January Jellybeans 2013!...

[darkstar]

Is there still just 3 jellybean babies.

I'm genuinly surprised no one has gone into spontaneous labour yet.

Me too! I was just typing that in my post as you did.. usually there are way more by now in most groups I think?

 

[DittyByrd]

I think I'm the only one not Engaged baby is still high up and cervix super closed

As of last week I wasn't engaged or dilated at all, but that was at 35 weeks where I never even expected an internal let alone to be dilated. I go tomorrow and am curious to see what's going on!

Gorgeous pic Jellybeans!!

Melly, I really hope you start to feel better soon, dont want to feel ill before you go into labour!

Sounds like things are moving along nicely for everyone - or at least we're all at the stage of trying things to make things get moving!!

AFM, I had a very surprising Dr appt yesterday which ended in the doc telling me im looking a bit puffy, have slightly high BP and a bit of swelling so they want to induce me on the 27th December??!! It all happened so quick and I didnt think any of my symptoms were that bad?! Anyway, monitoring for
pre-e on Friday so we'll see if that induction date sticks. I may have a 2012 baby afterall - never expected this!!

Hope everyone is doing ok xx

So the induction reasoning is because of slightly elevated BP and not just because of fluid retention, right?

This is SO cute I had to share. I bought this hat for our newborn pictures. It kills me and it's not even my baby. I think my head may explode seeing my child in this.

Yeah, I kind of think it was a combination of the fluid retention, higher BP and the fact that if it got worse over the holiday period, my doc may not be around! I guess I was just a little surprised as none of my symptoms seemed overly bad and I hadnt even had one round of monitoring yet and he was making an induction date!?

I couldn''t imagine inducing just because of swelling or we'd all end up induced! Hoping you pass your pre-e test. What was your BP?

[mommyof2peas]

Had a BnB friend give birth today. We were bump buddies last time around, and ended up pregnant together again. She wasnt due until feb 15th though. Little Kali was 3.5 pounds Made me stop wishing I was done really fast. I am perfectly ok with being in pain and having no sleep for a few more weeks if it means my sweet little man gets to come home with me.

On the plus side both mommy and baby are doing well. So someone was truly looking out for them both today.

I know right!! I am also on medication for Hyperthyroidism so maybe he thinks now that im full term, baby might be better out than in. He did also note a fast weight gain which he thinks is the fluid retention I guess. Gosh I did ask what my BP was but I have the worst baby brain at the moment and cant remember, I will certainly take more note at my monitoring appointment Friday, thanks for the well wishes!

 

[BabyHopeful2]

BabyHopeful should b next in line for delivery, I forget how many days away it is but it's very soon!

induction a week from today!

 

[brieri1]

I tried about an hour or so of nipple stimulation tonight on top of some birthing ball time. I had a whole bunch of contractions while doing so, but they are becoming less strong and further apart the more time that passes. I should probably just relax and let things happen as they may... I'm just so ready to be done!

 

[AJThomas]

I had some crazy Braxton Hicks tonight that woke me up, I was going to start timing them but then I got out of bed to pee and haven't had any serious ones since so I doubt its anything more than a practice run. They hurt quite a bit tho.

 

[ARuppe716]

Awake at 2am so figured I'd go ahead and post that today I'm full term!! Woohoo!! Come on out little guy!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Happy full term Aruppe

I'm 38 weeks today, and have a feeling we are in this for the long haul now! Can see me going through to January x

 

[claireb86]

So for the past few days I've felt very sick (managed not to vomit) and extremely hungry, seems like I'm eating all the time.
I've also overnight and yesterday evening had a lot of BM and obviously a lot of peeling as baby is engaged.
I would really love it if labour started soon or if not before end of week then after Christmas. Been bouncing on my gym ball so will see if that helps.

 

[BlossomJ]

I'm back! Not totally caught up though everyone ok?

Exciting news about the induction date Lillian! Hope your blood pressure comes down though.

Sassy - I've had days where I've been so crabby with DH, he literally couldn't have done anything right! Hopefully he understands. I'm sure you won't have much more of this, you're nearly there

I also can't believe the number of posts or that we only have 3 Jellybeans!

The move went well! Cleaners in at the old place today & then we just need to go back & tidy outside. The new place will take a little longer - there are boxes stacked everywhere!!! I lifted more than I should yesterday & was really hurting by the end on the day, so I guess I should leave them, but I so want to get organised before we go away for Christmas!
