Where does everybody think I'm going? I'll keep practicing and teaching until the little papoose comes out. Everyone says exercise helps to bring on labor, so I am all over it. I can only imagine that yoga is even better.
Just this week I have been struggling to get my head to my knee in the
final janushirasana. My uterus starts contracting and I can't get the
big bulge out of the way enough to touch it and keep breathing. I am
just doing my best (if you can you must, if you can't, try, right?),
although it makes me laugh everytime I attempt it.
I've got a little more room to eat and less heartburn this week, so I
think she's making her way down into my pelvis. What a nice relief to
be able to eat most of my dinner without wanting to throw it back up.
At this point, any sign is a good sign that things are progressing.
I've heard everything to get the baby ready to come out: walking, yoga,
a bumpy ride, a cheeseburger and a beer, sex, a hot bath, lifting heavy
furniture, walking up stairs. I've tried as many as were reasonable,
but no baby yet! She's a Scorpio...
