Fish I have to wait for spontaneous labour, they won't
induce me. If i go as far as due date I will go to the hospital and beg :-)
Wag 8am on 28th
Girlsway sounds a better option to me ;-)
I'm 630am wed 28th - again unless a delivery room is unavailable. I'm soooooo excited and can't believe it's only 5 more sleeps for me! Today is a super busy day with Kindy, a doc appoint and swimming lessons. Fridays always fly by. Then tomorrow my DH has booked me in for a pregnancy massage, mani and pedi (to get spruced up for the arrival!) lol I got my hair done yesterday. So feeling very pampered at the moment. Then I just have 3 more days which I'll do a complete house clean/food shop so when my mum is looking after my 3 while DH and I stay in hospital the house is super organized and easy for her. All she'll need to do it bring the kids in to the hospital to visit every morning. But there won't be any other jobs she needs to do! I get my OCD from her and I know she'll try clean the house for me before I return, but if I get it all done before hand she won't need to try and fit that in. At most she'll do a vacuum and a mop!
Wow its Friday where u are ... Lol it's still Thursday here 7pm so still 5 sleeps til tues for me
Haha yes I'm in Australia on the West coast. So exactly 12 hrs in front of you I guess!
Hi Ladies,
just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I can't believe how close a bunch of us are.
WantingPink -- your daughter is so precious! And she looks just like her 3d ultrasound pic, how neat!
Southern -- you look fantastic! I'd never guess you had a baby just two weeks ago! You have such a lovely family. :)
WAG -- I hope the sweep will do something for you! I had 2 or 3 done with DS2 and he still was only born at 41+5 (even though I was 4-5 cm and 80% effaced on my due date). By the end, I was walking around at 5-6 cm and still no labor in sight.
Are you still eating dates? Sorry to hear about your crazy neighbor drama. That's a lot to be dealing with right now...
Thorz -- hang in there, not too much longer! Although I know that every day can seem like an eternity at this stage. You look amazing by the way!
DLTAG -- any news on baby's position? Have you tried seeing a Chiro to do the Webster technique? I am not sure what it involves...I just remember reading about it. Fingers crossed she'll turn on her own if she hasn't already.
Not too many news here. I have been sitting at 2cm and 50% for the last two weeks (had a checkup yesterday), which is odd because with DS2 I dilated more and more with each week that went by. According to the last ultrasound, he should be well over 8lbs by now and I have gained about 16-17lbs. Our tentative induction date is still set for August 31st and if I haven't progressed past 2cm by then, my OB wants to do the foley bulb and see how that goes, then possibly break my water after that. This worked really well for a friend of mine with her second baby. She delivered within 5 hours.
Oh on a disappointing note...I found out yesterday I have group b strep with this pregnancy!!! There is a chance that I am allergic to penicillin (we don't know but my brother and dad are) so I am supposed to get the next best antibiotic, which could still cause a reaction. I just called my doc's office though and told them I am NOT comfortable experimenting with potential allergies during labor and that I want a GBS re-rest on Monday where they test for sensitivity to see what strain I have and what type of antibiotic would work on it. I am taking massive doses of probiotics and vitamin c now and secretly hoping my new test will turn out to be negative so I can avoid the antibiotics altogether...
Here's last week's 37-week bump pic :)

Ya still just crampy so I've lost hope that it's working cause it's been 10 hours... I've had a bit of spotting.... When I had my sweep with ds2 I was 5 cm too and it didn't work either lol... I content waiting til tuesday now that I know I get to go with my induction plans of just breaking the water... Altho I really don't want my mom and if I go into labour spontaneously I can just say my labour was too fast to call lol
I had GBS with ds1 I'm allergic to penicillin so I really have no idea what they gave me... I don't remember... But I had no reaction...
5 sleeps here too! Time differences mess with my small confused brain!
Salsa do you have room for another when you go for the massage and treatments :D. Have a lovely time and enjoy it x
Diva lovely bump pic and she may have turned, since mon (when i thought she may have turned) thins have defo been very different in there. Sorry to hear you have group strep b too x
So exciting that we will have hopefully 3 babies by next wed, really looking forward to all the pics and updates.
Well i've defo started to loose my plug (sorry), had 3 lots now and 2 in the past 24 hours so rather excited that things are getting moving down there, still getting the stabbing pains every now and again too. She better stay in there another 9 days tho till i'm full term.
Diva, you look lovely. Very compact wee bump. Mine has dropped a bit which is good cos I can breathe a bit better now. I can't believe all the babies coming soon. Who else will have babies actually born in September? I think I'm the last of us all, I'm only 34 weeks.
Attachment 13367
34 weeks, I do feel enormous!
I am still in one piece and contractions were pretty calm all night I'm guessing as I slept like a rock lol... Which is good... I want to be somewhat rested for this guy
Diva Glad you popped back in! You look great- I was that size at about 32 weeks lol.
DLTAG that's exciting that things are moving along for you. Do you still feel like she has turned? I really think she has and you will get good news at your ultrasound.
Mum23 is your little guy measuring big? You are all bump and look great!
So next week we will be meeting WAG, Fish, Diva and Salsa's babies?!? Did I miss anyone? This is so exciting ladies! Julian and Peyton are soon going to have lots of company :D
Ya next week is a baby boom lol! I can't beleive how many sept babies will not only be born in aug but within hours of each other :)
Can't wait to see all the babies to get added to the two beautiful babies already here
Wow alots gone on since I last came on, took me a good hour to catch up on all the post and pictures, the two new arrivals are stunning, congratulations mummys and good luck to all expecting inductions very soon.
This little lady is due in just 25 days, I dont see myself going to my due date. Im full term on Wednesday so going to get the ball rolling and attempt to get things moving, im hoping if im to dilate a little before my waters go I want my mw to break them for me, last time I was 2cm and my waters where broke my dd arrived withing 1hr and 45mins so I know it works for me. X
Wow such an exciting time!!! Yes I can't believe it either-after allllllll this time together, so many of our babies will all be born so close!!! That's pretty special ladies-feeling very blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of girls... Getting a bit emotional that our long journey of swaying then pregnancy is coming to an end - of should I say a beginning?? Lol can't wait to see all these new bubby pics - as much as I want this little possum out of me, there is something magical about these last few days/weeks....

Bump at 35+6 (dont mind the PJ bottoms, they are about the only things that fit me at the min)
Only 2 more (full) days till my midwife app to find out which was up (or not) this little trouble maker is.
Omfg I am quite disturbed at what my body has done today... All those times in my last 4 pregs where I thought I lost my mucous plug I was only losing the smallest fraction of it! I went the bathroom this morning and I wiped and it was mucousy very thick so I wine again and there is lots of blood and I keep wiping iPad it's literally never ending so I actually use my I'm sorry for the tmi but handfuls of it! Came out! So hopfully I go into labour tonight... But seriously flipping disgusting
Wag lol my friend had the same I never have fx for you tonite Hun, read a report that we should be eating 8 dates ;-s don't think I can 6 is enough! Xx
Mum23 and DLTAG you both look fabulous!!
WAG you are right, it is gross, the mucus plug is not a pretty thing even the name of the thing is gross! I really hope this means something for you! I always lose bits of my plug, but the only time I've known anyone lose the whole thing like that, they had their baby within 24 hours!! Good luck keep us updated! Any contractions at all?
I'm having pretty short contractions about 6 mins so I'm guessing it's nothin
WAG, that sounds very promising still! I've never had that happen before either.
That's a lovely bump DLTAG, I hope she's turned for you.
Southern, this baby was measuring large but seems to have evened out a bit. I tend to have large bumps but not that big babies. It's probably all crap abdominal muscles and fat and fluid (lol).
Still 6 mins :( feels like the never ending pregnancy with the non stop teasing my body is doing
Hmm maybe it is just starting out really slowly!!! Still hoping it turns into something!!!
Ya I would find it odd for my labour to progress so slow... I have only had fast labours..... O well... He will be here soon either way
Wag good luck. I had strong contractions for a day 4 days before my DS2 was born. He was born in an hour. So maybe its similar with you, your body is getting ready beforehand and the when it comes to actual labour it will be short.
39'wks and i had some contractions at night, they kept me awake but nothing alarming. I recon I have about 4 days left if so.
Ah wag and girlsway exciting stuff I had two sets of contractions before ds2 came in two hours anymore news wag?
Had first set of contractions last night got pretty strong for a bit but then stopped alls got to help though ....
Well I'm still very much pregnant,... Just woke up so havnt had time t analyze my crappy contractions that lead to nowhere lol... Either way in less than 48 hours I will be holding my little guy... Well who knows... My water is getting broken at 7am so I would expect to have him within 3 hours from previous experiences but who knows... This guy seems to like head games lmao
WAG -- don't feel like all of those contractions are "leading to nowhere." Your body is definitely getting ready! 48 hours, wow! I can't wait to hear how it all went and see pics of your little guy. This week is going to be so exciting on here!
I'm a bit of a lurker on this thread, I love to hear how you ladies who are much further on are getting on. Just want to wish you all lots of luck & best wishes for this week!! Can't wait to see some more baby pics!! :)

Omg the woman I live next to has just reached clinically insane! She put my flipping cat on her roof! I heard her window open and then I heard my cat meowing... No I don't have any actual proof but really .... My cat was missing all day after running out... She now smells different like someone else house you know what I mean... I would love to call the cops but without proof what can be done? But serious is she going to hurt me of my kids next?
WAG, I hope this doesn't come out wrong - I have had cats all my life and I love them - but that is so crazy I'm actually laughing out loud. It must have been night time where you live? More seriously, I'm pleased your cat is ok.
Ya lol night time...not offended at all her craziness makes me laugh as well lol
She has lost her marbles tho... She is crazy lol
Sorry, I still keep track and have to speak up regarding your neighbour. I'd put surveillance cameras up if I were you. You'd be catching her mad behaviour and be able to prove it to the police and CPS.
I'm beyond excited for this week as there are going to be lots of birthdays around here! WAG, you are up first for tomorrow, right? We're all looking forward to "meeting" baby Lennon!
Northern, how are you feeling this pregnancy? I'm so thrilled for you and will definitely continue to follow your journey!
WantingPink, Hope you and Peyton are doing well. Can't wait for an update from you and hopefully some more baby pics :)
Yes I was thinking that as well northern.... She is crazy!
Yes I'm hoping to have delivered by this time tomorrow morning... That would mean a 3 houris labour which I'm pretty confident I will get :) but then I think well just breaking the ater might not trigger labour right... I'm kind of expecting it to take off right away cause with Ezra the pit was doing nothing at all to me and nice he broke my water bam 2 hours later there was baby Ezra... Plus I've been contracting for weeks! So I have high hopes.... I ramble I'm sorry lol... I decided to bring one of my friends to L&D with me... My cousin is going to be pissed but honestly she drives me insane and I wouldn't be able to handle her... And I'm hoping my mother is late lol
So I prob won't make it on to this site to post pics tomorrow cause I don't know how to post pics from the iPad or iPhone soooooooo you guys could add me to facebook if you want ;) you can look me up by email I'm pretty sure... Rachel1252006@hotmail.com
WAG- I sent you a request :D
WAG what a crazy lady!!!! I am so excited for you tomorrow! I can't wait to hear about the birth story and see sweet pics of him. I am going to have to live vicariously through you ladies as I still have 27 long long long days! I've been contracting lots and lots, but we all know that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Northern, it is always nice to hear from you! I hope all is well.
I cant wait to have my body back and be able to work on my home projects again! I think my first project will be to tackle all the outdated Formica countertops in our bathrooms and kitchen. We cant afford to replace them so I've found tutorials online one how to do a faux painting that make them look like granite. I'm a little scared to try it, but honestly even if I butcher the project, they will still look better than what we have now. Maybe I'll practice on some scrap wood during bed rest (obviously I wouldn't actually paint in bed but I could find a comfy chair, put it in my garage and do it while my boys play outside) I'm just really itching to be productive!!!
I know you ladies may be getting tired of me posting pics, sorry:oops:. I can't help it lol. I did another little photo shoot with Julian and was happy with how these turned out so I really wanted to share my 2 favorites...

This one is special because my eldest was given that crocheted hat by a volunteer in the NICU 10 years ago and all of my babies have worn it home from the hospital. Julian will be my last baby boy to wear it :(
