Oh hotdogz I hope everything is ok hun.I'll be thinking of you and your sweet girl. Please let us know when you can ok. Rest up, take care. Sending love and positive thoughts your way x

Cinss I was only ever checked with Ds1 and only cuz I asked lol I don't think its the norm though. My ob mentioned it as she was going to perhaps do the cs earlier if I was dilating but as I don't want to have an earlier cs now I'm not wanting her to check. I think in the US they check from 37 weeks but not here, thankfully x

Thinking of you HotDogz. I hope everything turns out just fine, please try to relax. Big hugs!

I wouldn't want to be checked either if i was having a C/S, i haven't had a single internal exam by anyone, is that right? I think i only had my 1st one with DD when i arrived at the hospital. I am checking myself though in the shower, definatly no dilation yet and mucous plug firmly in position. I am having achy back too, i have so much chores to do but i find i cant really do much without having to rest my back every 10 mins.

Is it safe to check yourself? I've been really curious to do it to myself to see... never even attempted with my son but I'm so curious! Haha!

This baby has been having increased hiccups this past week!

In unrelated news... my hair is a wreck. I haven't been able to afford a haircut in ages (place I go to charges £48 - they're all fancy and vidal sassoon trained... I only trust them!) so I had been letting it grow out, but when I was working, I'd have to straighten it before work because I didn't have time to shower in the mornings and my hair looks like a wavy nest mess when I wake up. Well, my hair is terribly damaged. Major split ends that are breaking high up so it's just awful looking. It's really depressing. I'm cutting it all off again (like my photo sort of... except I've banned myself from straightening my hair anymore!) I've got a haircut tomorrow... my "prebirth" treat to myself... The lady who cuts my hair... I prewarned her on facebook to get ready to see a disaster... and help me. Heheh. So excited!

Just a quick update...we are having some complications. I might be MIA for a bit. We had an emergency bleeding issue this weekend that lead to monitoring overnight in the hospital. Baby has suddenly and dangerously developed far too much fluid. We go to the doc tomorrow (I was released, still clotting, contracting this afternoon). We see a specialist on Wed, if they can squeeze me in. They are talking possible fetal abnormalities Although its a good sign it is later in pregnancy and her previous scans were good and did not note problems. I am on bed rest for the time being. It's likely the docs (I saw a different one because I was rushed to the nearest hospital, not the one my docs are at) will choose to deliver a bit earlier than planned if her fluid is still increasing so quickly. I'll know more tomorrow. But I am thinking of you ladies and hoping all goes well for soon-to-be deliveries. I didn't want to just disappear. I'll try to update.

Oh my goodness - I'm thinking of you! Lots of love to you and baby. I hope everything turns out okay!

Hotdogz, I'm so sorry that you are going through this, how very scary!
Here come prayers of peace for you and your little one!

Hotdogz I just wanted you to know that my thoughts are with you and your family.

It's almost 5:30am here. I've been up for almost 2 hours. I've had a lot of bh during the night. When I got up to go to the bathroom I started bleeding. Not too much, but definitely enough to have to wear a pad. Do you think my dh should go to work? I have absolutely no real contractions yet.

OMG ThreeMen It's YOUR turn! I didn't realize it! YAY!!!!!!
Are you sure they are BH?

Pretty sure butterfly. My belly gets hard and they are a tad uncomfortable, but that's about it. They do happen often though. I'm so nervous. This is the first time my body had started to go into labor on it's own. With my first three I had to be induced due to issues with my liver. With my fourth I was induced 9 days after his due date. I did get a bloody show then too, but I had only dialated to 1.5 cm so they went ahead and induced. So my body seems like it's finally getting to decided when a baby will come...hahaha

That's awesome! I go in for induction too but I tell them no pitocin to start, just break my water! And it works
I wish you the best of luck and safest quickest delivery! Soon you'll be nuzzling that sweet little guy and lavishing him with kisses!

[suregena]

Hopefully you can avoid induction because artificial contractions are crazy. On your body and your bubby!

Sounds like how mine started, though! Maybe go for a walk today?
