Congrats aeris, amb2013 and Ashley! Glad everyone is happy and healthy!

Hello ladies!! It has been a while since I have been on here. Just a quick update from me: My due date is no longer August 24th since my Dr. is worried since my asthma is starting acting up again. He scheduled me for an induction on August 17th. Well at least I will be 39 weeks then. I am so scared and nervous ladies. I will update you all again when my weekly scan and ob appt is over with on Wednesday.

Congrats to all the ladies who just had their precious babies!!

Happy due date to me. Hope it's happy birthday to baby too!

I haven't updated on here for a while, I just usually update the facebook thread.

They thought I had bladder infection @ 35 weeks, so they checked my cervix and I was a fingertip dilated than. They haven't checked it since, yet.

I just had my 37 week appointment. Everything is going extremely well.

The midwife is going to check my cervix, and sweep my membranes next Friday @ 38 weeks, and if it works we will go in to labor within 24-48 hours. If it does not work, we will get a sweep again @ 39 weeks. If I do make it to my 39 week appointment, we will set up an induction date for August 28th, when I turn 40 weeks exactly.

I got induced with Gavin at 39 weeks, 3 days...and I loved being induced. I was one of the happiest in labor ladies ever, and everything went very smooth. All the medicines worked like they were supposed to, and I had a 5 hour labor with him.

The midwife does not think I will make it to my induction day, but we will see.

37 August babies have arrived, 42 to go!!!

Literati_love- I see I have your due date on the front page as the 8th, but in your siggy it says the 14th. I'm assuming the 14th is correct, right? Just want to double check before I change it lol

Congratulations! I had my little girl on the 8th aswell.. early c section for suspected pre eclampsia and reduced fetal movements. Birthday buddies

Clynn- Nope, my due date was August 8! The 14 on there is the year. Sorry for the confusion!

AFM - well, my membrane sweep actually worked! I went into labour at 6:45 am the next day and sweet little Nevada Leanne was born on August 8 (her due date) at 3:00 am! She was 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 1/4" long. We are completely overjoyed!

Congrats to those whose babies have arrived and good luck to those still waiting!

 

[clynn11]

Yay congrats!!!

Iv got my sweep today n I'm hoping more than you can imagine it works. Was up all night with tightening, sickness the works! Nothing! I feel like a train wreck, I even broke down to my OH as I'm in so much pain now.

I have a sweep on Wednesday at 38+6. I have to say I don't really have any symptoms-occasional period pains but no show/plug, no obvious tightenings etc. I have a feeling my body will not go into labour this time either meaning it will be section 2 weeks today!

I went for a sweep on my due date. My cervix wasn't favourable, so she could only do a cervical massage. I started labour 2 days later and had him 40.3

This gives me hope as I'm losing the will here. Had a serious breakdown earlier. my spd is so painful now I can't move properly.

 

[Literati_Love]

Tracie - if you're having so many tightenings already that's a good sign your sweep will work! I got my sweep done at 12 pm on Wed and went into labour at 6:45 am on Thurs. hopefully it works as quickly for you (or sooner)!

 

[x_Rainbow_x]

Well I had it done, just. Cervix was high n posterior. she managed to get it done, but don't think she's hopeful. She's booked my induction. Safe to say I'm mortified as I'm so scared of it. I guess I no I have an end date n at least it can be planned, but I'm just so angry at myself for not being able to go myself this time
I feel like I'm letting a lot of ppl down the fact Iv gone over n will to the very end

 

[Literati_Love]

Tracie - you are NOT letting anyone down by not going into labour on your own! If anyone has made you feel that way they deserve to be punched!!!! Getting an induction is NOT a failure and also you still have a decent chance of going on your own yet. What day will your induction be? Sorry you are feeling discouraged!!!

 

[x_Rainbow_x]

Booked in Monday 18th. Nobody has made me feel like that as such, just pressure as to when will he be here, haven't you had him yet, all that crap.
I'm losing lots of brown/yellow discharge. I no it agrivates your cervix so more than likely that.

 

[clynn11]

They wouldn't give me a sweep at my appointment today because of me being GBS positive. So disappointed Last appointment will be Thursday (41+6) and if she hasn't came they'll probably send me over to the hospital right away to start induction.
