re: My fellow December Ladies! =)

Quoting sillygirltracyb 12/25:" i feel ya.. today was my first day of showing progress... 1-2 cm dilated,30% effaced.. and well DR felt ... [snip!] ... good other than being sooo dang anxious to hold him, and see what he looks like and kiss him and all that.. it's torture!!"

Ahh I know!! I just want him soo bad!! I am having some cramping right now and even though it's mild I'm like is this finally it!?! But my luck it wont be haha

Quoting sillygirltracyb 12/25:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Mandhee Dhandapani:</b>" its the amount she has remaining...dr. ... [snip!] ... since my due date is around the corner  "</blockquote> How do they measure that? ? Looking at ultrasound or what?"

checking the AFI -Amniotic Fluid Index-but ya they check by the ultrasound ...its basically just like when you go find out the sex ..they measure head etc..well they just check the fluids....but i finally got checked an im only 1 cm dilated but my cervix was still way up high...i find out Monday if i will be induced within that week or next... 

Im starting to dialate but still nothing, im really hoping my son doesnt come out on time though, a christmas baby really isnt fair =[ for him that is.

My water just broke...headed in now!

Quoting Lizplustwo:" My water just broke...headed in now!"

good luck!!!!! Im soooo jealous

Quoting Lizplustwo:" My water just broke...headed in now!"

YAYYYYYYYYY IM SOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!

Quoting Lizplustwo:" My water just broke...headed in now!"

woohoo.. baby soon... hope you have an easy and fast delivery..

I'm hoping my baby stays in my belly until atleast saturday night or sunday. I need to get ds's xmas presents and take him to see santa!

40 weeks on Saturday! Hoping things get going soon. Was still just 1cm yesterday  Want to go for a vbac, so my doc wont induce. If no baby by next week, it's another c-section for me 

Only four days left for me...but i doubt she will come on time ....im due Monday and i have an Apt. scheduled that morning at my clinic an at the hospital for NST an AFI...   i want her here before Christmas...

She is here! Miss Aria was born at 10:37 this morning...8 lbs 13 oz and 20" long. Had a fantastic, 9 hour natural labor and she came out with about 3 good pushes...the midwife was scrambling to get ready as she pretty much shot out. No tearing whatsoever and she is nursing like a pro! Will post pics when we get home ;)

Awesome. Did u do massages ahead of time to avoid tearing?

Nope, nothing...the nurses were all pretty surprised actually, considering she came out so fast. I tore a little with my first but nothing this time! Everythong went sooo smoothly and I feel great. It's a world of difference from the pitocin labor...

Wow.. thats awesome... I had my daughter all naturally almost 12 years ago.. 1 hour of labor 5 pushes. But I tore. 7lbs 5oz.. they are estimating this son to be in the same ballpark. ..possibly smaller .. but I'm goin all natural again but I just hate thinking about tearing and healing.More so than actual labor

Due dec 31st dilated 2cm 75% effaced, baby's head is engaged as of this past thurs. Go back the 20th to get checked again. My dr could feel his head....said he's very low.
