I hope you ladies get to see your sweet babies soon, except Tarasue! I hope you can manage to hold out until 11/1!

I've been having contractions since 34 weeks! True contractions captured on the monitor at my last appointment. I only get 3 in an hour, but we will see when I get to meet this bub! DS1 was 8 days overdue and DS2 was 4 days early. With this guy, I started to measure 3.5 weeks early at 32 weeks and his huge growth spurt was confirmed at my scan then too ! I hope I go early to avoid having to birth a larger baby naturally. I'm used to 6lbs 12 oz babies! Ah well, it will be what it will be. Oh and I'm 3.5cm dilated and 100% effaced. This means nothing since I was the same with DS1 and he came 8 days late!

Hope everyone else is doing well! I can't wait to see more cute babies !!


DS1🏼, DS2, DS3 Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD for my DH!!

Oh two boys, I hope it's soon for you!!! Do you have an exercise ball you can sit on and bounce, that's what I think did it with ds2.

EmileeJane, I'm sure it's still your little princess in there, but understand your worry

Xx- good to hear from you! Your like me, croch of steel we have!! I walked around for weeks at a 4 with ds2 and now at a 5 with this baby. My gut says the baby will come in a week or so, but I'm taking it easy until Sunday. No working out and off my feet as much as possible. I'm not ready to not be pregnant anymore & am already so sad that this is the last few days that I will ever carry a baby inside me. So, I must not be in too much pain!

Haha, yep, crotch of steel! I didn't know I was in labor with DS2. I went in to be seen because I was having muscle pain that was causing me to have sciatic nerve pain. They couldn't figure it out either, but I had one giant contraction on the monitor so they had me walk for an hour. I didn't believe them, because I didn't feel anything. I started to get horrid sciatic nerve pain after 40min and told DH to hell with this! He went to get the nurse, and I was packing up our things. She checked me and I was 6cm and 100% effaced after 40 min! I didn't feel a thing and thought she was crazy! I didn't start to get uncomfortable until I needed to push!

I'm scared I'll birth this guy at home ! Definitely crotch of steel!!

That sounds about right xx!! I'm afraid of not making it to the hospital, my husband jokes that we will wake up one morning and there will be a baby and a mess in our bed.

Tarasue, one more day and hopefully you can go into labor after that! 2boys, I hope you have the baby soon.

XX, I wish I had births like that instead of contractions from hell...

[EmileeJane]

Yay Nov 1st! You made it Tarasue!! Yeah you and Xx sound like you have pretty amazing deliveries! So cool. Glad to hear you're enjoying the end! I should take notes!
2boys how are you hanging in there? It's hard to go into a new month when EDD was Oct did you talk to your midwife about your cycle and days being off?
My only comfort at the moment is that now that it's finally Nov I'm not leaving this month without a baby! I was having a lot of consistent Braxton Hicks, low back pain and pelvic floor pressure for most of morning/afternoon yesterday. I was getting excited and anxious but also didn't want to have a baby on Halloween. Anyway I didn't but I did lose a bit of my mucus plug! Had to Google it. I have never lost or seen one with my boys! It was off-white/yellow so nothing crazy yet but encouraging that the contractions I was having were something. Hope there's dilation happening! Not that this means labor will come soon but it's good to feel like I'm making progress!!!
Hope you're well ladies!

YeeHaa! It's November!!!
I can breathe a sigh of relief and just let nature take its course.

We are all getting so close, can't wait to see who goes next!!!
