I know I haven't been on this thread long, but I just wanted to say I'm so excited for you ladies to have your babies and to hear about your birth experiences! (Even though I help deliver babies every day, it never loses its amazement and magic!)

[OnErth&InHvn]

TBH, im just not feeling it this cycle again. Hopefully ill be wrong but ......

 

[lenorajoy]

I'm hoping today will be the start of it! I think my body may be working up to labor now on it's own. Since Saturday evening my muscles have been achey, yesterday it was especially my low back and sides and I did have a few contractions. But last night I woke up really nauseous again and since yesterday I've been feeling the need to poop, but haven't been able to. I think I pooped 3 times yesterday (once is normal for me) and felt the need to poop right after I'd finished. I've also been having cramping in my back, sides, and belly half the night and so far this morning. DH was up with me for several hours last night, so he took a sick day. I'm glad because I'll feel better if he's home with me should labor truly start today. I have an appointment at 10 and plan to have the midwife do a sweep to hopefully kick things off.

 

[lenorajoy]

I hope you're wrong, too, Onerth.

 

[pinkpassion]

Excited for you to progress lenora!!

Onerth I hope you're wrong also! I hope you get a beautiful bfp!!!

[OnErth&InHvn]

Lenora, GOOD LUCK!

 

[AugustAngel15]

Lenora- I hope your appointment went well!

I felt this weekend I may have had more progress based on all the pressure. I barely progressed. I'm at 2 but a tight 2. She did do a sweep. Man! That was uncomfortable! I just had that done about 45 minutes ago. A few mild contractions since. Wheeeeew. I hope this does something.

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[FLArmyWife]

August- A sweep at 38 weeks.. wow. Hope you aren't too uncomfortable

lenora- can't wait to hear how your appointment went

 

[lenorajoy]

I had the sweep done, so hoping that leads to something. So far just some cramping here and there, so nothing really different from what I've been having since last night. I did lose another large chunk of my plug, though, with some blood, so fx that sweep will produce some real contractions soon! We made our very rare trip to walmart for some things we needed after lunch and I did a lot of walking around. I did have some contractions, but nothing major really. I'm going to make some Labor Day tea with my raspberry leaf tea later to try to help kick start things. My mom is coming after work tonight so she'll be here for labor when it starts, whether that's at home or the hospital! They measured my fluid levels and they were well out of the normal range, so they wanted to induce me three hours ago! I declined and said we would wait until Wednesday since she had just done the sweep to see if labor would start on its own, but if not 6 am Wednesday I'll be induced! Just a matter or hours really at this point before we're on our way to meeting our baby! I can't wait!

 

[FLArmyWife]

eek it's that final countdown lenora! I hope little bean comes on his/her own. My labor stalled (I assume) as they asked if they could do pitocin. I already had the epidural at that point BUT I've heard so many things about induction being so much harder on the body than natural labor starting. Either way though that baby will be here soon!

Final guess is a boy, born Tuesday between 3pm and 9pm. Some hair but not a lot. Weight I'm guessing 8lbs 8oz, and 18 1/2 inches long. blue eyes.

 

[AugustAngel15]

Fla- She did the sweep because of my knee. Fluid is starting to pool under my incision/scar. My knee is all fat and is starting to give out at times. She doesn't want me to rupture my ACL again. I want to do this as naturally as possible but even with taking it easy, the fluid is still increasing in my knee.

Lenora- I hope this goes as naturally as you want! Thinking about you!

 

[FLArmyWife]

oh. Man I'm so glad my knee didn't give me issues but my knee didn't have as serious of a prior as yours. FX you go naturally and are able to get some relief soon.

 

[drjo718]

Pink, yes I remember you! Thanks!

Lenora, good luck with contractions starting!

 

[lenorajoy]

Oh! I forgot to mention the midwife said I'm about 80% effaced and very soft and stretchy, though I'm still 1-2 cm.

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

Lenora - I went into labor the day of my sweep. The plug started coming away during the day and then bam! Water broke and we were on!

August - I'm sorry you've been so uncomfortable!!! I hope the sweep gets things going. Baby girl is plenty cooked
