Progressing :)

i Posted this in the pregnancy 18-34 forum as well

Things R starting to look good , I Had my docters appointment today and I was told I am 50 percent effaced and 1cm dialated as well as my cervix is anterior.

I am having contractions already. + I was told by my docter that she doesn't think ill make it to my due date.

I know it can still take awhile to make more progress but then again it can happen ANYDAY now.

Phewww ' I am excited and nervous

Girl, I guess were gonna have to self stimulate down there in order to climax! Sex is just uncomfortable and having the urge to pee already from a baby's head being so low and something else jabbing around in there.. it's just frustrating while trying to do the difficult...lol


Truth is, it takes me so long to do that if I do it by myself that I don't. It's rare. That and the fact that I can barely reach anywhere below my belly button! LOL...

I do a blind shave still. I refuse to poodle! haha! But even having a mirror I can't see so as long as it's just "good enough" I'm alright. Pregnancy does weird things to your body and mind! LOL

Lol I can't shave down there either well at least I can't see. I try to do as my as I can then I just let it be so for all I know I have patches lmbo.

I did the whole nipple thing earlier and it did give me contractions but other then that nothing.

I've been sitting on my yoga ball and nothing.

I wanna try different things do you ladies have any other ideas besides sex.

My husband keeps telling me " come on babe let's start labor so our son can be here already"
I keep telling him " yeah u just wanna make love" lol

I know there's a lot of ways u can try to induce labor so ladies give me more ideas lol

Lol! He sounds like my DH! hahah He says that ALL the time!

There's castor oil - which I will NOT be doing. Just icky. I've got enough bowel issues being pregnant that I don't need to jug a bottle to make it worse. lol

Evening primrose oil -  you insert just before bedtime. Don't think I'll be doing that either. Just don't know about sticking things up my hoohah lol

Walking - which I do a good bit of anyway due to my cleaning habits and cannot fight the urge to sit down...

Spicy foods - they say that some believe spicy foods help but I don't know. I know a lot of us are fighting heart burn. Although I did eat pizza today and the pepperoni was kind of spicy. I have heart burn right now and did have a few cramps.

Massages - for your ankles and such. I don't know if that works either but won't know if you don't try, right? lol

Pineapple - I don't know if this is an old wives tale or not. I've eaten it several times throughout this pregnancy and nada.

Stairs - Now I know this will help with some things... But, I don't know if it's help me yet. Won't know till Thursday Lol

Those are all I can think of right now.

LMBO!! I KNOW I have patches I can feel them lolol, I cant see down there at all! Not even with a mirror! I agree I can barely get my hands anywhere near my hooha to well you know! lol  

I eat spicy all the time yea I pay for it later but I crave it and Im still prego :{ I didnt know you put the EPO in your hooha yea I'll pass!

I'll try the massages, pinapple and stairs we will see! lol

I will never do the castor oil, I still remember how bad the morning sickness was :{

I did some vigorous dancing and some very loud passionate singing and I did have a few good contractions, so Im going to keep doing that and add those other things in too! Maybe i will have a baby here soon lol!

I believe I had 3 contractions this morning. I was sleeping and they woke me up. Felt like a bad period cramp. I was like woohoo even though I was so extremely sleepy. Lol... I barely got ANY sleep because we are having dish installed this morning and they were in our yard at 7:29 am... I went to sleep around 3. Kept waking up because of the cramping feeling or my cats wouldn't leave me alone Lol...


I hope this means I'm trying to dilate. I will know something in the morning after my ultrasound. Fingers crossed for SOMETHING. Lol

Anyone else getting the delightful shooting pains down the buttcheek and into your legs?  I get random ones where the baby must be moving and hitting my nerve just right.  All of a sudden you can't really move your leg and you look really funny as you do this corkscrew kind of move!!  At least that must  mean the baby is dropping further into my pelvis!  I really feel like I could go at any time now.  I had some pretty good contractions this morning, but of course they didn't last.  I was dilated to a tight four last Friday and I am so hoping at this Friday's appointment they will say I am even more!!!  (or better yet, I won't even make it to this Friday's appointment!)

We're getting there ladies!!
