Good morning! I'm awake because a car outside in the parking lot had music to such a high volume. Hubby went out there to tell them to shut the freak up, but still can't go back to bed... I was dressed and even thought of going out and punching that man hahahahaha I was so pissed.

Well... 35 weeks for me!!!!! 5 more to go! 35 days left!

Went for my hospital appointment and went straight through to see the dr, well about 40 mins late! And he said they weren't going to scan as everything seems fine, I felt really disappointed! He said that they will let me go max of 10 days over and have already booked me in for a sweep on my edd just in case. He also said that by 10 days over they will either induce me or offer a cs. The vbac leaflet said no inductions so I double checked with him, and they will induce me, so thats a good thing at least!

Oh Melly, so sorry they didn't give you an ultrasound, but excellent news on everything being fine!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Awe that stinks melly!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I'm not even posting my baby gaga's update on FB, it speaks about "studies show that getting an epidural greatly increases the risk of needing an emergency c-section & can delay labor if given too early on." and I don't even want to start that convo on FB, even more if MIL will see it, I've had it with that talk, really.

 

[jrowenj]

damn, melly... that stinks!!!!

 

[AJThomas]

Yay! Under the 30 day mark!

Ducky sorry for the disappointment but the good news is baby is doing just fine so hang in there.

 

[Kaiecee]

So my numbers were still high yesterday and a little this morning so maybe all those insulin shots take a couple days to show a difference if not I have to add another 2ml at night but hopefully there will be a change tomorrow morning

I can't wait till in laws pick us up on Monday I can get my ring then on Tuesday the 11th it's my bday and dh will be taking me out and it will be exactly 4 weeks till Riley comes next week were getting all the missing stuff and dh is buying me a portable DVD player so I can watch movies in the hospital

 

[BlossomJ]

Sorry about the scan Melly, but great news that you won't be forced to have a section!

Ducky - I'm sure it's better for the baby to stay in there. Hope you're not too disappointed

Kaiecee - Very excited for you getting your ring soon

 

[mellywelly]

Thanks everyone, it is crappy that I didn't get a scan, but ive been thinking and its much better this way round than being told they are going to scan because they think something's wrong.

 

[Kaiecee]

My birth plan is easy they give me an epidural then it's all in less than an hour but the epidural still freaks me out always does

 

[Little J]

Ducky- glad your ok!

I cant poo much either! Iv started to become really gassy tho but when i finally can poo, its like a workout! I am so constipated and finally when its all done, it looks like rabbit turds or that there shoulda been alot more to prove my hardwork for getting it out!

Heartburn is a KILLER for me today, ick

I asked my Dr. yeserday what the game plan was for if she thought Braxton was getting too big etc. She said they ONLY induce if you have GD. Otherwise... they just wait it out until you go into labor on your own. She also said we would try a vaginal delivery no matter what and if complications arise, to do a c-section. I just hope Braxton isnt TOO big where my vagina is gunna explode during delivery!

omg u just explained me in a nutshell... totally gassy and when I do go its like rabbit turds... in addition, i forgot to take my prilosec yesterday and my heart burn is out of control. Ive vomited this morning and literally ate like 10 tums, I dont think I ate anything that would have triggered it that bad... I know its an old wives tale that baby will have a lot of hair, lol but I am really hoping this rings true!

 

[mellywelly]

My birth plan is try to manage on gas & air, listen to midwife and just do as she says! I'll also have the injection that makes the placenta come away and baby will have vit k injection too.

 

[brieri1]

My birth plan is to stay at home until I can't anymore and then go to the birthing center and get in the tub and cry until its over. Its not much of a plan, but its how I'm pretty sure things will go.

 

[La Mere]

Ducky- I am sorry you have to keep going to L&D. Glad everything is okay though.

Melly- Sorry you didn't get the scan, but glad everything is going good. It's nice to know you won't be forced to have a section.

As for a birth plan. It'll pretty much be the same as my birth plan was with Rayven, sans the birthing pool... So we'll be having another dry land birth. No pain relief, except breathing techniques, etc. Got everything ready except the house. The hospital is the same distance from where we live now as the one I ended up giving birth in back in Oklahoma, so there is my back up plan.

Last night I had a dream where I went to the OB and they strapped me to a table and injected me with sedatives so they could do the Strep B testing and a whole bunch of other stuff. It was super creepy.

That dream is easy to interpret: I want to avoid interventions like crazy and have been formulating my birth plan.

Any of you have formal birth plans typed up?

My birthing class has an online website with a typed out birth plan where you put a check mark next to items you like. Our plan is to try to go without pain meds particularly epidural, since I want to be mobile. But I will get an epidural if I need one. I do hate how MIL says she did it without anything.... And DH thinks an epidural represents my being weak if I get it - but I don't care what he thinks when he's not giving birth. The major thing in our birth plan that DH is excited for is that he requested to assist in catching the baby on the way out and cutting the umbilical cord. I have heard of the Dr. delivering the head then working the shoulders out as DH helps catch, but I don't know if our Dr will allow it.

I will find out today at my apt when our induction date is (due to GD). I am a little nervous about being induced. Our birthing class said pitocin can make your contractions more intense than they would be normally, which can lead to getting the epidural, which can lead to inefficient pushing and the need for c-section. I want to avoid that track if possible.
