Congrats!!! I know that you're happy, nervous, and desprate at this point! I was scheduled to be induced on May 5th with my son but my water broke on May 1st (late at night). My contractions weren't strong enough so I did get "induced" with pitocin (sp?). It did bring contractions faster and harder but as soon as he popped out, I couldn't tell you anything about the pain. It all goes away..........you'll do fine, especially when you see that beautiful baby boy!
My best friend was induced last year (the day they induced her was 1 week past her due date). She went in around 7am. They induced her and nothing happened until around noon. She requested an epidural but didn't get one as the baby came out in less than 2 hours! Her baby girl is perfectly healthy and content.
Thanks for the good vibes everyone! I am getting more excited and less nervous. I can't wait to see him. I will be spending plenty of quality time with the kitties and have started to increase their attention now before the baby is home. Plus the hubby will be home for at least 2 weeks after the baby is born so he will spend time with the cats and the kid as well.
Yes, I am planning on an epidural. I am resting this weekend, except for tonihgt. I am an avid professional lacrosse fan and my team (the Toronto Rock) are playing tonight. I have season's tickets and I will miss 1 or 2 games after the baby is born, so I am definately going to see this one tonight. If need be, my seats are right near the paramedics, but nothing happened at the last 2 games with the baby in the past months, so I don't expect anything tonight. I hope I can still fit in the jersey - it was a little snug last game!
Yipee...a Valentines baby...my god daughter is a V-Day baby...she'll be 18 this Monday! I held her in the delivery room before her mom. Good luck, Ady, I know you are exhausted already...it will be worth it though!
heya sweetie - good luck on Monday. I'm a firm believer that labour is what you make it, so don't get too nervous. It's a wonderful thing, and you'd hate to be cheated out of it in any way. As Pat&Alix said, get lots of sleep, because it will be a precious memory. Sleep will be a precious memory, that is
Its about time!!!!!! Stubborness seems to run rife already in that familly.... I have been pacing the floor for hours and am wearing it out in the lounge....
