All I can say is walk walk walk~ im pretty sure thats what made me go. Dont make yourself overly tired or anything but I started walking and went into labor shortly after. The night of labor (b4 it started) I did some laps up and down the stairs and we took a walk that day.

When I went into labor I was eating pineapple and there was a full moon. Something about pineapple is supposed to help induce labor. When is the next full moon?

Yeah sweety.. Don't wear yourself thin! Baby will come when babies ready and please don't try castor oil.. One of the major effects of that is for baby to pass maconium (sp?) in utero and he could breath it in and it could stick to his lungs causing him difficulty breathing..

Walking really helped me alot! Best thing.

I do not understand tim at all, how can he not want to have sex anymore...Im dying over here lol. Heather does not even get close to doing anything like that anymore it really suck she wont even kiss me like more than a peck because she says she doesnt want to. Everytime I get anywhere near her and act any bit "sexy" she denys me and tells me knock it off even before I do anything SadSad it really gets to me but I blow it off cause I can understand, its just the fact that we cant really have unprotected sex after the baby comes cause there will be no time and if there is we dont want her getting prego again for a while anyway Wink so maybe somone can pep talk her lol, but I dont think she will do anything like that anymore. Even her mom asked today "did ya get a piece of ass lately" lol(caps) and heather said no cause her tummy gets in the way and her mom said "just do some differnt positions" lol man her mom is funny but such an a$$ when shes not joking around but thats another story...Sorry to go on about that if it was tmi for yall sorry

Im the same way as heather, my libido is completely gone. Kevin thinks its because of him, and that im not attracted to him anymore and so on and so forth. Its not like that at all... I just have no ~want~ for sex.. Sex just hurts me now, after he sticks it in so far, it hurts the inside of me and stings bad, and then when we do it missionary, its really uncomfortable... My knees pop real bad now when I go on top, it hurts bad, so thats out of the question, anything from behind hurts my stomach, like I get these sharp pains and some are bad enought they make me cry... And like spooning and crap is just, I dunno, I just dont like it. By the ninth month 59% of pregnant women have no want for sex. Its normal. Sex is just plain old uncomfortable for some of us. And then we're grumpy on top of that, so then when somebody bothers us for something that sucks bum(lol sorry) we are gonna get irritated and tell ya to leave us the hell alone Laughing a pep talk probably wont get her libido back up, but maybe something very romantic would. Otherwise if its just sex for pleasure, or if she thinks it just sex for pleasure, she probably will just blow you off... Well thats at least whats going on with me and kevin, I cant say that this is how she feels, but im sure its how alot of pregnant women feel.
