[essnce629]

Oh Rosie I'm so sorry to hear the news about your DH's job loss. I really hope you have family and friends you can lean on during this extremely difficult times. I would surely miss you as I look out for your posts and was in the earliest TTC groups with you since 2013. I'm sending you lots of positive vibes your way. It can only get better from here.

[BlessedMomma]

I came on here to look for an update on you rosie
You were the first to encourage me when I didn't think I would feel symptoms at 3dpo. Sure enough I was pregnant that month. I was heart broken when I learned of your losses. I'm so sorry you are going through such a trying time especially now that you are expecting your rainbow baby. You will most certainly be missed. I really hope to read a positive update on you if you choose to come back. All the hugs being sent to you.

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Pretty sad around here. I wish the best for you Rosie and can't imagine that things won't turn up. Try relax- be strong- this will pass.
I am keeping this as my mantra as I support my mom through chemo/radiation, surgery and more chemo. This next year will be trying but amidst it all I just know that things will work out.



[emoji178]

[kitkat18]

2 boys what a hard time for you, my thoughts are with you, your mom and your family. Your mantra sounds like a really good way to cope with a very difficult situation.
Rosie!! I can't believe you think we would forget you, we were TTC about the same time and I too was devasted to hear of your miscarriages and so happy to learn of this pregnancy. I'm sure something will work out for DH but it sounds like a very stressful time for you big hugs Xxxx

[atomic sagebrush]

Just hopping on to say i prob wont be around anymore...not that anyone would notice. My husband lost his job and we are homeless now so I will be focusing on that.

Oh no I'm so sorry to read this - I can't keep up with the support threads just happened to see this. Sending prayers and PT, please update us when you can.

[keepthefaith]

Hello everyone, not been on for a while though looks like place been quite quiet! Rosie if you're reading hope things working out for you ok.
Well I'm 34 weeks today and can't believe I'm in final few weeks before baby! From the sway to now seems really quick in a way and I still smile so much when I remember we have a little princess in the oven lol. My friends threw me a lite pink baby shower on Friday and gave me a lovely pink basket full of baby girl things, it made it all so real and I was so touched!
I'm back at hospital on Tuesday for a growth scan and looking like might need weekly scans if baby still measuring a bit small, Will know more after scan this week. I should have been getting scans regularly all along but thanks to an incompetent midwife my last one was ten weeks ago. I will be very upset if I go Tuesday and something is not right and I could have been weeks ago. Anyway roll on Tuesday till I see more.
Think we have everything ready for baby now except haven't built up pram, it's at my mums for superstitious reasons lol.
Are you all getting prepared? It's so much fun! Definitely enjoying it more this time as I know this is definitely my last!
Oh also have arranged a newborn baby shoot to get photos taken in first 14 days, can't wait!! Xxxx

KTF,

I also can't believe I'm in the last few weeks, I'm 35 werks, so just ahead of you. That's too bad about your midwife not being competent, I hope everything is ok with the measurements.
I have been fludding ds2's closet with borrowed girl clothes lol and actually making some as I like to sew, it's funny, ds2 who is 2 years old won't even let me hold anything that resembles a girl clothing item up to him so I can see if I'm making it correctly lol.
I went for another fetal ECG and they said that one artery was still slightly enlarged, but that it's still within normal limits. I will have to take her for an echocardiogram between birth and 3 weeks just to be sure everything is ok.
I still have so much organizing to do! If this baby comes early I'm totally not prepared!
And I'm still in an absolute panic just thinking about the labour, I'm so afraid it will come on ultra quick again and I will have to drive myself to the hospital and I'm so terrified I won't receive the epidural for whatever reason, I seriously need to calm down!
I'm carrying much smaller and I'm thinner this pregnancy, just have a basketball in the front, and people who guess what I having all say boy, so there goes that theory out the window, I never believed in that one anyway...
I'm excited to have another year off with this little one (in Canada we get a year paid maternity leave) not sure what other parts of the world get, although I know the USA is only about 7 weeks or so, that would make it so hard, especially for the breastfeeding.
Anyway I hope you are all doing well, I have a feeling I will be the first one on this thread to go into labour! I'll keep you guys posted ;)

[keepthefaith]

Hi well had a growth scan today at 34+2 and baby only in 3rd centile so they are going to induce me by 37 weeks if not before [emoji54]. Had to have a steroid injection today and going back for another tomorrow, also being monitored and scanned twice weekly to keep close eye. Baby is however healthy even though small and as I'm passed 34 weeks they say all should be fine. Maternity leave been brought forward and watch this space ladies our little girl be here within three weeks eek lol!!

Very exciting to hear how close this group is getting to having babies! I hope we all have safe deliveries, healthy mama's and healthy babes!
It's amazing that other countries get so much paid maternity leave! I am jealous, US needs to take notes! There is no promised paid maternity leave here. It varies on your employer. I personally have never worked any where where they will pay you but I have some lucky friends that have.

I am 28 weeks today. Baby is very active all of the sudden, she must be taking up more room now. She is constantly dancing on my cervix. At the park today I had a panic moment where I literally thought her arm was in my vagina!
I'm a little sour thinking of how I'm already feeling done and thinking that I still have 12 weeks, give or take. Feeling big and getting hard to do everyday things, like bend over, and it will only get harder!
Best wishes and hoping things start to look up for everyone!

[srg09cag11]

I got my c-section date today! Baby will be arriving on September 15, which is less than 4 weeks away! Yikes.

[Burakoam]

32.5 weeks. Placenta check... It moved. C section scheduled for october 2nd at 39 weeks. However i was hoping to have her at 38.. but not looking likely since she is right on my cervix per the ultrasound yet my cervix is long and thick suggesting no change..

[Keshet]

So exciting!! That's my due date as well. Anybody having low amniotic fluid?

[XXforhubby]

I'm not right now but I did with DS2. I was able to give birth naturally, but they did weekly non-stress tests starting at 34 weeks when they discovered my fluid was low. He was 8 days late and just fine!

[bre_cooper11]

... Hey ladies!!
So sorry Ive been MIA, i've been without a computer ...then we were back in the states for about a month and it's been soooo busy. GO GO GO!! We got back and my husband has been working nights and I work in the day but then he's been getting called in all the time. He is also scheduled to go to a school in Hawaii from August 29th-Sept 7th and possibly going to the field once he back. Blah. Im due on the 22nd of Sept... so, it's been chaos!

I've been trying to follow your updates! Everyone is so close!
Back in May we had our anatomy scan, my husband found out if the baby is a boy or girl and I did not. So, I am still team green but at 35.4wks I am getting so anxious. I have prepared myself that babe is our 3rd girl, but overall I think waiting was the best choice for me. I start going to the big hospital in Seoul next week for visits... praying babe stays head down, my other girls flipped breach at 36-37 weeks, stinkers.

[keepthefaith]

Hey girls well I'm at hospital this morning for placenta scan and ctg and then back Monday for growth scan and meeting with consultant about my induction which should be end of next week/start of following week. This means we will have our princess by start of September eek!! Our babies be here so soon!!!

It's so exciting our group will start having their babies anytime!!! I am just 28 weeks, starting my third trimester, it's gone so fast! We still haven't checked to see if it a girl or boy #3.
Girls names [emoji818]️, boy names[emoji780]

Feeling ok, lots of bh - which I don't remember with my boys..

Just thought I would stop in and update, although there isn't much to update:). Good luck to all you momma's in their final weeks, I can't wait to see pics!! Take care all!

Good to hear from you Tarasue!! I've been getting tons of BH with this pregnancy too! I get them if my bladder is too full, when he decides to sleep head down, and for no good reason [emoji1]! I joke that he is going to fall out when go time comes [emoji38]!

I'm 25 weeks and 2 days today!

KTF, wow, my babies have never kicked that obviously! Really funny :) I see you also have a stretched out piercing-hole, I have one too. Had I known I would never have taken that belly button piercing :wink: Good luck with your induction!

Rosie, good luck in your difficult life situation, I hope you get a home and your DH gets a job soon.

2boys, big hugs to you and your mom, it must be so hard :(

Bura and Srg, exciting that you have dates for your c-sections! Very cute baby Bura!

Tarasue, you are a brave woman, still team green.

Bre-cooper, you are also a brave woman going team green. I didn't know that your DH knew and not you...How can you not resist the temptation...?

Here all is well, although I'm tired of being pregnant. I am so dreading my c-section. I was at the dentist, lying in the chair and all of a sudden I felt really panicked, thinking of my upcoming c-section... I'll be so glad when it's all over and I'll never have another baby again! Soon my family will be complete :)

[Burakoam]

Can any of you explain this pain please.. I didnt have it at all with my other two.. Granted i was much younger.. Its like a pressure when i stand and walk in my pelvis.. Its a pulling/pressure sensation really. Its really bad in my bikini line area.. It makes it really uncomfortable to walk.. Hoping someone says thats probably the baby head engaged lol.. My dr's arent being helpful with info because they say i shouldnt want to go into labor before my c section date anyhow.. Cant get much info from them :(

Someone give me some hope lol.. I genuinely am a bit worried if its not her head that i am experiencing a few different symptoms that may be associated with pelvis instability if its not her head... Per the dr graph and ultrasound done she was at -3 station.. And the pain wasnt there yet.. Popped up the next day as i started losing what i thought was bits of plug...so if someone who has felt their baby engage could say "that sounds familiar" that would be nice lol

[Claire33]

Sorry Bura, I can't tell you if it means baby has engaged... Could it be you have some pelvic pain caused by the pregnancy hormones? I can understand that you are worried about going into labor. But you should contact the hospital as soon as you notice any signs of labor/contraction, so that they can perform an emergency c-section. It doesn't mean you will be whisked away in a panic like on TV, but any c-section done within 8 (?) hours is considered an emergency c-section. Good luck!

[Burakoam]

I just wanted to have something positive to go on instead of something negative i guess..

I dont fear early labor, i would prefer it. I was hoping to be nice and ready by 36-37 weeks again to be honest..i dont like the idea of going to 38-39 weeks..call me selfish if you will and maybe thats what it is but i am extremely depressed thinking i have 6 weeks to go when last night i was so uncomfortable i didnt sleep at all, got up to pee with a great struggle, tripped thanks to the pinched nerve in my back and the pubic bone pain causing me to go weak in the knees, fall, and peed all over myself instead of making it to the bathroom.

Tears as i write this, but if all of that is normal then i dont want it to last any longer than it absolutely has to and if that makes me selfish so be it. However this baby has her own plans and with no cervical changes at all the one time i have been checked and what the ultrasound still shows as unchanged, i guess im meant to crawl into bed for 6 weeks and suffer through it. No i dont think its dramatic at this point to say suffering, i guess if i was better at explaining the amount of pain and not just discomfort im in anyone would understand better...just incapable of doing so i guess.

[keepthefaith]

Burk- I am sending you lots of positive vibes as it sounds like you are having a horrible time of it. [emoji26]

Sending everyone else positive vibes too!

Well I'm going in this Friday at 36+5 to be induced as baby measuring small still and they feel it's better to get her out where we can take care of her! Can't believe I will have my baby girl by the weekend!! Exciting but nervous too! Xx

So excited for you keep.. I hope everything goes well for you and baby...

[Babyxx]

Wow good luck KTF, that is so exciting

[Claire33]

KTF, good luck!! How exciting!

Bura, I'm with you honey, I'm 36 weeks and so tired of being pregnant too. Although I'm trying to tell myself that I should enjoy this, as it is my last pregnancy, but realistically I'm not enjoying it at all :worry: I'm also dreading my c-section and the newborn phase. So I guess you're damned if you do and damned if you don't ;) I am looking forward to seeing my baby though, but not the night feeds, the having to take care of a baby in addition to 3 other kids, my lack of freedom etc. I have to start sorting the baby clothes and everything else that needs to be done before baby comes, but I'm so tired from not sleeping at night and from being pregnant in general!

Hugs to you Bura and all you other pregnant mamas!

[Burakoam]

Thank you claire.. I think trying to stay positive has taken its toll on me, too. You are def not alone.. thats just right... I am excited and look forward to holding my newest baby but i can officially say i dont enjoy pregnancy. I know its all worth it and that she is going to be amazing..but my gosh the process...

[bre_cooper11]

Good luck KTF! Praying everything goes smoothly and you and baby are healthy!!!

Claire- It is hard to resist, but if I were to find out, I had this fantastical way I'd want to find out. Ya know, a very intimate way and then my husband would be there for me for the likely hood it's another girl, so I could grieve, cry and scream. However, realistically that is not our life because we are stationed here in Korea. He is constantly being called in to work, or called/texted about work, the mission, change in the schedule, and stupid soldiers... that I don't really have him. The only time they will ever understand him turning his phone off or being unreachable would be while I am in labor. It's so sad but true and I would totally resent him if I asked him to tell me and he just told me, even-though I asked (because I have determined I am crazy lady now, lol). . Overall not knowing has really helped in my situation. I am anxious and excited for the surprise and so scared that my GD will take over. ... I also still look at my ultrasound pictures trying to determine what the hell I am looking at, lol. But, as we've already determined... I am now certifiable. lol


Burakoam- I had that awful/torturous pain with both of my girls. I was in tears just because I couldn't sleep and nothing would help the pain! Hang in there! WE ARE CLOSER TO BE DONE than we were many months ago, that's what Im telling myself. I am now 36+1, and I have gone past 40wks with my girls (41+3 with DD1), so thinking about how I STILL HAVE A MONTH LEFT!!! Which could easily be 5weeks or more and my shirts aren't fitting over my belly , anymore! It's sooo daunting! I don't think the last part of pregnancy for most women is enjoyable.
I also totally agree with Claire, too... I am thinking about how how much less time I will have with the baby with having my other 3 kiddos running around and trying to manage it all! That is the part I am pretty worried about. I will feel even more 'shut in' here in Korea, too. We already get the crazy looks when we are all out in public here and then to add a babe... oh man! Plus, we can't go to many of the stores/restaurants here because we are just too many and they are made for like matchbox people and def not made for strollers. lol

Hang in there ladies! It will be over, eventually!

[Burakoam]

Bre if you dont mind me asking how big were your girls? Thank you for all that.. I am sure claire needed to hear it just as bad as i did.... I want to be positive so badly but its a big ol fake show at this point.. No real sympathy from DH or family either because "i wanted to be pregnant" LOL no.. I just wanted to give my DH a biological baby and pregnancy was needed to create the baby so i mean... I never looked forward to this despite what they all think.

[bre_cooper11]

Yes! No problem! DD1 arrived at 41+3, 7lbs 1oz 19.5in. I had to go for a growth scan for her because I was measuring 2 weeks behind and she is still my petite girl. DD2 arrived at 40+5 7lbs 13oz 20in, she can wear most of her sisters clothes, lol!

I totally understand where you are coming from! Just because we decided to have another baby did not mean I was going to be some super happy pregnant lady. lol, sorry! I also somewhat understand wanting to give your husband a biological child...
My 7-year-old BOY is biologically from a previous on-and-off relationship and he left when I was 2 months pregnant. My husband was a very good friend I had known while I was dating the 'sperm donor'. He deployed and came back and wanted to pursue me even though he knew I was pregnant (to make a long story short). We have no contact with my sons 'donor', my husband is on the birth certificate and they are super close- he is 100% his father and I am a lucky woman. My husband couldn't be there for his birth and missed the first 6months of his life because he was sent back to the states (we were both active duty stationed in Germany)... This is part of why I wanted a boy so badly... it's so awful to read this back, because I am beyond grateful for my husband, our son and their relationship but I so badly want us to have a son, too- biologically and for my son to not be surrounded by girls... We took a 5 generation picture (of my paternal side) and my grandfather and my son were the only boys out of 9 people. lol Sorry for such long posts!

Anyways, I hope baby comes soon but toooo soon and healthy!

[Claire33]

I wonder how KTF is doing...Maybe she is in labor as we speak? Can't wait to hear news from her!

Faith Jacqueline Thomson born 28.08.15 at 21:48. 4lbs 14oz.

I'm ok just shattered, got pessary at 11:20 yesterday morning and it took the full 6 hours before it started working, then was getting contractions fast but short, got epidural at about 9pm and doctor came to break my waters at 9:45 and said that she wasn't happy with my Bp and also baby's heartbeat was high so she reckoned i needed a csection urgently, then she checked me and said she didn't need to break waters anyway as i was fully dialated and head was right there!!! Two quick pushes and by 9:48 she was out, was unbelievable.

She's in Special Care just now as needing a wee help with oxygen and feeding but being taken very good care of. Xx [emoji178][emoji175]

Absolutely drowning in heartburn at this point. Choked on it all night even after tums until i finally puked...now ive got the runs but idk if its from swallowimg stomach acid all night or the contractions im beginning to notice... Been up since 3 am its now 630 here and i have 3 hours till my doctor appointment....and i cant sleep... Ughhhhh

[Burakoam]

Prescribed zantec. Feel much better. Cramps still there but dont think this is it...cervix still super posterior

[XXforhubby]

Prescribed zantec. Feel much better. Cramps still there but dont think this is it...cervix still super posterior

I'm on Zantac too, since May. I have to take it twice a day. I'm not allowed to stop taking it because acid reflux exacerbates asthma. I'm already taking my allergy medicine and asthma meds because my asthma is already bad due to high pollen counts and poor air quality due to harvest. I had my very first asthma attack last night and it was so scary! I literally couldn't breathe until I used two puffs from my rescue inhaler!

I just hope to be able to wean off all these meds before the beginning of November, since I'm due at the end of November. Even though my steroid inhaler I'm on doesn't get into my blood ****** very much like others do, I still get mildly bleeding gums when flossing. This worries me, and I hope to be able to stop taking it before delivery. But if I can't breathe, neither can the baby.

Ugh, I feel like there is always something to worry about....sorry for my rant!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Pregnancy is never easy but as I read your posts I feel like I have nothing to complain about! I am feeling ok- tired but no real aches or pains. Hope you ladies stay healthy from this day on!

Due date isn't til October 24 and I already feel done tho- done work, done being heavy, done not being able to bend over, just DONE! I have the nursery nearly complete and I am praying for a delivery around 37 weeks:) Could I be so lucky? My first was a section (induced two days overdue bc my ob was nuts) due to fetal distress and second was a VBAC who arrived 4 days late. I can't see this one being early but I am certainly praying!!!

Whose due date is next?

[emoji178]

[Angel29ique]

Bura i am having the same heartburn problems.. Also keeping me up multiple hours at night. Her in denmark i use something called Gaviscon. Its a chewing tablet which, i have to say having had heartburn for many years (never like this though) helps quit good.

2boys my due date is 25th of october... 😊

I'm due Oct 2. But will be induced a week early. Burakoam, when are you due?

[Keshet]

I also don't have a name yet.

[CherryBlossom]

I'm due in 12 days and she's nameless


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Burakoam]

Keshet- due october 9th but they are doing my c section october 2nd... Was hoping she would come sooner but i have sort of succumbed to the fact its unlikely... Cervix still incredibly posterior

[Burakoam]

My swelling is getting out of control right now too.. But blood pressure is fine so its likely not pre e... I have no ankles at the moment and i woke up this am with stiff/swollen joins.. My hands were a nightmare.

[Burakoam]

So nope, freaking out now. I had a crazy night..im convinced it was just increased discharge at this point but woke up super freaked out at how much i seemed to 'leak' last night..dried weird on bed spread...dried hard but dark and clear not white at all...its like invisible glue? Noticed early early AM that no matter what side i slept on i had pinched nerves waking me up and so i flipped to my back (i know...crazy naughty me) and then immediately was met with charlie horses in my thighs! i have NEVER had that happen to me once in my life and thought "what the heck is going on"...then noticed my belly seemed REALLY sunken in and thats when i went into a panic.

After some time to calm down because baby is very active, more active than she has been in weeks, i still feel much smaller than i was. I didnt feel lower though so i took a picture to compare...what do you guys think?

27129

thats me at 33 almost 34 weeks

27130

Me this morning 35 weeks 3 days

i can actually see my hips in that picture gotta say its been a while since those were noticeable in pictures.

[Keshet]

Looks like she dropped or turned her position maybe. But sounds like maybe you should check with the doctor about the leakage.

[Claire33]

I can't see the difference because of different lighting and your back being covered in the second pic. But if you are worried, you should contact your dr.

[Burakoam]

Fluid was discharge... But she did something!!!! Cervix is now anterior, i am 50% effaced and a stretchy two!! Doc suspects the leaking was from her head exerting the pressure to move and open the cervix a bit. They didnt mention station i should have asked :( but PROGRESS!! I know it doesnt mean much as i could stay this way but it gives me a little hope i wont have to go to 39 weeks after all!! Woo

[bre_cooper11]

So glad your going home, KTF!! How exciting!!!

I don't think I am next, but 15 days until D-day. I have always gone over, but girls were both breech until almost 39wks and we never used OPKs to track my ovulation and conception like we did this time... I wonder if it will make a difference. One could hope, haha.
Burakoam- that is great progression! I remember at my 40wk appt being stretchy 2, almost a 3 cm dilated but still so high and posterior my membrane sweep was really difficult, lol.

I have my 38 wk appt in 2 days, and I believe I may ask if they can give me a sweep. However, I don't even have my hospital bag packed yet >.< and we are going to be staying in the maternity wing of the hotel on post in Seoul (it's a crazy 2hr drive, I do not want to make while in labor) at some point. I am so behind. lol

[Babyxx]

Oh I think I am actually next! Due Sept 13th... I'm debating if I will get my membranes swept in a few days at my next check up, it hurts so much and it has never worked on me in the past...
But I also don't really want to have to be induced, so we will see..starting to be in denial about having another baby because I feel like I have been pregnant forever! I felt like this with my boys also as they too were late...
I guess I shouldn't complain, it's better than going early.
Ok I will update everyone as soon as I can, so nervous!

[Burakoam]

At the hospital... Early labor. Contractions are 5 minutes apart. 2 cm 50% head is engaged. Baby doing great with contractions so far..

[Burakoam]

Actually doctor was great...they would have kept me...but because i wasnt quite 36 i would have been bed bound..not really into the idea of that long of an early labor so opted to come home where i can eat/drink freely and move around more.

[keepthefaith]

Exciting burakoam!!! Hope you're ok xxx

I am shot. Baby is posterior and uterus is hyper stimulated idk if that makes sense...im very sore and tender and still having contractioms irregularly...i cant figure out how to turn her and i have a feeling thats why my uterus is on fire but no progress being made. Ive tried spinning babies, all fours, birth ball.. Crap. Any advice greatly appreciated they want me at 4 or 5 before they do c section early i found out last night.. Or my water has to break etc.. If i could stop the contractions and give her a break or myself maybe that would help but i havent done anything all day... I was instructed to rest to get it to stop but its not stopping.. I dont think baby wants it to either but she is big and i fear stuck posterior...she head butted my cervix so hard earlier between contractions when i was merely laying down she knocked my mucus plug out. Hubby and i thought my water had broken.. His hand was on her at the time so he felt how hard she popped me and then the wetness plus my loud yelp..but it was just the plug no water..

I dunno how to help her.. yeesh. I may have dialated more after the plug she knocked out but its to uncertain and contrax too irregular for me to rush back to hospital yet..

[Babyxx]

Oh wow Burakaom,

I'm sorry you are dealing with all of that, sounds crazy! I hope you are not in too much pain...
Keep us posted, good luck :)

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Hope you are coping ok Burakoam!

I have been so nauseous the past few days. Just feeling yucky. Having lots of BH contractions and menstrual like cramping on and off. I am seriously hoping this all means my body is gearing up (early) for the real deal!

Oh my goodness what an adorable baby! So happy for you ��

[Babyxx]

Well tomorrow is my due date and nothing yet!
I'm so worried that I will have to be induced again, and they don't do it until you are 10 days overdue, that means my 2 youngest will have their birthdays only a couple of weeks apart...
This will mean that all 3 of mine have been overdue, I'm so anxious to just have the delivery over and done with and to meet our newest addition!
My doctor predicted that this one will be in the low 8 lbs range, and he was right predicting my last 2 also, which were 8lbs10oz, and 8lbs11oz! God help me!

[Keshet]

Good luck babyxx

[Babyxx]

Still pregnant and going for a membrane sweep tomorrow, we will see if it does anything.....
Anyone have any luck with one of those? Had one with ds1 and it did nothing but hurt like hell..

[Angel29ique]

Baby, i had a membrane sweep my first pregnancy in 2012. Dont know if you can compare though since i they found out then i was already 3 cm open without noticing anything and it did not hurt me either. Got it on monday in the morning at 9 and my contractions started the beginning of the next night at 23.45. My son was born 03.08. :-)

Baby, I too had my membranes swept with DS1. I had been stuck at 2cm and 50% effacement for 6 weeks and DS1 was a week overdue. I had them swept at 9am (it wasn't bad- it felt like pressure and light period cramps afterward). I had my first contraction at 9:50pm that same night and he was born at 3:53am- a fast 6hour labor!!

FX and GL! I'll be stalking!!

[srg09cag11]

My baby girl is here! She was born yesterday morning via c-section. With a lengthy stitching process, this being my fourth c-section in six years, my doctor has said that there is no reason we couldn't try one more time for a boy down the line if we want! This is a conversation my husband and I will need to have sometime in a year or so, but all is going well so far!

Any progress babyxx? Hope so as I know what it's like to go past due. I had a few sweeps with my last DS and I dint find them painful although they also weren't helpful! I eventually had my baby 4 days past due after 5 days of false labor that felt like real labour!

Congratulations SRG...as one of the other blue swayers who heard pink ive followed your story closely so im glad to hear everything is going great for you and your family!

[Burakoam]

Sorry I have been Mia. Baby still hasn't turned... Avoiding labor and delivery for now because I was there twice in one day on Friday. Contractions coming 1.5-3 minutes apart for over an hour but they weren't changing me.. Frustrating and low and behold contractions space out as I get stressed from all that nonsense...

Baby is -1 station and I'm 3 cm 75% effaced... I was told once I hit 4 cm with the contraction pattern I've had they will do my section but I'm sorta expecting that to change last minute and I'm gonna get told to be 100% effaced on top of the 4cm...the room will be very nasty if they do that to me..it's like the last delivery still doesn't ring right for them.. Big baby, can't fit, won't fit... Quit trying to treat her like the average 6-7 pound baby at this point because my labor stops and starts due to her size.. And my body can't turn her..

Don't need to be a doctor to know my baby and my body. I put my foot down with hubby. No more of this bull.. This is my last baby. Doctors just don't listen.

Never thought I could hate an object so much in my life.. Freaking measuring tape.. Tape said last baby was small too... Seriously screw their dang measuring tape measurements. I just don't understand how medicine seems to have fallen so far.. Maybe I just have a cruddy doctor team..

[EmileeJane]

Congrats on your babies gals!
Bura- sorry your last couple of weeks have been so stressful. I honestly can't believe they haven't sectioned you at this point. Are you full term? Hopefully it all turns around for you. Try to de-stress by doing something nice and relaxing for yourself.

I am just under 7 weeks out from EDD. Think I'm one of the last ones due in this group. So I'm excited to hear about all of your babies.
Yesterday morning I was feeling good like these weeks will pass quickly but by the end of the day I was crabby about how much longer I have and I'll most likely be over due. How uncomfortable I am and how it'll get worse..... but today's a new day and I'm trying to stay positive. I still have a lot to get done before baby gets here.
Best wishes for your upcoming deliveries ladies!

[Babyxx]

Congrats srg09!

[Babyxx]

My baby is here!

I decided NOT to have the membrane sweep done and book an induction instead. I was going to be induced at 40+6, which was last Saturday, but at 6 in the morning I started having cramps, and I know for me that those low cramps are contractions!
We had to wait for my DH parents to get to our house because the kids were sleeping, then when we got to the hospital which was about 40 min after the first cramp, I was 9cm!
I was begging for the epidural and they tried to discourage it, then there was a shift change for the doctor and the nurse and I got an amazing team that gladly got me the epidural. As soon as I got that I pushed for 20 min and had our precious little baby girl!
The whole entire start to finish was just a bit over 2 hours. I even had to go to a closer hospital that is so dumpy compared to the one I was supposed to go to. But in the end, all of that doesn't matter, our little princess is here, totally healthy, and we couldn't be happier!

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Well after a month of fighting one virus after another it turns out I am anemic and at 36 weeks there isn't much time to correct it. I am totally exhausted, weak, short of breath and just worn right out. I am debating an early leave from work- my plan was to work right until baby is due but I don't think I can last. I am pretty down[emoji20]. I am so tired of feeling so crappy and now I worry about how I will feel postpartum! I want to enjoy this little angel and not be completely wiped like I have been.

I am starting supplements today but I don't think they will take effect anytime soon. Blah!!! So disappointed.


[emoji178]

[2boysJustOneGirl]

I just read what I wrote yesterday and can't believe what a whiner I am!!! Sorry to make you all read that!


[emoji178]

[EmileeJane]

2boys- you are not a whiner! It's hard to finish strong in the home stretch. We all are feeling like this at the end. I say take off work early take care of yourself and enjoy your baby when she's here!
I am also a whiner and am not sure how I'll physically be on my feet at work all day, with my carpel tunnel flaring so badly in my hands I can hardly hold a comb, for the next 5 weeks. See I'm at that point too and have 6 more weeks before i get a baby! Hoping beyond hope that we all go a few days before that EDD.
I know you're a VBAC too so I wish you the best of luck. I sure am looking forward to going into labor and hopefully getting my 2nd VBAC! Feel better!

I am going in tonight to start induction. I can't believe it.

Keshet-- havent heard from you after your last post about induction...hoping you and baby are doing alright...


This is how i spent my saturday night...no baby by the way...these did nothing to my cervix and nothing to my cervix = no c section. Yeah, double peak contractions that close together and absolutely nothing to show for it apparently per my nurses...but alright. 2 hours of contractions like that before they sent me home...still having them by the way. They did mention if my uterus kept that up i was at risk to bleed out during surgery or regular delivery didnt matter which.

C section is this friday...ive given up thinking this baby will be here before then...i'll be curious to know how she was positioned, if her chord was around her in a funny way or how big she is as she is still -2 station even with those contractions...i dunno im just a 'stupid mom' but something tells me that doesnt seem quite right..at least her heart stayed within normal range though there was alot of decel's with those double peaks that scared me regardless.

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Burakoam, It's almost Friday!!! Those monitors often cause a lot of unnecessary worry and as a nurse I can tell you that decels are normal as long as baby recovers quickly. It's almost Friday- soon it will be over. Take care til then ...I wish you a speedy recovery:)

I am happy to report that my induction went well.
Baby is healthy and just so happens to be a GIRL!!!!! I had been on team green. I didn't sway. She is the result of a medicated cycle with no gender selection. I didn't think that it was possible for us to make girls. I was sure that she would be a boy.

She is delightful! She is very very small and not latching and I am exhausted but so thrilled to have my healthy little girl.

[Jany1025]

OMG Keshet after your HT no transfer and then conceiving without IVF/PGD at what 42 and to get your DAUGHTER! This is a true MIRACLE! ENJOY every minute with your baby girl!

Very happy for you! I have been waiting patiently for your gender announcement! :)

[Burakoam]

Keshet so much congratulations sending you the biggest hugs... I think that's the birth of the first team green baby! And your DAUGHTER!! I am so beyond thrilled for you.

Lots of love coming my way to all of you ladies and your new little ones. We head to hospital at 7 am with c section scheduled for 9 am... We are anxious to have Angela Victoria join all the other healthy and beautiful new babies...

Also I am thinking of Rosie... And hoping high that her team green baby was also her long awaited daughter and that her new baby girl or boy will bring her peace and joy through the tough times she was facing or hopefully her tough times are over...

Catch you all on the flip side.. :) thanks for putting up with my whiny butt for 9 months.

[Keshet]

Thank you so much ladies! It has been a wild ride. It was 7 years of negotiations within my marriage--2 IVF retrievals, 1 arrested blastocyst before FET, 3 failed IUI's, swaying, 2 miscarriages. And one last final unorthodox attempt with meds and TI. And I'm actually 43 now. It is such a miracle. Along the way, I really did come to a place of acceptance about gender and was content with the kids that I had. It was only once I let go, that fate took me by surprise. I want to thank you ladies through this whole process. I probably wouldn't have pushed so hard without this forum. Somehow it brought validity to my fantasy of having another child. I appreciate all of the support over the years. Good luck to all of you!!! I will still stay tuned to hear about your births. All the best to you! Keshet

A big thanks to you, Atomic. You helped me through some of my darkest moments. I was so down after my failed IVFs. I really appreciated your attention to the reality of my situation that helped me just try and get pregnant--at some point getting pregnant superceded gender for me and was much more realistic. It's different for every one. I'm glad that I moved forward and came to peace with that decision. Thank you for all of your encouragement.

Congratulations Bura! Congratulations Rosie!!!! We did it! I was wondering a lot about you, since we go back a long way. We had our losses together and then our team green pregnancies together. How are you doing now?

Waiting for my rainbow baby...any day now I am told. I am not sure if anybody else is left to deliver a rainbow baby in this group- I am finding this wait particularly hard because I am so worried she may not be healthy or normal.

2boys- I am so excited for you! I can't imagine how long of a wait it feels like for you. I am just 36 weeks and also feeling anxious about baby finally being here. I feel like I am SO fortunate to be getting my daughter and am just waiting for something to go wrong and spoil that. I think it's fairly normal to have 'out of our control' feelings this close to EDD. Best of luck. I'm sure it will all go well!
I am due 11/5 but it sure would be amazing to have this babe a day or two early!

[2boysJustOneGirl]

I know what you mean emileejane. After waiting for a daughter for so long I fear that something will happen to her now that I am so close to actually having her. My due date is October 24th. I am so wishing she arrived early as my mom won't be able to be here if she waits til the 24ish due to her cancer treatments:(. Also my sons bday is the 28th- trying to avoid that as well. It's beyond my control tho! I had my first exam today and I am not dilated or effaced so I foresee this playing out as my last birth- a little late.


[emoji178]

[Angel29ique]

Oh i hope she changes her mind and comes earlier for you 2 boys. I am due October 25th and also hope she will come sooner. My husband has birtday the 26th and his sisster the 27th.. so hoping to avoid those dates. But i guess she will come when she is ready..

C section went great actually. Surgery itself was a bit scary and I wasn't expecting the spinal to make me feel so... Weird. Best way to describe it is at some point things felt more dream like than real... Day after was the hardest and things quickly got better after that. Late day 3 and day 4 I felt almost normal.

Her shoulders were going to be too big despite being a pound lighter than my last. They made comment on her shoulders and had to use forceps to get her out of me as she was down pretty low

[Babyxx]

Congrats to everyone
Wow Rosie what a nice surprise! I always had a feeling that you were having a girl!
I think our early scans were similar in regards to that Ramzi theory, which I still am not really sure about, but so happy for you! Hope things start looking up for you :)

[Claire33]

Bura, I'm glad your c-section went well and you felt better so soon. It sounds like you had a blood pressure drop due to the spinal. I had this to the extreme each time, I almost passed out, so this time they took good care of me and gave me medicine to keep my blood pressure up.

[2boysJustOneGirl]

If only one could schedule labor to start! Hope she arrives in the perfect time and place for you. Regardless, for me, I will be so relieved to know that my girl is healthy and I can put to rest some of the fears I have been having.

2boys I hope you get a big surprise and go early! You are getting so close...

All of the sudden I am beyond done with this and feel like I can't be convinced otherwise. Even though I'm sure I'll miss it when it's gone. I feel huge a ugly and hate every cute gal dressed in their cute fall clothes! Meanwhile I'm over here swollen, in tennis shoes with orthotic inserts for tendinitis in my foot/ankle. Physical therapy and surgical consults for my debilitatingly painful carpal tunnel in both hands/arms-so bad I'm get almost no sleep at night.
Went on a date with DH tonight and almost cried when the waitress told me they were out of root beer!!! Okay guess I'll have water again, like yesterday and the day before that and the day before that! Then I picked a fight with DH just to top off the night (a night my in laws took the kids)!! Grrr!!!!!
I got checked at my 36 week appt last week and was told I was 1.5 cm and soft. In 3 pregnancies this is the only time I've been dilated or soft at a check. Not even at 41 weeks with DS1! I know that means absolutely nothing but it did make some good mental progress for me. I refused to be checked again until I'm in labor.
But all the sudden I am a big Debbie Downer again. Had a friend tell me her cousin just had her baby this morning 2-3 weeks early! And my DH's co-worker just had his baby 2.5 weeks early!! WTH?! That gives me no hope! Somebody has to go over due and bring that average back to 40!!! I'm not even trying to be greedy, 2+ weeks seems like a lot to ask. I was hoping for like 3 to 5 days early.
Sorry ladies I just needed a vent. I am 37 and 2 days right now and am getting real anxious for labor, meeting our baby, and the slow process of eventually getting my body back.
Thanks for listening:(

All of the sudden I am beyond done with this and feel like I can't be convinced otherwise. Even though I'm sure I'll miss it when it's gone. I feel huge a ugly and hate every cute gal dressed in their cute fall clothes! Meanwhile I'm over here swollen, in tennis shoes with orthotic inserts for tendinitis in my foot/ankle. Physical therapy and surgical consults for my debilitatingly painful carpal tunnel in both hands/arms-so bad I'm get almost no sleep at night.
Went on a date with DH tonight and almost cried when the waitress told me they were out of root beer!!! Okay guess I'll have water again, like yesterday and the day before that and the day before that! Then I picked a fight with DH just to top off the night (a night my in laws took the kids)!! Grrr!!!!!
I got checked at my 36 week appt last week and was told I was 1.5 cm and soft. In 3 pregnancies this is the only time I've been dilated or soft at a check. Not even at 41 weeks with DS1! I know that means absolutely nothing but it did make some good mental progress for me. I refused to be checked again until I'm in labor.
But all the sudden I am a big Debbie Downer again. Had a friend tell me her cousin just had her baby this morning 2-3 weeks early! And my DH's co-worker just had his baby 2.5 weeks early!! WTH?! That gives me no hope! Somebody has to go over due and bring that average back to 40!!! I'm not even trying to be greedy, 2+ weeks seems like a lot to ask. I was hoping for like 3 to 5 days early.
Sorry ladies I just needed a vent. I am 37 and 2 days right now and am getting real anxious for labor, meeting our baby, and the slow process of eventually getting my body back.
Thanks for listening:(

I totally can relate! I am 39+3 today and so over all of it. My cervix is long and firm and there is no indication at all that things are happening! I know that all that can change in an hour but come on!!! A little bit of progress would at least give me hope! I feel like I will never go into labor. The last weeks have been excruciating and completely convinced me that I am done having children. Done. I will never put myself through this again! To top it off my mom won't stop pressuring me to just "have the baby already!" Like OMG! So annoying.
