Passed my mucous plug today and had on and off contractions all day. Pretty constant low back ache like I'd get with my period... I know baby's low, but I'm starting to wonder if I'll even make it to June?!

thanks for starting the new thread :)

goodluck panther, i hope it all goes smoothly for you xo

I am only 26 weeks but really struggling right now :( been feeling off and breathless, just have no energy for anything. and I am helping my parents move atm, so I suppose that is adding to the stress. I have my glucose test this week which I'm not looking forward to, and also my hospital booking in appointment.

My midwife said it's fine after 36 weeks 3x a day with food (and that there's no evidence taking it vaginally works better). I lost my plug 3 days after starting it :O

Throwaway - I lost mine on Thursday and had lots of back pain, then went into labor on Monday!! Hope that happens for you...do lots of walking!

Boyz- thanks so much...enjoying every second with this little guy!

Missiz - I bet moving is throwing you off as well. I hope your glucose goes well this week. Take it easy on yourself mama!


Successful blue sway in May of 2016! Thanks so much Gender Dreaming! [emoji170]

[netti02]

Missiz have you had your iron levels/stores checked lately?mine were really low and my hb had dropped a little and that was why i was feeling breathless often. Ive been taking x2 supplements a day for a month to bring it back up.

Best of luck panther.

Glad to hear all is well taytum

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

[Boyzmommy]

@missiz i was like you missiz and my iron levels were pretty low. Get checked. My parents are moving end of this month too but i feel guilty for not going over and helping them out. [emoji17]You r strong but take care of urself hun. Hope ur glucose test is gud.

@ panther. I m just afraid to take it orally. I m taking so many multi already. Should i start it 🤔

[Boyzmommy]

Taytum did u use any methods to speed labour up. Which week did u give birth to LO


Mom to two princes

[Bluebooties]

Boyz did u get csections due to labour not starting spontaneously ?
For me the prolonged standing and all day walking is what always jumpstarts things.

Ladies when u say passed mucus plug do u mean just plain mucus or mucus with blood. I have been passing thick creamy mucus blobs for days now but they r not at all blood tinged so i am not looking much into it. I have a doc check in 2 days. Getting back and pelvic pains as if menstrual cycle was to start and strong braxtons that take my breath away

Pineapple and unripe papaya r also know to worl but i dont know there safety

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[Throwaway_panther]

@Blue: Mine was boogery. Blood tinged can happen too, but with or without, it still means the plug is coming out.

@Boyz: If you do take it vaginally, make sure you wear a pad!

@Taytum: Thank you!! I've been trying to walk a ton. Had an NST today (unrelated to the prelabor) and all the nurses were talking about how crazy low baby is now -- I'm having the hardest time walking, but I keep waddling on (and doing weighted squats!)

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

[TaytumJ]

Boyz: I had baby at 37+2, and I didn't do any methods besides walking, doing stairs and being as active as I could. And I ate pineapple at breakfast, but not a ton of it by any means.

BB: mine was mucus with dark brown. It also happened for days and was on and off with the dark brown in it. I also had back and pelvic pain like I was on my period! Hoping you're getting close!

Throwaway: that's what everyone kept saying to me! That baby was SO LOW! At my 36w u/s she said he was so low she'd be surprised if he stayed in for another 2 weeks.

Can't wait for you ladies to have your little ones!


Successful blue sway in May of 2016! Thanks so much Gender Dreaming! [emoji170]

[Bluebooties]

Ah ok ... yes on my 36 week sonogram she couldnt get head circumference because the head was below pelvic brim and difficult to access.
These flase labour pain r miserable. I am sooo ready for baby to be out !

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[missiz]

@netti and boyzmommy - yea when i go in for my glucose test I am also getting iron studies done to rule out if thats why im feeling extra tired.

@taytum - with your bub born at just over 37 weeks, was there any concerns about "premmy baby" health issues, like were his lungs ok and everything when he was born? Because my DS2 was born at 38 weeks and I had to have steroid injections to "mature" his lungs and they made it sound like it was quite serious. I was just wondering whether my Drs were a little over cautious or if it was a standard thing.

[TaytumJ]

Funny you should mention this - no one really even batted an eye that he was early. They gave me some handouts on early babies and what to expect, but after I had him he was placed right on me for skin-to-skin and never once left the room. BUT, one of our nurses was really concerned about some wheezing he was making when he was sleeping. They ran all sorts of tests and even did a scan of his lungs and it all showed up normal. I mentioned it to our pediatrician today and she didn't seem concerned at all about it.


Successful blue sway in May of 2016! Thanks so much Gender Dreaming! [emoji170]

[signingmommyfor3]

My 2 boys were born at 35+6 and 36 weeks. With boy of them at 30 weeks went into labor, was put on Mag to stop labor and given steroid shots. They both were wheezing and spent some Tim under a hood but we didn't stay any extra time.

[missiz]

im glad to hear that he is ok now Taytum, they were threatening to take DS2 and put him in NICU if he didnt improve, so for the first 24 hours he was on my chest the whole time in the hopes that skin to skin would help, and thankfully it did.

[TaytumJ]

Yes we did (and still do!) a lot of skin to skin.

He's developed this weird sound at night. Grunting/gurgling? But ONLY from like 12-4am. Not during the day or before that. So weird...I asked ped yesterday and she didn't seem concerned, just baby noises


Successful blue sway in May of 2016! Thanks so much Gender Dreaming! [emoji170]

[Boyzmommy]

@ bluebooties i got a section with ds2 due to him breech. My ds1 was vaginal. Thats y my ob said i m a gud candidate for vbac.
I m getting a lot of braxton hicks but no pelvic pain or back pain yet.

I m thinkin of starting epo from tom. But i dont want to go earlier than 37 weeks which is 27th of May.
Is it too early to start that?i m drinking rrlt twice a day to tone my uterus
But i m still confused about evening primrose oil


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[netti02]

Im not too sure boyz ive never taken anything to help prepare the body for labour.

Taytum i wonder if your little one has gas hence the noises. Though newborns make an awful lot of little noises too so it could be that.

Ive been having some burning pains in the lower abdomen as well as cervical area pains, i think it might be my cervix softening up though i haven't passed any mucous plug yet. Still 7 weeks to go so i don't mind cooking this one longer 😂


Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

[Boyzmommy]

Thankyou netti. I just want to go in labour b4 ob decides to operate me.



Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[TaytumJ]

Hopefully your body is getting ready so when the time comes it goes quickly netti!

I also wondered if gas, but he's pretty quiet during the day and if I let him sleep next to me before putting him back he's silent. [emoji848] He also has some mucus/boogers, but the nose sucker is too big for his nose so maybe that's some of it too


Successful blue sway in May of 2016! Thanks so much Gender Dreaming! [emoji170]

[Boyzmommy]

My sons were always making wheezing sounds at night. They did couple of tests but every thing was pretty normal[emoji106]
I have my ob appointment in an hour. She is going to check my cervix today. Lets see what the situation is?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[luvmyfam]

Boyz you can probably start the EPO now. All it does is soften your cervix.

[Bluebooties]

Taytum try nose frieda for the boggers and very very important is to use a humidifier at night for little ones

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[Bluebooties]

Does he have symptoms each time he sleeps/naps or only at night ? Does he spit up a lot ?
If each time he sleeps then this could be a case of acid reflux and u could benefit from placing him in an incline position/head elevation each time u lie him down. Mistly kids out grown reflux so shouldnt be a problem

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[Bluebooties]

Try tear drop humidifuers. Huge capacity, ultrasonic and soundless

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[TaytumJ]

It just seems to be when he sleeps at night. During the day he's quiet and it doesn't bother him. I will put out our humidifier though - good idea!! He's been sleeping in his rock and play, so it's in an incline position already - I was also wondering about reflux. He spits up sometimes, but I don't think I'd call it excessive? I tried the nose frieda too but it seems to be too far up there in his little nose?


Successful blue sway in May of 2016! Thanks so much Gender Dreaming! [emoji170]

[Bluebooties]

Ok then just try the humidifier. Sometimes there nose gets stuffy from dry air and can give a wheeze type sound.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[Boyzmommy]

Thanks ladies. I m starting epo today. I have been having extreme itching on hands and feet. My ob did run blood test and my liver enzymes may be elevated. My mom n sister had the same prob so its genetics[emoji85]called cholestersis
Did run some bile test in blood too. If thats the case. She ll perfome section after 38 week. Wont wait until 40 week for labour to start.
I wannna go in labour b4 c section[emoji1317]



Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Bluebooties]

Cholestasis is not genetic boyz but is due to estrogens causing ur liver and gallbladder to become sluggish.

[Bluebooties]

Did ur cervical check go ok boyz ?
I go in for a check tomorrow hope i am making progress coz this is getting beyond uncomfortable now, cant sit, cabt stand ,cant roll in bed and the constant need to pee ... 😧

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[Boyzmommy]

I can imagine bb. Ob didnt check cervix. She said next week. My ob told me it runs in family too. Just like diabetes. With moms havin cholestasis daughters have high risk of getting it

[yogi&booboo]

Hang in there ladies! I feel you Blue :( I was thinking the same thing in my mid sleep around 3am how uncomfortable I was and want this pregnancy to reach the end.

Good Luck Boyz! I hope you go into labor naturally. I'd try everything in the book if possible. With my second I was told they would allow me to go through labor naturally if my body did it on its own but i was stuck on 1cm for a good week :(. They never gave me the chance to try or bothered to induce me.

As for me I go in for my pre-operative appointment tomorrow. I was almost scheduled for 6/1 but was able to convince my OB to do it 6/8. I need a little extra time before the baby is here and so I can organize everything. The big days are almost here! I can't wait for all our baby's to make their grand appearances 😍

Yay you guys I think I'm dilating!!! TMI but I'm losing globs of mucus and I don't think I ever have this early (34 + 3). I'm hoping this means I'm well on my way. Maybe I'll go into labour naturally this time! You never know! I'm sure in reality I still have weeks left.


Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!

[XXforhubby]

This happened to be Mommymachine, but I was 38 weeks. Then I had bloody show for 2 days after I lost the last bit of the plug. I went into labor at the end of the second day of bloody show!

oh goodluck mommymachine, i hope for your sake it might mean going into labour on your own :)

I had my glucose test today, gah, nasty drink that is! and I also hate blood tests so the whole experience isnt great lol I will find out in a few days whether I am iron deficient or not and also if i passed the glucose test. Has everyone already done their glucose tests? anyone not do one?

[Fiya]

Hi ladies,

Oh, for so many of you, the due date is approching. That's so exciting! I hope labour will be fast and easy for all of you :)

@Taytum: how is your sweet baby boy? And how do you feel physically and emotionally? Not too tired?

Here, everything is just fine! I had an US on Tuesday and our little girl (confirmed for the 5th time) is doing great in there. My cervix is totally normal and she's growing just fine. I had a smaller baby (2890 grams) and a larger one (3925 grams), but she'll be probably in between (3200-3400 grams).

And this is my 32-week belly. It's huge!

[TaytumJ]

Mommy - I hope that means your body is getting ready! I hope your little one cooks for a few more weeks, but is coming sooner rather than later! I lost my plug and four days later I was 100% effaced!

Your baby will be here before we know it Yogi!! Can't wait!

I did mine missiz and honestly I didn't mind the drink (I had fruit punch). It reminded me of Hawaiian Punch lol.

Fiya - love your bump! [emoji7] So glad your little girl is doing well! Hopefully it's a smooth last few weeks for you!

We're doing well over here...he wakes up about twice at night, and aside from struggling to get him to sleep anywhere except being held, it works well. Last night I just let him sleep with me on the couch and he was so much quieter and slept so much better. I just hope he'll be able to transition to his bassinet in our room in a few weeks. I just hope I'm not creating a little monster who will sleep with us for the next 10 years!

[Throwaway_panther]

@Fiya, you don't look huge AT ALL. I think we all must be our own worst critics!

@missiz, I could go on forever about the glucose test (I have a thread on it here somewhere), so feel free to PM me with any thoughts.


As for me: just got back from my midwife appointment. I'm starting to measure behind now in my fundal exams and they said baby's head is definitely engaged -- one of the nurses even said, "I don't even know how she's staying up there!" A few weeks ago I was terrified of needing to be induced or have my membranes stripped... now I'm sitting here wondering if I'll even make it to June?! A slight little stress, too, is my DH saying, "Our most important project of the year is due Monday at work, and I have to be there for it! Don't go into labor before then" I can't exactly control it, haha!

Such a mixed bag of feelings right now! I'm so excited to just have my daughter because I truly feel I can do so much more for her OUT of me than in me -- inside of me, I'm a bag of anxiety and GD. Outside of me, I'm hoping I finally get the "forgetting my GD" feeling I've heard so much about... and also go full on "blue swaying" minus the sex, haha.
I freaked myself out with an OWT post on here that said having a child in May meant the next one would be a girl (versus having a child in June meaning the next one would be a boy) -- everybody talk me out of how dumb that is!!

[Bluebooties]

Mommymachine i have been passing globs of mucus for a week now but no bloody show :( hope all starts soon ...

That still counts as passing your plug -- definitely a good sign! As a doc once said to me, to get things moving, do things that make you as contracty as possible! Her recommendations were walking and sex!

[netti02]

Panther that is silly 😂😂😂 i looked at that too inaccurate for me even the chinese calendar is wrong.

All the best yogi and fiya 😊

I agree bluebooties. I recall passing mucous with my last 2 in the 2nd trimester but still went to term. This one i haven't passed any yet.

I think this baby has finally moved down as its been very uncomfortable overnight and lots of pressure. I still have 6 weeks of work 7 until im due. Ive got most things ready incase this one decides to cook early 😂 just the car seat left

@Boyzmommy: I have been very busy with family and friends visiting us. We live in the south of France, but both our families live far away. Over the past weeks, my mum came over for 2 weeks, then my sister, friends and family and so on. My hubby's little brother is coming over for the weekend the 11th of June, but that'll be the last visit before birth. Except for my mum, who'll arrive the 5th of July, so I hope she'll be there to look out for the boys when I'll be in the hospital. I'll be 38+5 when she arrives and my boys were born at exactly 40 weeks and 39+2 weeks, so I hope our girl waits for my mum :)

Stands for hemolysis (break down of red cells) elevated liver enzymes and low platelets. Purley pregnancy induced but can be fatal to health

I am not trying to worry u but a mom and a person in the medical profession i do hope they r checking to rule this out bocz f u have HELLP u cant wait, only treatment is delivery and as soon as possible esp if u r over 34 weeks and then u already had decresed placental flow issues.
But at the least they should closely monitor ur blood work and baby well being

When ur doc calls with more results do ask them about ur cell counts

Haha, I'm in a weird place of really not knowing when I'm about to go! Baby is engaged and insanely low. Even my midwife suggested I take it easy to try and give baby until 38 weeks... I'm at 6 days post-plug loss and day of prelabor. Have had awful boob pain this week, tons of discharge, and yesterday and today have been so crampy in my lower back and abdomen with contractions. Getting odd leg pain today too, almost like growing pains?

Not knowing when this could actually happen makes me feel like I CAN'T rest because I have so much to get done!

All induced because of high blood pressure plus DS2 had IUGR so he had to come sooner.

DS1 - 38 + 4
DS2 - 34/35
DS3 - 37 + 2
DD1 - 37 + 5
DD2 - either 36 + 6 or 37.

I'm still around ladies, struggling really badly recently with some anxiety and ptsd from my last son's birth. So far all my testing and things look just fine, but they also looked just fine up until my last boy was born! I'm 28 weeks though and my OB is hopeful I'll make it to 35 weeks. Excited to start seeing some more beautiful babies coming along though!

Taytum so glad you are enjoying the early days. If you google 4th trimester it's totally normal that baby will only want to be in your arms for the first 12w and it is highly unlikely to cause a 'bad' habit.
Re the sleeping - at the risk of sounding preachy (someone once blasted me on FB because I offered this same info), it's far safer to do planned co-sleeping in bed than to sleep with baby on the sofa. Please search online for safe co-sleep tips. I hope you know that comes only with love and care xxxxx

This is my 33w bump. 34w tomorrow.

Sorry I haven't posted much - am still struggling with grief and anxiety on top of all the normal life, kids, pregnancy stuff.

I do read all the posts though and hope everyone is well

[Boyzmommy]

I m itching like crazy girls. I bled myself on feet from constant itching. I hope my ob has some answers until next appointment on Wednesday. I m taking icy cold feet bath n ice in hands. Thats wht is helping. I hope its not serious cholestasis. I wanted to keep her inside atleast until 38 weeks

Looking fantastic boom not long now.

I had horrid lower pelvic burning last night. Not sure if it was from coughing as i have a cold or because i was sitting on the floor sorting out some stuff. It did settle and i managed to get to sleep. Braxton hicks have been happening on and off and this little one keeps getting the hiccups.

Sometimes i wonder if ill make it to 40 weeks but ive thought that before 😂😂 and always made it there. Which is good as im still working up to 39 weeks and im having a small baby shower in a few weeks. Nothing like i have had before just a few close people over for nibblies. i just can't face some of the comments i know i would receive like oh its another boy. Wow 5 boys you will be busy. Are you going to have anymore. You shouldn't have anymore etc etc etc

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

[Boom]

Blue and boyz - I had a HT daughter last year but she was born at 28w and died 4w later from a hospital infection. We never got to take her home and her brothers only saw her twice. It has made this pregnancy a very terrifying experience and bittersweet

[TaytumJ]

Boom - thanks for the tips! I'm definitely enjoying the baby snuggles and so is my husband. The hardest part is just at night - we actually have a sectional couch that's leather so it's not a squishy couch and I put the feet leavers up and I sleep closest to the back of the couch. We have a little bed bassinet, he just hasn't really been as into it as we are haha. We're still working though! He sleeps in his rock and play mostly right now next to me. Going to start swaddling and putting him in his crib more. So much to learn as a FTM!

Your picture looks beautiful! Love your bump!! I'm hoping that once you have this little one you'll feel a sense of peace too, so sorry to hear about your little girl. Lots of hugs and love - I'm sure that must have been so hard.

Boyz - I hope you find some relief soon!! I thought extreme itching of palms and bottom of feet was a real concern? I had some itching, but my dr said unless it gets to my palms or bottom of feet there's no concern. I really hope you get some relief - I couldn't imagine!!

Netti - I hope you are feeling better today! I also am hoping your shower coming up is way better than you imagined. I know people don't really understand GD when they open their mouths, but I think it's so cool you've got a house of boys! You're always the queen! [emoji6] I know the grass is greener on the other side, but I'd really love to give my little guy a brother!

I got the results back from my glucose test and I passed, so thankfully I dont have to worry about that for now. I also got my iron levels tested and they are still within normal range but lower than last time she checked them. about a month ago they were 20 and now they are 15. So the Dr may up my intake but isnt concerned about it for now. hoping all you ladies are going well xx

Good to hear missiz u r doing fine. [emoji106]on passing ur glucose test.

@Boyzmommy - I had acupuncture with my DS1, I did it at around 2.30pm and I had achy feelings in my belly which then eased off, but at midnight that night my waters broke and I went straight into established labour! it can be quite effective :)

as for me, I am going to my hospital booking in appointment today and I also have to get my anti-D injection for being rhesus negative. Does anyone else have that too?

[mommymachine]

Yup missiz, I've had to have it every pregnancy. Except they call it WinRho or rhoGAM here.

Thankyou very much missiz. I should have asked u girls before going ahead with it. And they were actually electro acupuncture. I am crazy. Now i am hoping little bub can stay inside for another week at least. I got a scare today.

38w tomorrow. Just petrified of getting to 40w because a maternal fetal medicine doctor threatened induction because of some of my hormonal issues (NONE of which have had effects in my pregnancy so far!), and my midwife and I are hoping that doesn't happen. The nurse at my midwife's office thinks I can't have more than a week left since she's so low...

I just want to get this over with!!

Are any of you ladies doing EPO? Do you take it vaginally or orally? How many do you take a day? And is it everyday?


Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!

I m taking epo. Orally n vaginally. 500 mg thrice a day.
Vaginally 500 mg at night

Are you noticing that it is doing anything boyz?


Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!

[Throwaway_panther]

I'm taking it orally 3x a day, each 500 mg. My midwife says vaginally has no proven edge.

I'm a FTM who was at least 70% effaced and 2cm dilated before 38w, so I imagine the EPO could be contributing to that? I'm cramping every day, too.

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

[Boyzmommy]

Mommymachne i think it is contributing to some contractions i m having. But I stopped it couple of days ago to give little one another week inside me. I ll start it on Monday again. I feel vaginally its making me slippery n soft


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[has2gentlemen]

I took epo with both my previous births, 500mg per day starting at 32 weeks, then 1000mg per day at 34, and 1500mg per day at 37 weeks. With my oldest, I was dilated 3cm without any contractions at 39 weeks, but my youngest I lost my mucus plug and my water broke at just shy of 34 weeks, so I don't know if it was related. This time I'll start at 37 weeks (no sooner) with red rasp leaf and epo.

I think it does contribute in dilation. My ob gave me a go ahead. Rrlt is good for uterus toning as well

I'll start at the 1500mg as though I've worked up to that point- I just don't want to do anything until I'm full term this time.

Mm i think u should start with 500 mg as it can give u diarrhea. And increase it to 1000 thrice a day gradually

Hi girls! Seems like everyone is doing ok. I honestly can't believe how fast this has gone and I'm 33 weeks already! 7 weeks left of work! I usually go overdue andl I told them I don't want to work past my due date so I'll be done with work on my due date.

I'm going through a lot right now as my Grandma who is in end stage alzheimers took a huge turn for the worse and is actively dying. I've actually been praying for God to end her suffering but she is fighting very hard and it is so hard to see. On Wednesday night they told us she had a couple of hours to live and then she got a "second wind" and was alert and talking for 2 days. Friday evening when I grabbed her hand and said hi she said my name to me which she hasn't done in over a year.

If they do the sweep before you're ready it won't work and you run the risk of breaking your water.

Babies are supposed to cook till 39 weeks at least IMO so I would not do anything to bring on labor till after that point.

Thankyou Atomic. I will refuse to get a sweep. Thanks a lot for ur input. I m not in a hurry to bring her before she is ready. I m actually enjoying last couple of days[emoji39]

I'm dreading needing any sort of intervention :( :( and SUPER bummed that everyone in my midwives' office has gotten my hopes up! The nurse I really like even excitedly said, "Sunday! I bet it'll be Sunday!"

I know there is a lot of scary info out there about induction etc. but all 5 of my babies had to be induced and all 5 came before 39 weeks and they are just fine! The only one that has asthma/respiratory problems is my 34/35 weeker.

So you can definitely take home a healthy happy baby even if you need intervention or need to be induced.

I was just telling someone yesterday I'm almost a little sad and miss being pregnant. I never got to the totally uncomfortable spot and he came so unexpectedly that I never really got a chance to be over it. And I didn't do anything to bring on labor - I miss my belly!

So excited for you blue!!! Good luck - stalking so much!!

Just keep an eye on it throwaway - I never started true contractions, my water broke but he was so far down it was just a trickle and had I not had an appt already I would have assumed I just peed myself! Sounds like she's really far down too. I hope though that you have that little girl soon!

We got our newborn pics back: here's one just because I don't think I ever posted about the little guy!

SO happy for you blue!!! congrats on the safe arrival of your precious bundle xo enjoy the newborn cuddles

such a beautiful Taytum, he has quite dark hair! :P

[Mamato3?]

Congrats Bluebooties!!!

Congrats blue!!!

Canon is sure a cutie, Taytum!

Mommymachine, thank you for your advice. I wish I could be positive in that way, but I just can't. And to end up needing induction after doing so much work to get baby in position AND finding out I'm ahead of the curve as a FTM would be a real blow for me.

Boyz, the drama was mostly a mixture of GD and gestational diabetes trigger setting off my eating disorder. A drama I didn't share before was that I also cut out my father from my life because of the abuse he did to me as a child. I feel like the last 9 months has been the biggest psychological test I've ever gone through...

I was just telling someone yesterday I'm almost a little sad and miss being pregnant. I never got to the totally uncomfortable spot and he came so unexpectedly that I never really got a chance to be over it. And I didn't do anything to bring on labor - I miss my belly!

So excited for you blue!!! Good luck - stalking so much!!

Just keep an eye on it throwaway - I never started true contractions, my water broke but he was so far down it was just a trickle and had I not had an appt already I would have assumed I just peed myself! Sounds like she's really far down too. I hope though that you have that little girl soon!

We got our newborn pics back: here's one just because I don't think I ever posted about the little guy!

Ahh, can you elaborate on the leaking Taytum?! I have this but thought the test was to see if it filled a pad.

Throwaway- when my water broke with DS2, they said to empty my bladder, lay down on my left side with a pad for 20 minutes, then stand up. When I did that, the pad was wet so they told me to come to the hospital and they did an internal exam and a test strip to see if it was amniotic fluid. It was, so I had to be given antibiotics and induced to reduce the chance of infection. I never filled a pad the entire time I was leaking, just enough to make my underwear damp all the time.

So sorry you've gone through all of this the past 9 months. It is such a mind bending experience being pregnant and then when you add on outside stressors and events, it's 10x more stressful. I hope that you were able to work through everything in your mind. I have no doubt you'll get your little boy next! Those gestational diabetes tests are crazy - my nurse told me if I did eat so many hours before I would fail, regardless of what I ate. Nuts!!

Basically it was just a trickle down my leg (and it wasn't steady either). Mostly it would happen when I laid down then stood up, but I didn't have enough to soak a pad and when she checked me she said the head was so low it was hard for the fluid to come out the way it should. She checked me with those little strips first too - so if you're wondering you can always have them check, really simple!

I started out with intense but irregular contractions at 2am. They didnt get regualr till about 4pm when my water broke. Got an epidural ( it needed to be redone bcoz my rt side was number than my left so i technically got 2 epidural 😥) and baby came about 4 hours later. Other than pain at the epidural sites and the uterine cramps i am going good

Thanks guys -- I have an NST tomorrow anyway, so maybe I can ask then? I really don't think that's what I'm having then :/ I think it's just, uh, droplets of pee... sigh. I still have frequent discharge, but it's definitely discharge -- I feel like I'm checking my toilet paper as often as I did during the 2WW!

And thank you in general Taytum! I love any and all positive boy affirmations for me, haha.

And Bluebooties, your daughter is BEAUTIFUL. So glad you're feeling good!

I lost brown and red blood mucus plug from Saturday until Tuesday with my oldest. Contractions started Sunday night, got regular Wednesday afternoon and he was born Thursday morning. So I guess around 4-5 days for me? I lost my plug Sunday night with my second and my water broke on Tuesday night.

I think i lost my plug around Thursday and had acupuncture on the Sat avo and then full labour started at midnight, DS1 was born 10am the next morning.

Has anyone got a planned c-section? I will have my risk assessment with the OB in a week or two and im fairly certain they will want to do another c-section.

[yogi&booboo]

I am missiz scheduled for next Wednesday. Good luck on your appointment. :)

Ohh best of luck yogi

I lost my mucous plug on and off but don't remember labour starting anytime soon after. I am up to ds4 though 😂😂

I had my 34 wk check up today. Baby is head down not engaged. Fundal height 37cm so im hoping thats just some error 😶 they may do an iron infusion if my hb is low next appmnt which i would prefer.

Lots of braxton hicks today and pressure could really deliver this baby now im sure he is already 3kg ++

Im hoping to book an induction for the 13th of July if he hasn't made an appearance by then and thats MIL's bday so that would be nice.

As much as this part of pregnancy is so uncomfortable i love it the same 😁

Blue: oh my word she's beautiful!!! That hair and beautiful skin!![emoji7][emoji7] Big congrats!!

Let us know what they say today throwaway. Let them know you've had discharge and want to know if it's amniotic fluid. It's an easy test!


Boyz: mine had brown blood in it and I started losing it on a Thursday and had him on Monday, so a few days for me too. Sounds like you're close!!

Edit: we posted at the same time Netti [emoji4]. Glad he's head down and that you at least have a date set. I would have loved that! Glad you're enjoying the last few weeks!

That's how mine started Boyz!! Yay!!

I know what you mean throwaway. It's hard not to be paranoid no matter how stupid you know it is! I found this thing online where you put in your due date and birthdate or something and it gave you a prediction and mine said baby would be a girl born on May 16th. I worried about it for a while because we were team green! I feel your pain!

Ladies who had early babies: do you think developmentally they were on track or more on track with their due date? I feel like C is on track for his birth date (3 weeks early), but everyone keeps saying, "He's basically only a week old." So...these past 4 weeks he hasn't been adjusting and growing?

I had my ds2 at 37 week and he is totally fine. Not behind or anything but i have noticed he had a bad immune system. He gets sick easily. He is petite but so is his dad n me. But my ds1 is bigger than him n growth wise a little ahead of him

They monitored me. Baby wasnt moving so much so they did an ultrasound. Every thing looks gud. She is measuring 7 lbs. but a little lethargic. They sent me home saying if contractions are close together or if i bleed. Or baby isnt active after drinking something cold. Come back.
So ladies i m hanging in there. I ws hoping today was her birthday
1/6/16 but i guess she is not ready yet. [emoji39]what can i do to speed up


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Boyz going from 3 to 5 cm is the main thing from there on it only took like an hour b4 i was fully dilated. I was 3cm ato 5cm in about 2 to 3 hours after water broke and contractions became regular. But i had strong irrgular contraction for almost 7 hours b4 that.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

With my DD2 the 11 hours of irregular contractions alone lead to full dilation at home and i nearly delivered her in the car so this time i went in early
