My wife Boupha, or as I call her "Bou" (I can call her Bou and not sound gehto because her name is Boupha), we were due 11/04/08, and the baby seem perfectly happy inside her. How do I get the little bugger to want to leave safely? we tried many things.... even brought out the secret weapon (you know... ummm we had "a romantic evening") what else should I try to get this thing out and in my arms?:roll:
try the other end.. maybe it will care it out the correct end??? ha ha we tried riding our motorcycle.. didnt help.. but it comes when it wants...
oh man good luck my wife is due on the 29th. Our last one was 1 week late and we had to induce her then it ended up being a c section. There really isn't some magical way when it happens it happens.
I'd try anything to avoid a c-section... but..... I don't think shed like that. Is there a rally cross coming this week end? if so I may need to barrow to helmets!!!!:laugh:
actualy.... tried it... she went and did all her sister laundry, dishes and ran up and down stairs, she went back to work, and one of her co-workers said "I have a friend who was late and she was told to go home and have intercource with her husband, and the next day they had a baby" so I asked "what is your friends husbands phone number?" my wife was not amused.
well you know you wanna be carefull... it is tough when she is like "that hurts" and "I can't lay like that" and the whole time your thinking "what if I.....(hurt the baby, or my wife?)":roll:
there is a pill that can be taken to help start the contraction also, don't do alot of heavy stuff, but walking around a lot does help.
When I want something out of me, I usually eat alot of wheat bread and celery. Oooh, and drink milk. Grip the toilet seat...it'll be like the Hulk ripping out of her pants.
here ya go I have no expierence in this but this might help http://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,5329,00.html
I'm due in April and I hear smoking and drinking leads to pre-term birth. It might be too late now, but you could try it. (just kidding of course)
well..stand infront of her with a menacing look in your eye with a bat in hand... Should scare her into labor LMAO
I'd prefer to "jiggle it out" I'm so hoping she calls me and tells me to come pick her up. And I hope she is telling me this between contractions,........ long painfull contractions.
CAN WE ALL GET TOGATHER AND SAY AN E-prayer for her? Dear God, Please let my baby out today, I am your humble servent in need of your hand. Please put my wife into labor soon as we cannot stand having this baby inside her anylonger. Please bring this baby into this world today and safely, guide the doctors hands and give me patiants and stamina to deal with my pregnant wife. Amen
don't rush it puts... just wait until the baby wants to come out, then the baby will. you'll enjoy her/him. just wait till you have to get up in the morning to feed the baby. ;P
well, to avoid nipple confusion my wife will have to breast feed for the first while! so I'm kinda free. however I maybe on diaper duty???? (I've only changed these on dogs)
Its not so bad on daiper duties. you get use to it. Waiting sucks as I'm also waiting now that my wife is at full term. Her due date is not till the 29th but she has already dialated. So I'm in the same boat it could be any day now.
YOU KNOW MY PAIN!!! The wife is about to blow, you just don't know when.:roll: I guess since this is the first pregnancy I've been through.... well it can be hard to understand that this is common.... I order parts all day everyday at my workplace. I know all about lead times, or ETA's or back orders, shipping methods, but I'm not prepared for this level of suspence. She is late and like any late vendor she needs to deliver!!!! I demand it! NDA the thing priority!!!! I WANT MY BABY!:laugh::laugh::laugh:
so many amusing responses to this thread try acupressure? diagram: http://acupuncture.rhizome.net.nz/acupressure/induce.aspx Hoku - This point can be found on the top of your hand in the webbing between your thumb and index finger. Press on an angle underneath the bone that connects with the index finger. To stimulate contractions, rub the point. This point can be used for pain relief with steady pressure during contractions. Spleen 6 - On the inside of the ankle, trace up four of mother's finger widths above the ankle bone. Rub for about 1 minute. Bladder 32 - This point is halfway between the dimple in the buttocks and the spine. You can find it by tracing up one of the mother's finger width's above the top of the buttocks crease. You should feel a small depression where the point lies. Tips on Finding Pressure Points Pressure points are naturally sensitive and feel to the mother like you are touching a bruise. Try the spot several times with varying pressure to find it. If your labor partner or doula is using the points, the mother can provide feedback when they have reached the right place since it will be more sensitive. If it is especially painful, ease up a bit on the pressure.
