So excited for you....getting so close!

[thebubblelush]

@klowber Thanks!! It's getting really close. My mom has been joking about her being born on our anniversary and then today we made dinner reservations for our anniversary because it's NEXT WEEK. crazy! And kindof intimidating. :)

Obviously these women haven't watched any of your videos.. because if they did they'd know that you know what is best! You are working so closely with your doctors plus you are the queen of research! haha

[thebubblelush]

@HopefulLadie I always know that it's someone that hasn't watched many of my videos, because if they knew me at all, they'd know I wouldn't do anything to put her in jeopardy. :)

Your husband looks like Paul Rudd :)

SO SO CLOSE!!!!!!! I had Henry at 38 weeks! She could be here any day now!!!!!

raspberry leaf tea helps bring on labour.. I looove that stuff.. it also helps shorten labours... and tastes yummy aswell. Ive had three babies and I drank loads of the stuff.. you will probably find your fundle hight will drop a little soon when she engages :) My little girls name is Hannah as well, but shes a not so little anymore (shes 7) she use to try to kick the monitor off everytime.. my partner had to hold it on and kinda chase her with it. All the best xxooxooxx

Carla, I can't stand it when people make comments regarding ones decision that's best for them and their family. I truly believe you are doing wonderfully and what's best for you and Hannah. I know we are incredibly excited for you regarding her upcoming arrival. Oh, and regarding weightloss. Most women do lose weight in the last few weeks of pregnancy. I know with me, I lost 8 lbs within four weeks of Patrick's due date. I think you look fantastic!!!!! Keep up the great work, mama!!!

Excited for you cannot wait to see your little bundle of joy. Remember soon you will be holding your little one and all else will melt away. Best wishes for you :)

[edaj84]

normally I would agree with people about wait for as long as the baby needs BUT, this is not a normal situation and therefore normal procedure is not what is best. You are now full term and it only makes sense that given the risks it is preferable to begin trying to induce as naturally as possile as early as possible (ie 37 weeks)

[Foxycyclegoddess]

Acupuncture for induction is great to start early only because it CAN (not always) take a few weeks for it to really work. :-) Also Evening Primrose Oil might help but ask your midwife about that first. As you know a c-section is more dangerous than most people think and I think it's great that you’re doing everything you can to get your baby to come early and safely :-) I suggest Castor oil as a last result :-) Your awesome Carla and you’re going to be a fantastic mom yay!

[neknakify]

Congratulations on reaching full term! You do what you think is best for you both. Don't listen to people like that. I've heard that reflexology can help naturally induce, if that's helpful at all.

[JessC00k]

YAY full term! You are adorable as always!

ohhh sooo love that hat!!!
