Pink my heart aches for you. I know you will be snuggling a healthy baby whether it's in 3 days or 13 days.
 
Congratulations ja, what an adorable little boy.

Pink I really hope that you go into natural labor
 
O ja he's so handsome and weighs/height exactly what my dd1 did :)
 
Thank you so much everyone! I am so happy with my experience and still feel wonderful. I joked to my husband he was going to have to make some more money because I could do this 5 more times :haha: he didn't find it as funny.
I'm so in love, he has been perfect!
 
Congrats ja, hes divine!

Im headed in to see my OB in an hour. Tomorrow will mark a week of irregular contractions coupled with back pain, had show on Monday morning and a small gush Monday night, now midday Wednesday with weird irregular leaking all along and no progression. Would just love to know what is going on! They dont like doing cervical checks here before 41wks but I'm hoping she checks everything anyway. Fingers crossed, Im so bored with laying around unable to do anything!
 
Ja, he's a handsome little guy, congrats! :flower: And as for your comment to DH, you never know. My DH has either gotten a raise or promotion with every kid that we've had. He hadn't gotten a pay increase with this new baby, so we were starting to think maybe it wouldn't happen this time, but then lo and behold; he got a raise today! So I keep joking that we need to have more kids so we can make more money! :haha:

Flossie, good luck!
 
Oh my goodness ja he is perfection, bright eyed already

Good luck Flossie. Do you think you've had a slow leak of your waters?

Spiffy that's funny

Pink I'm praying that E makes a safe entrance into this world and that whatever way you deliver her you have a beautiful experience.
 
So I was very happy with my appointment, I am thinned out and dialated to 2cm already. She did an ultrasound because he doesnt appear to have grown in the past week. She is a little concerned his fluid levels are low, theyre adequate for now but she gave me a sweep to try and move things along (yay!). If I dont go into labour by Friday 9am I am booked in for a growth scan and we will talk induction Monday morning depending on the results. Now that the end is in sight I am a bit scared haha! Oh, and my husband nearly passed out during the sweep and I had to vacate the bed so he could lie down hahaha oh dear.. This man is an ex cop and now fireman may have seen all kinds of trauma but he apparently can't handle seeing his wife in discomfort hahaha uh oh!
Oh and she confirmed no slow leak :)
 
Oh man Flossie I wonder how your dh will handle labour then! Glad there is no slow leak and you were happy with your appointment

Spiffy, wow that's amazing that your dh gets promotions/payrises every baby!!

AFM I had a mw appointment, baby is 3/5 engaged and when she was trying to feel his position I had a contraction and she was like how often are you having those? She seemed a bit excited but I said it's been happening off and on nothing regular, so although it hurt I think its still just pre labor.
 
Pink don't remember if I mentioned it or not but my chiropractor told me to eat Chinese food when trying to induce labor! He said it is very high in estrogen which is the first of the hormones that spikes during labor! :hugs:

So exciting everyone is labor watching and such!! :happydance:
 
Oh wow! I'm sorry for your DH Flossie. What happens during a sweep?

NWZ glad to hear baby is progressing down.

Afm: I had my appt this morning. Baby' s heart rate is good(140s). I gained 2lbs and my blood pressure is 112/64. My cervix has moved just a little to center position. The doctors hoping it will go anterior by next week. He said its soft but still there's no dialation. I think it's time to do some labor inducing ideas. I don't want to be the last one pregnant in June!
 
Feeling pretty crampy this morning! Sciatica seems to be a little better wonder if that means the baby is moving further down! :shrug:
 
Just wanted to post a small update & say we are headed home! Could have went home yesterday evening but decided to hold off til morning. Things have been great. I'm very excited to finish typing up my birth story! Even prior to pregnancy I had a lot of interest in childbirth and had imagined what my birth experience would be like. Even though a few things could have went "better", I never imagined it would have been this great! :)
 
Ja I can't wait to read your birth story! It's like you've dropped a little teaser for us!
