I Think the Time is Near

I am due on 12/31/2006, and I have been experiencing the "normal discomforts". But this morning when I woke up, I had severe pain in my lower body. I almost couldn't get out of bed. I am also having a very hard time walking around. Basically every action that involves moving my hip hurts badly. My condition is so dramatically different from yesterday that I am getting really nervous. I wonder if this means I am going to have the baby soon!

it sounds like it to me too....make sure your bag is packed and you have warm socks...this mom of two thinks you are on your way to the hospital! Keep us posted! Good luck! :-D

Selene...Remember no matter what...we will be thinking of you!

Yeah! We are gonna be aunts and uncle! LOL

Selene...check the calendar and see when the moon last changed... a lot of women I know (myself included) went into labor within 24 hours of the moon changing.

Selene, you must be so excited! Make sure you keep us updated!

Sounds like you are close. If you don't want the baby coming till your husband gets back in two days you better take it easy. Activity helps labor go faster. Good luck.

Sounds like you may be.. keep us updated...

My hips always hurt the last few months of pregnancy.. to the point i couldnt get up or walk much....

Good luck Selene. Do you have a way to get to the hospital if you have to go before your husband gets back?
Selene N. Dec 27, 2006, 8:13pm EST
Thanks everyone!

Linda - Yes, my mom will be able to drive me to the hospital if needed. She has been practicing driving.

Susan - Yes.... I heard of the "full moon babies" thing. And it's true.... every full moon my hospital is packed and severely under-staffed..... I will go check the calender now.
Selene N. Dec 27, 2006, 8:17pm EST
Ok.... Just checked.... Supposedly the next full moon is on Jan 3rd, 2007..... We'll see!!

Selene...I'm getting excited for you! Isn't it funny how we come to "know and care" about our gather friends. It does sound like you are very close...maybe a little back labor going on there. I hope your husband makes it home in time...we will all be waiting!!!

Good Luck. Even though the process does involve pain, try to enjoy every minute of it. There are very few experiences as wonderful!
Tab B. Dec 28, 2006, 9:25am EST
Oooooh, I have goosebumps! Yeah! just take care of yourself, get plenty of rest (it will be hard to come by in a few days!) and keep us posted.
