So apparently I'm a good host for babies...so I keep getting told.

My stubborn little bugger is still not out at 42 weeks. I've been healthy, been exercising, no signs of lyme - although man going from 95 lbs to 143lbs is starting to kill my knees! Please send positive thoughts my way!

No one except my lyme fellows and fellas seem to understand my extreme apprehension about having to go to a hospital for anything and having to put my care in a doctors hands that I've never met. Not to mention, the drugs they are going to give me. I know, it is much better to be going to a hospital for having a baby then lyme, and this dr works with the birth center so he is more 'natural' friendly.

I promise I'll be thinking of all of you while I'm in there! I got through lyme so I'm sure I can get through this. I did have an inquisitive nurse ask me about the igenex kit and lyme so who knows..maybe I'll have a super easy birth and I can tell them compared to lyme having your hoo haa torn apart is a piece of cake lol. (wishful thinking).

I wish you ALL the best! Will be thinking of you. (I'm so very sure that you'll defend you and your baby very well).

Good luck!!!

yeah yeah yeah

Good luck Opugirl!! You will do fine - after all you are a Lyme Warrior.

I had a C-section so I can't speak about the hoo haa being torn apart...lol.

How exciting for you!!!!

Stay positive and relaxed - things I've learned from having two hard births. You'll do wonderful though!!! I know you will - and you can distract yourself by telling the horror stories from here and your own! LOL!

Tons of good wishes, positive thoughts, good vibes, toes and fingers crossed (makes it hard to walk, but what the heck!)

Even pregnant, I bet you could whoop those doc's butts! And in labor, you'll whoop them into shape!! LOL! Keep 'em honest and on their toes - if for no other reason than it will be entertaining!!

And you have to promise to share a picture of the little one!!!

Many, many hugs!!!

Good luck and Well Wishes to you, the baby and whole family! I hope you have an easy and safe delivery.

Wow Opugirl, best of luck! I am so excited for you!! I wish you a smooth birthing experience but if you need to scream and yell, just do it!

Many hugs and good wishes,
Denise

You and the baby are going to do great!!

Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Thinking of you! xo

You are a good host! LOL. My best wishes for a smooth delivery. I'm hoping he will start things on his own before you go, though. :) It sounds like you'll have a decent doctor, so don't worry about that.

I'm so excited for you and look forward to hearing how things went once you get some good rest and settle into your new life.

Congratulations to you and your family. May the delivery be quick and uneventful.

WOWEE! What a big event!!! I didn't even know you were pregnant. I guess I haven't been following very well.

Just be present to pain or whatever is going on, but try not to actually go into it, or focus on it too much. Do lots of deep abdominal breathing.

Of course, I've never had a baby, so who am I to say. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Margaret

Having some relaxing music really helps. Doing a mantra when the pain is intense helps too, but you probably won't see this before you go in. I never did scream or curse my husband, just squeezed his hand off.

Congratulations!! Hope all goes smoothly and the baby is healthy :)
Posted 1/16/2015 5:28 AM (GMT 0)
Congrats and good luck, my prayers are with you for a healthy baby and after-labor recovery :)

WOOOHOOO!!! DRUGS!!

Congratulations! I hope all went well.

Opugirl - you are getting the cord blood tested, right? Just to be sure?
