~*~*~August 2012 Baby Fire Fly's~*~*~

Forums New posts
My due date is tomorrow and baby still seems very comfortable in there. Bump hasn't dropped at all and I don't think head is properly engaged, if at all.

The hospital won't induce me because of previous c-section, so unless I go naturally it will be another c-section, which I really hope to avoid. I can't think of anything more depressing than going two weeks overdue and then ending up with a c-section at the end of it! LOL. Although obviously once baby gets here safely that is the main thing.

Also my brief period of nesting has definitely worn off and I couldn't be bothered finishing all the cleaning and organizing jobs that I started last week!
 
Karlee Mae arrived on her due date August 18th 2012 via emergency c-section. I had a failed vbac attempt. She is 8 lbs 12 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. I will post my birth story when I get a second :winkwink:

Couldn't sleep very well last night, kept waking up. Finally got up at 6 and kinda walked around the hOuse, went back to bed and laid there till my Dh got up to get ready for work. So I started the laundry, emptied the dishwasher, put chicken in the crockpot for dinner and made chOcolate chip cookies. Haha... And it's now 9am... What to do with myself all day? Haha been getting a few very random irregular contractions. But other than that, nothing. Hoping my doc will do a sweep tomorrow at my appointment. I may beg haha.
 
Well thats another day almost gone ... this little miss has around 36 hours to get a move on before she gets served an eviction notice! I have had mild - moderate irregular contractions all day and my show but nothing seems to be developing. I really dont know how to shift her I was really hoping she would just come of her own accord! Anyway I guess I will try dtd again tonight (we have already done it twice today) and really hope she comes before Wednesday!
 
I think I posted in this thread before and then forgot about it :/ Can I come back in?

I'm officially 39 weeks today. All my friends have had their babies early and so I get texts and calls everyday ppl asking me if the baby's out yet! So annoying...as if I can just order the baby out. I don't mind going to my EDD (Aug 28) or up to 5 days past that....but I'm getting a bit impatient already.

My baby's already fully engaged but I haven't lost a plug or anything. I have mild period cramps here and there and that's about it :(
 
It's very quiet in here today! Not many of us left to go I guess.

Had my appointment today - cervix is unfavourable so they couldn't do a sweep (although what they did do was bloody uncomfortable!).

I'm booked in for induction on Friday morning - not ideal but I feel better knowing we have a date and an end in sight now.
 
Had my hospital appointment today and asked for a sweep which I got. Wouldn't have got one if I didn't ask. I am 1 cm dilated apparently. I've been having lots of Braxton Hicks and period pains since the sweep, so really hoping that they develop into something over the next day or so. It would be just fab to go into labour tonight!! Going to go out for a long walk now once I get LO settled in bed to try and kick start things.
 
Had my 39 week appointment, still 3cm dilated but I'm 70% effaced now. Doc says any day now and says she's ready. She gave me a sweep and I was surprised that it wasn't as bad as I expected. Blood pressure was alittle higher today but Doctor wasn't to concerned. So ready for this lo to come! Will try :sex: tonight and see if that kick starts some contractions! Hope we all have our babies soon!
 
Am booked in for induction tomorrow at 10am. Fingers crossed baby comes quickly! I have just re packed hospital bags to make sure everything is ready. Not sure I will get much sleep tonight!

Hope your all ok. x x x
 
Still no baby, but I have a sweep on friday! Nervous for that, hope it works... I'll be 5 days overdue and if it doesn't work, I have another on Monday :)
 
So exciting to hear how you all are progressing! Can't wait til all our fireflies are here! :)
 
I'm still back and forth between docs and hosp regarding my blood pressure. Heading off again in a half hour. There is starting to be mention of sweeps and inductions if BP doesnt come down or bubbs doesnt get a move on. He is due tomorrow but i think the doc and mw would like him out now..... as would i!

Click to expand...

Don't be nervous about the sweep - mine didn't hurt, it was just very uncomfortable but my cervix was posterior and they could only get the finger tip in so that would explain why it was probably more uncomfortable for me than someone who is more dilated and effaced - I was only 25% effaced. I also think it depends who performs it - I had a huge bloke with banana fingers do mine (right in front of poor DH!!) :blush:
 
So just back from the hospital and my BP although at times is elevated its starting to relax back down to the borderline between normal and high!

The have decided that as I am 40 weeks tomorrow not to put me on meds or induce me but I was given a good old sweep today and told to have a hot curry and DTD!

I go back on friday if LO has not made an appearance!

Oh and dont be nervous about the sweep mummylaura, its not all that bad! Its more uncomfortable than painful.
 
I also found the sweep uncomfortable rather than painful and it has certainly done something as I have been feeling very uncomfortable since. Lots of irregular contractions and period type pains and a good bit of blood stained discharge too. Also baby's head now feels like it is much lower down and firmly wedged into my pelvis. All progress which is great - just hope it develops quickly into something more!
