i can just imagine the pain i will get lol...

He better come soon, or ill cut him out myself ahhaahha......

Re: Nearly there

to be honest Dannii, i know the pain you are having. i had it for 2 weeks before i had Alex. and sex was a great way to help me deal with the pain. I dont know about you personally, but me and a lot of other women use sex as a pain release. something to do with your brain and the chemicles it releases when you orgasim.

But yes, sex did work for me to get Ale out. :)

good luck Dannii.

Re: Nearly there

well im pretty sure by now that id be dialting becuase of the pressure i get and everything else and for how long its been going on for, im also 90% sure i lost my plug, so maybe sex will work, but once again im abit worried to try it.

So the day you had sex did you go into labour not long after?? did your waters break?

Re: Nearly there

What Rukia says is true.  orgasm can also help to prepare him for labour.  He will be used to the uterus contracting and will stress less.  Worked with my four, though not had much action with this one, never seems to be the right time!  That's what happens when you have kids!

Also, if you think your plug is completely gone, then the chemicals in sperm will work better.  They don't have to fight their way in! lol.  It is a theory I have been working on and having read many stories about women who have had sex through the last few weeks (on demand too! lol), the ones who lost their plugs found it worked better than those who didn't.

Re: Nearly there

hey

Yeah i keep thinking to myself i cant go on that much longer so hopefully im right. I will be talking to the midwife on wednesday anyway cos this is a joke the amount of pain im in. It gets that bad that i go to ring the hospital to tell them im coming in and then it stops. I think myw ater breaking would be the only thing that could let me now for certain its time but only 15% of womens waters break naturally :(
