Never hurts to hope though right? lol! When they checked me last week my cervix was soft and I was 0.5 cm dilated. Since then, my stomach has dropped down more and her movements have slowed. I assume because she is engaging. I have been having BH regular and my BM have become looser and looser. Every one has been telling me any day now. Part of me hopes they are right ... more so because I am so over being pregnant!

Well it would suck for me they would probably stop the contractions since I'm suppose to have a planned cesarian on the 11th at 39 weeks

Oh true. I assume though once you hit 37 weeks it is all fair game. lol!

Have any of you that are full term started trying labor preparing/inducing techniques? I have an exercise ball that I've started bouncing on throughout the day, I was reading online that that is supposed to keep the baby pressed against your cervix and encourages effacing. It seems a lot of people go into labor within a couple weeks of starting doing that, but that could just be coincidence.

When I was pregnant with DD, I tried everything and then some and nothing helped. This time, I haven't done anything but my body is already kicking in. It never hurts to try anything!

I was super busy running errands yesterday and when I finally settled down I had contractions for several hours. Enough so that I text my mom and told her she better pray that they slow or her Sunday flight would be too late! she text back and said keep you legs crossed til Sunday.

I was able to fall asleep and have only had a few today. I mentioned to mil I needed to attempt to shave, she said she'd do it, I don't think she realized I wasn't talking about just my legs. anyways I did shave took me over 45 minutes but it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I'm hoping that I will deliver soon enough that I'll only have to do a quick shave of the legs.

Yea you need to stand on your head so she can wait for your mom!

My digestive system is out of whack. Whenever I need a BM I get nauseous and stomach cramps until I can go. Its horrible.

Oh no! That sounds awful! Any idea what is causing it? I hope it goes away soon!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

kaicee.. when i was at the ob on thursday we were talking about induction at 39 weeks but then he said.. well we will talk about it later because we dont even know if youll make it that far... so if baby comes between 37-39 i am pretty sure they will allow u to have your little boy... they would just push the cesarian back to an emergency i would assume. U dont really want to stop labor after 37 weeks since its nature taking its course.

 

[jellybeans]

35 weeks!!

Hey ladies.

Hope everyone is well. Am looking forward to a good catch up on the thread as have missed much of today.

Melly - how was the party?

I've been in hospital this afternoon. It wasn't for me although a few doctors did say don't you go dropping that in here my poor niece, I popped in to see her earlier and she got up to talk to me having been asleep, she looked very vacant in her expression and then she just knocked back, solid bodied on the floor like she was standing up but just hit the floor. She then started shaking like she was having a fit. We've been to get her checked out and all her stats are fine. She feels fine but they are doing some more obs. She is only 11 bless her, was so scary x

Wow, that must have been scary! I hope she is okay.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks Lilah. It was so scary. She seems ok, doctors just checked her over and blood sugars, urine etc. have sent her home as cannot pinpoint it to anything, maybe she got up too quickly? Got to see GP Monday. Part of me would have thought they would have kept her in if they didn't know what caused it but they said the symptoms were not symptomatic of fits linked with brain function etc so think that's why she came home x

 

[sassy_mom]

Sonia hope she is ok and that they can find the source!

I'm hurting a little now. Earlier it was an easy ignorable discomfort. Now there is pain. DD and I have watched Christmas movies all day so I have been resting as much as I can. I'm still having to struggle with the swelling though. My right foot is drastically better but my left almost seems a little worse. Trying to keep them propped way up.

DH has been off for 4 days and got 2 long shifts today and tomorrow but then said he would be off for 2 weeks. Not excited about the fact that there will be no money but life always works in mysterious ways. Life has a funny way of working and I have always believed that everything happens for a reason so I am taking it as a blessing that I will have him here when the baby is born and he will be able to help make sure things run smoothly.

 

[CharlieO]

Sonia, i hope your niece feels better x x

 

[ARuppe716]

Sassy I'm right there with you today. I've taken it easy since lunchtime and my feet look like troll feet! Plus I'm tired and just feeling blah. Ugh... I would welcome this baby at any moment if it meant I would feel better!!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Oh Sonia! I hope it was only her getting up like that! A scare like that would of scared baby out of me!

 

[AJThomas]

Sonia I'm glad your niece is ok! As you say maybe she just got up a little too quickly.

I bounce on my ball every now and then, not regularly but I find it helps when baby is in some really uncomfortable positions. I've done a little bit of walking as well but rain keeps getting in the way so I haven't done it as often as I want to.

I know I'm forgetting loads but as usual I can't remember a thing.
