Baby just isn't ready to be born yet. I have a feeling i will be kept waiting past my due date and i will probably start going a bit wacky even before it too as you are. I so understand now that i am almost 36 weeks, it gets so much more uncomfortable. This too shall pass and soon you will be on to the sleepless nights, post partum recovery (and countless joys!) of motherhood. Might i suggest you write out a baby bucket list if you haven't. sending you good laboring vibes!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-done#post-244179 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:56:54 +0000 mediagirl 244179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol cute photo. :-) I took hot baths. They felt great and I didn't have to walk anywhere. Ha! Try it. The midwife at my practice said it might just help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-done#post-244169 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:51:20 +0000 chopsuey 244169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aMohror: no, you have to go to an acupuncturist! :D there are pressure points on the body that need to be needled.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-done#post-244165 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:50:18 +0000 aMohror 244165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: I thought about getting a massage because I did a couple times earlier on, I just don't know if I would be able to be comfortable the whole time! A pedicure sounds great though!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: I may need to look this up! Would my husband be able to do it for me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-done#post-244134 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:13:48 +0000 chopsuey 244134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aMohror: The needles are super thin and you barely feel it!

I have another one with tally marks for the weeks, too bad I didn't find that idea until I was already 38 weeks!</p> <p>@lydg: I have read some about the raspberry leaf tea, I decided not to try it and I cannot remember why!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: Acupuncture just sounds scary! lol I would like to try....but not sure if I could do it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-done#post-244105 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:36:57 +0000 chopsuey 244105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>baby will be here soon!!! good luck!<br /> try acupuncture!

I did everything, and it didn't work either.<br /> This is the worst part! Try to distract yourself.

I have been trying so hard to get this baby out and NOTHING! I walked almost 3 miles yesterday morning hoping my water would break! I'm to the point where I just want to give up and not think about it, but that's impossible! haha I'm dilated to a 2 still but I'm 90% effaced and have been losing my mucus plug since last week. I'm uncomfortable and just grumpy....<br /> Sorry, just needed to vent ladies! lol</p> <p>[attach=1425/12/m83fkg.600x450.39-weeks.jpg] </p>
