How many cups of water a day were you drinking? I'm just curious to know what amount can cause early contractions...for example if I only drink 2 cups a day...will I end up dehydrated?
I drink 6-8 cups a day...more so on the 6 cup side...so just wondering what your intake was.View Thread

They're inducing you because of the baby's weight, right?
9.5lbs is BIG!!!! What have you been feeding that baby...lol
Let us know right away how your labor goes and it felt when you first held your LO
God Bless!View Thread

I had issues with food early on too...I had extreme hunger, but it went away around the 13th week...THANK GOD! That was very hard for me to keep up with eating morning, noon, night, middle of the night and on and on.
My dr won't do a GD test until 28 weeks...that's when they did my sister's also and she had it. Eating and planning meals was difficult for her too.
Well...keep up the good work. You were chosen to bring this LO into the world!View Thread

Will your labor be induced because of the GD?
I understand where you're coming from...I don't like pregnancy AT ALL! But I feel so blessed to be having a baby. I wish I was 29 weeks, but right now, I'm only 14 weeks.
You're in the last trimester and it will be over soon and you'll be holding your LO!
Are you just having normal aches and pains from the stretching?View Thread

What are you going to do to induce labor on your own?View Thread

I'm not expecting yet, but I wanted to research and possibly choose the hospital or birthing center where I'd have my baby since DH and I plan to conceive this year.
I would love for most of my family to be present during the birth and I know most hospitals only allow about 2-3 people the most.
Are any of you using a midwife in NC? If so, what establishment, how is your experience so far and can family of about 8 be present?
Thanks,View Thread

I know they say technically you can't but we all know some women experience bleeding that's like a period and that's what I'm referring to.
I'm just curious and EXTREMELY hopeful. I've had 2 periods since me and DH last BD'd, but now that my period is over I have backaches, knee aches, dull stomach cramping and a tightening in my chest.
I've had odd dreams and my sister asked if I was pregnant, so that made me even more hopeful.
