Due in July 2012

Angieloo- that's gotta be your plug. The first time it was clear and very thick with a tint of blood. This am it was just a clearish color but kind of cloudy but no blood st all. This is tmi but only way to really make the point.....I know it's not jut discharge bc it's super thick almost like a gelatin. It is not just a thick fluid it's like snot kind of if that makes sense. And every single time I've noticed it it was after cramping/contraction.

Ahhh I'm going to get on my ball. Just went grocery shopping for a long time. About to make some sweet tea for the fridge so it's in there. Then....be on ball for a while. I wish theyb would hurry up and come out ...........
 
Claire good luck!! Have sex!! I had sex the night before I went into labor! And also bounced on my ball a lot the day before. Contractions really quickly went from six to three for me.

Interesting article... I have so many friends that scheduled their c-section.
Thought maybe this will help us to be more pstient. I found it bc I was researching when women typically give birth (first pregnancies). Typically....it's later rather than earlier.........:(

Thanks! Sex is so hard :( never thought id say that. Ha. I will for sure be on my ball as soon as I take a cat nap.
 
My leg dislocated during sex the other day !! Was crying and laughing haha .. Sorry for tmi .. Almost there now ladies. My plug was thick and clear it sits on top of tissue/pad and doesn't sink in .. My back is still throbbing . ,:(
 
Omg mummy. That's terrible/ hilarious. And sounds soon painful. Ugh. Yes plug doesn't soak into anything! It's like a big mass of stuff. When did you lose yours mummy?
 
I know it was painful so I was crying but laughing cause twas so funny .. Not trying that one again haha

Iv been losing bits over the past week always been clear, and yesterday I lost loads .. So hopefully something happens. Xx
 
What you ladies described is exactly what mine was-- super thick like gelatin.
I've been having sex every other day and no baby yet, but hopefully it's making me dilate.

I am hoping he will be here by Monday next week. After that I think we will start talking induction ASAP:)

I like that article Claire- it does make me feel a little more at ease with going to my actual due date
 
Yea angieloo- I agree. I broke down in car tonight and cried. Soooooooo not feeling well. Don't wanna induce now. It's not even an option bu I wish she was ready and I would go into labor on my own. That'd be so great. Like tonight. I'll even take 3 am:) anything. My next appt is this Friday at 10 am to do u/s to check her size then back at 4pm for actual see dr appt. so I'll know more this fri which is my 39 week appt. I doubt anything will happen though.i think she's big but not toooooooo big....... That's my gut feeling

I still have no true instinct as to whnen it will happen though. Wish I did I instinctively knew she was a girl. I dreamed it at about 11 weeks pregnant. I dreamed she will have brown hair and blue eyes... I dreamed a long time ago she would be born July 13 but no longer have that feeling so much.

Idk. If anyone up tonight just post something or anything, I m sure I will be up so I will read it. Nights are the worst:(
 
Its seaming like a struggle now ladies but we'll get there .. There is one thing were all gonna have by the end of the month lol.. We've made it this far :D
 
First night in weeks I slept. Wow! Unreal I forgot what that feels like.
Steph- isn't that the dang truth.....
I got my ball down here in the living room and it's 830 and I'm about to get on it.
I forgot. I never took any pictures of nursery. It's finished except the light is being changed out to a chandelier and I'm getting a rug and a slate colored glider chair. Otherwise it is now it is..l.
Im bored so just thinking of things i can do today. I'll take some pics when I go back up there. Those stairs hurt though :)

One contraction woke me up last night but that was it... How big is the plug?????
Just when I think I've lost it all it it seems to somehow appear again. I'm going to google it today to see what I can find.
 
That is a good question. I have no idea you know .. I lost a big bit a while back and then another big bit a few days ago. It can grow back but I think at this stage thats very unlikely cause baby is bigger and putting more pressure down xx
 
Grow back..... Blah on that mess. Got pedicure this am and did grocery yesterday. It's so satisfying to be like- this is the last time I will do this before baby.ha. It kind of keeps me going.
Angieloo??? Where a you????? Did you go into labor?????????????? It's unusual not to hear frm you by already this late in the day!
 
Lol.. All my signs are there just need something to get happening , lost my plug , sorry for tmi but had a huge bout of diahorrha , cramping round back, shes slowed down, bumps dropped , and iv had sudden urges of energy but still .. No baby or contractions.. BH has stoped tho..
Angieloo hope ur okay!
 
Steph- that's me. All of it yet nothing. What in the hell? I just don't get it. And you and angieloos dates are closer than mine but still... I can feel her move her head. She is really really low.
I've read read read and i have all the tell tale symptoms of impending labor but still nothing happens...... When I quit caring is when it will happen bu I can't quit bc I'm so miserable. Ugh

What do you do all day? I just sit around watch tv. Google stuff. Water plants. I, soooooo bored :growlmad:
 
Luckly I got the girls, they keep me busy. And my OH is off work right now on leave . But im the same if theyre playing or of with my OH I sleep, eat, and google anything haha..
Xx
 
No baby yet ladies :) my MIL is here so I've been out and about.

I did some research and apparently your plug can replenish itself and most of what we are losing is cervical mucus that is caused by all dilating.

I haven't had anymore false labor pains, but DH and I will be dtd again tonight and hoping for contractions to start soon after :)
 
PS I think these babies are messing with us! Silly stubborn babies :) I'm having lots of signs too, but no baby yet- I have a poll running and almost half the people with guesses in ate already out because they guessed too early - lol my personal guess is either the 12th or the 16th. Hope I'm not wrong and go even more over!
 
Ahhh Angie we have bets going too. 600$ is up for grabs. My mom thinks July 27. My hub said July 13. Sil said July 9 so if I went into labor tonight she would win. Basically she lost:) lol
I said July 25. I don't think it will be that late bc I think she bigger and I don't think it's a real issue right now but I don't think they will let me go past in fact I think they may induce which I don't necessarily want. I was hoping I would go into labor before appt thurs.
I agree about the mucus but my biggest was kind of bloody so i thought it was the actual plug. Who knows. My husband is BFF with a retired obgyn and they played golf today. He said if I was his patient he would induce bc my bishop score had to be high.... 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced as of last week. He didn't know about head position etc.... Bc they didn't tell me. I really really don't want an induction but im ready to have her. I'll just have to wait until thurs and see what they say.

Angie and Steph- what do y'all think about induction?? Want it or want to avoid it?
 
*big hugs* to you ladies. I am thinking about you all!!! Sending you lots of labour vibes!!!!!!
 
Thanks bug! Glad you are doing well. Can't wait to join in other chat..... We are still waiting.

I bounced on my ball tonight. Nothing. She's been extremely active since about 7ish. No rhyme or reason to her patterns. She's fairly still for a day or soon then really active. Anyone else have this? The days shes Still worrries me but 2x ive called during this pregnancy and everytime she has been just fine.
She's been on a roll tonight. Finally settling down.
Iread about membrane sweep and omg people do it themselves. No way!!!!!!!!!! Im desperate but not that desperate.
