[happily resolved] Can I PLEASE Have this Baby Already??!!

I have been dealing with contractions all weekend again. This time, they were kinda painful (nothing against "real" labor pains, I'm sure) and about one every hour. Nothing to call the doctor about and nothing to run to the hospital over. But enough to piss me off and wake me up all night. Evil or Very Mad

Not to mention, I have this spot on the right lower part of my belly that is oh so sore and hurts if my belly stretches even slightly one way. So sleeping was just fantastic last night. Just freaking fantastic.

I have one more week til I am considered full term so....in a week, I will up my complaining to at least 20 times a day.

On the flip side....


The good news is that my baby is healthy, to the best of my knowledge. And someone on another forum I visit (I know, perish the thought!!) had her baby early (10 weeks) and the little girl passed on over the weekend. Sad

So now here I am, wanting this baby out out out and feeling so damn selfish. I mean, someone else got her baby early and now she is gone. I guess I should be grateful my little one is staying put so that I don't have to make the decision this poor mom and dad had to make.

I wanted to note this here just for those of you who believe in prayer so that you could keep this family in your thoughts. They had their girl for 2 short weeks.

Makes me sad.

Bella--

Motherhood is for real--scary, isn't it.

I have a young (40's!) cousin who spent May and June complaining about the indignities of pregnancy. Baby is born and his healthy, but now the New Mama is complaining about broken sleep and not being about to read her fretful daughter's mind.

May you and my young cousin both be very thankful come the end of November.

Bella, I hope you realize that when it's "baby time" you will have to stop at your computer on the way out the door to post that you are on your way to the hospital. Very Happy

Mind, she and her daughter--and Daddy--can have privacy in the Delivery Room.

Privacy in the delivery room?

That was the least private experiences in my life! Very Happy

Seriously, you've shown Daddy how to post pics to A2K, right? It's not like we're gonna wait for you to get around to it. We're gonna be really upset if we have to wait more than 12 hours.

Why don't you do it like me?

Have the baby at home.
Just husband and midwife around.
When it's done a nice cup of tea, then breakfast with fresh rolls.
Then messages to all friends and the first picture online.

All within five or six hours!

Very Happy

By the way, not sure, if it has been mentioned, yet.
But your baby is fully developed three weeks before your official date.
Only before then is it supposed to be 'early' enough to need medical attention.
So even if the baby came right now, it should not be a problem.

Not everyone can or want do it that way.
Most prefer the safety of a hospital.

I would be willing to bet, that with Bellas medical issues, it is almost a necessity that she has a doctor with in arms reach while she gives birth.

i too would LOVE to have a home birth, but no more babies for me. Sad

No more for me either, but I would do it again the same way!

Thanks for the support guys. I'm still pregnant. And I have been considered a high risk pregnancy so even if the delivery isn't high risk, no midwife would take me.

I had a miserable night last night and this morning I feel like I am going to explode. She has settled into some weird position and it's causing a pain in my lower right side.

Not to mention, on top of it all I have had some bad gas pains ( Embarrassed ) so life is miserable today.

And as for the webcam....daddy is the only one, save the medical staff, who will be there when I deliver. There will be plenty of people there to stare at my exposed bottom...I don't need my MIL and what not looking too.

Camera is for AFTER the birth. If he so much as touches a camera while I am in labor, I will break it across his face.
