re: Official February 2013 Due Date Thread

O.O That's scary!! I guess it all depends on the person. Plus I've heard EPO helps to soften everything up so there's less chance of tearing.. And I would LOVE not to tear.

I lol'd, but I don't think it was a joke.

It's also a natural blood thinner...

Perineal massage would be more useful for not tearing.

Lol it kinda was but not really. I would be a little pissed at myself if the charm I bought her ended up being the wrong month. It was freaking expensive!! But if it happened that way then it really would be my fault. Also I don't want to go too far over cause I would really rather not have to be induced. Everyone is betting money that I'm going to opt for the epidural so I really want to put a crimp in their asses

I don't think it's gonna help with tearing, but u can do perineal massages if unwant a natural method for helping with tearing. And I wouldn't suggest it at 36 weeks. Maybe 38. What If your dd was off and baby was only 34 weeks developed?

Quoting A❤T=P+[It's a Girl:" It's also a natural blood thinner... Perineal massage would be more useful for not tearing."

Holy smurf seriously?! See all I've heard was that it helps soften all that up, damn!

It'd be awesome to have an emergency csection and blood transfusion during labor because of excess bleeding.

Quoting Lin'n baby {34 weeks}:" Holy smurf seriously?! See all I've heard was that it helps soften all that up, damn!"

it's always a good idea to do your own research.

Good point... I don't think my DD is off but then again... Stranger things have happened to me. It's sad that you guys tell me more about stuff than my own doctor does...

Quoting A❤T=P+[It's a Girl:" it's always a good idea to do your own research."

I asked my doctor at my last appointment cause of that one girl on the FB thread that was using it. She said it may help but never mentioned anything about the freaking blood thinning!!

Omg this cracks me up that it says not to use during pregnancy haha http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/mobileart.asp?articlekey=44730&page=3

Don't you love bg  

You have a good leeway being due mid month. I don't have any doubt you'll have LO before the end of feb. I chose to wait on buying any birthstone products because I knew being due when I was anywhere between jan and mar was a possibility. And now I'm still not buying stuff cause if they let me go all though 36 weeks it could be feb. so I'm just kinda riding the wave

WTF?! And this is why I don't Google smurf!

<blockquote><b>Quoting Lin'n baby {34 weeks}:</b>" WTF?! And this is why I don't Google smurf!"</blockquote>

Lmao!! It also said not to take if u have a clotting disorder (which would mean its a blood thinner).

Lol I got really excited.. Cause the Feb birthstone is purple.. And that's my fav color.. I couldn't resist.. Now that I actually think about it.. It wasn't such a good idea...
