Just a quickie to say that I was told today that baby has until next Monday to make his appearance otherwise we'll be scheduling an induction. I have an appointment setup for Monday already to discuss the induction if he hasn't come from here to then. *Pokes belly* Heard that kiddo? You can come now, anytime this week would be good...

Finished the nursery and will put up pics on the 3rd tri board. Sooo happy to be done with all the major stuff now. I'm actually SITTING!

Big hugs to all of you!

The breastfeeding is going well. I'm able to pump a lot and have a good stock in the freezer already. The sleeping is good on and off. The last 2 nights he wouldn't sleep unless I held him.

I'm planning on breastfeeding as well. What kind of pump do you use? How many times a day are u able to pump and freeze milk? Just wondering since I will be going back to work shortly after baby is back... Not crazy hours just a few and also so my son and fiancé can feed...

I got a Medela Pump In Style Advanced with the on-the-go tote since that bag was the style I liked the best. I did a lot of research on pumps, read a lot of reviews, and talked to a lot of people about pumps they used. Everyone recommended Medela. I really like it a lot.

Right now I'm pumping at least twice a day, sometimes as often as after every feeding depending on what I'm up to for the day. I will only be off of work for around 8 weeks total, so I wanted to start stocking now. Plus my hubby likes to feed Cam, too.

Are you dilated or effaced at all? Good luck with the induction!

 

[Hope1409]

I am 2cm dilated and more than 50% effaced. He also said my cervix was really soft. I am hoping to go into labor naturally before thursday but if it doesnt happen, i hope at least being induced wont drag on for hours since i have made "some" progress on my own.

 

[Nela]

Good luck Hope! Wishing you a smooth induction if kiddo doesn't come before then.

Did anyone have a growth scan!? If so did they give you pictures or not?

 

[Nela]

I had several and they always gave us pictures but at the last one, baby's head was too low to get a good shot All we can tell is that it's his head by the shape.

 

[mommy247]

I had a scan today butbut he was so big and placenta was in the way... I did get to see his face a Lil. His, lungs are fully developed and he's ready to go he just doesn't want to get out. I been having contractions for a week but this time they haven't gone away since last night.

 

[HHenderson]

Thanks ladies I got some pictures

Who had their babies so far?

My son arrived August 19th... I had to be induced with pitocin but I managed to have a pain med free labor again! I know I would of made it to 42 weeks but they wouldn't let me because of the risks of going that far...I'm just happy my baby is here.

 

[diliapickle]

I am 5 days overdue and praying this LO shows soon!!

Labor went really wrong so ended up with an emergency csection on Monday. Baby Nathaniel was born August 26th, at 6:46pm. He is in the neonatal ward until Friday for antibiotics and I am here until at least Saturday. He's doing well though, just getting frustrated when we leave him.
