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

Like I said though, no matter what it's an amazing experience.

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.

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 on Fri Aug 06, 2010 5:18 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

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

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

by **Patty432** on Fri Aug 06, 2010 9:34 pm

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.

by **Laura** on Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:17 pm

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

by germany offer on Thu Sep 09, 2010 12:08 am
