People need to send some labor vibes my way in the next couple weeks I got a little less then 3 weeks left now and im ready to have this baby, just not on wednesday I have to be home to watch hells kitchen and prefer not sunday either hubbys show is on and its a season finale too lol . But any other time please,
ive heard that sex can help bring labor on? Is that true?
Not that it matters hubby wont have sex with me anymore he says my belly feels weird becuase its hard and this babys sitting differently then how I was with joseph our first so eh . Maybe we can go walking on base, there is ahuge huge huge hill omg its a pain to walk up but hey if it helps ill do it lmao, ive walked up it once and I was pushing my son in a stroller and about 23 weeks pregnant and my friend was 30 something weeks and pushing her daughter in a stroller, she ended up having her son at 36 wks and 6 days but hes alil chunker now, im just ready for my baby to be here , its uncomfy to sit and to stand and carrying my son and cleaning. I just want a baby free belly so I can be comfortable again, I miss sleepin on my belly.

Can u take zyrtec when breastfeeding? Just wondering.
U can go into labor without losing your mucous plug right?

It will be weird if my water doesnt break this time around but eh I know what labor contractions feel like , but even with my son iwas waiting when my water was leaking and I was in horrid pain cuz I wanted to be sure lmao before waking everyone up at 3am.

I just dont like the pelvic pain and pressure and the heartburn and feeling naousous every morning . Its wearing me out lol

There is no evidence that zyrtec causing damage to the foetus if taken during pregnancy but it does leak into breastmilk so it's not advisable to take it while breastfeeding. I was prescribed .Piriton (chlorphenamine) during my pregnancy because I suffer from severe allergies. I'd speak to your doc first though.

My dr told me in florida that I could take the zyrtec in the 2nd trimester but I never did ive just been dealing with the allergies, but if they are still bad after the baby then I guess iw ill be talking to the dr , I still have my zyrtec though thats why I was wondering. But we will see maybe they will vanish when the babies born because htey were bad when I was in fla but im in a totally diff climate now so it might be preggo related ya know but I gues si will have to wait and see, the cold winter hasnt gotten here yet we might not see snow till january but then it might stick around till may Sad

How are you feeling today, you said you were hurting yesterday. Don't you get to come back to the states in .March? When do you see the dr again? Do you plan on having a natural birth? Hope you are not in the hospital at christmas but if you are, you can always celebrate it another day.
Lots and lots of labor dust to you!

Had My Appt This Morning:)
I had my dr appt this morning, they still dont check my cervix I dont get why they did it at all my other appointments but close to the end theyve stopped doing it, but they monitor the babies heart and for contractions for half an hr,
ive been having mild contractionsall morning, at the moment I feel quite good for now , I had 2 contractions that I felt while I was at my appointment, I dunno if it picked up more on the machine when she was lookin it over, but ive had mild ones since leaving my appt but not so much since ive been home, some people seem to think ill pop this weekend hehe but I cant, hubbys shows on sunday night hehe cant miss it its the season finale but eh we weill see what happens, I pretty much got most of my stuff packed up I gotta do my sons bag for the babysitter though, ill prob end up packing it while in labor.
Maybe the sex helped contractions hehe , finalyl convinced hubby , I told him if shes late then it would be his fault hehe, maybe we will go walkin this weekend im not sure.
Still getting occasional mild contractions not as strong as earlier but eh, I had mild contractions 2-3 min apart 3 days before I went into labor with my son. But im not gonna get my hopes up

Darling I wouldn't make a big deal about her being late cause if you do end up going overdue you are going to be devastated. Believe me, I was the same as you I tried everything to get them out early. Lucky (for me) they were both born at 38 weeks but I was just going insane the last few weeks.

Just tell yourself you still hae 5 weeks to go and if she comes early then it's a blessing

Yea im pretty much thinkin I will go over because I did with my son. So not getting my hopes up on anything and the drs dont tell you a think here either lol so its not like they are gonna say what they think they jsut say eh babys good see ya in a week.

And for sandy I think it was , I forgot to answer I beleive I will be doing it natural, I dont want to but they arent into giving drugs here, they try to not give u an epidural if they can help it lol, the only med my friend got wa sa pill to stop her from lactating because she chose not to breastfeed so eh it all depends on how much time I have etc when I get there and if I ask them about pain meds or anything , its an hr drive to my hospital but the autobahn is most of the trip with no speed limit so hehe I got an advantage

Sending you "no-labour" vibes - do not wish baby out early - it's devastating how many people seem to want baby out early - let it stay in and develop good and proper first.

Strangely enough woman has evolved to give birth - you don't need to a doctor to tell you when to give birth - it isn't something you choose when to do - unless there is an underlying medical reason.

Once baby is ready labour will begin.

As for your allergies if the doctor said to take zyrtec in the 2nd triemster - that was the 2nd triemster - that's not the month before you are due to give birth, that's not after birth when you are breastfeeding. Go to the doctor and get proper advice.

It was my old doctor in florida that told me I could start taking the zyrtec again in the 2nd trimester but I never started taking it , it has been in my medicine cabinet ive just been having fun dealing with allergies . I just dunno if I wanted to start takign it again after the babies born or not , I do plan on trying to breastfeed/pump wich is why I asked. Im not wishing my baby here unhealthy and early. I know they come when they are ready Smile, im not gonna get all excited that icould have the baby early it really doesnt matter to me its just gettingso uncomfy . This year would be nice for the tax purposes lol but eh either way it doesnt matter I am due the 27th so its an iffy thing could be xmas day or new yrs who knows.

I dont go back to the states until april 2009 Sad
my parents will be visiting in may , maybe , they are having some marriage problems sorta so eh we will see if they come or not well my mom will at least she has the money saved just not sure if my parents will come together. My baby will be like 5 mths old then wow.
