Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / April 2004Please can you all send me your labour vibes? ;-)
Hi guys, I am now past my EDD and getting well and truly fed up! The MW came around yesterday to check up on me and my blood pressure has dropped which is good news as it's been steadily rising for the last couple of months! She also said that baby had dropped a bit as there was more room at the top and she couldn't move his head around anymore which is a massive relief as he is massive!!! I think he may have come loose again yesterday afternoon after me and DD went for a 40 minute walk but after hoovering the house top to bottom and doing the bathrooms this morning I think he's gone back down again! Yipee! I'm sick of curries, bumpy rides, foot spas and tried sex once but wasn't very comfy so not in a hurry to go back there again! Will definetly not touch cod liver oil! So I'm sat here desperately urging the contractions to start! The MW told me yesterday that due to complications with DD after being induced and then an emergency c-section they may very well take me in this weekend for a planned c-section which I really don't want to happen as I can't face being away from DD for 3-4 nights and I dread to think of the consequences on her. :-( So as you can guess I'm pulling my hair out a bit now, I think the chances are it'll be a c-section again but fingers crossed DS will make an appearance before it gets to that! I've got my appointment with the consultant on Thursday so we'll see what she says. Sorry to go on and on and thanks for listening! Hugs Adele xxx Mum to Leigh 2nd April 02 born 9lb 15oz Expecing DS 22nd April 04 <snipped but read> Adele, Your first delivery sounds identical to mine, not too pleasant all round and I can understand you not wanting to repeat the process. I'm due again in Sept and will try my damnedest not to be induced this time! As to the folk remedies, sounds like you tried them all (except maybe raspberry juice, but that's about as effective as the others, lol) so just sit tight and rant on here as much as you like!

LOL! I've just actually booked a consultation with a local reflexologist who lives around the corner from me to try and give that a go, the consultation is free and I'm going to try and fit in at least one session before I see the consultant on Thursday to see how that goes. If nothing else it'll help me to relax and you never know it might just work to bring on labour! Thanks again, I'll let you all know how I get on! Ax Thanks Angie, much appreciated!! LOL!

The area is around your ankle joint ish. Well, i had the hour treatment at 4pm and contractions started about 1am! My waters broke at 7am and my DD was born at 1.59 am the next day. Im positive it was the reflexology that started me off :) Hubby is a bit more sceptical (arent they all!) All i know is that most first timers are late, and there i was about a week early (i was sooo against being induced that i wanted to fit in two sessions a week from weeks 39+, our hospital would let us go to 42 before being induced but hey, it worked after one session!) Heres sending you labour starting vibes, come on baby :) Good luck Marie > Thanks Angie, much appreciated!! LOL!

I was afraid that it would only work if my body is ready but we'll see, the first consultation was free and then its £20 for the next and £25 from then on so fingers crossed! Really enjoyed the session and my feet are all tingly now! LOL! We'll see what happens! Thanks Ax > Hi guys, I am now past my EDD and getting well and truly fed up! Good luck & lots of 'vibes' your way :o) Jen > > Hi guys, I am now past my EDD and getting well and truly fed up! > > Good luck & lots of 'vibes' your way :o) > > Jen Thanks Jen, I'm still here at the moment :-O, had my 2nd reflexology session last night and after having period like pains after the first session, last nights just left me feeling totally relaxed and absolutely shattered! Had the best nights sleep I've had in ages! Off to see the consultant this afternoon to see what she is going to plan with me.

Just a note - it's not up to the consultant to decide, you know that, right? She can offer you advice, but whether you take it or not is entirely up to you :-)  SignatureHedgehog > "BRC" <jenNOSPAMct@ntlworld.com> wrote in message > > "Adele" <ajchatterton@btinternet.com> wrote in message [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Ax Oh you poor thing, still hanging on!
