Pregnancy question/stories

Hi Misty! I was thinking about you just yesturday wondering if you had a baby yet or not!

With my third, it was my first natural without being induced. At 4 in the morning, I wake up hubby, his alarm goes off, and the song playing was “get a little closer” He makes a comment about do that with the contractions first. I nearly fell over!! LOL. THEN we get to the car, and he starts driving in the wrong direction, I asked him where he was going, and he says “can’t I stop in at work for a minute?” UMMM…..NOOOOO!!!!! I’ll never forget that!

Keep us posted, and I hope it comes soon or you!

Misty,

I’m so excited for you and I LOVE your story!!

My first two were induced and with my third, we barely had enough time to get to the hospital. I can still picture my husband running through the emergency room doors carrying my BIG birthing ball – which I never had a chance to use —- baby was born in less than 10 minutes of getting there. 🙂

Praying that all goes well and that you have the Lords peace to guide you as you wait..I know it seems like forever but Gods timing is perfect. Remember, He is the great deliverer of your baby! 😉 Keep us posted as I know that all of us here look forward to hearing how it goes.

Blessings to you and your little one.

When I was pregnant with my second daughter, I started having contractions 3 days before my due date. I was already dilated and effaced, so I knew once the contractions came, that I didn’t have much time. Well, they were about 15-20 minutes apart, when I realized that I had child care lined up for my little one and all my numbers and instructions ready for the big moment, but no milk, snacks, food, etc. in the house for my dd and my aunt who would be watching her.

So I hauled my contracting, 40 weeks pregnant body to good ole Wal-Mart to pick some stuff up. I stopped every few aisles to lean over the handle and have contractions, then I would carry on. Once, when I was hunched over doing my breathing, an emplyoee came up to me and asked if I was okay. I told her I was fine; the contractions were still far enough apart. Then she admonished me to hurry up so I wouldn’t have the baby in Wal-Mart. I just laughed and said I’d rather drag myself out to the curb in front of KFC and give birth than be known as the lady who gave birth in Wal-Mart! She gave me a funny look and walked on. It’s so strange the things that go through your head at that point in time, but all I knew was that there was no way I would have my baby in Wal-Mart!

Just so you know, I didn’t go into hard labor til the early morning hours, and my DD was born at 3 pm the following day. I was so glad I squeezed in those last few errands! Better be prepared than not, I always say!

Wishing you a blessed birth, Misty!

Thanks Heather. Has anyone heard from Misty? Has she had her baby yet?

Misty, I’ve been thinking about you. Were any of your other labors induced? I have experience on both ends, if you’ve never had an induced labor and if you’re interesed in knowing more. I pray that God brings your baby in HIS perfect timing and with HIS perfect peace.

Hugs!

All 4 of my kids were induced, so I feel your pain of wanting to wait on God’s timing, but if that doesn’t work, can’t it just be exactly on my time, not the doctors. (and yes I recognize the horrible nature of that run-on sentence.) My last one, I talked my doctor, who I worked with, into inducing me a couple days earlier than he wanted. Tanyn was not ready to be born and proceeded to lose weight and not thrive right away. Perfect example of not listening to God’s will, she’s fine now but I certainly learned a lesson. My husband is self-employed as well, we planned the delivery so that he could be off all weekend with us. My timing, not His. Praying for you and hoping that everything works out beautifully for you.
