re: ~Official December 2012 Due Date Thread~

Quoting Freckleface Watermelon:" Due in 2 days. No additional progress from last week (or the weekend) I'm 2 cm, thick, and baby is still plenty high. Was hoping he was going to come early but I don't think that is happening!"

  bummer!

Quoting O ♥ G:" VBAC was a success! Labor was about 10.5 hours with 30 mins of pushing. I got the epi when I was about ... [snip!] ... 21 inches. And she has already breastfed and is just the cutest!   Hope everyone else is making progress and doing great!!"

Congrats on your VBAC! That's awesome. And well done on Brooklyn. Looking forward to pics x

Quoting 2happy:" Brayden is still frank breech.   his fluid is also on the low side. I have to go back Friday for another ... [snip!] ... ultrasound and then 2 times a week. If he is still breech next tuesday they said we will schedule my c section for the 18th."

Get on that ironing board and do some pelvic tilts! Still not too late for bub to turn x

Quoting marisssa ♥:"   no baby for me. i am 3cm now and 80% effaced. Dr is going off my due date of Dec 2. So I'm not ... [snip!] ... know why my dd was changed to the 23. it should of stayed at the 2nd. fluid levels are good and now its just the waiting game."

Yeah, I'm going off my calculated due date of 3rd Dec. I know when I ovulated and when we BD'd so I'm sure my due date is more accurate than the 29th.

Quoting army mom of 3 (+1):" My water broke! At a 5 and 75%, just playing the waiting game now, going all natural so I hope it's fast like with my son!"

Way to go, you can do it mama!

Quoting marisssa ♥:" It really does. I'm so impatient."

Someone showed this poem to me today:

"My baby's not a library book,
so she's not overdue.
My baby don't take long to cook,

coz she's not veggie stew.

My baby's not an elephant,
and I'm not fit to burst.
The time and date aren't relevant,
we're blessed with days, not cursed.

My baby can't read dates as yet,
because she's very new.
So there's no cause to fuss and fret,
if she don't come on cue.

So stop your worry, stop your asking,
There's no hurry, we're relaxing
In this golden pregnant time,
This pause, which is just hers and mine."

True story I posted on here the 29th of NOV. Saying I wasnt sure if what i was feeling was labor lol after talking to everyone i shrugged it off and tried to go to sleep kept waking feeling some pains here and there I went to my appt at 2 Pm My dr checked me I was 3 CM and in active labor!!!!! I was given a C section 2 hours later!!! i gave birth to a VERY healthy little girl Alice Pearl weighing in at 5lbs 12.5 oz 19.5 inches long!!! She was 3 weeks plus early and doing awesome!

38 weeks today! And it's snowing here! Not too much but hoping it doesn't snow too heavy cause wasn't planning on a home birth lol.

How are all you ladies doing?

Sorry to hear that the pains you were getting didn't progress but great that you are still upbeat! It deffo helps to keep yourself busy.

I am spending today trying to get my christmas shopping done. Going to be doing it online though to avoid the crowds! Plus it's freezing here, not like lovely sunny Australia!

The weather has been really gorgeous here, so it's pretty easy to keep busy. Lots of trips to the park and pool.

Still hard to get Christmas shopping done, regardless of weather - especially when you're 9 months pregnant!

<blockquote><b>Quoting Mama to Izzy and Olive:</b>" Hi mama's! Olive Jane arrived on 12-3 (her due date) weighing 7lbs 2oz and 19 3/4 in long. Here is her ... [snip!] ... 19 3/4 in long. Here is her birth story  http://members.baby-gaga.com/myannouncements.php?pg=read&announcement_id=226556"</blockquote>




Welcome miss olive!! I love her name- congratulations on a healthy baby girl & safe delivery!

I'm jealous of your nice weather! We're hoping to move to Australia some time in the near future. My auntie lives in Perth so might go and stay with her for a little while. My mum went out to her in August when she has her baby for a month and didn't want to come back lol.

I'm not doing too great with my Xmas shopping. I just wanna get it all done now so I can relax and not have to worry about any of it when the baby is here.

They always respond, "Oh a Christmas baby!" By now it's hard to smile at them and act like I haven't heard that 50,000 times."</blockquote>




  I hear that at least 7 times a day. I just have felt awesome this pregnancy- I don't feel huge like last time & I'm still getting things in order lol.

Yeah, that's what I tried to do. Didn't get it all done, but nevermind.

I've never been to Perth but I've heard it's a lovely spot.
