Pregnancy countdown!

Wait, what was that about Saturday? Are they planning to try and jumpstart things then, or what?

We'll talk about whether an induction or other options make sense once we see how big the beba is and where it's sitting.

Alright… we’ve still got plenty of time before Saturday. Let's keep our fingers crossed for everything going smoothly with the natural labor and delivery! 🎉

How big is the beba right now?

hiddenmarlin14 said:They won't decide then whether they're going with the induced route or just letting nature take its course. 🐔

What are they actually going to use to put them under anesthesia? 😲

Thanks 😘, we're rooting for you too 🎉
The beba is about 8 lbs now.

EDIT: oh man, Josh 😬

Grace Sanders24 said:What exactly would they use to put them in a medically induced coma? 😲

It’s not going to happen, don't worry, just breathe. 🙂

🙂 Stop typing such absolute nonsense on your keyboard 😠 🙂

Grace Anderson3 said:Looks like there's cucumber, avocado, and some kind of filling... not sure if it's cheese or something else 🤔

Fine, whatever works. Seems like everyone already jumped on it though—nothing's gonna be left 🕺

Well, my immediate reaction was that they just need to dance it out.🙂

Based on some checklists out there, I should have had a beba in my arms by now.

Here’s another acupressure technique to help get labor moving

Grace Anderson3, the baby isn't even that big yet; the weight is perfectly fine.

Just asking. I don't even recognize my own family anymore. 🕺

Yeah, they're at the perfect size right now. 👍

Grace Sanders24 said:I'm just asking. It's not like I've been through labor myself. 🕺

So you cried.
🙂

Grace Anderson3 said:Based on certain milestones, I really should have been holding my beba by now.

I honestly think we’ve all just fixated on this arbitrary deadline, even though there's no guarantee it's actually accurate. There was a time when people didn't track everything so precisely, and maybe women wouldn't feel this crushing weight of expectation on their shoulders.
The beba knows when it's ready.

Grace Sanders24, you’re such a mess on the forum tonight. You'll probably spend all night dreaming about being in labor, and then you'll actually go through with it—total disaster 🤣

hiddenmarlin14 said:Josh, you poor thing, you’re clearly having a rough night on the boards, so just wait until you're dreaming about being in labor only to actually give birth—it'll be a total disaster🤣

🤣🤣 just absolute chaos



and when we look at ourselves

Nicole Myers said:🤣🤣 it’s all just a big mess



and we're just sitting here watching it happen

🤣🤣

Nicole Myers said:I think we all just latched onto that date, even if it isn't actually right. Back in the day, nobody knew the exact timing, and women weren't under nearly as much pressure about it.
The baby knows.

Hans joked that since there wasn't a doctor around when the little guy was born, nobody can really pin down the exact date anyway. 😬

Baz 😂 😂

I wasn't crying. I was just maybe a little pissed that I had to leave the warmth. I remember slipping right out of the doctor's hands onto the floor.☕
