September Chit Chat for Ladies Due in Sept/Oct/Nov

[Bumblebee]

So... I totally had a baby today!!!! Ivy Georgia was born at 5:04pm. 8lbs and 19" long. My water broke ay.home at 5:50am so we kinda had to just go for it. Can't believe she's so big for a.preemie. she's in the NICU right now for breathing monitoring and blood sugar levels. She's not on oxygen or anything, they are just watching. I can't sleep because I can't stop thinking about her! Ready for morning time so I can go see her. What a crazy surprise!! I'll post more details once I'm at a real computer.

Very many congratulations on the birth of your baby girl and what an amazing weight! I love her name aswell. Hope you and baby are doing fine and well!!

Bumblebee - I've been that way all week with back pain, contractions and cervix pain too. I declined a stretch and sweep when my mw offered on Tuesday just because I really wanted Sadie to wait until my Mom got here (she arrived today) so we'd have someone to watch my other kids when I go to the hospital. We also had a similar situation where ds3 had his first day of preschool today and I didn't want him to miss it.

I have been drinking lots of raspberry leaf tea, but that's about it. I also walk a lot - picking up and dropping off the kids at school, marathon shopping trips, etc. - but that doesn't seem to have an effect on me. I doubt I can talk dh into dtd because my Mom has the room directly across the hall from me. Any other suggestions?

I see the mw again on Tuesday and I'll definitely get a stretch and sweep then, but I really, really hope Sadie comes before then. I hope you get to meet your little man this weekend too!

Aww bless glad that your mum is here now I've tried long walks but my sciatica limits them, I don't eat anything spicy because I have the worst heartburn and indigestion this pregnancy only only been eating light foods. My hip again makes sex very difficult. Pineapple make my tongue oh so sore and that leaves nipple stimulation! LOL! but don't think that could be very effective either. So I'm out of ideas too, also too scared to do anything else really.
Apart from that nothing is happening today to me to indicate labour is imminent..... babys actually very quiet maybe he is resting up for the big day eeek!

[Butterfly Spirit]

My mw called today to see how I'm doing. She said she was going over the schedule and noticed that there's a 24 hour period on Sunday when none of the 3 mws I've been meeting with are on call. So if I go into labour on Sunday I'm going to have a complete stranger deliver Sadie. Talk about pressure to go into labour today or tomorrow!

She said she feels horrible since they usually make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen. She said she can drop by my house tomorrow morning to see if I've had any changes in my cervix, and if I'm even just 4cm she would, in her words, make sure I have my baby tomorrow. I guess she means she'd give me a stretch and sweep - not sure what else.

So cross your fingers for me, ladies!

YAY for 40 weeks love, Are you just SOOO excited!?!?!?!?

I AM!!!!!

Are you going to Let them 'strip your membranes' now you are 40 weeks? I stiLL don't know what that means... LOL

[Mochagirl]

My midwife's going to maybe come over to check my cervix today. She said there's no point stripping my membranes unless I'm at least 3-4cm, so I'm praying there's been some change in my cervix since my appointment last Tuesday! I'm super desperate for her to come out today since if she waits till tomorrow she'll be delivered by a stranger!
