Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling: Similar to amniocentesis. A needle is inserted into the mother's abdominal wall and through the uterus, but is also inserted into the umbilical cord at the base of the placenta. Blood is drawn for diagnostic purposes.

ESD---don't get exited when you here this term...you can't run to the bar for one!!!
(what the heck am I doing ...reading prego terms???)
These "practice" contractions occur at various times during pregnancy, but can increase in intensity during your last month. They happen at random and are typically not painful. They do not dilate the cervix as "real" contractions do.
i've been having those stupid braxtion hicks things for months now off and on. What I was having yesterday was waaay different and were painful. Yes, i've dilated to a 3 - 4 cm and 80% effaced. So she's definitely coming sometime soon.
You're beginning to scare me Kitch with reading preggo terms.
hey digger dawg how are you feeling? My favorite feeling was taking a bath and sitting in the tub letting all the water drain out and feeling the gravity.....you never know the gravity could move things along......
I wish our tub was bigger... it's one of those really tiny things where if you are taller than 4' your knees are up by your ears. Good idea though, I know the warm showers are really feeling good lately.
These stupid energy bursts have got to go!! I would much rather be sleeping right now than bouncing all over this house. I feel like i've drank a 1,000 cups of caribou coffe the high octane stuff. It would be great if I could actually do something with all this energy, but with my back i'm really limited and it's driving me freakin' nuts!!!! ugh!!
I wonder if animals can sense when labor begins... my dogs, especially my old boy (who's been my baby for his whole life) has been acting really goofy since yesterday afternoon.
I know!! I wish I could bottle all this extra energy for anytime in the future.
can ya believe it .... I was actually sleeping for once... so far logged 4 1/2 hrs tonight, think i'll take a nap after I eat breakfast and feed the doggies. I've just been exhausted the past couple of days and actually getting some sleep.
Could it be a sign?? naw - I doubt it !! Nothing else has worked....
Looks like Me2 lost the pool... today is ClueMasters day....
I hate to say it but... what the H- E- double toothpicks is the doctor waiting for? why arn't they inducing? 8 1/2 ouchy pounds?!!! and dialated and 80% efaced? INDUCE already!! geesh, my doctor induced at 6 lbs 9 oz!!!and no dialation or efacement!

You have all the energy now, and then Isabella will come, and you'll wish you could have stockpiled that energy ;)
I thought you would have had her by now....
