Ah, I had sinusitis for about a month in this pregnancy too. Got antibiotics in the end, which sorted it in a couple of days.

!!!!!
is there a plan to induce?
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Monday, 3 August 2009 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Well Sam worked her due date out as that Friday (24th), the hospital worked her due date out as Wednesday 29th. So by her reckoning she's 10 days over, by the hospital's she's 5 days over. She's got a midwife's appointment on Wednesday and I guess they'll decide then whether or not to induce.
― nate woolls, Monday, 3 August 2009 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Both mine were 10 days over so I feel your wife's pain! We tried all the usual: curry/pineapple/raspberry leaf tea/walking/sex/nipple stimulation. In the end it was a sweep that really got things moving.
― Meg (Meg Busset), Monday, 3 August 2009 19:32 (fifteen years ago) link
a little less than 3 months to go here. kid better not be overdue. this pregnancy has been so consistently painful and uncomfortable that i feel like im dying some kind of slow death. /whining
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 18:21 (fifteen years ago) link
We tried all the usual: curry/pineapple/raspberry leaf tea/walking/sex/nipple stimulation.
Haha...I *did not know* about nipple stimulation!
We think curry did it for us.
― Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 20:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Damn sex was what got us into the situation in the first place. Not doing that again.
― Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 20:42 (fifteen years ago) link
Ever.

Walking kicked it all off for me I think - late night (i.e. leaving at 11.30pm) trip to IKEA wandering round the whole thing, contractions started 4 hours later.
― Vicky, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 21:08 (fifteen years ago) link
my mom dragged me around a mall for FIVE HOURS and it did nothing!
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Still nothing. Sam's getting fed up now. Getting induced tomorrow.
― nate woolls, Monday, 10 August 2009 07:48 (fifteen years ago) link
wow. best of luck!
― tehresa, Monday, 10 August 2009 07:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Right about now I guess! Fingers crossed for you.
― Ned Trifle II, Monday, 10 August 2009 13:48 (fifteen years ago) link
excitement!
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Monday, 10 August 2009 16:57 (fifteen years ago) link
Our first one was induced, but the induction didn't take until almost 36 hours later, so we had a "wonderful" three days in the hospital waiting, walking, waiting, arguing about walking and waiting,.... We had to stay because they broke her water manually, and so she was "technically" in labor I guess despite having basically no contractions for about 20 hours after being admitted. At that point she was nearly 2 weeks overdue, so things got tense re. c-section (doctors sorta wanted to do it, we strongly didn't). #2 was induced too but was easier; #3 just popped out as I guess #3s are wont to do.

wheres that babby
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 16:37 (fifteen years ago) link
i had a dream last night that i started getting contractions so my mom took me to the hospital where all of my extended family were hanging out and getting high with their friends. the contractions went away and everyone got mad at me for making them go to the hospital under false pretenses. as payback, on the drive home my mom dropped me off in some dark alley in a strange city where i had no idea where i was or how to get back to the hospital. THANKS, MOM.
