~*~ February Flowers 2014! ~ 37 Babies Have Arrived! ~*

I can't remember if I updated yall. I put pics and birth story in 3rd trimester if you want to take a look!
 
Well Dr said baby is perfect, she has no worry. :dance: When she did my check I am 3 cm and she did another sweep. This time I bled from it and have had good tightenings. Lets hope they continue to pick instead of the usual and fizzle out. FX!!
 
Just read your post in 3rd Tri, congrats Bailee!

AFTG- great news about being 3cm!! Was the sweep as uncomfortable this time? Fx'd things finally speed up!

At first it was, then as she kept going it wasn't at all. I was pleasantly surprised.
 
I'm not 100% but I think labour is looming.
Watch this space :haha:
 
Goodluck girls fingers crossed. Nothing for me today but I'm ok with that :)
 
I'm sure mines a practice run. They aren't lasting long and there's no pattern x
 
Congrats Dancer and Bailee!!!
And good luck to anyone having signs...
I have lost loads more plug this evening, contractions coming randomly and not getting regular or more intense as yet so the wait continues...
 
Thank you ladies! Here's Evelyn Rose's birth story:

Yesterday at 1:30 PM I felt a little gush of fluid and had a big wetspot but couldn't tell if it was pee or waters haha so I put on a pad and kept working. Maybe an hour later, I had another gush and it was clear and didn't smell like pee. So called the drs but of course they had closed early because the snowstorm was so bad so had to wait for the on call doc to call me back. Dr said to head to the hospital! Had to wait for DH to make his way through the storm and get DD from daycare and wait for gma and gpa to come over to watch her. While waiting I found out it was definitely waters as I was leaking like a faucet!

Finally everyone arrived and we headed to the hospital in a snowstorm haha but made it safely. I still wasn't having any major contractions though so wasn't sure what was going on. Got there around 6 and they checked me at 6:30, I was still 2.5 cm! So frustrating. Dr wanted to start pitocin immediately since I wasn't in active labor and waters were gone :( I managed to get them to put it off for a couple hours but still no progress so around 9:30 they put me on it. Was definitely not how I wanted things to go but hospital staff was worried about infection so it was what it was. Contractions got intense very quickly and like I expected I caved and got the epidural around midnight but all those contractions were worth it as after the epi they checked me and I was at 7! Unfortunately the epidural was less than successful and only worked on my left side :( but I didn't have long to deal with it! At 1 the anesthesiologist came back to redo it but they checked me again and I was complete! After 5 pushes she was out into the world and took to the breast straight away, ate for an hour! Aphar scored of 9 and 9, weighed 7lb 9oz and 20.5 inches long. I ended up with a first degree tear that needed stitches but not too bad.

Sorry it's so long! Can't wait to read all your updates and hope you aren't waiting too much longer!

Gorgeous little girl Dancer! Sorry things didn't turn out quite like you wanted but glad everyone made it safely! :flower:
 
Just had my midwife appointment.
Did I ever mention how much I love my midwife??
I told her about all the BH and pressure and asked for a sweep which she said she will do!!!

So she did it in my bedroom,
She found my cervix! And I was a loose 1cm.
She stretched it around and got me to a loose 2cm!

Cervix is soft and ready. She said in my notes I'm semi effaced.
I'm so pleased. When I had my first check with my son they couldn't even find my cervix!

Yay!!
I'm hoping it won't be long.
 
Wow that is awesome that she did that for you!! Also great progresses so far. I hope this does something for you Katiie!!

AFM my tightenings are definitely stronger. Was feeling through my sleep, and would get up either to pee or get more comfortable through them.
