[merristems]

[mackjess]

Hope Dolly is doing OK!

Went to a funny movie last night before checking in, No laughing the baby out. When I checked in last night, my cervix had started to soften which is good news since it was still hard on Friday. They went ahead and put the gel on it to soften and thin it out more. THis morning they started me on saline and were checking my BP and getting me on a fetal and contraction monitors, and I was already having contractions! Before they started the oxytocin to induce me!! Yahoo. The nurse said it could indicate that I have a high pain tolerance as they are now 4 minutes apart and I'm not feeling a thing. Let's hope she is right! They did just start me on the meds to induce about 30 minutes ago, and the doc should be in sometime this hour to see if I'm dilating at all, let's hope so.

Monro, wonderful news about how well the stitch worked for you!

 

[merristems]

Eeeeek!! Theres going to be a baby mj any time now! Very good to hear you have high pain threshold! Wish we all did! Fx all goes well hun xx touch base when you can, its getting lonely here! Lol

 

[A1983]

I'm with you merri!! And sprained my wrist so in pain but hoping it goes before labour! Eating a choc muffin to ease the pain. . ;-)

 

[merristems]

Ouch sorry you hurt yourself how did you do it? Be careful hun, you may need your wrists for hanging off of dh!!

 

[A1983]

Exactly Merri! I need to be grabbing things, moving around and holding firmly on to the gas and air and so far I can't even wipe my bum!! But as for how I did it..erm let's just say I hit an emotional wall and oh's strop about seeing the Apprentice results before he'd watched the show and blaming it on me resulted in me becoming a drama queen-bursting into tears and throwing my fork at him!! Although I completely missed and threw it awkwardly hurting my wrist! Just been to Drs as it's swollen-need to ice it and wear a splint!! Ohh dear!

 

[mackjess]

ugh. not dilating, she is going to call the doc to see what she wants to do

 

[merristems]

Lol A1983! Oh dear! Poor thing raging hormones are the worst! Hehe funny image though!

Oh poop mj keep upright or squat to get him on your cervix! Xx.

 

[mackjess]

I have been, and I can feel twinges and pain when I do, and I'm feeling the contractions more. so not sure what's up. they might take me off the meds, let me eat and be free for the night, then give me the cervix softening gel again before bed and try again in the morning. they don't want to give up cause I was having contractions before they started me on meds, and I am respondingto meds. I'm so excited about not being on an iv and getting real food that I'm game for anything.

 

[A1983]

I say have a rest, eat and see how things progress naturally Jess-and yes keep doing what you're doing re staying upright. Good luck hun!

Merri is it just you and me left?!

 

[A1983]

Monroe and Kelly too!

 

[monro84]

I'm still here too lol

I did a bunch of bouncing yesterday drank a RLT. Dh seems to want him to stay a little while longer to get as big as he can he said he is going to be 9 lbs I say your not having him though. Apparently he is under the impression that a big baby is a big boy and that equals a linebacker . I told him we need sex he told me no he has already gone without it pretty much 20 wks so whats a few more. Of couse I really am not in the mood but at least I am more in the mood at night but not in the morning. He is asleep usually after I get out of shower (after self induced O) trying that almost every night for the last 2 wks but apparently not working to good. I cannot really walk to start labor b/c my hip hurts so bad. So back to bouncing and maybe I can attack him before he went to sleep tonight.

On a progression note this morning I lost a little more mucus plug only about 2 pieces the size of a pea. But then this afternoon after lunch after using the bathroom I guess the pushing pushed some more out b/c it was a bigger piece about the size of a lima bean. I guess at this rate I should loose it all by next week hopefully I actually tried to check my cervix in the shower 2 days ago and could not reach it or even touch it.

Maybe I am progressing more than I thought I just went to pee and it was another piece.

 

[mackjess]

meds backed off so they could taper me offand 30 minutes later my water popped. yay!

 

[monro84]

Yeah thats great MJ sounds like he was ready to come today anyways.
