October Babies! (continued)

Thanks ladies, ELP I did think of you afterwards and your prediction.
Who is still waiting for babies now? I've lost track lol

I love the pictures of Jude and Seth! Congratulations to navywife, pangea, and mob. I love the name Zara.
Pinkprincess-it seems like most of the October babies are wanting to hang out (or I guess I should say IN) for awhile. Reading the Sept due date group, I think most of them went early, so maybe our babes are making up for that-lol.
Lld-I can't say that I am familiar with croup, but on webmd they say that sometimes the flu vaccine helps to protect against, so if you got that hopefully little one will be protected. Also most viruses are contagious in the beginning so he's maybe past that now.I know my ds1 had a little cold a couple days before I delivered,and I was worried about that, so I feel for you and am sending positive thoughts your way.

Congratulations mob, he's gorgeous!

40 weeks today, according to dr. Friday is my due date according to me. ;)
She wants to induce on sat. I'm an 8 on the bishop scale....2.5cm and 75% effaced. I really don't want to be induced!!! I asked about membrane stripping & she said "if you haven't gone on your own by now, you aren't going to"
Totally bummed. She did say that I can just have her break my water then give it 2-3 hours before starting pitocin and that made me feel a bit better. Just frustrated this isn't happening on its own. Going to TRY to dtd tonight w DH to move things along but doubt that will really help.

How is everyone doing?? Anyone feel like their family is finally complete? Even though I didn't get a girl I could not imagine not having Ryder now. And Right now I feel like my family is complete and don't have that overwhelming desire for a girl. I am praying this stays and I can move on and just enjoy our family. Here is a picture of my sweet boy

Lld2006 - I'm sure you will go on your own if you get the chance, don't let your doctor pressure you into something you don't want. You are only due today and it's perfectly normal to go 10 days over due prior to induction, in fact here in Aus they wouldn't induce earlier than that without medical reason (not just because you are post dates). Hoping something happens soon for you though & the sweep does the job.

I'm 40+3 today and seeing my midwife this afternoon, I've had the 24th in my mind as babies birthday all along so let's hope I'm right. The other boys were both born at 40+4 so shouldn't be much longer now anyway.

* sorry just re read that she refused to do the sweep. Hopefully sex helps and then a big walk does the trick.

Ryder is gorgeous Navywife! I hope I have the complete feeling after this baby is born because this is definitely our last.

Navywife, I feel the exact same way as you! I didn't get my girl and that was devastating, but I could not imagine (nor do I want to) life without Duncan. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect final piece to our family's puzzle. Oh, and Ryder is beautiful!!!

Lid people go late all the time on their own! That dr is nuts for saying that... I went at 41 weeks with ds2 I know many overdue babies that didn't have to be induced

That's what I say!!! I'm frustrated because I was a bit teary and explaining my concerns and she brushed them off so quickly without compassion. I'm so emotional about it today. I know I don't need to show up as it's my body I just hate being put in this position. DH fell asleep before and chance to dtd which leaves me ticked off w him today. I wish there was something I could do to bring him on my own before sat morning!!!!
