Congratulations, LR!  Sounds like you were on a bit of a crazy ride, but it all worked out well in the end. I hope your little guy gets over his jaundice soon and you enjoy your walk today! The weather sure is cooperating!
Now, time for spicy food.... ~ Petunia |

Petunia, you're in my thoughts! Wow, what a rough time. I will be hoping for an easy and soon delivery for you. Maybe we will both deliver this weekend. Had a midwife appointment today and this time the midwife did check my cervix and said I was 1cm and 90% effaced, and the head was at the -1 station. That all sounds good to me. She thinks I'll have a baby by Monday, though of course she could be wrong. But! I've been having lots of contractions today, so maybe she's right! I will say though I did NOT like the cervical check at all. I didn't think they would be so uncomfortable! I hope I won't have to have very many of them during labor. Congrats LR and 10:21! So many August babies are here! Horray! |

Hey guys! Elle here. Definitely in labor! Here's hoping it goes smoothly. Doula and midwife are still calling what I'm in early labor, but whoah, it's intense!
Wish me luck! I guess no matter what in 24-48 hours I'll have a sweet baby boy in my arms! |

just wanted to share that last sunday night, feeling so desperate, i tried castor oil, had a table spoon every 3 hours for 3 times between 4 to 10 pm. my contractions started at 12:30 am, went to hospital at 4:30 and was open by 5 cm. then, finally could get my light epidural at 9.5 cm and our baby was born at 10 am. it was a tough ride, can't believe it is over. so, no induction at the end and i didn't get diarhea from the castor oil. wishing an easy birth to everyone! |

WOW - good luck, Elle! Hope everything is going smoothly!! Can't wait to here your little on has arrived
Congratulations 9:26! I'm glad the castor oil worked and you now have your little one! Now, you have me thinking about castor oil... Any other August moms still pregnant? 4 cm, how are you? I was crampy and had lots of Braxton Hicks last night, but feel nothing this morning. I will be a week late on Tuesday, and seriously considering castor oil then

4 cm here - still hanging out at 4cm! I am a walking medical mystery that is for sure. I still contract every day like crazy and have been losing my mucus plug over the last week. I'm just sitting tight til Monday - eviction day lol!
Congrats to those who have gone into labor. To those still waiting - I'm thinking of each and every one of you. |

Jeez Louise, 4 cm! I was hoping to hear you had gone into labor! Or, that your new name was 6, 7 or 8 cm! So, 1.5 days to go for you at the longest since Monday is THE day. Hopefully, your baby will decide to come just a tad bit sooner! Good luck!!

Elle here! Omg. Our little one was born today at 9:44 am! He's perfect. I'm a mess. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours.All in all, labor was less than 12 hours, and I just have some first degree tearing. I'm so happy.
Definitely the most intense thing I've ever done. |

No kidding! It is unreal. I'm not holding my breath for any sooner than Monday. Guess this little one is happy and content to just hang out for a couple more days .
