Hee...hee......

Oh I can't wait!!!

I agree with everyone's lists.......:thumbs_up

My water never broke either..........

Oh, how exciting! Best wishes and good luck and all that jazz Shana!
Did anyone say to take something for your husband to snack on? He'll get hungry depending on how long your labor is. The hospital always says they will have something for them - but don't count on it. Or he may not want to leave you, in which case, snacks in your bag will save his tummy and your sanity!

With my first, my water broke--not like the big splash, but a slow trickle. But several hours later my labor hadn't really started, so I was induced.

Second baby, I woke up 3 am with a funny pain. I had to pee really bad. All that day if I had to pee even a drop, it hurt like there was 5 gallons in there. It did that all day long, and by 10:00pm I started having regular contractions.

This is exciting. Let us know when the first one comes, and we'll start timing and send someone to boil water! :p

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, Im going to go pack my bag, just in case although Im starting to feel very doubtful it will happen very soon. I just dont think Im going to be that lucky

Shana so psyched. You definitely dropped your plug and had a bloody show. I think that bag should be packed and ready. The hospital usually suggests only bringing your stuff and then the day your to go home to have hubby bring the baby's going home outfit. Also have him get out the baby car seat and set up the base in the car so you won't be fumbling with it when the time comes. Note that the day he brings you home you have to have the car seat for the baby or the hospital gets a bit snippy.

My bag always included:

1) disposable camera

2) comfy pj's (nothing new and expensive because you tend to have a leak at times, make sure the pjs are comfy for nursing if your going to be doing that)

3) Socks and slippers (I am always freezing after I give birth)

4) Your own pads (they give you these damn boats in the hospital)

5) Lotion and your regular toiletries

6) Snacks (sometimes after you labor it's too late when your taken to your room and you feel peckish and can't get a thing to eat, good for hubby too while your laboring)

7) A list of folks you want to contact when your done

8) ****A girdle panty**** I know that this might sound weird to some but every time I have given birth that was a godsend. After delivering with the contractions of the uterus and while nursing you get a lot of cramping. That girdle panty and the snugness feels so good. It also helps to keep your pad in place nicely. I have recommended this to any one else I have known that was ready to give birth and they have told me how much it also helped.

9) Nursing bra (if that applies to you)

I'm so excited for you, Shana!!! Woohoo!! :) Keep us posted!!

OMG! When are you due!! How exciting!!!:D Im anxious for you!!!:p

Make sure hubby knows to wipe the white crude from your lips. Mine forgot and as I was wheeled down the hall I caught a glimps. Oh I coulda died.

The only thing that grossed my hubby out was when they broke my water and when I pushed I had a little accident. :rolleyes:

Looking forward to your posts. How exciting! Warmly, Deborah

I always spotted 12 hours before labor!! I hope this is it, the big day you have been waiting for!!!

If your spotting I bet you have her within 24-48 hours. Make sure you mention The bleeding to your OB, some bleeding may be caused by the placenta detaching from the uterine wall before or during labr, Are you feeling sick or having lose stools or cramping or any back pain yet? If you start bleeding more just make sure you give your doctor a call. Good Luck hun.

I just found this on the web.

Bleeding during late pregnancy
There are several causes for bleeding during late pregnancy. Sometimes bleeding can be a sign of normal labor; however, any time you experience bleeding during pregnancy you should call your doctor right away. Bleeding in late pregnancy can be a sign of problems with the placenta such as placenta previa or placental abruption.

So just to be on the safe side let your Dr know.

whooo hooo! Here comes Princess Tess!!!!

When are you due?

OMG.. this is so exciting:) i had my show that morning and had my daughter the next night;) Yahhh let the baby watch begin:p :p cant wait for updates.
