2 week countdown!!
So I'm 1 day away from being 38 weeks.. getting intense.
Since I've been told several times most first timers go past their due date we've been trying various things to get him thinking about coming out. Not so he'll be here early, though I wouldn't mind, but bcz it would be super if he didn't go past. Things we've tried so far: eating peppermint patties (for peppermint oil), spraying lavender scent around the apartment, walking, (sex), and primrose oil.
We got the primrose oil @ GNC last night and it definitely works best... or maybe it's just a coincidence, but I had random contractions ALL FREAKING NIGHT! And some more today. Went to my weekly appointment at the birthcenter and had contractions while she was measuring the baby & and all that mess. They don't hurt yet so it could still be awhile, and they might get less frequent so who knows!
Gained no weight, no more tests/needles.. apparently if you're not married you have to get the dad to sign an affidavit and get it notorized to say that it is his baby.. but if you're married and have someone elses baby then the husband and NOT the father's name automatically goes on the birth certificate.. right cuz that makes sense. You don't want to hurt the husband's feelings by saying it's not his baby so the poor kid gets stuck with some misleading bullshit on their birth certificate.
anyways send good labor vibes this way so he comes on time :)
