First off praise the Lord for new little blessing. As I read over your prayers for the delivery it sounded alot like me a few months ago. My 21 month old daughter was still nursing to sleep too. I opted for a homebirth and she was one of the main reasons. I couldn't bring her to the hospital and she's never been away from at night. I couldn't bare to be away from her. I love that you nursed through your pregnancy. I didn't pay it much attention at the time but looking back nursing Maggie while pregnant and after was such blessing. I even nursed her an hour or so after I gave birth to Emma. : ) Saddly she weaned about a month ago right after her 2nd birthday. <BR/><BR/>Sorry so long. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I actually thought it was just a rough exam but after reading up on it, I am pretty sure she stripped my membranes. She said that it would help get things started but it could be a few more days before I went into labor.<BR/>I was 4 on the "outside" when she did the exam and stripped membranes. The next day I was completely 4-5 cm at 2:30 pm. (I also walked mom around the city- 2 miles at least that morning).<BR/>I had been having mild contractions the day she stripped them and then after the exam I had mild bleeding and pain and all night my contractions were worse but I tried to ignore them. I had Olivia the next evening. I do think my body was gearing up before and that may have sped things along. But there was meconium in the water so I hope that did not cause stress. I am not sure if that can. Praying for you lots! :)IFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14854861452110790900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848782864498956777.post-48189165636002505932008-11-07T04:36:00.000-08:002008-11-07T04:36:00.000-08:00Thanks for the tips, Ivy!
