I looked up doula. Is she? going to be with you during the delivery only or will she help also after the delivery?

It can't be much longer, can it?, that you have to wait?

^ A doula can do both......mine is going to be there while I labor, give birth and come by a few times after we come home to make sure we are settling in ok. After that....once the family leaves....I may look into a postpartium doula or mommies helper.....or heck even a maid temporary so my house doesn't get too dirty.....we will see!


Oh YES....and here is a belly shot....I just took it tonight.

Uff-da.

*BIG SMILE* You're ready!!!! I can tell.

lol @ CX I think?

anyways....here is what a doula does in a nutshell.

Thanks JT.......I'm only 33 weeks.....but I have started to feel huge these last few weeks!

My midwife says things are going well.....but I am measuring a little big, so she said next appoint so might have me go in for an ultrasound just to make sure she isn't growing too fast.

T'Sara, you look cute as a button.

Well, I don't know about Norwegian, but in Swedish we can say "usch då" (the "å" is pronounced like the French "-eau") for a similar meaning. Heh, funny that it has entered some regional vernacular across the pond.

Oh! My sister says that all the time. She used to live in Minnesota.

I hope you're not having twins, T'Sara! I was measuring big . . . because it was twins! And they kicked me out of the natural birthing program too! LOL

not dead. still pregnant.

Pithiest. Update. Ever.

When are you due? I don't think we can go by the avatar anymore.

I'm 38 weeks and have been having useless half-assed contractions for about 5 days now.

Braxton-Hicks, you mean?

Wishing you some hard-working serious contractions when it's best for Abigail.

Though it's hard to wish anyone contractions. <<Shudder>>
