Thanks for the birth story @Skye75 lovely pics!

Had my check up today. Nst was perfect which is a relief since I havent been monitored in almost 2 weeks. Dr did a sweep - she said still 50% effaced but 3cm dilated now. Drs orders were to “go home now and contract” lol. Definitely crampy but no definite contractions yet. But just had another clear out so hoping things are moving along. Planning to run errands today to get any last minute toiletries and after baby care I need so hubby doesnt have to run out in the freezing cold in a week. And hopefully the walking and in/out of car will progress things quicker. She did say I should come in to the hospital when contractions are 7 min apart bc they test for covid - I may still show positive and will then have to be cleared by infectious disease to not have to be isolated so I cant do my usual waiting until the last minute to go in. Darn.

We are doing great thanks. Struggling a little with breastfeeding and I was really letting it stress me out. He’s had mostly bottles the last few days and I think I’m just going to have to accept it’s not going to work for us. He has a slight tongue tie and the feeding specialist thinks that’s why he’s struggling to stay at the breast for long enough. He’s such a cutie.

he’s beautiful. I hope the feeding issue gets resolved soon but remember, fed is best. Happy baby and happy mummy is what’s important :)

glad NST went well :D. Ooh it can’t be long now surely. All such promising signs you’ve been having, the contractions the other day sound like they did progress you somewhat. Fingers crossed your Covid test is ok, mine was back negative 13 days after first positive test x

@Skye75 That sounds like a great birth! And he is such a cute little boy!

@Rach87 sounds like you are close!

I had an ob appointment today and baby girl’s estimated weight is 3kg/6.6lbs. She is head down and apparently her head is very low. I’m not dilated at all yet though.

glad scan went well. That’s a good weight too :D
 
AFM - CTG was perfect again today. Had a couple of contractions on the monitor but very sporadic and irregular. They’re not concerned about labour before section. BP good today; urine clear again. Baby estimated weight is 5lbs 1lb, so in 8 days time when I deliver, they’re expecting around 5lbs 11 - 6lbs. We shall see how accurate the growth scans are
 
So 20+ hours of BH/contractions, had a sweep and now nothing. ](*,)
 
@Rach87
I really think ure gonna go hon and soon. Glad ure bag is packed and ure ready 3cm is great just need them contractions to ramp up and stick around. But I think she will be here very very soon. Good luck chick I can't wait untill she is here ❤

@Tasha36089
He is beautiful sweet love his little jumper. I felt a bit overwhelmed at first but it definitely gets easier. I think ure amazing for sticking with the BF esp as it's been so hard. Don't be too hard on yourself hon if u want to stop then just stop u have done all u can and u have tried which is amazing. Well done mummy x

@Skye75
Lovely birth story. My epidural didn't work either.
What was having the balloon like?
I had a really horrible experience with the pessery this time. It caused hyperstimulation and it was absolutely agony. Like worse than labour.
I'm going to ttc one last time in spring and if we are successful I'm gonna ask if I can maybe try the balloon. I will have to be induced again and I'm so scared to go through that hyperstimulation again.
I don't know anyone that's had the balloon b4. But I think if I do get to go through labour again I wud prefer something without any hormone in to strat me off.

Glad scans and monitoring went well ladies. Lots more babies coming soon yippee
 
@Skye75
Love all ure photos hon u even got one with DH holding up the leg I love that haha. Beautiful baby congratulations.
 
@Suggerhoney the balloon wasn't so bad, a bit uncomfortable. It was okay getting it put in, though I do have a pretty high pain tolerance. It wasn't the most pleasant feeling when it fell out though lol!! not painful just uncomfortable and weird.

@Rach87 your signs sound promising!! fingers crossed baby makes an appearance soon
 
Contractions started again around 9pm. Of course right when I started dyeing my hair lol. (Covid really put my pre-baby prep timeline behind) Theyre staying around 13 min apart the last 12 hours but just lost my whole mucus plug. Gross. Dont think I lost it in one massive glob like that with the other two. Hopefully baby makes her debut today! Going to have a walk around Costco/Target to see if we can get things moving. We had a random blizzard yesterday while we were out so didnt get to do any walking around like I’d hoped.

Good luck!
 
27 hours of contractions…..completely stopped. [-( At least I got an ok night sleep for the first time in over a week. Lets hope today ramps up and I get this baby out.
