Not really much going on for me today! Just back from an hour long walk, luckily managed to avoid the rain! we went through the woods and climbed some really steep steps and then walked up the huge hill back home, would be nice if it got things going but I just don't feel like my body is going to go into labour any time soon. Sweep tomorrow but not until late afternoon so will probably have another long walk in the morning to pass the time x

With my first I got to 6cm and my boy never dropped. Ended in c sect for fetal distress so he never got the chance to drop after that.

Induction is going to be scheduled for next Wednesday. Though dr today said she was able to stretch out my cervix a bit which may cause some contractions and plug loss. Im hoping she triggered something.

Hope it's the start of something Babyjan.

You're doing so well with your walks Princess. I wish I could walk more but my spd gets unbearable!

MW today went okay. Little miss is in a great position and she's very low in my pelvis now. Had a few painful tightenings which i'm keeping an eye on. Induction booked for 18th but hoping I won't need it.

Felt really uncomfortable at work today like she was pushing down on my cervix using my ribs lol but isn't low or engaged. I went to the toilet and when I wiped there was weird coloured discharge. Browny pinky but not clumps like plug. Feels very tender down there when rotating on my ball now, what could this be? Having had 2 very overdue babies symptoms like this are surprising me even though its not labour related x

 

[Misscalais]

I still haven't managed photos sorry ladies.

I will say though that the ob came to see me this morning and filled me in on just how serious things got last night.

I was very close to having to have a crash section under general as her heart rate was of such concern. I had a really experienced guy looking after me and as such he was able to get her out with forceps. We are pretty lucky by all accounts.

She's just managed to projectile vomit over Daddy and poo all over my nightie so Daddy has to go to shops and get new clothes for us!!

Hope everyone is well

Sounds scary. Im glad you are both ok!
Hope bubs feeling better now after that lol

 

[missbabes]

Congrats to both Qmamma and Redhead!


Had my 38 week midwife appointment today. Nothing entirely exciting to report, just the same as the last few visits. Little lady still happily head down, but she's currently back to back so need to start using my birthing ball. Still not engaged either, but getting closer as she was at least right on the verge of starting as she was right on the brim.

 

[emma4g63]

Sounds promising kay xxx ope it turns into something

 

[Christie2011]

I'm not feeling like the stretching did anything from this morning. Maybe because I've been at my desk all day. I did take a few minutes to walk up and down 4 flights of stairs. After that I saw the slightest bit of 'old blood' discharge. But nothing that suggested plug. Maybe I can talk my boys into going for a walk when we get home tonight or I'll have to get out the treadmil and crank the incline after they go to bed.

 

[emma4g63]

Good luck gettin things moving christie x

 

[Misscalais]

Was hoping to go into labour last night, instead roll around all night like usual, severe acid reflux and a very upset tummy from what my mum cooked for dinner ( very heavy meal ) i don't have a gallbladder any more so can't stomach a lot of things i used to be able to. On and off the toilet and resisting the need to throw up. And now DS3 and 2 are awake and i have to deal with them.
I need this baby out, im not coping.
I really hope my mw can do a good sweep today and will agree to induce before 10 days.

 

[hal423]

Fingers crossed for you both Christie and misscalais!

Just lost some mucus plug and have strong pressure in pelvis xx

I was planning on a nothing exciting appointment this morning. But, guess what? I'm being induced. If he hasn't decided to come on his own before Monday we check into the hospital to get started at 8 pm. I still would like it if he did decide to get a move on. but, there hasn't been any progress in the last two weeks and my doctor doesn't want him to go over due. I'm just small. So, today I..

a. got my car detailed.
b. got snacks for the hospital bag.
c. my dog has been groomed.
d. all laundry is piled up waiting to be washed/ folded.
e. I have called all of our parents and told him that we potentially have a birthday.
f. I have changed my leave of absence to start on Saturday so I have two more short days at work.

I really do want him to come on his own. My chances of C-section are a bit higher than they were this way but I think at this point. I want him out more! there is an end in sight! I am way excited and my husband looks a little jaundice freaked out.. having trouble emphasizing when all I can do is grin.
