Sweet of you to still stop by and comment with all the stuff you're involved with right now.<BR/><BR/>My TCM practitioner was actually quite AWESOME at explaining things and making me comfortable. And you are BRAVE to be hooked up to that darn pulse thing. I refused to let it come within 10 ft of me. She never tried to set it up, but I always eyed it warily the whole time just in case I had to knock it out of her hand quick.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067045642285877560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-25555479121477127402008-05-12T09:02:00.000+10:002008-05-12T09:02:00.000+10:00I thought i has saw my mucus plug weeks before I d...I thought i has saw my mucus plug weeks before I delivered by I was wrong. It was just CM stuff. I went in to my OB on a Wedn and had my membranes stripped and went into labor Thurs. during the night. When I lost my mucus plug i knew it without a doubt. It was huge, thick and tanish. If you loose yours I think you will know it. <BR/>Hope the accupunture works for you. I would have tried that before stipping of membranes if I would have thought of it.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424867867454473982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-31504863427105184802008-05-12T02:15:00.000+10:002008-05-12T02:15:00.000+10:00Good luck choosing a name ... as for the mucous pl...Good luck choosing a name ... as for the mucous plug, you will know itwhen you see it ...

By now you may in labor, but I have to comment...I 100% believe that acupuncture is what sent me into labor. I went on a Monday and while I was there felt tons of movement when she turned the needles-no labor. I was told it could take more than one visit and got a little skeptical-I mean at this point couldn't labor just be coming on its own. So the next day I went again. This time she used the electrical device (which I also had when I was doing IUI). Within 2 hours of leaving the office I began having very strong and consistant 5 minute apart contractions. I am a beliver because prior to this I wasn't really having anything other than BH contractions.<BR/><BR/>I hope by now you've met your little one!!

It always seems like they're the ones that are late. My SIL was overdue by a week, and she decided to be induced. I guess it wasn't fun, but she didn't have any complications either (and called us at 3:00 in the morning last night to inform us that she'd given birth to a health boy). Not that I'm trying to recommend it, because I agree, it'd be best if it all went normally, but if things don't quite go the way you hope, it will still probably be fine.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799401502134619497noreply@blogger.com
