Today is April 21st. My little girl was due on Friday, April 18th, but seems to be enjoying life inside the womb. I was 100% effaced and 3 cm dialated over a week ago, but obviously she is in no rush to be born as I am still carrying very high and haven't felt even 1 contraction.

My first daughter was born 6 weeks prematurely, so being this pregnant is uncharted territorry for me. I am sooooo thankful to have made it to full term this time, but I am ready to go!!!!

If anybody out there knows of any sure-fire ways to bring about labor, let me know (Yes, I have already tried the sex thing...)

:rolleyes2:

Not a mom, don't ask how I know this...

-Lots of walking.

-Sex (orgasm required!)

-Tweaking the nipples for a period of time, releases a hormone that thins out the cervix.

I am happy to report that I am no longer pregnant!

My baby girl, Avery, was finally born on Tuesday, April 22nd - complete with a police escort to the hospital... I guess the sex and hot wings the night before did the trick!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
