Sweet dream thinking of you honey...
So exciting to meet baby girl! Xx
Guess I was wrong :cry:
The feeling is gone. So are the contractions. I fell a sleep at 5 and DH has taken the kids to school.
Got a headache now...
Its so disapointing and frustrating that I cant read my body anymore. I'm always so good at knowing my body.....
I think your still really close sweetdream. Just try and rest now and see how you feel after.
Wow, I have been MIA for a while and feel like I missed so much! Daisy, congrats on your little girl!! Post a pic when you get a chance :-)
Lala, this is a gas relieving product I have not tried myself, but have heard AWESOME things about: Amazon.com: Fridababy The Windi Gas and Colic Relief, 10-Count: Baby
We thought Lyra had reflux and the probiotics really seemed to help. We never ended up having to put her on any medication, but each baby is different, so definitely trust your gut!
Sweatdream, fingers crossed your time is close!!
I am 36 weeks today and just got back from the doctor. She is telling me to lay low, no sex or working out for the next week to try and get me to 37 weeks, but he will be here soon. I am already 2-3 cm dilated and 70% effaced :-) We have maternity pics scheduled for Sunday, which I will be really sad about missing if he comes before that, but after that, I'm ready for him! We stilol have to pack our hospital bag and do a few more things around the house, but overall we're ready. The only downside to him coming early is that my mom will likely miss being here. She'll be in Canada for work from the 2-12 of Feb and there's really no way she can get out of it, so that sucks. But it is what it is.
Sleep has been eluding me lately as well, and my tummy hurts pretty bad at night. I've been getting BH contractions since about 20 weeks, but definitely getting more and more lately. Not too much longer for any of us!!
Wow crazy cat you are ready! Hope he stays put until after your photo session and preferably to 38 weeks. Am I right in thinking Lyra was early?
Your mum will be a big help after you come home from hospital think of it like that, we all need our mums though don't we! Good luck ! All these baby updates are making me super excited to meet my little one X
Yay crwzy cat! Very exciting. I hope he stays in for your photoshoot. As a photographer i know the importance of great maternity shots!
I must say though I'm super jealous of all you ladies getting to meet your little ones soon. My midwife won't even check me until I'm 38 weeks and they say that even if I was dilated it wouldn't mean a thing. It's kind of disapointing to me bc I'd like to know what's happening!
I too have been having Braxton hicks that seem to be getting worse/more frequent .. only time will tell I guess.
You ladies are getting so close! With ds3 i walked around for 1 month dilated to almost 4 cm. He ended up being late by 3 days...i know how long those last weeks can be!
Congrats to those who already gave birth!
I too was walking around 2 cm 90% and -1 station and was 1 week and 1 day late SO crazycat maybe your mom WILL make it- haha. Robin, I made them check me very appointment but honestly all it did was get my hopes up for nothing since I was so late in the end so try to breathe and relax- she'll be here soon!
No baby yet...
Its night time again. I so hope I get a decent night of sleep...
And no contractions again.
I'm going to sleep now. Very tired
Yeah, there are plenty of people that walk around fully effaced and somewhat dilated, so who knows. She seemed pretty sure there was no way I would make it to the 12th, but they don't really know. With my daughter, at my 37 week apt they said they were confident she wouldn't come in the next week, but alas, 2 days later my water broke! One thing that makes me think he might be coming soon though is the fact that I'm dilated at all. With Lyra, even though my water broke and I was having contractions, I was not dilated at all, not even 1 cm when I got to the hospital. They ended up giving me pitocin to help speed it along since I wasn't doing it naturally. We shall see!
Luckily I have my in-laws here to help with our daughter even if my mom isn't here, but yes, I would love it if she could be here somewhat soon after for sure!
Fingers crossed we all get to meet our little soon!!!
Crazycat and sweetdream- keep us posted! So many babies coming soon- can't wait to see pictures!
Wow, Crazycat! I'd love for my LO to come a little bit early but I am nervous I will end up going overdue.
Robin - I am a day over 36 weeks. As soon as I hit 38 I will be bouncing and walking and all the stuff to get labor going. I have limited time off of work after so going early would be great for me. I just have today and tomorrow at work, then monday I run one work errand and am done until baby gets here. I am so ready!
Good luck everyone!

I'm 36 weeks on sat.. so we are pretty close!. I have my olsest sons birthday tomorrow and then a busy week next week. After that I will be full term (37 + weeks) and she can come anytime after I feel like!. I am starting my natural induction at 37 week mark. I was overdue with my last little guy and want to start getting the ball rolling with this one!
Very exciting time for all of us. 😁
I'm 40 weeks today. Dr. appointment this morning. open about 2 1/2 cm. Going for a ultrasound appointment to check the baby well being. Hope I can give birth this weekend. I'm so ready!
Dr. said hospital wouldn't induce labor until I'm one week over due. So, I hope I don't have to be past due 1 week. Trying to walk around a lot to get labor going.
I have been MIA for a while because our little princess came too early due to a rupture of the membranes. But we made it to week 37 which was good…
Livia Helen was born on the 7th of January and we are still trying to gain weight and hoping that soon her brothers and father are getting better from their influenza… She is really very sweet and I am so happy to have finally my little girl (who is looking so much like her father... ;-)).
Daisy, congrats on your little girl..
Sweatdream, Crazycat and all the others… wishing you all the best…

Congrats Castch! Such a sweet little lady!!
Robin, what techniques are you planning to use? I did some things last time that worked really well but made my labor's really fast which makes me nervous this time around.

Congrats castch. She's beautiful!
Future - just basically everything I've read to help induce. Lol this includes:
Eating pinnaple daily
6 dates
Evening prim rose oil-orally/inserting
Drinking RLT
Sex
Walking 1 mile every other day
Bouncing on ball
Balsamic vinager on foods.
Why what worked last time for you?
Well, it is controversial and I'm sure people here wouldn't agree...but I had an induction date scheduled the first time around so I tried Castor oil.

Oh yes! I tried a tiny bit with my last but it didn't work for me. I may not have taken enough though.
Super congrats castch! How much did that early girl weigh?
PS- LOVE her name!
Gorgeous catch! What a little cutie and lovely to hear from you X
Yeah, I took plenty. I have quite a few friends that have also done it successfully. I just started taking EPO and drinking the RRL tea today though. I might try nipple stimulation this time too but not until I'm full term. I'm hoping that these will help me get things moving when my body is ready this time.

Lala, Livia weighted 2.6kg and then staied for a long time at 2.4kg...
Now we come finally close to 3kg... :rolleyes:
Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in to announce that baby Micah Roman is here! He was born 1/30 at 39w1d (I was induced for hypertension). He was born at 12:18 and weighed 8lbs and was 20" long.

Abi - he is adorable! How do you look so good in the hospital?!? What a gorgeous mommy and son :-)
Congrat Abi to your cute little son and you are a wonderful looking mother...

Thank you everyone! He is sooo snuggly and sweet. Our whole family is smitten with him! And y'all are too sweet. Thank you :)
I'm on board with everyone else- he's adorable and you look fab!
So...who all is left still to have our babies?
How's everyone feeling? We are 37 weeks tomorrow, so will begin trying the various methods for natural induction. I am ready for this little guy to be in my arms instead of my stomach, lol. It's partly sad to think I'll never be pregnant again, but at the same time, things are getting so extremely uncomfortable! Plus, I'm just anxious to meet him :-)
Oh, and we finally finished the nursery! Check it out:

lovely nursery, do you have a tula in that guitar material too? hope all goes well for the birth xx
Thanks! No, I don't have a Tula yet...that may come later. I've got 2 ergos, a wrap, and some slings, as I love baby wearing, but was holding off on buying a Tula until I make sure he's the baby wearing type, lol. They are not cheap! But if/when I get one, I'd love to find it in that pattern for sure :-)
Wow great nursery crazy cat! !
I Love it!!
I'm right behind you girl! I'm 36.5 weeks now. Going to start induction stuff tomorrow actually. Midwives confirmed all my methods are safe to go ahead with. Starting to get super anxious as well. I'd like to meet my daughter!
Gorgeous nursery crazy cat X
