Big shoulders definitely make for a harder delivery. 
In my case my 10lbs 8ozer was by far the hardest delivery, no question. But, like I said, that was more due to the big shoulders than the overall size I'm sure. My first 3 were all around 8lbs.

Thanks all who offered verses and mantras! Smootches, those are some great verses and lots of 'em!
Tonight putting my DS to bed I gave him his kisses and zerberts and hugs and then went to leave and suddenly he jumped up and kissed my belly. He is anxious for baby to come too. He thinks it's a boy, so does my hubby. I'm not sure at all. My DD will point to my belly and make the sign for "baby" sometimes. It was rather amazing the first time she did it.

There were 4 women at my church due from April to July of this year. 2 have already had girls and the woman due in July is having a girl. David will be the only boy.

At least there are other babies in the church! When Nadia was born, she was the only one, for like four years. There were so many grabby hands for her.....

I have had that tea Maggie recommended for several days now. I love it. I can drink it without sweetener, which is really nice, I put honey in it and that is really good, but I am trying to avoid unneeded calories. I've noticed it does help with water retention. I'm just drinking one cup a day. I wish I could drink more. I love the stuff. Just thought I'd post about it.

I should say that, it makes you go to the bathroom a lot!! That could be the water retention coming out. IF you KWIM? I don't mind though, rather have it outta me than in.

I use an exercise ball right now that is actually one size up from the recommended ball based on my height. I think my legs are longer than they think for what my height is so my knees were too bent on the smaller one. And it's not slimy at all.. unless you mean when you are on it in labor? ya.. that might be ... interesting texture.
I LOVE MY BALL. I used to use it just to sit at the computer and stretch with but man o man it feels NICE to sit on it now all pregnant and huge-O.
I saw a video where they had a ball in L&D and they put a Chux pad on it. Looked good to me. It's coming with us to labor just in case theirs are all being used.
I ordered some tea today from the herbal place Maggie linked to, went ahead and got the Milk one too, but won't use until she's here.

Has anyone used a beanbag-type thing to labour on? They have them in the labour rooms at our hospital and I'd never seen them referred to in any of the books, web sites or threads I've looked at on labouring and birth.

Never heard of a beanbag- must be something new.

LOL! Emily, I was thinking the same thing. One might pop the baby out just trying to get out of the beanbag chair!!

I have worked with moms who have used Hypnobabies and they had great success. I would recommend using it with a doula ONLY if the doula is familiar with being a hypnodoula.

I dunno, I have trouble with hypnotism at all. I guess I would have to research it more. I don't know if it's 'kosher' ya know?
