@Taytum - yea adults can get it but often there immune system is strong enough to fight it off... i guess being pregnant kind of compromises my immune system a bit.
@Boyz - omg well done, how exciting for you!! goodluck with the last 3cm, you've almost made it!!! how exciting xox
Super excited for you Boyz! Wishing you all the best 😍😘

Congrats Boyz!!!!! Enjoy every minute with her and your loved ones! Can't wait for your vbac story...
Congrats Boyz ♡♡
And thanks for asking Taytum. I was in another round of prelabor for almost 48 hours, but didn't go in since it didn't pick up. My midwife did a sweep yesterday, and even had thought I had a slow leak of amniotic fluid (but I didn't :/), so I'm just wrestling with the fact that I'll probably end up being induced despite all of this stuff lining up beforehand...
Between this and how unsupportive my SO has been, I don't know how I can ever do this again. I feel like I'll never get my boy and can't imagine wanting this girl. Every day I wish this wasn't real.

Oh Hun :( please, trust me when I say that your heart will start to heal as soon as you see her and hold her and smell her.... I still remember that first rush of love like it was yesterday.... You will see that she is your child created by your love. I'm not saying the GD will disappear overnight but wether you feel the love hit you like a truck or if it is more of a slow burn, you WILL feel the love, I promise :) GD in pegnancy is the worst (I know, I have been there BADLEY twice) but it does start to subside. Nature is very clever and all of these beautiful babies have a way of endearing themselves to us, and before you know it, the first thing on your mind in the morning and before you go to bed at night will be her (in a good way!) you are on the home stretch. Stay strong Hun and trust your mama instinct. You will get through this. Sending many hugs xxxx
Thank you <3Quote:

Now with the impending feeling of "failure" to need induction (especially since they don't want me going too far past my EDD because of a few different hormonal issue worries), I'm right back to just deep resentment.
And I hate to say it, but my SO has been so awful. He's so excited for the baby, but focuses so much on the baby that I feel completely forgotten as I'm sitting in pain because the baby's so low that my hips don't work right, etc. etc. I'm obsessing and doing so much work for optimal baby positioning, getting the house ready, etc., and I get yelled at if I get even a little emotional :(
Throwaway the last days are the worst dear, its very normal to feel this way, especially when suffering from GD... I hope it will be over soon and you'll start bonding with your little baby and forgetting all the negative feelings!
Boyz she is beautiful! I am so happy for you.
Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!
Congrats Boyz on your princess! She's perfect - can't wait to hear all about it! [emoji177]
Throwaway - I'm so sorry SO is forgetting you. I feel like my DH was so excited about the baby and he couldn't relate to how I was feeling. But he was always supportive - I hope your SO comes around.
I hope you don't feel like a failure. My BFF was induced with her daughter in February and it sounds like it's common with FTM. After having an early baby, I wish I would have gone full term. We worried so much about him being early and the nurses were really scaring us and against anyone coming to visit us since he was early. So instead of celebrating with family and friends we sat in the dark hospital room just the three of us. It was so hard. Your little girl is going to be perfect!
Also, the first two weeks after having him home I WISHED I was still pregnant again. It was easier than a newborn. Adjusting to our new life was rough the first few weeks. [emoji17]
I agree - those first moments are so magical and you'll know you're her mommy. I think right now it's a combination of your feelings about still being pregnant, your SO and GD. Hang in there, lots of love to you! ❤️
Successful blue sway in May of 2016! Thanks so much Gender Dreaming! [emoji170]
Boyz ! She is just perfect !! Congratulations 🎀

Had my 37 week appointment today. 2cm and 50% effaced:)
Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!
Needing to be induced is never a failure Hun. I had to have the pitocin drip with ds1 as my waters broke then 24hrs later.... Absolutely nothing happened! But he was born ok, and the next time with my 2nd little guy, well my body knew what to do and he popped out like a fresh pea ;) as long as baby AND you are ok, no birth , be it 100% drug free, induced, c-section etc is a failure :) and I think you need to have a little chat with your SO; remind him of the ancient proverb 'happy wife happy life' good luck xxx

Can't wait for your update yogi!!!
Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!
Tp- i needed to be induced with ds3. Was abit daunting but got through it. I think you need to put your feet up abit (something i should do too). Are you having anyone else with you when you deliver besides your other half? I found having someone else (my sister) as well as my dh helped me cope better for the birth.
All the best yogi.
On the home stretch Mommymachine.
Im 35+5 and i am so ready to deliver a baby. Im over work, im tired im sore. I had a bout of regular braxton hicks last night for an hour about 7 min apart that got me excited and as soon as ds3 jumped on my belly to snuggle they went away 😂 cervix feels pressure and sore but passed no plug yet.
The arm that i had the whooping cough injection in is still so sore. Im going to the drs tmro i think there may be some nerve damage as the pain goes down my arm. Just what i need when trying to manage a household and get ready for baby no5.
I have an ultrasound on Friday so at least ill get some prediction on this ones weight though i don't think it will be a reflection of what to expect at birth 😀

I m doing great ladies and so is Lia. She lost 5% of her birth weight in 24 hrs which is normal.
Birth story: I went to hospital at 4 am on 6 th june to get her monitored and i ws having pains 15 mins apart. They hot me hooked and checked my cervix. It was 3 cm. i walked around in hospital for 3 hrs. Had breakfast walked and jumped on ball for an hr. They checked me again and it ws still 3 cm no change. But pains were there bearable ones. At 2 pm they sent me home. I went to my ob from hospital and asked for cervix check. It ws 4 cm. she did a sweep. And sent me home saying i ll be delivering soon as my cervix is thin. Went home had acupuncture took a bath at 3 pm.
I just lied down in bed after a long bath. Pains got stronger. After 5 mins my water broke. I went to hospital at 4:30pm. They checked my cervix. It was still 4 cm. i was a bit disappointed. But pains got stronger. Put me to birthing room. At 7 pm i asked for epidural as pains were after every 3 mins n very strong. Anesthologist came at 8:15 and i got a relief. Nurse checked me at 10:30 and i was fully dilated. She told me not to push as ob was in another delivery. But i couldn't help it. Too much pressure. I pushed twice n ob came in. I pushed 3 or 4 more times and Lia was here at 11 pm. It was a long day starting at 4 am but pushing stage ws too quick. All worth it.
She ws 7.5lbs 20 inches long. Inhaled some liquid n went to nursery for 30 mins. Shes all healthy and breast feeding but i m not getting enough milk. Shes keeping me awake all night. Shes a cry baby. I m getting too much after pains. [emoji17]

U had a long day boyz but it was all well worth it 😊
I hate those after pains and i wasnt getting enough milk in the first 24 hours as well so the baby wanted to feed every 15 min causing my nipples to go sore 😣 but then the flow did kick in so just give it sometime

Hi ladies! Csection went fabulous. Delivered baby at 2:16pm (PST). weighed 7lbs 5oz. Still haven't requested pain meds since delivery and tubal ligation. Baby also latched on right away with no hesitation. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4f61e6c153.jpg

Congrats yogi, thats wonderful news! glad to hear you arent needing pain meds atm either xo enjoy your cuddles
Congrats yogi hes gorgeous
Looks like i may have some nerve damage from my vaccine. Getting the run around atm in terms of follow up and need to organise nerve conduction studies (which will likely be a while).
Im due for pathology tmro so will talk with the hospital. Can't wait til this little dude is born though very much looking forward to seeing who he looks like and enjoying that new baby smell
