But you know what, baby needs to be inside a little longer (she's comfy!) </p> <p>I know the wait it soooo annyoing. Trust me I'm with you! I know someone who was due a week after me and gave birth 4 weeks ago. Not fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154682 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:27:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 154682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely 100% believe that I willed myself into labor because Mrs. Bee and I had the same due date, and she went into labor with Charlie the night before our due date and I was SO. JEALOUS. I went into labor on our due date at 5am! </p> <p>Hang in there.. the end waiting is the worst!! You will make it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154421 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:44:30 +0000 Mrsbells 154421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went past my due date by 5 days and I know it sucks but hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154411 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:38:30 +0000 bpcmarj 154411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally know where you're coming from! I watched 2 of my friends who were due after me have their babies before I finally had ours at 42 weeks. It's hard and emotional, but the waiting is SO worth it!! Don't feel guilty about feeling jealous. I flat out told my friend that I couldn't meet her daughter yet since I was likely to be jealous and didn' t want to spoil it. She totally understood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154385 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:05:37 +0000 MsMini 154385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sorry your LO is being stubborn! I hope she decides to make her appearance before Sunday, if not, at least you know your time is coming soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154369 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:47:27 +0000 heffalump 154369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your LO just likes being in your belly all comfy and cozy, they come when they want to. Unfortunately it's the first step in telling you they're in charge now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154367 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:47:03 +0000 pastemoo 154367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154347 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:32:37 +0000 cvbee 154347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the end you are going to have such a good story to tell LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154339 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:24:30 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 154339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I have tried all the "tricks" to try and bring on Oxytocin, except for holding a baby I guess. I've been doing the sex, nipple stimulation, etc.<br /> Even eating lots of spicy food and walking and bouncing on a ball and raspberry leaf tea and massage and acupressure.... UGH! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154337 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:22:40 +0000 mrs. bird 154337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww:( I've heard the end is the worst! Maybe you can try to enjoy things you won't be able to do once LO arrives, like going to a movie or having a quiet dinner or go get a mani/pedi. She can't stay in there forever:) So cool that you will have them so close together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154333 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:20:21 +0000 mediagirl 154333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: ps...oxytocin, that's the hormone I was thinking about. Sex is supposed to help get it going and it's not just a sexual hormone. Babies can totally get it going, too. It's all about LOVE. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154329 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:17:47 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 154329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: thanks. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154311 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:10:37 +0000 mediagirl 154311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: awwwwwwwwwwww! You WILL NOT be pregnant forever!! I promise. I know it sucks right now and yes, it sucks that she had a super easy delivery and had her baby early but your baby just isn't ready to be here yet! Big hugs, mama. You will forget all about this when she's here, in your arms, your beautiful baby girl. Keep holding out, she'll come when she's ready!</p> <p>In the meantime, go see your friend. Give her a big hug and cry with her if you have to, she'll understand. See if you can hold that baby, too. Maybe those hormones of holding another baby will get your uterus contracting. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154310 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:09:09 +0000 tequiero21 154310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: maybe she was further along than she thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154308 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:06:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 154308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this waiting has to be the hardest thing I have dealt with emotionally. I thought she would be here by now.</p> <p>It doesn't help that I literally don't feel ANYTHING. I don't even know what a Braxton Hicks feels like!</p> <p>@jessiejo17: He actually was 7 lbs and super healthy. Looks like no preemie issues at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154305 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:02:49 +0000 Rock n Roll 154305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, waiting at the end is the worst, but don't worry! Baby will be here soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154303 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:00:32 +0000 LuLu Mom 154303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh that has to be tough, but jsut remember your baby is "cooking" the whole time so you don't have to worry about any diffculties that come with a premature baby. It will happen soon! Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-my-friend-had-her-baby-today#post-154299 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:56:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 154299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 36 weeks!<br /> We have gone through this whole process together, and I had always assumed I would give birth first since I was due 4 weeks and a couple days before her.</p> <p>Well, she had her baby today after being in labor for only 5 hours.</p> <p>As selfish as it sounds, I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that her baby just slid out at 36 weeks and here I am at 40 weeks trying EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK and still, no baby. </p> <p>I am going to be pregnant forever.... </p>
