[ErinandBaby]

@honey05ful Haha, I'll check her out. Congrats to your sister!

[Lillixful]

Found your channel last night... and watched all your video's :P Love you... you are very informative good personality and funny! Seem to be an all around good person and a Plus for me my body type was very close to yours so im kinda guessing i will be looking a lot like you in the end. I'm currently 21 weeks and 4 days. Congrats on your baby and i hope he comes soon for you!! :)

[ErinandBaby]

@Lillixful Aw, thank you so much! :) Congrats on your pregnancy. Are you going to make videos too?

[Lillixful]

@ErinandBaby I was thinking about it but, i don't think we have a video camera... and I'm more then half way threw my pregnancy already :P... We seem to have a lot in common btw... My husbands name is also David... he was born at 11 pounds big baby... I'm also having a boy and wanted to give him the name David for a middle name... Haven't picked a first yet.

[ErinandBaby]

@Lillixful That's so cool! I use my digital camera to make videos and you could always use a webcam! Well, let me know if you decide to make some. Congrats again and good luck with everything.

[NURSERYTIME]

I dont think he'll be too big so dont worry Im just happy for you that he's head down. There's a good chance that he'll be coming soon from ur vid since ur having contractions already. Congratz!

[ErinandBaby]

@NURSERYTIME I think he's going to be big but hopefully still small enough for me to have a vaginal birth. My fiance was almost 10 pounds so he might be taking after him, haha.

[cmtb8202]

using a breast pump helped me

[ErinandBaby]

@cmtb8202 It helped you go into labor?

[emorrell21]

dont freak out too much! its pretty common for them to be off about the weights...they estimated my daughter to be 5lb..and she came out at almost 8lb...wtf?!

[ErinandBaby]

@emorrell21 Haha, well hopefully he's not actually like 10 pounds.

[mmathes100]

I wanted to know if you are going to do a nursery tour video so we can see what the finish product is?

[ErinandBaby]

@mmathes100 Yep! As soon as it's done. Probably about a week or less.

[teenmommmy2011]

i tried the tea u were talking about i had to drink it cup after cup but it caused some for me. at my appointment i went in at 6cent 100% effaced! but not in labor yet so i asked my doctor if she could stretch me & walked around target that night i was in the hospital with strong contractions every 2 min but they stopped. ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO STRETCH YOU AND GO FOR A LONG WALK AFTER that worked the best for me. at 40 weeks i asked my doctor to break my water &had carter that night hang in there(;

[ErinandBaby]

@teenmommmy2011 Really? I freaking went food shopping last night and completely forgot to look for it. I'm gonna have to bug my fiance to take me out and get some today or tomorrow. Hopefully it works.

[teenmommmy2011]

@ErinandBaby yeah try it(: but my doctor stretching me is what really cause the strong contractions

[jonahj07]

I've heard eggplant parmesan can help induce labor! Apparently veggies in the nightshade family (eggplant & tomato) are good at that. :)

[ErinandBaby]

@jonahj07 Yeah, someone else actually told me that too! That's so weird. I don't really know how to make that but if we happen to go out to eat or something I might just order it.

[srheldr]

aw, yay for his head being down!!

[ErinandBaby]

@srheldr I know, I'm so excited. Hopefully he stays put! :)

[TheGirlygirl76]

Do you have your hospital bag ready? Will you be doing a video about what you're taking?

[ErinandBaby]

@TheGirlygirl76 It's not ready yet. Should be in about a week or less. I'll do a video on it once it's done :)

[shirley4sure]

thank you :) good luck to you too :D

[vocalgenius69]

My sister in law swore by raspberry leaf tea (and I've heard alot of people claim it works). I know for her however she went into labour so quickly they didn't even have time to grab the camera!

Best wishes Erin!

:)

[ErinandBaby]

@vocalgenius69 Oh wow! I've heard that from a few people so I'm definitely going to be trying it next time I go to the grocery store! Thanks so much.

[Shereezy87]

oh and i still think u will go early ;)

[ErinandBaby]

@Shereezy87 I hope so! :D

[Shereezy87]

I did walking but i also did lots of star jumps and jumping up and down on the spot. i also even went running! and i went into labor later that night :) haha when u said What ever at the end u sounded aussie haha

[ErinandBaby]

@Shereezy87 HAHA, I do accents all the time. My fiance and I probably talk in accents more than our real voices. I've been walking but I'll try jumping! :)

[TeamJamexican]

I am getting so excited for you! :) Almost time! :)

[ErinandBaby]

@TeamJamexican YAY :)

[shirley4sure]

I'm glad to hear that he's head down :) Today I went to the doctor today and she was like "you're 3cm dialated, her head is really low" my legs got all weak. I am so nervous she said that I might have her within these day. I don't have any tricks to induce labor but I hope something works for you because I want her out as well haha.

[ErinandBaby]

@shirley4sure Aw, yay. Good luck!

[gandeeheather]

Something that works to soften the cervix and "induce" labor.......have sex!!!

[ErinandBaby]

@gandeeheather Haha, okay thanks.

[ErinandBaby]

@makeupfashionbeautyy Oh wow. Yeah that's true. I'm pretty sure he'll be big though because all my weight gain is from him and the doctor thinks he's big too.

[TorisMummy]

*go*

[TorisMummy]

Not too long to do!!!!! So excited to see that baby :) :)

[ErinandBaby]

@TorisMummy I know! :) So excited.

[ErinandBaby]

@TorisMummy I know! :) So excited.

[ErinandBaby]

@makeupfashionbeautyy Oh wow. Was that by ultrasound or just done by the OBGYN?

[Jussdoinme]

You should get some maternity pictures first!

[ErinandBaby]

@Jussdoinme I'm probably not going to get any done. I love them but I'd rather spend the money on the baby or for other things.

[LilliaNnEthansMommy]

Don't worry about size...I had 3 weeks left and they told me my daughter was 8pounds 8 oz give or take a pound...3 weeks later when she was born she was 7pounds 14 oz.

[ErinandBaby]

@LilliaNnEthansMommy Yeah, I hear it can go either way. A few of my friends had their babies and they were bigger than estimated.

[MsLemonade74]

Lots of walking, lunges, swimming, sex...

Good luck to you!! You guys are sooo cute!

[ErinandBaby]

@MsLemonade74 Thank you! :D

[PinkJuicee01]

squats will help him drop, nipple stimulations really really work especially if you do them in the shower with the hot water on your body and when contractions start to ease up do them again. i heard if you drive fast over speedbumps and things like that your water will break. good luck girl

[ErinandBaby]

@PinkJuicee01 Thank you! I've been making sure we go over speed bumps every time we're in the car, haha.

[AvaMyaMomma]

Im new to ur channell and u and ur husband crack me up u guys are so cute!! Cant wait to c ur lil boy!!!

[ErinandBaby]

@AvaMyaMomma Aw, thank you! :)

[brooklynnA10]

you should do a tutorial on how you do your hair!

[ErinandBaby]

@brooklynnA10 I will! :)

[Nattc86]

I am 37 weeks and 6 day pregnant now, and I so can't wait for him to come out. I just started feeling contractions 3 days ago that were 2-5 minutes apart, but its now at 20-30 minutes after a few hours, so I think it was my body preparing for labor. Last night I started getting contractions again ever 3 minutes and again its now every 10-20 minutes. I hope I go in soon. I am ready. So basically you may start feeling contractions sometime this week. Good luck.

[ErinandBaby]

@Nattc86 Yeah, you could go into labor soon! Good luck.

[amandad0108]

Yay you're almost there! I've been so behind on your videos! I started bouncing on an exercise ball at 37 weeks, and I would sit on it all the time instead of sitting on the couch. At my appt at 37 weeks I was 1 cm dilated. The night before I went into labor everyone would tell me "It doesn't look like you've dropped yet, could be a while" lol. I had her at 38 wks 5 days. So I don't know if the exercise ball helped or not, but that's all I did to try to induce labor. Well... that and sex haha

[ErinandBaby]

@amandad0108 Really? I've been meaning to get an exercise ball but I forget every time I'm in the store. :/ I'll try to remember to pick one up next time I'm out at Walmart or something. Thanks! :)

[BePositiveBeHopeful]

i got an ultrasound the day i got induced & she was estimated to be 7 pounds and like 14 ounces and she came out 8 pounds 7 ounces. Walking alot helped me. I also ran up stairs lol

[ErinandBaby]

@BePositiveBeHopeful Oh crap, hahaha. Yeah, I live on the third floor of my apartment complex so stairs are an every day thing for me :)

[MissMaxine91]

OMG your so big!!!! :) awwww anyday now the baby can come!!!!! :)

[ErinandBaby]

@MissMaxine91 YESYES :)

[MissMaxine91]

@ErinandBaby : )) good luck sweetie!! 

[ErinandBaby]

@MissMaxine91 Thanks!

[MissMaxine91]

@ErinandBaby anytime! :))

[ryeleigh82]

k for me my due date was feb 16th so on the night of feb 15th i went for the bumpiest ride on a really bumpy road then i ate mexican chilli chips and tiger ice cream ( black licorice is supposed to help get things moving) anyways my water broke 630am on the 16th :) and my baby was born on the evening of the 17th lol so try a bumpy car ride, spicy food and black licorice :)

[ErinandBaby]

@ryeleigh82 Oh wow. I've been making my fiance go over speed bumps every time we're in the car. I HAAAATE licorice but I'll try to have some if I see it in the store. Thanks :)

[Fellbra10]

This is crazyyy, your baby is going to be here so soon! A healthy little baby could be here any minute now - this is so exciting! Haha :)

[ErinandBaby]

@Fellbra10 I know! :) I'm so excited.

[xaviour2345]

blowing ballons is ment to be good lol

[ErinandBaby]

@xaviour2345 HAHA, what the heck? If I come across some balloons I'll try!

[MaMaRobynBird]

Aww, so close!! How exciting!!

[ErinandBaby]

@MaMaRobynBird I know! :) I can't wait.

[datSOUTHOchick]

"Today's Monday right?" 'Uhhhh... yes!' Lol that is me and my husband, just like that. ^_^

[ErinandBaby]

@datSOUTHOchick HAHA, I swear I never know what day it is.

[ImMommaRuss]

here in cali some midwives give a tea called manzanilla tea because its all herbal, that is only to be drank when you are full term. It starts contractions and soothes the stomach at the same time... but has caffine so you should not have more then 4 cups a day... hope this helps (sold by the mexican spice and baged spice area in a store looks like it has white flowers in it)

[ErinandBaby]

@ImMommaRuss Oh nice! Thanks so much. I'll keep an eye out for it! :)

[andiecassis]

@ImMommaRuss camomille in english

[TheMommaterry]

Caster oil works momma it made me have kenzie the next day. Lol

[ErinandBaby]

@TheMommaterry I've heard so many instances where it did nothing but put people on the toilet for hours :/ I'd rather just wait, haha. It only works if your body and baby is ready for labor which other things do too. So I think I'll try other things first LOL.

[1990vm]

omgossshh sooo excited for you!!!! love you vlogs...ur face expressions are super funny and cute:D lol WALK ALOT!!! thats what did the trick with my girl :) p.s i hope he has your eyes!!!!

[ErinandBaby]

@1990vm Aw, thank you! :) I am walking a lot. I know that one is one that actually helps your body. My fiance has really nice eyes too so I'd be happy with either. His are like bright green.

[IFireandIce]

I was 10lbs 11oz. I was too big for my moms birth canal. They had to c-section me after being induced, and being in labor for over 36 hours.

[ErinandBaby]

@IFireandIce Hopefully he's not too big for that.

[hithere00000]

Eat at cracker barrel. I work at one and our regular customers who have given birth most say that was the last meal

[ErinandBaby]

@hithere00000 HAHA, aw. I don't have any around me.

[PrettyLittleLiar98]

My first baby was 10.3 pounds. I'm getting an ultrasound at 36 weeks to see how big he is. If he's getting to big I'm going to get induced before 40 weeks. I'm surprised they didn't talk to you about getting induced early since he is so big. I almost had to have a C section with my first because of his size.

[ErinandBaby]

@PrettyLittleLiar98 Well my doctors appointment was before the ultrasound. I'm going to talk to them about it next week at my 38 week appointment.

[lexiandcamden]

Don't worry about 'dropping' i was in labor almost at 8cm, and still had not dropped. but i was 2 days over due woke up at 1230 am to eat had a bowl of rice with A1 sauce and went into labor at 4 am. :o) haha i've also heard dancing will do it so try it out!

[ErinandBaby]

@lexiandcamden HAHA! Okay, thank you :)

[Supa7fresh]

Goodluck! Hope he comes soon! You and your bf/hubby/fiancé sound really sweet btw :)

[ErinandBaby]

@Supa7fresh Thank you! :)

[Amyrachel1991]

I heard speed bumps or loud music lol. Goodluck

[ErinandBaby]

@Amyrachel1991 HAHA, we did both today! Thanks! :)

[AliJaeJR]

Your spirits seem high in this video... its exciting that your so close to meeting this little miracle that's been growing in you. Gods amazing. When do you plan on doing the nursery tour?

[ErinandBaby]

@AliJaeJR I was super excited he was head down and it was nice to have an ultrasound after not having one since 18 weeks. :) I'll probably do it sometime this week or next. We still have a few things to do. :/

[tapdatash]

Sex and semen. Licorice. Eggplant parmesan. Pineapple. aaaaaaaaaaaaaand he'll come when he's ready ;) Most of those things don't work unless he's ready and you get lucky. Tee hee.

[ErinandBaby]

@tapdatash EGGPLANT PARM!? Hahahaha, what the heck. And I know. I might as well try though! ;)

[tapdatash]

Those freaking estimates are so wonky! hehe, Jackson was estimated at 8lbs and............... he was 9lbs 12oz -___- almost a 10lb baby. Eep! and I'm SO EXCITE D THAT HE IS HEAD DOWN NOW! YAAAAAAAAAAY!

[ErinandBaby]

@tapdatash Well that's what they said he is now. He's gonna be freaking 389 lbs at birth. I knew he'd be bigger anyway. Chubby babies are way cuter. ;) Did they say he was 8lbs when you were 40 weeks?

[meaghanandbaby]

Did you get ultrasound pictures?

[ErinandBaby]

@meaghanandbaby Nope :/ The printer was broken or something. He was facing towards my back anyway.

[kitq89]

They were way off with guessing weight on my sisters first bubba. They thought bub wasn't getting enough nutrients and was going to be small. Lmao well she came out 9 lbs 9 ounces! Best of luck with bubby you look very glowy and happy in this video :)

[ErinandBaby]

@kitq89 Well it was estimated by the ultrasound, not just by them feeling around. Thank you!

[mimi6211]

rasberry tea,cinnamon tea, dates r good in last month of pregnancy :) i m 34 week preg and measure 3 week ahead and it means my baby is gonna be healthy 2 so good luck:)

[ErinandBaby]

@mimi6211 Thanks so much! :) I'll try them all.

[crazybooklover11]

[ErinandBaby]

@crazybooklover11 Aw, thanks! Thank you so much for watching :)
