I'm feeling the antsyness of the holidays and being pregnant at the same time. Also, tired of everyone asking me if I'm getting close yet( yea, I am 29 wks along..so no!) So please don't mind while I vent quickly..hopefully it will bring you some laughs!
Just like there are old wives tales for determining the gender of the baby, there are tales for how to get labor started. If youve made it to 39 weeks and havent had a baby yet, expect to start hearing them soon.
For some reason, the thought of an impending birth makes women think they have the right to tell you what to do to get things moving. I cant tell you how many times someone called me, insisting that their aunt drank castor oil before going into labor.
So, let me get this straightyou want me to have the runs?
Then theres the whole nipple stimulation thing. I had a friend that pumped her boobs one night and then went into labor a few hours later. So, when it was time for me to have my first child, out came the breast pump. I put it to the boob and pumped. Nothing happened. I pumped some more. I tweaked. I tweaked the right, then the left, then both. I tweaked up and then pumped down.
Still, nothing happened. I wanted to cry. I probably really did cry. The deal is this: I was scared to have a baby, but I was so tired of being pregnant that I would do anything to get it over with. But, when I actually went through with trying to start having the baby, nothing worked.
A lady I had just met asked me if I had tried sex. When is it acceptable to meet someone and say So, have you humped your husband recently?
NO.
I looked at her and rolled my eyes, stating that the carnal act would have to wait until a human being had exited my body. I dont know about you, but getting it on isnt very fun when a little persons head is firmly rammed into your crotch.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
Thanks for a good laugh.
ask kerry1234 how she feels about all those wives tales! she sat there trying it all for 6 or 7 days and the only thing that worked for her was making dinner plans! LOL
i love your style of venting. hope your day picks up!
" you wouldnt believe it but i sat there last night playing with my tits for hours and when i got sick of that i rode hubby like a bull, to no avail!"
see how the old biddies feel about the topic then!LOL
Have you had strangers run up to you and grab your stomach yet? That really pissed me off. I'm thinking of getting a T-shirt made this time around that says "Do Not Touch".
About that castor oil thing... my mother tried that when she was pregnant with my older brother. It did get labor started but she also had a bowel movement on the delivery table. Very embarrassing for her.
