[Wanting-a-girl]

Ya I'm thinking it should be all I need as well! I'm hoping so I hate iv's lol... What time is ur induction on the 28th? Mines at 630 am on tues as long as its not busy if it I just have to wait for a room to clear

Fish I have to wait for spontaneous labour, they won't
induce me. If i go as far as due date I will go to the hospital and beg :-)

I'm 630am wed 28th - again unless a delivery room is unavailable. I'm soooooo excited and can't believe it's only 5 more sleeps for me! Today is a super busy day with Kindy, a doc appoint and swimming lessons. Fridays always fly by. Then tomorrow my DH has booked me in for a pregnancy massage, mani and pedi (to get spruced up for the arrival!) lol I got my hair done yesterday. So feeling very pampered at the moment. Then I just have 3 more days which I'll do a complete house clean/food shop so when my mum is looking after my 3 while DH and I stay in hospital the house is super organized and easy for her. All she'll need to do it bring the kids in to the hospital to visit every morning. But there won't be any other jobs she needs to do! I get my OCD from her and I know she'll try clean the house for me before I return, but if I get it all done before hand she won't need to try and fit that in. At most she'll do a vacuum and a mop!

Hi Ladies,
just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I can't believe how close a bunch of us are.

WantingPink -- your daughter is so precious! And she looks just like her 3d ultrasound pic, how neat!

Southern -- you look fantastic! I'd never guess you had a baby just two weeks ago! You have such a lovely family.

WAG -- I hope the sweep will do something for you! I had 2 or 3 done with DS2 and he still was only born at 41+5 (even though I was 4-5 cm and 80% effaced on my due date). By the end, I was walking around at 5-6 cm and still no labor in sight.
Are you still eating dates? Sorry to hear about your crazy neighbor drama. That's a lot to be dealing with right now...

Thorz -- hang in there, not too much longer! Although I know that every day can seem like an eternity at this stage. You look amazing by the way!

DLTAG -- any news on baby's position? Have you tried seeing a Chiro to do the Webster technique? I am not sure what it involves...I just remember reading about it. Fingers crossed she'll turn on her own if she hasn't already.

Not too many news here. I have been sitting at 2cm and 50% for the last two weeks (had a checkup yesterday), which is odd because with DS2 I dilated more and more with each week that went by. According to the last ultrasound, he should be well over 8lbs by now and I have gained about 16-17lbs. Our tentative induction date is still set for August 31st and if I haven't progressed past 2cm by then, my OB wants to do the foley bulb and see how that goes, then possibly break my water after that. This worked really well for a friend of mine with her second baby. She delivered within 5 hours.

Oh on a disappointing note...I found out yesterday I have group b strep with this pregnancy!!! There is a chance that I am allergic to penicillin (we don't know but my brother and dad are) so I am supposed to get the next best antibiotic, which could still cause a reaction. I just called my doc's office though and told them I am NOT comfortable experimenting with potential allergies during labor and that I want a GBS re-rest on Monday where they test for sensitivity to see what strain I have and what type of antibiotic would work on it. I am taking massive doses of probiotics and vitamin c now and secretly hoping my new test will turn out to be negative so I can avoid the antibiotics altogether...

Here's last week's 37-week bump pic

Ya still just crampy so I've lost hope that it's working cause it's been 10 hours... I've had a bit of spotting.... When I had my sweep with ds2 I was 5 cm too and it didn't work either lol... I content waiting til tuesday now that I know I get to go with my induction plans of just breaking the water... Altho I really don't want my mom and if I go into labour spontaneously I can just say my labour was too fast to call lol

I had GBS with ds1 I'm allergic to penicillin so I really have no idea what they gave me... I don't remember... But I had no reaction...

5 sleeps here too! Time differences mess with my small confused brain!

Salsa do you have room for another when you go for the massage and treatments . Have a lovely time and enjoy it x

Diva lovely bump pic and she may have turned, since mon (when i thought she may have turned) thins have defo been very different in there. Sorry to hear you have group strep b too x

So exciting that we will have hopefully 3 babies by next wed, really looking forward to all the pics and updates.

Well i've defo started to loose my plug (sorry), had 3 lots now and 2 in the past 24 hours so rather excited that things are getting moving down there, still getting the stabbing pains every now and again too. She better stay in there another 9 days tho till i'm full term.
