When and how often are you having them ? :bigear: Maybe you should be writing down the time when you have a contraction and how long they last. Are you having any back pain ?

Once they start coming every 5mins for an hour, I will be getting ready for the tub! It doesn't take long after that. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I just had my first home birth in the tub. It was so amazing! Three hours start to finish.

Ravin Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 This thread is proving to be fun. I'm looking forward to checking it in the morning when I get up for work, to see if there's a baby yet! I dreamt I had the baby last night, only it was twins and the second was a footling breech...unless the second one was a kitten, or just my placenta taking too long. Very wierd dream. DD found my off-the-couch inversion exercise most entertaining this evening! Midwife today was very reassuring, her most recent baby (born in October, she brings him to appts usually) didn't stay head down until 38 weeks. We're going to try moxibustion at my appointment next week, and in the mean time I'll be doing inversions a couple of times a day (I can definitely feel the ligaments stretch when I do it) and/or set up a board so I can do the breech tilt.

AnitaMcC Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 With my twins "Baby A"/Ds was head down almost the whole pregnancy. "Baby B"/Dd was sideways (transverse?) up until Ds was born. But then again she had so much more room to stretch out and all... that she took over an hour to be born!!!! She was in no hurry after finally having some space-LOL.

Hannah C. Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 AngelBee, I have to admit that I am quite jealous of you right now...lol! At this rate your baby will definitely come before mine. ;) I spent the day doing more walking than I have in a while. Still no signs of labor that I've noticed. However, I did get to see my mom, which is always nice especially now!! :) And, unlike the rest of you expecting mamas, I'm having a girl. :D But we don't know her name for sure yet. She has to come out before we can decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has to come out before we can decide. And you are overdue! God knew better than letting me go overdue. I am not a patient person. Get thyself a big, round exercise ball, sit as wide-legged as possible, and roll your hips. If it doesn't make baby girl come, at least you will be comfortable for a few moments. :grouphug: Come out of there baby girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Babies come when they are ready. :) Doing things to rush it along only wears one out, can be frustrating, and takes energy that should be saved for hard labor.
