Life update

OK, so I'm 4 days overdue and slowly going insane. I know it's quite normal, especially for first pregnancies, but I'm SO on edge! I dare not go anywhere in case I go into labour! On the other hand, if I *don't* soon have baby, I'm going to find myself being induced. DO NOT WANT! I've heard enough horror stories about it to know it is NOT the best way to give birth.

I'm nervous too - change scares me a bit and you don't get changes much bigger than this! I just hope I cope well enough to be a decent parent. Sure, I have plans - but can you ever really plan the unknown?

I still miss writing, but it's still not happening. Probably because I have too much on my mind. At this rate my Yule fic will be done for *next* Christmas... I can't see me having much time after baby arrives!

Have finally read some of the secret santa fics... there were some excellent ones, I must say! Will leave some reviews if I get the chance.

Someone on a certain group (no one on my flist) has got my back up - again. I really should just avoid topics where she comments because I should know by now that I *will* be 'treated' to an opinion, even if I was commenting to someone else. *Mutter, mumble, growl*

My, aren't I just a bundle of fun today? /Sarcasam.

ok, here's a method that we were taught in massage school for inducing and increasing labor naturally. Between your pointer finger and thumb, rub that area, right in the spot before the joint. Got me? The triangle area before you meet bone, ok? We're told to avoid that area in giving massages to pregnant women since it causes uteran contractions. Also, on your inside heel massage.

Oh cool, I'll get hubby to do that for me! (He's absolutely desperate to 'help' lol) How long do you massage for?

Thankies!

as long as you want. I'm not sure on specifics for it cuz I've never had to do it. :P
