Precious pic Canada!
I wear the binder (same as belly band I think... Just big elastic material type thing with Velcro) all day my long... It made laughing and cough post section more bearable too. I would wear it at night, but I'm worried it'll slide and pull at my incision, so I'll start doing that next week or so.

 

[Flagirl]

Ok I'm getting a band regardless. Sounds awesome

Canada- my story will probably go something l like that i mentally am as ready as I can get I think but ill orob doubt it's of for real.


She has slowed downs so much! Is this normal? I feel her but she is not nearly as active as she used to be. Sometimes it worries me. I went in last week for it and she was fine they said when they did the biophysical so........ It is freaking me out . Steph? Angieloo? Are y' all experiencing this?
For those of you that have had babies already- do you remember this?

I'm going to walk a lot today and cross my fingers!!!!!!!!!!!
It's 5 am and I'm up again. I rarely ever sleep anymore. I think im pretty prepared for her arrival

 

[Bug222]

Thanks for sharing your story Canada!!! She is gorgeous!! I can't believe you are moving with a newborn!!!!

Iain had some ver quiet days but if u are worried def get checked out!

 

[AngelaSD]

Ladies ! So sorry I haven't been able to get on here and this will be short but as soon as I get home and settled I'll be back!!

Micah AnnaLeigh Dewey was born July 5th at 10:45pm 7lbs 10oz and 21" long. After a horriffic 10 hours of horrible labor and then another 5 hours of bearable labor it ended in an emergency c section Micah wasn't moving her heart rate kept dropping but the surgery went fabulously and I couldn't be happier to just have her in my arms now! It's been a tough recovery from the horrendous labor prior to the surgery. We're hoping we can go come tomorrow?!

I will talk with you all SO SOON I PROMISE!

 

[Bug222]

Oh congratulations Angela! I cant wait to hear all about her!!!

 

[mummyofgirls]

Xx

 

[Flagirl]

[angieloo]

Congrats Angela!!! Hope you recover quickly and you guys get to go home soon!

Major meltdown number 100 today- I am SO ready to have this baby- I'm not even at my due date yet, but I'm beyond ready.

So i was whinning about Ben not being here yet and my husband told me I was being a bit over the top and he would be here soon and I just need to relax and take my mind off it. I flipped!!!! I told him he was the one sleeping peacefully while I get up 8 times a night to pee, which involves half rolling, half pulling myself off the bed, only to step onto feet that are killing me. Then I get to lay on my side which I hate since I'm a back sleep, on my hips, which hurt like crazy and as soon as I'm slightly comfortable enough to sleep I have to pee again.

Lol- yes I'm a tad dramatic these days. His response was, you're right and I'm sorry. He is pretty wonderful and I'm very lucky to have him. I can't wait till our little family is finally plus one

 

[Flagirl]

Aww angieloo. It sucks so badly I know exactly how you feel. Rolling off bed and half pulling yourself. I've hurt my wrist permanently I think putting the weight on them. I feel your pain. Youre entitled to a gripe fest every now and then. I wish I was as close as you!!! I'm a week and half from due date boooo!!!!!!!

Good thing your hubby is so supportive. Mine is too. He wakes up with me at night. I got out of bed st 4 this am and I tried to sneak out s he could sleep. Turns out he knew I got out of bed but he did manage to fall back asleep until 730ish.


I'm pretty sure the fluid ( tmi....sorry) I lost this am was my plug!!!! So now I'm 3cm dilated, 50% effaced, and I think my plug is gone. PLEASE WATER BREAK. BREAK TONIGHT. OR TOMORROW. UGH SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

 

[ktskittle]

Congrats Angela!!

 

[Canada8]

yeah angela!!! congrats! i can't wait to see pics

 

[Flagirl]

Angieloo and mummy- contractions 10ish mins apart...,.... But who knows. His could stop and I could go or days!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not due for a week and a half but can't say I'd be mad if I have her now esp if body naturally does it.
I as on my ball tonight and finished a few things in her room. Maybe ball helped or maybe body knows I'm almost done preparing for her arrival. Who knows.
Hell, I may still be prego July 25. Lol

Just updating in case something happens. I'll keep it posted.

 

[angieloo]

I hope it turns into more for you Claire!!! I have had a few rounds of false labor and it super sucks so I hope this isn't false for you. Update if you go in to the hospital

 

[Flagirl]

Angieloo. Me too! So far the same. They aren't super strong. I'm going to the bathroom about every 20 mins though. And I haven't had a lot of water to drink. No clue what this is about or why happening. Have you heard of this ?
When did ur dr tell you to call?like 5 mins apart for atleast 2 hours??

 

[angieloo]

I have heard that peeing a lot is a sign baby is engaged because they're right on your bladder when engaged.

My dr said 5:1:1
5 mins or less apart
1 min or longer in length
1 hour of consistency

 

[mummyofgirls]

Oooo wooo.. Might be another baby around soon then, make sure u drink plenty ! U can contract false labour through dehydration! And id just ring when they get unbearable, with Amelia I had the typical 5;1;1 story. But Ava-Mae my contracts were 10 min apart then Within the hour went to two min apart . Had to get my ass to the hosp pronto!! Lol.

I have been getting nothing !! Been on my ball, curry, sex, pinapple, walking as much as I can with spd,
and nothing ... Apart from this bad back ache that wont go away with pain killers and I lost more of my plug .. Xx

 

[Flagirl]

Still here at home. It subsided as i figured it would. My hubby afraid to leave me lol. I was like this could go on for days but I bet money I'm atleast 4 or 5 cm dilated now. Yay! I lost a lot more mucus this am. That plugs gotta be totally gone now. I was up u til 2 am then slept a few hours. Very very weird night. First night ever that was like that.
I'm just hoping its before fri bc fri I'm afraid they gonna want to intervene. And if I went into today then it's 5 less days she is gaining weight since they afraid she is potentially too big. Plus I'm ok with how old she is now. I think over 38 weeks is good enough. Plenty of babies are born now that do totally fine. My 2 friends both had theirs at 38 weeks and that's bc their water broke and they just went into labor. Both happened to be girls and both never had any problems at all. My dr does like for babies to says atleast 39 weeks ideally but if I go into labor he said its no problem.


Angieloo- you are almost at your 40 weeks. Do you have an induction date yet? I mean I know they will probably let you go until 41 if nothing is wrong and everything ok but I just know if it were me I'd be like ok so whats the date. Bc I'm due July 20 and I can bet you money tht if I'm still pregnsnt this coming fri for my appointments i will be asking them .....ha

 

[Flagirl]

Mummy-
No at home. I couldn't be so lucky. Ha. I'm not going to tell my hubby that.... Its HIS BIGGEST FEAR that they will be every 5-7 mins apart then all the sudden rely close. He's like- I can't do this by myself. We have got to make sure we get to the hospital.lol. It's only about 10 minutes and ,sure even 6 minutes late late st night with no traffic. Lol we will get there. I know there are those 1 in a million cases where all the sudden it just comes and babies are born in cars etc but they told me and I already knew that first time labor and delivery is usually " a process" ie it takes a while....so I'm not too concerned but we were reading last nit and it said they can get really close together and intense very quickly.

The only things I did yesterday that I normally don't do was spend an 2 hours sitting on the ball so maybe that is the key. I sat on it for ant 2 hours straight.....no joke. We were hanging stuff in her room well my hubby was so I sat on the ball bc her glider for in there isn't here yet. I'm gonna watch tv on it today instead of being on couch. ok so here's go hoping someone goes into labor.....today...I need some excitement!!!!! Even if it's not me. Wishing y'all the best for today.
Xxxxxx

 

[angieloo]

My induction date will be July 23rd unless I get 2 centimeters or more before then.

When you're losing your plug is it just clear or brown or pink? I've been havin tons of clear discharge today and cramping off and on
