Waiting for the birth of our 3rd baby
I have 3 weeks to go until my due date but I’m already 1 1/2cm dilated and 80% effaced. I was induced with our last 2. First time due to toximia. 2nd time because I was already 3 cm dilated and I can’t feel contractions. This time I’m going to wait and see what happens. I’m very excited to feel how a real birth process starts. I delivered the last 2 naturally and I’m going to do the same with this baby. My body is just weird because during labor, I can’t feel contractions even when I’ve been induced with pitocin. I can somehow block the feeling and I won’t feel anything until the head comes out. Needless to say it makes delivering naturally easy. Now I’m excited to wait and see how labor will go and feel with this baby.
I’m back
It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted on my blog. A lot has happened since last time. I’m pregnant with our 3rd child who is due to be born very soon. It’s another boy for us and we are very excited. Our 3 1/2 year old daughter is waiting to take care of her baby brother and so is our soon to be 9-year old son. There are so many things that we still want to get done before the baby arrives including celebrating our son’s 9th Birthday a few weeks early. He wanted to have a slumber party so that’s what we are doing for him. Last year we did the same thing but this year we are doing it on a smaller scale. We had 20 kids spend the night last year which was fun but very crazy. This year the slumber party will be on a smaller scale with 5 children only. We are looking forward to it.
The last 2 children I’ve had on week 37 so I’m getting prepared with this baby as well. I was induced both times so I’m hoping that this time I get to experience going into labor naturally. Even though I was induced, I used no pain medication even when I was given pitocin. I wanted to experience natural deliveries and that’s what I got. I’m looking forward to this delivery as well.
