February 2013 Love Bugs

[tntrying22]

oh embo so sorry about her LO - I can't imagine

Yay Blue and cherry!

DH is being hard to convince to dtd - cant blame him - who would want to be sexy with a huge pregnant woman covered in a miserable rash

Oh well least I have my date for induction - I've been spending the day trying to get work items in order so I leave them prepared

Question for you ladies - what was baby doing when you all were in labor or having contractions? Do they move around and have sleep periods like when you are just pregnant?

 

[babydreams85]

Can't even find mine, my vagina has eaten it!
xoxox

It's not easy to feel. I've been doing my own cervical checks for weeks (did it while TTC too). With the belly it's definitely challenging. I put one foot on the lid of the toilet and the other on the floor, sort of squat down, and put in my index and middle finger and push them in as far as I can. I wish I knew how to do my own S&S...I would! Now that I'm somewhat dilated when I go to check it I put my finger in and swirl it around...but I doubt that's enough LOL

 

[babydreams85]

PS-All the sex in the world hasn't helped me. DH has been happy to comply. Neither sperm nor DIY techniques did a damn thing lol

 

[Newt4]

There was actually a peer viewed studying showing that sex actually didn't help bring on labour. I think it worked for 40% of the couples.

 

[PerpetualMama]

can't find mine that I know of...it's all just soft and squishy in there, coagulated glop on fingers after, perhaps that's more plug...

 

[mrsswaffer]

Probably, PM. All I had was creamy CM after checking. Humph!

 

[babydreams85]

I get big pieces of plug everytime I check PM.

Oh Embo that poor woman my condolences to her.

My contractions went from every five minutes to three minutes but not painful at all and now ten minutes BLAH! They are just crampy so DH and I dtd but nothing has helped

Hope it happens soon for you! You are nicely dilated so I bet it won't be long.

 

[cherrylee]

Fx lol. My DR sounded excited for me when he checked hahaha men are weirdos!

 

[fides]

read through everything but now my mind is blank in responding to everyone - just keep thinking about patch.

 

[Jembug]

Poor Ruby is bouncing away on my chest through laughter! Bb so needs a like button!

Ruby was very quiet all day Thursday and the Friday- the day she came... On the Thursday my bump felt heavy and I had period pains when I stood up.
During labour I could only feel the odd leg movement and she had hiccups about an hour before delivery.

My second LO was very very fidgety before my labour began, so much so I was wandering if she was trying to climb out??

So my two were very different in little ways..? Can't remember what my first did?

Ment to say sorry GF, hope you recieve good news in the morning x

 

[fides]

I did have my 41 week appt today - everything was fine with baby and me (such a relief!!), so i do have a few more days to get LO out. i'm 4cm now, fully effaced, and baby's fully engaged - she said the last few times she was able to push on his head and he'd move back a bit but now he's stuck. had my 3rd sweep, too. i have to admit i'm getting my hopes up again - 4 cm sounds like such a good number to me - some even count that as active labor!

 

[Newt4]

4 cm sounds awesome just 6 more to go and baby!

I hope labour happens tonight for you!

 

[Wiggler]

Oooh yay, won't be long Fides!!

Well I can safely say I am NEVER DTD again until my pelvis is better, I have never felt pain like it, my pelvis felt like it was going to break apart Its 1am here and I have no idea how I am meant to sleep with my pelvis hurting this much

 

[Jembug]

Hugs wiggler! And Fides you must have words with your cheeky baby!!!

Hugs sasha xxx

I never did get regular contractions they were all over from 3-10mins even transition but I just listened to body xx

 

[Blue_bear]

I'm still here with no contractions. Hump. Just phoned in as got some blood, am to keep an eye on it for half hour or so then if not il have to go in this morning for a check over.
If nothing happens then il be asked back tonight to start induction.....I really don't want to be induced....

 

[cherrylee]

Oh man I'm feeling so sick, my tummy is upset and I've gagged a few times. I got dizzy and had a clear out. I don't know if this is pregnancy related but I feel so damn gross and sick ugh, I hope it gets better soon this is horrible!
