Anyone want a late bump buddy?

[mommyB]

Had my 38 week appointment today and still no internal. I did mention the loss of plug and the constant cramping and he didn't seem to concerned. I lost 1/2 pound from last week which is good because I'm already more than 10 pounds lighter than I was when I delivered DS. I gained 40 with him and I'm at 20 pound weight gain with this one. So I'm pretty happy about that Im measuring a bit ahead which is pretty normal for me. He said that baby will be 8-9 pounds roughly which also made me happy because he didn't say 10 pounds

How is everyone else doing?? Anyone in labour?

At the OB now, waiting for my appointment. I'm so hoping for even just a little progression. PLEASE!

 

[Leinzlove]

MommyB: 8-9lbs isn't bad. I'm thinking I'll be closer to 7. There probably is no need to do an internal because you can have baby any day.

mjvdec: I hope you have some progression also.

 

[OliviaRae]

MommyB, why won't he check you? It only takes a second Sounds good though. And yay-hopefully no 10lb bub!!!
I really wish I would lose my plug or something. I've been feeling some pressure down there but only really at night and if I've been walking around a lot. A few BH here and there but not even worth mentioning really lol I know it can all happen in an instant, but I just have a feeling she won't come until they induce me on 24. Oh well, that's only 2 weeks away!

mjvdec- Good luck at your appointment- let us know what's going on!

 

[mommyB]

So I was paying at the grocery store this afternoon and the cashier she says to me..."Good lord woman, are you having twins?? That is one big baby!!"

I'm freakin 38 weeks pregnant! What do you expect?? I didn't take offence to it because I feel really good about myself and have always been told how pregnancy really suits me. But seriously some people have no filter I would never say that to anyone, then again she was an older lady she probably didn't care.

 

[OliviaRae]

So rude! I had a cashier tell me I was huge and my baby was going to be huge. And this was like 2 weeks ago. I was so shocked I hardly said anything. Who has the nerve to say that? haha. Then one time a guy in line at the post office kept telling me "take care of those twins....or is it triplets?" then laughed hysterically at himself lol

 

[mjvdec01]

Waiting for a call to head over to L&D to try and turn baby. Soooo NOT happy right now.

Oh no sorry hun. Everything will be ok. Update??

 

[Leinzlove]

MommyB: Yeah thats rude. I haven't had anyone say anything, but they are all looking at me funny. Well my FIL said look at you all ready to pop with that big belly. But, I took it as a compliment.

Olivia: You never know baby could be here before induction. I don't think baby will be here before then for me either. I always feel like I'd go overdue if I was allowed.

MjDec: I hope baby gets turned around.

 

[mommyB]

^^^ I should of said...."I'm not pregnant!" That would of been funny

Leinzlove 6 days until your induction.....so exciting!! Do you feel ready?

Olivia with my first I lost my plug than a couple minutes later my water broke and then I had him later that evening. It can happen spontaneously.....which I kinda wish would of happened this time. With the loss of plug last week and the odd contractions and cramping its become a pain in the butt!! It consumes my thoughts!

 

[OliviaRae]

Haha I always want to say "What do you mean?? I'm not pregnant??" LOL

 

[Leinzlove]

MommyB: That would've been funny. At this moment, if I went into labor I wouldn't be ready. My house looks like a zoo. DD has been a terror these last few days and I've been so tired. But, it'll be all good by Monday and I'll be more than ready.

I hope things happen for you soon. I've never been aware of losing my mucus plug. But, my cervix was tight and closed when I was induced at 39+1 with DD.

 

[OliviaRae]

Leinzlove, have you been taking EPO or drinking RLT?

 

[Leinzlove]

No, I really haven't been doing anything to try to bring on labor. Good ol' BD but more because it'll be awhile until I enjoy it again. You?

At 36 weeks I was 1cm, 20% enfaced, Completely engaged and at 38+1(Monday) I hadn't changed at all... I know things can happen quickly, but I think I'll make my induction.

 

[OliviaRae]

At least that's a little progress! I haven't had any cervical change at all! Still closed and high as of Monday. I've been taking EPO orally twice a day, and drinking a few cups of RLT a day when I can. Who knows if it's doing anything, but can't hurt right

I took a Clairitin pill as my allergies were so severe I had to do something. Now I'm wide awake wondering if I should use this burst of energy to clean and maybe go into labor?

 

[Leinzlove]

Olivia: I wouldn't worry about being tight and closed. Things can happen so quickly. And if you haven't labored before its common to have no changes prior to labor. Thats why labor lasts longer the first time. Subsequent times the body starts preparing weeks in advance and labor lasts about 1/2 the time as firsts.

I know though, every day that we remain pregnant feels like 10. I hope cleaning gets things moving along.

38 weeks today ladies

I lost a little more plug this morning and was super nauseous for some reason

I've been trying to drink my RLT but I'm horrible at remembering! I'm not a hot drink person, I don't even drink coffee. And I keep forgetting to bounce on my ball. Pretty much by the time DS goes to bed I'm exhausted! So that means sitting on the couch with my iPad and relaxing

I feel like I'm completely ready for baby! His room is ready, the bags are packed. I even made up this cute little wicker basket for my nightstand that has diapers, wipes, breast pads, receiving blankets, burp cloths and vitamin D drops for night time nursing. I couldn't be more ready

I did that too!! That's funny. Have you tried making a pitcher of the tea and drinking it cold with lemon? That's what I do, it's a lot better that way. I forget a lot too though. And yay to losing more plug! Maybe you will be the first of us to go! Go bounce on your ball right now! haha

Thanks, Leinzlove I've just got to be patient

How's every one feeling today?

 

[mommyB]

DS and I went for a chilly walk around the block (pretty big block ) Had to be careful on the ice though. Now I'm all crampy and tired Maybe do it again this afternoon and the next couple days!

How are you feeling Olivia?

 

[Leinzlove]

MommyB: Happy 38 weeks! Thats good about your plug. Doesn't sound like it'll be long to me. I'm glad you've gotten everything ready.

Olivia: Its hard to be patient when you've been waiting to meet LO for so long. The tea might help make things move along quicker.

AFM: Nothing exciting going on. DTD last night and it didn't even cause any cramping? Talk about strange... It had been causing non stop BH for hours afterward. I was also super active yesterday and nothing. So, I'm sure I'm waiting the 5 days.
