37 Weeks Friday, Feb 27 2009 

hello again,

I am 37 weeks  now and Autumn is not cooperating! So far i have tried walking, raspberry leaf tea, and pineapple to bring on labor and NOTHIN! Only some really bad braxton hicks contractions at about 3 am this morning. I went to the doctor Thursday and she told me that most first time moms deliver between 39 and 41 weeks, i wanted to punch her. So, she said I’m looking at having this baby right at my due date which is not what i wanted to hear, but, that’s less than 3 weeks away now so even if my little one doesn’t come early i still wont have to wait much longer! We have another apt next week where the doctor will tell me if i am dilated at all which will give us a better idea of when baby Autumn plans on making her grand entrance! We will keep you informed :)

36 weeks and this baby can’t come soon enough! Friday, Feb 20 2009 

Hello,

I am 36 weeks pregnant now and cant wait for this baby to come! I saw the doctor this week and he told me he doesn’t want me to have the baby until i reach 37 weeks bc that is what they consider full term. So… starting next week i have the green light to try every old wives tell said to bring on labor, from climbing stairs to eating pineapple, i plan to try them all ;)   At this point i am as miserable as i can be. My hands and fingers are so swollen i can hardly close them, I’m having terrible back pain, and my walking has turned to a mere shaky waddle. I will be 37 weeks next Wednesday, so I’m going to try really hard to go into labor then, hopefully Autumn will cooperate :)
