congrats on the due date- of course I am hoping that I am just getting to this post as you are actually going into labor!

On the whole hemorrhoids- I was also a lucky one that avoided all pregnancy & post-partum as well. I have two words for the after delivery poops- dried fruit. Oh- and ask for stool softeners too... gross- but helps so much!

Good luck & you'll

Happy 40 weeks! I can't believe it's here already. Not sure about how it was for you (umm, the lady growing the baby and all), but it sure went by fast for me!

Loving the advice ladies - thank you!!!

And Birdee, for me, I'm going in thinking I want to be drug-free (maybe just gas). I'm well aware things might change once I'm in the heat of things, and I'm completely open to that, but I want to try drug-free.

Going to the half marathon thing, I ignorantly think while the pain will be significantly different, there&

2009-11-13T16:47:35.745-08:00

Wow! You officially made it all the way to the due date! Not long now...

I second the comment about the stool softener - at least for the first day or two. I never got hems, but I had a little tear that made anything going on down there incredibly painful.

My other advice? Get some nipple cream now - and start using it from the get-go!

I didn’t get hemorrhoids until I pushed his head through, I literally watched 3 burst out of my butt in a full length mirror they had propped beside the Doctor.

I'm curious, and maybe I missed it in past posts, but they say giving birth is like running a marathon.
So I wonder if you (Marathon runner) what kind of birth you plan (or prefer, we know we can't make plans) but

I had a 'roid free pregnancy- until the painkillers for my c/s. Now, as far as pissing myself and having to wear a Poise Pad to avoid that "nursing home fresh" smell- not so lucky.

I'm so excited for you Chicklet. Wishing you an ea...

I'm so excited for you Chicklet. Wishing you an easy wait to meet Tiny B and a safe and easy birth.

And since you mention pooping here, I will pass on the single most precious piece of advice I got from my doula about pooping postpartum - counterpressure on the perineum. Wet a washcloth with warm or cool water, whatever feels better for you, and apply counter pressure to your

I just had lunch with Nancy and we were wishing you well!

(And toasting your general awesomeness, of course. We did not duck into a Home Depot, however.)

2009-11-13T13:29:06.390-08:00

Exciting

I think expecting a late baby makes things easier, I expected to go a week over and was almost right making it to 40 weeks and 6 days. Family and friends were way more antsy than me. Oh and I never got hemorrhoids either, at least not that I know of, but I’m assuming that is the kind of thing one would notice.

Happy Due Date - @sswatch is nearly over and babywatch has begun!

Oh and I hate to say it but I was hemorrhoid free until the birth and post-partum!
