BD'ing my butt off--whose in it for November??

[mackjess]

sorry, I've read but too tired to reply.

If I hadn't snuck in juice boxes, almonds and wafers I would have had this kid yesterday. I'm only at a 3, but I'm effaced, baby dropped and I went from 1 to 3 in record time. long as I keep progressing they are letting me go for it. doc that felt me up tonight thinks he is 9+ lbs. eeek. Sean is exhausted but I feel petty good.

fyi-epidurals are fking amazing. I avoided it until the cramps got back to back and so intense I barfed. I think getting the epi relaxed me so I finally started progressing faster. of course I had induced cramps hammering a closed cervix.

I think I could have made it thru normal labor... maybe.

Finn will be here tonight, and it might be late.

Yay can't wait to see little Finn xoxooo

Awe Jess I'm glad they are letting you take your time. Hopefully you will dilate quicker now that you are at 3. Are they letting you shower or walk around? Sometimes that will move things along. Be sure to update anything as soon as u feel up to it.

As for me I am so uncomfortable...I pray it means something but its been happening to me a lot lately where I'm in a ton of pain and thinking contractions will start coming regular and they don't. Maybe baby is avoiding this heat wave or maybe it's because I still need to pack my hospital bag lol. I'm getting so restless

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

I'm so excited for you Jess!!

My doula said that if I go normally this time, and not induced it will be much different contraction wise. So I am going to try to go without an epi this time since last time it didn't really kick in till after!

My gorgeous man!!
So quick update on what happened. Well as yous know my waters broke on Monday night. Was sent home to let labour progress and told to come back Tuesday evening for induction if no progression. So to my dissapointment I needed induced on Tuesday evening.. They popped a pessary in about 9pm and immediately I started having cobtractions. They were agony as bubs was back to back at this point. I spent 3 hours in a bath in the ward trying to ease the pain and when they checked me at 3am my cervix was 3cm dilated so ghey sent me to labour suite for pain relief. Gas an air- amazing! Laboured till 2pm but my contractions began to tail off. Was 5cm dilated at this point so they decided to put me on a oxytocin drip to restart contractions. I was encouraged to have an epidural as they said the contractions would be very intense due to back to back so I took the epidural.. It was amazing!!so when checked at 6pm I'd only date up to 6cm. I was soo dissapointed. They were beginning to worry about baby at this point so had me whipped off to theatre within an hour. It was very scarey for me but no pain and the staff were amaing at reassuring me. Had a bleed though that they had trouble stopping which was a bit scarey and I lost a lot of blood. Have had to go home on iron suppliments. Anyways that was that. Hes here and fine an I love him. I'm sore and dissapointed I didn't get the birth I imagined but the important thing is he's safe. Xxx

 

[Dollybird]

Sorry loadsa typing errors but I'm sure yous get the idea! Lol xxx

 

[MommyNikki]

Congrats Jess! I'm sure your just happy he's here... Lol anyone who wants a natural birth should probably jump off this thread lol


Dolly I'm glad your surgery went well and you are recovering just fine. It sucks going through all of that just to end up having a c section. The pic is gorgeous !

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Congrats Jess!! I can't wait to see pics!

Jenna, he is adorable! That's quite an ordeal you had to go through to get him here, but glad he is safe and healthy!

AFM- I am in quite a bit of pain again this morning. Last time it was more to the left side, but its more centralized this time. I'm hoping this doesn't last for 4 more weeks! I'm thinking I need to get my hospital bag ready, and if I feel better this afternoon, I need to go get a present for Mikey from baby.

 

[bazzb]

Ladies it looks like af got me today!
My first 28 day cycle ever! I am
Beyond happy right now

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

[MommyNikki]

Tara I'm holding up okay...went to roar on the shore last night...did a lot of walking and this morning I paid for it. I just knew all that walking was gonna start contractions but NOPE... Baby is going to make me file a eviction notice (..or wait til the 31st) lol I know what you mean about the weather...we're pretty close so we got the cooler air right when you did and it was a blessing!!! I can actually put a fan in the window without making my house hotter lol

Bailey good ideas to start after vaca, since you don't know how it will act with your body at first

Jess & Jenna - how's it going with the babies??

Amanda - any new updates ?

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Tara- it has been very steamy and humid here too! It rained a little yesterday, and today you couldn't walk outside without instantly sweating!

AFM- the pain stopped yesterday afternoon, and I felt much better since then! I ended up going to get Mikey's gift from baby this afternoon. John is going out of town tomorrow morning until Thursday afternoon, so I am nervous since I am so close. I don't want baby to come while he is gone! Mikey has been acting up lately, and frankly driving me crazy, so this might be a very not fun week for me! I'll try to get my new bump pic up tomorrow since its been a while!
