I had Sebastian yesterday at 2pm. Turned out after 20 hours of labor I never went past four centimeters. He started dipping. My own oxygen wasn't great and it was becoming a concern. My husband made it through the entire time in the or. He said my doctor was an amazing dragon lady!! It definitely was more than pulling and stretching sensation but I got through it. I lost three times the blood I should have and I'm still on oxygen but he is beautiful!! I will post a picture later today. He has soon much hair!

Congrats! Love his name aswell!
 
Looks like I may opt for section. I'm only 50% effaced and barely a finger tip. I've about convinced myself the induction will take into tomorrow, end up with section with second or fail completely. I just hope I'm not stuck in hospital for days.
 
Congrats sarah vo !! Cnt wait see a piccie xxxx

Ope ur doin well xx

Congratulations!

That is a very accurate description of a c-section. I can still remember that sensation from having mine.

Take care of yourself and try not to over do it :flower:
 
So, I don't really know how I'm going to manage through work for the next three days. I went for my last appointment on Tuesday after having another very bad pain episode over the weekend where I threw up. The doctor thinks its definitely my kidneys now, although the tests for an infection are negative as was the test for blood in my urine which would be a sign of kidney stones. She basically said that she has no clue what's going on, but they won't be able to do anything until the baby comes except give me tylenol with codeine.

I've been avoiding taking that unless the pain is so bad, but this morning I absolutely had to, and THANK GOD I DID because there was an accident on the way to work and my back with KILLING ME sitting in traffic. I can't imagine how bad it would have been without the medicine and what I would have done. I was on a bridge, so I couldn't have even gotten off! Now I'm in the office but so out of it from the Codeine, I'm struggling to concentrate. :wacko: My boss is pushing for me to finish two additional projects he gave me at the last minute before I go... but I mean SERIOUSLY? I'm SUPER unimpressed with him right now. I'm in my last week, being induced on Sunday, and instead of letting me just deal with my normal day to day work and give new extra projects to the person covering for me while I'm out he gives them to ME. :growlmad:
 
I think I'm officially started to get bored of being pregnant now. Then again that could be down to being asked every single day from family members on whether I'm getting any signs. I'm not even overdue yet, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if I do go over.
 
Congratulations SaraVO! I'm so glad he is here safe and sound! Hope your recovery goes well!
 
my midwife gave me a sweep today due to the agony I am in since my fall yesterday.. Fxd it gets things movinggggg :)

Congrats Sara x
 
Congrats SaraVO!! I hope you are resting and recovering well. I can't wait to see a pic of Sebastian!!

KatieMK - I'm sorry you're going through that. It sounds rough! Can you talk to your boss and maybe go out a few days early?

I had my 39 week appointment yesterday and still no dilation. The doctor said not to put too much stock into that though. I made an appointment for next week for a check-up and a nonstress test. If he hasn't made an appearance by then, I'll have to fill out the paperwork for an induction as they'll want to induce me at 41 weeks. But I've heard most babies come in 3 days on either side of their due date, and his is Saturday, so I'm hoping we don't get that far. But I haven't even really been getting any contractions. I'll get Braxton Hicks every once in a while, but nothing major. My body really doesn't seem close to labor as I feel great for the most part. Oh well, I'll have my little guy in my arms in less than two weeks for sure!
 
So I need some advice ladies!

I just went to the bathroom and there was a bright red blood spot on the toilet paper when I wiped. The spot was small, like smaller than a fingertip, and when I wiped again there was nothing. Normally I would call the doctor anyways, however I recently started a course of antibiotics for a UTI and one of the side effects is genital itching. And boy did it ever itch! So I scratched it and probably damaged some sensitive areas. But it stopped itching a few days ago and I definitely haven't scratched in over 24 hours. I'm debating whether or not to call my OB.

I have a pad on now and I'm waiting 20-30 minutes before going to the bathroom again to see if there's more blood. If there is, I will call the doctor right away. But I wanted to know if anyone else has ever had this situation? It's just such a small amount of blood...

Edit: I also had a cervical exam yesterday and it hurt a hell of a lot more than normal. I don't know if that matters or not.
 
My midwife said without me prompting that if I had any bleeding without cramping or reduced fetal movement, that it was normal. Even knowing that blood makes me nervous though. Can't hurt to call
 
hellojello...it sounds like the famous "bloody show," doesn't it? Just a teeny bit of blood that comes from your cervix preparing for labor.
 
I had blood spots and when I wiped and they were-very interested as to why and did tests maybe check just in case honey?
Good luck
Congrats sara x
 
Hellojello. For me it doesn't sound like anything to worry about but I am not a worrier and would hate to be the reason u don't get checked if need too. If u were itching before with antibiotics maybe u just took the scab (sorry sounds awful) of a scratch. Did it def come from inside u??

Have u had a sweep or anything?

I lost my plug in one go with my first 3 weeks before Labour and it was a big blob of blood so a wee drop is probably ok??

At this stage your cervix is constantly changing and moving.

Anything since??
