Congrats, navywag! Quite the fast labour you had! He is adorable!

LoveCakes - sorry the sweep hasn't seemed to have work. They do say if it works it will be within 48 hours so you do have some time? I would be the same as you, though, and would be disheartened if it didn't work the first day.

Congrats navywag! What a fast labor, and he is just beautiful. Does Zachary have a middle name? And was he 8lbs exactly? (Just wondering for the front page ) Congrats again!

 

[navywag]

Yes he is Zachary Jason Edward and yep 8lb exactly

 

[Damita]

Aw lovely pictures

Congrats Navywag! He is adorable. So glad you made it to the hospital on time!! He was in a rush to meet you!

Happy due date to me!! I am feeling a bit crampy today, like mild period type pain, but they are happening more frequently. Usually only have been happening in the morning and at night. Today they have been on and off all day. Really hoping in have progressed some by my appointment tomorrow. Will be having another sweep.

How is everyone else feeling?

 

[clynn11]

Gonna ask for a sweep tomorrow. Will be 40+5 and if I have no progress from the previous 2 weeks I am going to be crushed!!!!

24 babies here already!!! 55 to go!!

Any of you ladies up? I need help.

Been having bad back n pelvic pain for days but last night I heard a pop/crack noise got the most excruciating pain across my pelvic bone, 6 hours later I can't walk or even move my legs properly. Iv had severe upset tummy aswel. Iv not had any contractions but is it worth ringing labour for advice. My midwife will only help so much as I'm registered at a hospital there not associated with.
If I sit down I'm ok, but can't move at all unless I want awful pain.
Iv got spd n not sure if it's that or this boy starting something.

Help me

 

[clynn11]

I would definitely call them if you're in that much pain hun. That sounds horrible I'm sorry

 

[Literati_Love]

Tracie - Yeah, I agree you should call if you're in so much pain! It might not be impending labour but could still be something you need to get checked. Hope you feel better!

Addy and Clynn - all three of us are getting sweeps done tomorrow! We'll have to keep each other updated with how things go. Good luck!

 

[clynn11]

Good luck to you too! Doctor's appointment is in 10 hours. I can't sleep! My little sister is being induced due to pre-e (she was due August 25th). Jealous that she's getting her babe before me but so excited to meet my little nephew!

That is too bad! I hope the pain subsides for you! That is the last thing you need right now! If it does not go away soon, definitely call your GP. Maybe they can help you!

Good luck with your sweeps tomorrow Clynn and Literati_love! Hopefully we will all be holding out babies soon!

I have been up all night and not been able to sleep! Going to be a long day with DH at work and two busy girls to entertain! Not fair that when I can sleep, my body will not let me!

 

[Literati_Love]

Clynn - Sounds like we all had trouble sleeping last night! I barely slept and was honestly up every half an hour to pee at some points. Then I woke up early of all things. If I'm going to go into labour today, it would have been nice to sleep in first! Maybe I can squeeze in a nap later. That is exciting about your nephew arriving soon! I hope all goes well and your sis stays healthy.

Tracie - Ouch! That sounds painful. I'm sorry there's nothing you can really do...

Addy - I had the same insomnia issues last night! Definitely not fair at all. But you will be much busier with two daughters to look after! This is my first so I can't really complain. Let's hope that the inability to sleep is a sign of impending labour!

Hi ladies!

Congratulations on all the new babies! I am now 4 days overdue and in hospital being induced. A late onset preeclampsia put pay to our birthing dentre all natural plans unfortunately. I'm ob my 4th day in hospital and 3rd round of gel. For the first time I'm getting twinges so fingers crossed this is it because my patience is wearing very thin!

Good luck everyone else!

 

[Literati_Love]

Addy & Clynn - How did your sweeps go today? I just had mine and it was VERY uncomfortable but thankfully brief. I started cramping immediately, which she said was normal, and also had a 'bloody show' immediately (also normal). I am feeling optimistic although who knows what could happen. Only 1-2 cm dilated but 80% effaced and 'soft' so I guess this means my cervix should be pretty favourable to the sweep. I'm still cramping and having back pain and I'm going to try to stay on my feet to get things going. We shall see! Good luck!

 

[clynn11]

They didn't sweep me. My midwife says i'm progressing enough on my own that she'd like to wait a little longer to try anything. Just got back from my appointment, I'm now 3cm dilated (was 1.5cm last week), 75% effaced (50-75% last week) and her head is in -2 station (was -3 last week). So slowly but surely she's getting ready. Scheduled for a NST on Friday if she hasn't came by then.

FX the sweep sends you into labor Literati!!!!

Klara- Hope that contractions start to kick in and you get to hold your baby soon!

 

[Literati_Love]

Clynn - I am glad you are progressing well on your own! I hope you go into labour ASAP! I had a different dr today and she never mentioned if baby was engaged yet but she was -1 three weeks ago and I know she's dropped more since so I assume she is now...hopefully, anyway!

 

[MrsT&Ben]

Hello ladies!
I can't believe I've only just found this thread!
I hope everyone is doing OK. I'm due on the 23rd with a little girly. I am terrified and excited all at once.
I am constantly thinking every little twinge is a sign she is finally on her way!

 

[addy1]

I saw my Dr today and was 3 cm (2 last week) and she was able to stretch it to 4 with absolutely no pain at all. She said the head was right there. She said everything is perfect and labor is on the way. Just need my body to start contracting, so she suggested to keep pressure on the cervix and walk or bounce.

It is so hard to know that we are this close and it really could start at anytime! I am so anxious to meet this little guy.
