Im considered full term this saturday (due the 31st though). ...i wish i had a crystal ball to know when this show is gonna get on the road...wouldn't that be awesome haha.
I started EPO yesterday (under MWs care). I have some cervical scarring due to endometrial cells on my cervix and so labor is really hard for me from 0cm-4cm and takes days of consistent contracting every 5 minutes just to get to active labor. So she said i would be a good candidate for EPO. The goal is to soften the cervix so it will be more pliable and the scar tissue wont be as tough, so that i can dialte more normally. We discussed cervical "massaging" during labor as well. We will take a wait and see approach with that. Im hoping the EPO can soften things up enough though.has anyone ever taken it? thoughts? She said it doesn't induce labor, just makes my cervix softer for once im in labor. I take 2 orally every day and then use one vaginally at night.
MW wants me to continue belly wrapping bc she said the baby is smaller (though healthy) but my uterus is super stretched and i also have high amounts of amniotic fluid (not polyohydromisis, but just a bit more than average). So bc of that she still has a lot of room that she could flip into some other position. Her head is totally floating atm. So we are trying to prevent her from doing that. Yesterday she was LOT position. Hopefully she stays there!

Congratulations... What a good size boy.
I'm going in for my second attempt at turning this baby today. I hope it works.
So who's left then? :)
Me I'm left !! Due Saturday but not expecting to go before the 19th and then any time up to 24 th as I'm always late
If I don't go soon I'm going to shove my hand up there and rip him out. I'm done. I'm not due til the 20th though. I've had a 38+4, 39 and a due date baby. God give me strength lol.
Me! im left. I reckon i'll be the last one. Im due August 31st. Went 41+5 with DS1 and 38+3 with DS2. My water always breaks over 30 hours before they actually arrive though so in which case labor has begun at 41+4 and 38+2. I really have no clue what to expect this time. Im considered full term this Saturday. Sometimes i think i'll go early again and other times i think i should just plan to go 42 weeks again and be happy if it happens before...but that gets tough on the hard days
I am going in for a C-section on Aug 19th. Can't wait to finally meet this little one!!
Congrats what a fantastic weight, well done xQuote:

:rofl: That's exactly how I felt at the end of my pregnancy!Quote:

On another note - has anyone had period pains ? I had a few period type pains last night - not tightenings just achey and sometimes sharp stinging like pains right under my bump. I am wondering if it maybe an infection as the midwife said yesterday she was sending my urine off to be tested as had unusually high protein and something else in it.... I hope its not thats all i need right now !!
Well looking at my notes and the 3 different dates that the midwife has in there I am today either 3 days overdue, 1 day overdue or due in 2 days time so at the most i have 16 days left - I really hope its sooner though since i commited to going back to work so soon HOPING baby would be here on time - if it comes 2 weeks late i will literally have 2-3 weeks off :-( Unless of course I win the lottery :-)
How is everyone else feeling at the moment ?
I've replied on the new thread xQuote:

Enjoy your daughter and go shopping for some really cute pink outfits!
I'm still lurking!
How are you ladies?
Here's my girls today at nearly 10 weeks old..
Attachment 13191
38+1 today. Cant wait to meet my baby girl!!!
Yay Falling not much longer now. So exciting.
I wish it would happen soon. Im a SAhM and DH takes our only car to work everyday. I am going stir crazy sitting around waiting for it to happen. My house has never been more clean and thats only bc of pure bordem and my trying to take my mind off labor. I think im more anxious this time around than the other two bc ive been thro this twice now and know quite well what to expect lol. I just wish icould get this done and over w. the pregnancy isnt whata bothering me in the least-its the part of waiting for the dire pain to start lol. I know every pregnancy is different but aince i went two weeks 'late' w DS1 and two weeks 'early' w DS2 i am a complete mess wondering when ita going to happen and if its going to be yet another 30+ hours of labor like my other two.
Falling mine were 39 and 46 and 38 hours and then little miss was from 12 midnight to 10.36am and the contractions were not unbearable until about 3-4am so really only 7-8 hours I too was worried about it but long previous labours doesn't necessarily mean this one will be the same. Good luck !!
Oh i so hope im that lucky!!! That gives me some hope
Good luck Falling!
Good luck, Falling! I'm thinking about you. Hope it's very soon, I understand that the waiting is the worst part. I wanted to get it over with and have my baby in my arms. FYI-DS1 was 21 hours of labour, though only intense for 6 or so. DS2 was 14 hours of labour, intense for about 6 hours. DD was born in 3 hours and only the last hour was really intense pain. Maybe your labour will be much easier this time. Think positively about your body and your baby's wisdom-trust your body, it was designed for this task. I know that sounds terribly cheesy but it's just so true.
Just updating.
3 days "overdue"..really hoping she appears soon.
this thread has been pretty quiet...no wonder though seeing how im pretty sure im the last of the crew
Oh falling it won't be long I do keep checking back
me too.
and me!
6 days over and counting...BLAH!
On the bright side falling that means only another 8 days at most probably !
She is finally hereeee!!!!!!
Lilah Victoria was born this morning (Sept. 7th at 41 weeks exactly) at 2:49am after a speedy HB delivery. The MW arrived about an hour before she was born, so there was not time to fill the birth pool (we tried but couldn't wing it). She is my first "land birth" but honestly it was my best birth. I wish i would have had the water like w my other two, but her birth was by far the most smooth and "normal" haha.
She weighs 7lbs & 4oz (same exact weight as DS2 who was born at 38+3!). She is about 19in long (possibly a little taller but we couldn't get her legs to straighten out lol). She is so danty and petite. I am so in love and so glad i had a positive birth experience. After two 32 hour labors with my boys, i am so happy to have one that went this way. My waters didn't break until about two hours before she arrived and even then it was just a leak and let me just say that pain from the "waves" were FAR more managable than even 2CM pains without waters intact (w my boys my water broke before labor started).
I still cant believe i finally gave birth lol. it obviously hurt but it wasn't nearly as painful as my two previous births (nor nearly as long!)
Our family is now complete. <3
I cannot believe that our dreams came true and we finally have a daughter. It brings tears to my eyes every time i think about it. I feel like im in a dream. Someone pinch me! I never imagined seeing the day that God brought me a daughter <3
