Saravo is this your first? Apparently u can loose plug ages before Labour on 1st sorry 😓 but on subsequent usually means Labour is right around the corner. With ds1 I lost full plug z good week or even two before but with ds2 I lost it in full after a few hours of sting co distant contractions/about 8 hours before ds was born. Now on this one I have lost a few bits of it here and there but not the circular blood streaked bit like others. So I suppose i don't know all are different but I'm sure it's a. Good sign!!

mikihob I have no idea I never had any blood at all not even a drop of blood apart from streaked plug. Both times when I lost my full plug it was very very jelly like a proper circle shape.

Afm I just felt really sick after dinner not awfully unusual for me but this felt different I was full of wind and just had to run to the loo for a clear out. I have had very loose bowels this whole pregnancy even waking in the night because of diarehha so trying not to over think but it did feel different this evening. Ah who am I kidding I'm overvreacting to every single twing this week!!

Miss calasis you have gone very quiet presume your pushing awake. Cannot wait to hear!!

yes. he is my first. I know the plug doesn't mean a whole lot but, it does make me feel like a little progress is being made. I really am content to have my weekend at home before he comes now that I have an induction date. But, I would really like to avoid the petocin of an induced labor.. non of this is really up to me. So, I'm going to have a piece of cheesecake and watch a movie.
 
Ha good call cheesecake and a movie!!despite having bad sod all.this and last preg u decided to over stretch while pulling a curtain ang omg I cannot describe the pain it feels like I've broke my pelvis it was excruciating. I'm comfy now but terrified to move 😨

Good luck!! Any progress is good!
FWIW:: it IS up to you, you CAN decline induction!
Hopefully baby comes before your induction tho or at the least you don't have a shit induction like lots have. Some get lucky tho so hopefully you will be one of those if it comes down to it! Can you opt for a different kind of induction like cervadil or cytotec to start?

My baby girl is here!
Had her in the early in the morning. She was in a big rush, birthed her head before the mw was ready. Hubby was like ah you better hurry her heads out. I don't think they believed him. She came out at an awkward angle as well. But i think i only pushed 3-4 times. No tears only small graze. The mw was surprised because of the way she came out and how quickly lol
She still has no name. 8lb 6oz and 51cm.

Oh congrats lovely!! That's an awesome birth story!!!
 
Congrats!!!! So glad you got a good birth and didn't have to wait any longer for your healthy girl :D
 
Thanks so much ladies! I can't wait for you to all have your bubbas and be comfortable again. My boys just met her, they were absolutely smitten :)

that's actually making me nervous. I am going to have faith that my doctor and the hospital will help me get through it and making the call was in my best interest. My doctor is not an advocate for induction for the sake of convenience she said so on more than one occasion and I will talk about the different options when I get there. I was in shock when she said that we were going that route on Wednesday. But, I am excited to not be waiting anymore, to meet my little son. To get on with the rest of our lives together. I can spend my energy thinking about that and not the potential 'shit induction'

..was just saying theres other induction methods. Pitocin contractions are horrible!
Some inductions are really rough. Some are not. Best of luck!
 
Congratulations Misscalais!!!
----------------------------------
SaraVO- My induction with my first went well. Just like this time I was stuck in prodromal labor so I'll be having one on Thursday unless my baby decides to be kind. Mine took 18 hours from start to birth. 20 minutes of pushing. It doesn't always go so smoothly but it can. My son never had any decels or moments of stress. He also scored a 9/10 on the apgar. So I was never personally at risk of a c-section. I am personally hoping for a quicker labor this time though.

Last time I went in being against epidurals but I ended up getting one 15 hours in and he was 100% unaffected! I heavily recommend that you get one much sooner than I did. :haha: Pitocin contractions are right on top of each other. The next one starts before the last one ends. This time I intend to get the epidural after my water goes. Everyone that I know who has had an induction and a natural labor has told me that they are nothing alike.

What helped me most was soothing music, a labor ball and my husband massaging my back.
 
Wow! Congrats Misscalasis! Amazing news! So thrilled for you all! :wohoo: Enjoy this special time together! :yipee:

SaraVO - Everyone's experiences are different with inductions, some good, others bad. But I just thought I'd share my experience with you - with my first born I was induced at 39w2d for medical reasons and I anticipated a very long and drawn out labour. Mine was quite the opposite. They administered the gels to soften my cervix overnight, my cervix was not favourable at the time of administering them. By morning my cervix was favourable and at 1cm dilated, so they broke my waters. I went from 1cm to 10cm in 3 hours & 50 minutes, and only pushed for 1 hour. My daughter was born healthy & I was up and showered an hour after I delivered her.

As I mentioned, I acknowledge that everybody's induction is different, but mine was a positive experience & hopefully yours will be too. If you're opting for an epidural, I recommend getting one early on - i did and it didn't slow down my contractions, so it was a win win for me! Lol!

This time round with my pregnancy I had to have a c-section as both babies were presenting in the birth canal - my girl was breech and her foot was coming first with my boy's head at the same time. It was a completely different experience to my vaginal delivery, but equally as special. For me personally, I didn't really care how my babies were delivered, as long as they were born healthy, then that's all that mattered to me.

Your birth experience will be unique to you and I wish you lots of luck. Focus on the positives - you're going to meet your baby on Wednesday and your dream of being a Mumma will finally be here! :) So much to look forward to! xx
 
First chance of a lie in and I wake up early in pain. I woke up on my right hand side but couldn't roll onto my back because of the pain in my left hip. Ended up having to roll forwards onto hands and elbows and then manoeuvre myself to the edge of the bed to get out and stand up. Could this mean my babies head is becoming engaged?

I also had a really stingy burning feeling at the top of my bump last night. Not sure what that was all about!

thank you so much. I actually really needed to hear a good story.
 
No all inductions are awful just like not all of them go smooth. It's kinda a hope for the best but expect the worst situation! Some last 70+ hours, some less than 1-2 hours. Just like every baby, every pregnancy and every labor/birth is different...every induction is different.

Hope yours goes smoothly SaraVO

Congratulations Misscalais!!

Wow so much going on in here now it's exciting!

I have found myself on labour watch already, I never did this with the boys until I was due so getting increasingly fed up and impatient and poor little thing isn't even due yet. The thought of potentially another 3 weeks makes me want to cry. I'm still working and finish in 6 days so that's keeping me busy but still. I really don't like the anticipation in these final few days/weeks. I like to be in control and this is obviously something I cannot be in this situation. Doesn't help hubby is working away 13th-15th april and I have a sweep 14th! He is 2.5hrs away without traffic so just adding more worry. Anyone else fed up lol x
