Ok I am really getting tired of just feeling straight up awful! Im thinking it time to have this baby. I want to feel normal again. I want to be able to do the things I was able to do before. I want to be able to see my toes, bend down comfortably, sleep through the night with out getting up to pee ever 5 seconds, and fit back into my cute clothes!
Now seriously. I have been told that sex can help kick labor into gear. Im just goning to throw it out there. If that was the case I would already have had this baby. Sex is not working. Ok sorry but its TMI time. for those of you who have been pregnant, was it hard for you to really enjoy doing the naughty when your so far along? I feel bad because I know Jared wants to and half the time now im just like uhg ok. Which has never been my response to him until now. My libido is just in hybernation I guess. I feel so bad because I dont want to make Jared feel like I dont want him or find him unattractive. That is DEFINITELY not the case. Its just hard to enjoy those acts when your baby squishes himself into your rib cage to escape being "poked". Its just painful. Poor Jared just got back from a 6 month long deployment and I feel like im letting him down. I am just so ready for things to go back to normal. I have also heard that spicy food can sometimes do it but I dont normally cook anything super spicy. My doctor told me walking can also induce labor. I guess I will pick that one back up after our Maternity shoot this weekend. I have to keep Ryder in there until Sunday at leased. I just have a lot of post pregnancy things to look forward too.
Let me tell you, I have been dying to have a Jamaican cowboy. Its a margarita with coconut and pineapple. Its sooooo yummy. It has just sucked going out with Jared or friends and constantly having to be the only sober one in a group of people. Now everyone knows im not a big drinker. I dont even normally socially drink. I just think after 9 months of being good, I deserve a little break!
Also my mom is coming down soon after Ryder is born and she is taking me shopping for some new clothes. I am dying for some Buckle jeans. I just want to look and feel cute again. Jared tells me constantly that im still the most gorgeous woman on the planet but I want to feel that way again. I feel like a float at the Thanksgiving day parade. Well im done complaining lol. But heck can you blame me! The last month is the worst. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

I used the full moon theory and it worked for me lol. Shortly after the full moon I went into labor with Jace. Everything else I tried didn't really work. When you start walking, do it up and down stairs. I know that sounds awful when you feel kinda like a whale, but I think that helped me a bit too.
ReplyDeleteWalk Walk Walk and Walk i am talking walk so much i cant walk no more and keep walking. Treadmill works best but thats about all i can say. and yes they say sex works, but really all it is is the sperm softens your cervix. And its just being pg no one wants to have sex when pg lol
ReplyDeleteIt won't be much longer Lauren and I am by no means know anything about pregnancy but walking sounds good to me. About the sex, well as long as it doesn't hurt you or the Baby it is a nice idea to have it, after all you two are Newlyweds!! So Lana is coming to see you soon, that is very nice, I am sure she will look forward to meeting her grandbaby. Hope you two will have a good time together and get a little closer again!! I am so glad that her business is doing so well and she has finally found a niche in her life by doing what she enjoys and making money with it. Nice Blog Lauren as usual, I just love to read them. Make sure you save all of them and one day you can make a book out of it.
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry to have to tell you this but you most likely will be past your due date. most first time mommies are. But when you do hit 40 weeks that is when sex will be a helpful. The Prostaglandins in his sperm will soften your cervix.also castor oil will help but be warned it is nasty. spicy food will just give acid reflux.

I hope thats not the case! My doctor said since I am having more Braxton Hicks contractions than I should, even though I am staying hydrated I may have him soon. But then again she said you never really know. As for the sex thing im just going to take it a day at a time and see how I feel. The libido is just not there right now sadly.
