Awesome Laura!! We both had ultrasounds the same day. lol

. I hope you start feeling better soon! Morning sickness sucks!

by Guest Fri Aug 06, 2010 7:44 am

One thing to keep in mind is that no matter what type of pregnancy you have, even if it's a rough one throughout, there is no better feeling than seeing your child for the first time after you deliver. Words can't describe how amazing that feeling is. It took every bit of pain (16 1/2 hours of labor for me) away and I couldn't sleep for almost a week I was on such a natural high. It's wonderful!

by **Laura** Fri Aug 06, 2010 12:08 pm

WOW jill 16 1/2 hrs!!!!!! you are brave lol

ashley how did yours go!??

by Guest Fri Aug 06, 2010 12:37 pm

Yeppers, 16 1/2 hours after my water broke he finally came into the world. A neighbor of ours said to me a few days later, "now you are real woman after going thru 16 1/2 hours of labor"... lol

. I envy women whom go into labor and within less than an hour the baby is delivered.

Like I said though, no matter what it's an amazing experience. check out this jelly bean! - Page 3 191807

Laura how exciting for you. My labor for my first was 15 hours but only 2 for the second. I have been present for all three of my grandchildren's birth. What an amazing experience. Enjoy your pregnancy before you know it you will be holding a beautiful baby in your arms!

by hissprout Fri Aug 06, 2010 2:20 pm

My ultra sound went great Laura! I have never had one at the end of pregnancy, you could see her moving around, blinking, sucking her thumb, waving, sticking out her tongue! AMAZING! I hope you get to do one at the end as well. Magical is what it is.

I won't scare you w/ my horror stories of birth. lol

. Some are good, some are bad, everybody is different. Enjoy being pregnant! Don't forget to let us know as soon as you feel that lil one moving around!! Smile

I posted a video on facebook of our lil one. Smile

i'm with you on this one Jill!! I was in labor for 16 hours with Sydney. It's so worth it though. I do envy those women as well. I only hope this one goes smooth! Smile

You are due soon aren't you Sprout? I wish you a speedy but healthy delivery both for baby and yourself! That's so exciting that you had an ultrasound now and could see her doing everything.

by **Laura** Fri Aug 06, 2010 7:18 pm

oooo i will have to look at the video! that is awesome you got to see all of that.

question.. when does labor start? is it from when your water breaks, contractions 3(?) min apart, pushing, what???

by hissprout Fri Aug 06, 2010 8:18 pm

Jill, I am due August 21, so tomorrow will be two weeks left!! YaY! The doc said I am dilated to 1.5cm, so we have to go another 1.5 and they will admit me to the hospital to start labor. Doing as much as I can to speed up the process. Walking A LOT, but with the way all my labors have been, she will be late. Smile

Thank you for your kind words!

Laura, my doc starts counting labor when the water breaks. You can have contractions for awhile before you actually go into labor. My doc calls it pre labor. So, according to when my water broke w/ each kid I was in labor for 16 hours, 6 hours, and then 5 hours. Hopefully this one will be short!! Smile

I tried to put the video up here of my belly moving like crazy, but it wouldn't let me. sad

by **Laura** Sat Aug 07, 2010 12:14 am

!!! she is moving so much in that video! maybe she will come on my bday! 8/14

by **Patty432** Sat Aug 07, 2010 12:31 am

My water didnt break until right before I started pushing. I went into labor 16 hours before.

by **Patty432** Sat Aug 07, 2010 12:34 am

oh, and 3 pushes and my daughter was out. Same for my son. with him my water broke 2 hours before I pushed. just remember chin to your chest. makes it faster, and better pushes.

I don't know that there's a clear cut answer to that as sometimes you can go into labor and your water hasn't broken yet. I had a friend that the doctor had to break her water...it just wasn't happening on it's own. My contractions started within 1/2 hour of my water breaking.

Getting close to 16th week. lsmile thinks baby boy. I think baby girl. Maybe we're both right. Will we have an answer posted by Labor Day?

by lsmile4freebies Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:35 pm

HUH??? Did I miss something here??? I thought Laura said herself that they aleady knew it was a boy. Like they saw the ultrasound and already knew>> Laura...was I wrong?? Crap..I was just going by what you said. I have no idea what it is.
Germany....how up figure it's a girl dude??

by **Laura** Thu Sep 02, 2010 4:17 pm

nope you might have misread. i did say somewhere i HOPE its a boy.

by germany offer Thu Sep 02, 2010 5:09 pm

Germany....how up figure it's a girl dude??

The keys words in my belief that the baby will be a girl are: "I think".

by germany offer Thu Sep 09, 2010 3:08 am

BOY, BOY, BOY??? OR GIRL, GIRL, GIRL???

The day has arrived!!!

Will the baby be a BLUE jellybean or a PINK jellybean???

Drumroll Please!!!

Don't keep us waiting... there's a pair of underjams waiting with his or her name on it!
