Anyone want a late bump buddy?

Hey I'm the 100th reply lol

Sounds good ladies, I need to get on the ball. Thinking of going shopping for the rest of my hospital bag stuff this weekend.

Daisy, enjoy that prenatal massage I had one on our "babymoon" vacation a couple months ago and it was divine!

Tank, that's a great idea doing freezer meals!

Daisy enjoy that massage! It sounds heavenly right about now!

Well I had my 37 week appointment this morning. She said no internals They only do them when it's necessary. But my GBS swab came back negative and I only gained 1/2 pound during the holidays....so I was happy about that! Blood pressure and HB were both good. She said I'm measuring ahead which I figured because I'm going to have a big baby. She had a feel around and I asked if his head was low and she said not yet She said I'm more than likely going to deliver on my due date. I mean I could still have him anytime but at the same time is three weeks really that big of a deal? It will be here before I know it!

i had a prenatal massage a few weeks ago from my doula and it was heavenly!! Enjoy it!! Thanks oliviarae! Im really into cooking so i wanted to make sure i had everything set up for my DH and anyone else who may be helping! I get an ultrasound on the 8th because my midwife isnt 100% if baby is head down, but im pretty sure he is. Have my appt. tomorrow and get my GB test and my first internal. Fingers crossed on ANY improvement or ill feel like i wasted alot of money on all those vitamins! haha

Zoela weighs 7lbs 1oz, which is 50 percentile, measuring right on with her due date. She is also head down and fully engaged. I'm 1cm dilated and 20% enfaced. Heart rate is 140bpm. (She is 12oz bigger than DD was at this point.) We will be meeting our little love one day soon.

I do know that I won't be induced before 39 weeks and for sure I won't be allowed to go past my EDD.

I'm a bit surprised that she's taking up my whole belly. And she doesn't have much room left in there. My Dr. will really be looking at my placenta. With GD thats our worry that the placenta will stop doing its job earlier. So, I'm very curious to hear what he says on Monday. And I will go with whatever he suggests.

Ahhh look at those chubby cheeks!! So cute!!
I had my first internal a few days ago and was just told baby is engaged and head down but cervix still high and closed. Does that mean I'm not dilated or effaced at all?

Good to hear all is going well. My doc told me I gained 2 lbs over holidays!!! Oopsie

OliviaRae: Yes, that means no dilation or enfacement. However, I heard that every week with my first and still had her at 39+1 with no dilation or enfacement prior.

I have another OB appointment next Tuesday. I'm really hoping I have atleast a little progression. It's deflating to hear that you're nowhere. Atleast give me a 1cm... anything to signal a light at the end of the tunnel. I've been on my ball alot, so hopefully it's doing something. Although, I seem to remember not being dilated at all or effaced until after 38 weeks with our other two. I just want to know for sure that I get my induction on the 20th. I have to be atleast 1cm, and 10% for my OB to do it. I was with the other two, so I'll probably be okay, but the sooner I get to there, the sooner I can relax about it.

 

[Leinzlove]

I would think you'd definitley have some progression. Have you been having discomfort and bh.

I think when I had a few days when it hurt to walk. And I couldn't figure out whether I was going into labor or not, baby was engaging or I was dilating. I wouldn't know because I was 35 weeks and my Dr. wouldn't check me after I told him of the discomfort. He said he wouldn't want to irritate my cervix.

Tons of BH since 17 weeks, none really painful until 30 weeks. At this point, I have them all throughout the day, everyday. Some take my breath away a bit. I have another appointment next Tuesday, so we'll see if anything's happening. I sure hope so.

 

[Leinzlove]

Sounds to me like you'll hear progression on Tuesday. I go Monday and I'm really curious if I'll get an induction date. Who knows what my Dr. plans?

 

[mommyB]

I go back Tuesday and she will say......oh you'll have him on your due date!

Ooooh I hope you ladies have some progression happening! Can't wait to hear some updates!

So my little guy turns two next week I can't believe it's been two years already! His birthday party is planned for Saturday the 12th at an indoor playground in my town. Super excited!!

Hope everyone is feeling good!!

With both our other two, I lost mine and never knew it. Maybe it'll be gone by Tuesday. I'll take anything I can get.

A lot of women never notice there's! Hopefully Tuesday brings you some good news!! I'm not going to think too much about losing some today because it could happen tomorrow or it could happen 2-3 weeks from now! Kinda hard not to think about it though

I didn't sleep hardly at all lastnight. I'm so tired, I could cry. I can't take a nap though, because my daughter needs to do her homework, and she has reading tonight, which means that I HAVE READING. Then, I have dinner to make in an hour and 39 minutes. To top it off, my back is hurting, I have a ton of pressure in my butt (sorry tmi), and when I spoke to my husband an hour ago he told me HE'S getting sick. I'm feeling sorry for myself, and just want to crawl in to bed and stay there until morning. Oh, also looks like I'll be doing bathtime and bedtime by myself, as well.

Awww I'm sorry! I've been so tired too! I was literally falling asleep on the couch today while my son was playing. I feel so guilty! And tonight was supposed to be bath night...and well I skipped it because I didn't have the energy! Not much longer girly!

 

[Tankmom23]

went to my dr. appt today. Mr man is in the perfect position but she didnt do an internal. I guess she doesnt do routine ones until around 41 weeks. I dont mind really i guess the info would literally just drive me crazy! I don't remember losing my plug with my daughter. Maybe i will notice this time. I know what you mean about the exhaustion thing!!! My husband went back to work today after being laid off for 2 months and it was the first time i had to do everything on my own. Had a dr. appt for my daughter, then went and registered at my birthing center, then out to the grandmas for a visit, then to my midwife, then to mcdonalds as a treat for my daughter for being so good while getting her shots. I almost fell asleep while she was playing at the playplace. Now a 20 min break before im off to my CPR class, and home to make dinner/clean. WHEW! And i was hoping to get some sewing done tonight.. yeahhhhh right!
