G'day
Still here. Had my third weekly NST/amniotic fluid level check. All is well. Head is down. Baby is very active - not so much kicking as stretching in every direction repeatedly. They did the GBS swab today. My doc asked if I wanted to be checked (internal exam) and I said no thanks. I'm feeling great relatively speaking. Big and tired by night time. I sit on a hot pad at night for a while which seems to relieve the butt pain (think it's sciatic nerve) for another 24 hrs. Weekly prenatal yoga still feels good. I started drinking RRL tea each night about a week ago, just because I had lots of BH last time and which led to some decent dilation/ effacement before labor really set in, but then real contractions never set in even with AROM, so last time they did Pit. That won't be an option this time with my VBAC attempt, but I want to do all I can to get productive contractions going. No interest in getting this over and done with early - there's too much left to do. Still haven't done anything like pack a hospital bag, or even fill in my hospital paperwork I should have done months ago. oops. We did unpack the old baby clothes and I'll wash them all this week and figure out where to put them since the "baby" cupboard is full of kid stuff now. I've tracked down my diaper service. Mum arrives in two weeks to spend a month with us. I'm oscillating about when to schedule DS's 4th birthday party since my EDD is the day after his birthday. I wonder if one week early is enough - then my mum can be there too. Which means I really should think about buying his presents soon. A few months ago I found a great yahoo group of local mothers and have got very involved (via the internet mostly) with them. They are a great community and are all set up to bring food/babysitting/help as needed for me once I finally deliver. There's one other thing I'm worrying about, but I'll do a separate posting on that.

If you mean the one with too much amniotic fluid - I had passed on your suggestion about trying AROM and she agreed that seemed reasonable. I haven't heard the details of what actually happened yet, but she had a CS the next day to deliver a healthy eleven and a half pound baby boy! Ruth |
