ok im like 14 and i have no freakin clue how i got to this vid i mean i started off watching vids about greys anatomy then all of u sudden im watchin vids about pregnant woman and im kinda interested i hate how youtube can do that to u
Keep your head up. Easier said then done i know! But when your girl is here you won't think about this anymore! By the way we tried everything too to get labor started and all the wifes tales didn't work either. Good luck and hang in there!
I know what you mean about getting down about it! My due date was yesterday and its so depressing to know that he should be here already. Keep your chin up! and your bump is super cute!!
I'm no.2 of 5, none of us were before 40 weeks. My younger sister was 2 weeks over! Mum had to be induced with all of us, except my older sister, and even then she still needed her waters broken for her.
Yes, they are real that's what makes them unique. Hope your feeling better. Quick question about the Cloth nappys you make. (The ones with the PUL and micro fleece) Where do you get your material from online? Also, is the Darling diapers the only patterns you've used? Thanks
My speakers were too low for this video:) so sorry i didnt hear all of it. If you havent tried a membrane sweep, i reccomend asking your doc about it. I went into labor 2 days after my doc did this, at 39 weeks. Good luck Grace, Any day or minute now!!
ok, you have a little little belly, it's o cute, my belly was herendous. lol. but i loved it. your almost there and then you'll miss that baby bump. can't wait to see little miss missy.
Hey Grace... this is off topic, but I was wondering what kind of sewing machine you have? I've been interested in making my daughters clothing, but want to make sure I get a good quality machine. What do you recommend?
I have a Janome DC 3050, it was about $500 i think. Its good but I know you can get ones way better (and also way worse), i'd say mine is the middle of the line. I couldn't really recommend any other one coz I have only had 2 sewing machines, a really cheap one to begin with and then this one. I haven't had any problems with it and I can always ring up Janome and they help me through things if I'm having any trouble.
good luck!! I know exactly what you are feeling with the anxiety of "is this the day" hopes. with the nipple stimulation you have to keep it up hourly. so 10 to 20 min every hour. that is eventually what worked to get my labor started. if you start to have contractions take the pump off during the contraction but put it back on after. once your contractions get to a good pattern you can stop the pumping and focus on being in labor. i hope she comes soon!! good luck

I check youtube almost every day, to see if you have loaded another video.... wondering if you have had your little girl! I'm thinking of you, and hope that your little bubba decides to come out to meet you soon. My friend had a beautiful baby boy yesterday and i can't wait to fly to Brisbane to meet him. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon. The worst thing about being pregnant and with a flu/cold is not being able to take any relief remedies! Take care.
Are you planning a homebirth? I was due 5.22.09 so exactly a year ago I was feeling the same as you :) watching brings back sooooooo many memories :)
HA ha, yeh I went through this same thing with the first pregnancy and had some high idea that it wasn't going to happen to me again...but her I am :)
I wish I was having a homebirth, they cost quite alot of money here (and hubby isn't to into HB's), whereas if I go to the hospital, its free. But I am giving birth in the hospital birth centre, so more of a homely enviroment and I am hoping to have a water birth as they have those facilities.
I wish I could give you a tip, but my bab was really late! Looking at you reminds me so much of those last pregnant days, if I dropped something I'd just sigh since I couldn't pick things up or even remove my own shoes! I suggest finding a great novel and concentrating on that.
Take care and hope to see you with new bab soon :)
MMmmm a novel, why did I not think of that?? Silly me, I'm sure I have a book here that I would like to read, thanks, I'm going to go to my bookshelf right now.
Hang in there Grace! I'll be praying for you the next couple days! I hope you can get over that chest cold soon, that's hard when you're already feeling run down. Take care!
I am definatley feeling run down, its not fun being heavily pregnant and sick, my cough has got worse, I thought maybe my waters might break from all the coughing :) Prayers are much appreciated, thank you.
Hello, I have been watching your videos for about a week and love them. I started watching them for the cloth diaper making. I wish you and the baby well and I'll be thinking of you this week. Thanks for all the videos keepem coming!
I have been watching your videos for about a week and love them. You give some great advice and insight. I first watched for the cloth diaper making because I am wanting to make my own too. Thanks for making your videos and I hope everything goes well for you and the baby. I'll be thinking of you this week. Keep making the video!.
you are such a great mom! lacey not doing so well on the toilet anymore is definitely common, as I have potty trained MANY kids. Good sign she is almost fully potty trained for good, she will go right back to using the potty more. I think you trust your instincts and thats always the most important thing. I keep hearing when you least expect it bub will come, im due june2. Im growing so big everyday.
@brandi384 You never know, you might have your baby befoer me!! lol.
Yeh, I'm not going to get all upset coz she has stopped using the potty, I just offer it and don't make a big fuss, I know she'll be able to do it herself soon so I'll just follow my instincts, they haven't led me astray yet :)
I think thats great you are doing all cloth diapers, thats pretty rare these days! I have been putting my son on the potty and it seems like its harder with boys. My son wont keep his weenie behind the shield! He will stick his feet up on the seat and pull it out so I have to constantly be making sure he is where he is supposed to be so he doesnt pee on the floor. Good luck with the birth, I hope you get the energy.
I hope I get some more energy too as I am so tired at the moment I don't think I could go through the labour and birth, but we have amazing bodies and I'm sure it'd work some way.
@TheGraceDiaries I think our bodies store extra energy for the time we are going to be in labor..part of preparing :) Good luck and cant wait to see her! I hope everything goes well.
Ha! ha! I checked your page last night thinking maybe bubbs had arrived! I wasn't on the computer for a couple of days and figured I had missed it! But--here you are! Well---I went at least a week late with ALL my babies! One---19 days late!! So--hang in there!
I don't understand the concept of having baby early like a LOT of girls on here seem to??
19 days late?!? Wow, sometimes I wonder if I will ever go into labour or she is just going to stay in there forever :) Yeh, I see so many of the preggers girls going before 40 weeks and it got me excited thinking I might go early too...not likley.
Thas so cool, you must have really strong stomach muscles or ive never seen a pregnant woman suck in her pregnant belly, lol. I hope the baby comes here soon and i hope you are well rested to push her out quickly!
OMG! I thought for sure you would have had that baby! I was so shocked to see another pregnancy video. I hope you feel good and don;t worry she can't go to school in there! She will be worth the wait.
not long now Grace!! she cant stay in forever!!! You poor thing I know its the worst waiting for that baby. I was induced with my daughter because i was in pre labor for two weeks and nothing! I think the worst part of pregnancy is the last two weeks when your waiting waiting for that baby!! good luck! FXFXFXF
Its strange to think that When you have a c-section like I did that the baby is out two weeks ago. When I held my two week old I could not imagen that big thing in my tummy still. I think youll go tomorrow. Lets hope. All the bestx
Yes that is SO true, I have friends who were due at the same time as me and they have already had their babies weeks ago and I am still here with the bub still in there.
i gave up towards the end too! nothing i was trying was working! i think the day i gave in and accepted that she will come ween shes ready, i went into labor the next morning :) it was the day i turned 40 weeks 6 days and she was born at exactly 41 weeks! i cant wait to see her in your arms in a video and to hear her name! i just am so excited for you! i hope you labor goes well and good luck :)
Thanks, it still is really hard to give in and accept it, I say it but then deep inside I am down that she hasn't arrived yet. I just gotta be patient.
loooool i love how you sucked it in, haha soooo cute!! that made me laugh sooo much, congrats on the baby i'm sure he/she is grown by now :)
