I had a S&S today, now what....?

[blackduckies]

If nothing has happned yet some sex, an orgasm will do wonders same hormones i believe, and another good nights rest!!! you still have a few more days, do your walking, excerise, house cleaning and some rest during the day, I am sure you will be in labour yourself soon, 2-3cm with contractions last night sounds good to me. Accupunture !!! I had a session early afternoon and that night, around tea time I was in labour.
Good luck.

Anything happening today? this is very exciting

MrsB26 - can u actually express milk before bub is born when its ur 1st???

[LimeSlice]

on your hands and knees and scrub the kitchen floor. My mum swore by it lol

The walking didnt work for me, but have a crack at orgasm, even if it doesnt work still a great stress relief and good to get your glow on!

Good luck!!

[YoYo]

Got a Wii Fit!? How about some fun dance step aerobics!!!

[ubba82]

so many things to try! Ill fish out the old breast pump and have a crack with that.

hj- obviously by my above comment nothing is happening today....yet....

[hj1981]

Bugga i hate waiting! hahahaha

i'd go the nipple stimulation - that got my labour started im pretty sure oh and the squats and the pelvic tilts in the driveway (which i didnt realise the neighbours were watching )

[Jas]

Just wanted to wish you lots of labour vibes! I hope you go into labour yourself!! Is putting the induction off for a bit an option?

Oooh no, i wasnt getting any milk just doing it for the nipple stimulation

Hi Ubba - I found the thread, no rush ha ha! How are you? I'm still bleeding a little of the "show".....few tightenings in the belly so just waiting waiting. I'm ok if it doesn't happen till the end of the week, I'm not full term until Sunday so no rush.....besides, I'm freaking out cause I'm scared LOL!

Speak to you on our November thread. Good luck tonight mate! Thinking of you. xx

[aussienic]

Good Luck

funny, funny, funny!!!
Go the accupunture I reckon, tell them why and they'lll get an appointment for you...sorry pretty average advice, if you don't have one near you? Plenty of us cheering you on, hope it helps!!!

[ubba82]

Well, Im still pregnant lol (that was a sarcastic laugh by the way...)

I got the breast pump out but couldnt find any bottles so the colostrum I got out soaked into a towel and went to waste I was actually surprised at the amount that came out, deffinately going to make a good cow

I tried accupressure last night. There are points in your hands between your thumb and finger and as I was massaging thoses areas I actually got some tightenings! I didnt actually think it would work!

I went for a walk last night too. I walked down the end of my road and then back up the hill - just about killed me! Everyone I walked past gave me an understanding smile like they remember doing exactly the same thing.

I am going to resign myself to the fact that I am getting induced Friday morning and will have the baby then - if s/he decides to come sooner - BONUS!

[hj1981]

U will go into labour before friday! don't forget driveway squats!!!

[Alison1973]

Hi Ubba - I hear your frustration! I had mine on Monday and still here! Still getting some very light bleeding and some tightenings but nothing else. As a first timer, I can't tell what's from the procedure and what's the beginnings of the labour. I did get excited when I had to go to the loo 3 times for number 2's yesterday ha ha (sorry TMI). Grrr.....I think I could go till early next week and then I'll be over waiting. ha ha.

[ubba82]

hj- I forgot about the driveway squats!! Ill head out there after tea then I know the high school kids wont be walking past to laugh at me

Al- Your time will come - as long as its not before me xxx

Still nothing much happening - although I have had alot of CM today.

[AliBaby]

Ubba- I remember being in your position. I had a S& S and was 1 cm dilated before that and I think 50% effaced. I had that done at 40wks. It didnt work and I tried everything else. I didnt want to be induced so pushed it out until 42weeks instead of 10 days over and DD came naturally when I was 13 days overdue. It was the longest 2 weeks of my life and everyone else was having babies around me! She must have just wanted to pick her own birthday.

Hope your precious bundle comes soon. It wont be long no matter what. cant wait to read your BA

[Queen]

Hello, thought I would drop in with me two bobs worth I had stretch and sweep Monday, DD2 arrived Thursday morning.
I did MANY things, there is also an acupressure point on you ankle (pedicure maybe ) Try a long hot soak in the tub, worked for me.
Good luck

[Alison1973]

Hey Girls - it's so interesting to read how it works differently for everyone. I've been getting lots of tightenings today and feel quite uncomfortable so not sure if it's doing something! The bleeding has subsided but I just feel different. We shall see! Come on Ubba, I'd feel dreadful if I beat you to it given you're a little ahead of me time wise!!!!!!!!! Squat squat squat girl! xx
