Loving the bump pics... I can't work out how to post one on my phone.

I'm playing the waiting game now. Son off safely to grandparents giddy as a kipper at the prospect of Grandad taking him to the lego shop... Grandad has endless money according to him!

Spoken to delivery and they say it sounds as if it's all kicking off and to go in at the point I feel I need some support. Haven't called husband home from work yet, he's only 10 minutes away and can leave when he wants as he's the boss. They are starting to get a bit more painful now but I can just about talk through them so fine for now.

Good luck to everyone with appointments/monitoring. Hoping to hear good things :)

Glad things are progressing but sorry you're in abit of pain! We have bought my ds some Lego to give him as a present from his baby brother once he's born :)
 
So something really weird/scary just happened to me...I almost passed out from a heart palpitation. Now, I've been getting the palpitations for a while and talked to the doctor about them. She said it was completely normal as long as I wasn't passing out. My appointment is at 4, so I'm going to talk to her about it, but does anyone here have any advice? I drive 20 miles one way to work and I obviously don't want to pass put while going 75 down the highway.

I know the feeling ive been the same all day xx
 
Done at the dentist and at the hospital now. Will update when I know something
 
Funny you should mention those, I started getting them when I was 15. I have no anxiety issues whatsoever but it's like my heart skips a few beats or the irregularity causes me to start to pass out. 15 years later, I've had a few near misses while driving but I never have. They are more frequent now and just as scary as they were when they first started but I don't think they're really getting worse. I'm sorry you're going through that. Hopefully it's just hormonal and you won't deal with them after pregnancy (doctors couldn't figure out what it was, some thought prolonged qt syndrome, others thought an extra circuit in my heart, tachycardia etc but nothing concrete)

Good luck! How exciting!
 
Jonesbaby so excited to see you have ankles again! Something I was thinking may never happen again for me. I can't wait!

I'm really hoping they will induce this week. I have an apt tomorrow morning, but I'm afraid their going to be like nothing is available the rest of this week, and I'll have to wait until Monday next week.

Good luck to those who seem to be on the verge. I may go home and try some pumping tonight to see if I can get things started enough where they send me to L&D after my apt tomorrow.
 
Good luck ladies at ur apps n update soon as u cn..

Gem gorg bump hun...ill post mine saturday :)

My app this morn went well bp borderline at 145/86 but wee clear so all good for now xx

Back on friday x
 
I officially have 9 days to get her out naturally. :(
They have a few concerns and I don't want to be stubborn this time and risk her safety. So it's essentially that same as what happened with my son. I will do my best to get her out but I am also going to accept the fact that maybe my body just doesn't know how.
 
That's so frustrating and disappointing sweettart. I'm really sorry to hear that. Induction doesn't mean a bad thing, but the prodomal labor must be absolutely exhausting both physically and emotionally.
 
Wow lots to catch up on!

Jonesbaby - the twins are SO adorable! Glad your swelling went down - that looked really painful *ouch.

Powell - good luck at the hospital!

Hellojello - that's scary! Can you get someone to drive you to your appt?

Good luck redhead! I hope this is it for you!

Fingers crossed for all the other soon to be due mamas in getting labor started! Can't wait for more baby announcements :)
 
It is very exhausting and beyond frustrating. During monitoring my contractions are consistently strong, they just don't continue getting stronger. They are manageable until 5pm when they go into hyper drive but they go back to mini contractions around 2-4am.

I am not scared of the induction because the same exact thing happened with my son. His induction went really well with no complications so I am hoping if it has to happen that it goes just like it. I just had/have high hopes of being one of those women with a normal labor.

Thankyou :)
Yay! Glad your bp & wee wasn't too bad :) fingers crossed it keeps steady for you!
 
That's what must have happened to me with my son. For a week before I went into active labor, I was having contractions which would wake me up every 1/2 hour at night. For some reason they were more frequent when I was trying to sleep than during the day. I called up the nurse the first night and she said it sounded like she'd be hearing from me again as things progressed. But they never got stronger or closer. Finally the Friday I was due I left work and was like I can't handle the no sleep and the contractions I'm having are too distracting so whether or not I go into labor this weekend, I won't be back. He wasn't born until Monday via csect. I was sooo tired I couldn't keep my eyes open at that point.

Here's hoping something happens soon for your sweettart and you can get some rest...or at least as much rest as a newborn will let you have.
 
Sweet tart that sounds miserable! I'm so sorry. Have you tried using a breast pump to kick it up a notch?

Yeah, BF is driving me, which is good because now I'm nervous to drive. The palpitations have been steadily getting worse, but I didn't think they would get that bad.

On a more positive note, little man is measuring at 7 lbs 12 oz and we could see hair on the ultrasound, which I didn't think was possible!
 
Glad he's driving you! Good luck at the appt :)

I haven't had an ultrasound since 20 weeks, but I have a feeling she's gonna be bigger than my daughter. That's so cool you got to see hair!
