Im supposed to dtive an hr away to train a girl at work.... what to do?!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Oh so excited! Potentially two babies on the way plus those inductions.

I have midwife today for 38 week check. I had some really odd orange stuff in my knickers earlier, by no means a lot but enough to notice it. Wonder what it was? No sign of plug etc.

My 5 yr old niece is staying tonight, I wonder if this little man will decide it's time as I'll har my hands full already with her!

Oh amazing news, my sister just won £1000 on a scratch card!

If be inclined to stay put hun, if this is it you don't want that added stress plus being an hour away. Could you do any of the training over the phone perhaps?

Perhaps. I did print a workbook in case i had the baby before today

Crazy to come on and see that possibly AJ/ Jaime are both starting something..... EXCITING!

Try to keep walking ladies, stand and sway ur hips - they say this helps keep moving the baby down as well as progress contractions. If changing ur activity doesn't change these contractions, they say it's the real thing!'

AJ, sounds like ur really coming along for sure - u may want to ring the midwife sooner than later since she will have time to prepare and to tell u if this is really happening or not. This is her JOB, don't feel that ur inconveniencing her at all!

Good luck both!!!!

 

[Lilahbear]

So exciting that things may be happening for a couple of you!

 

[Betheney]

Still here, 9 contractions in the last hour, still about a minute long, most of them have been 7 mins apart, one as long as 14 mins, the shortest has been 3 mins so I still dunno if its the real thing. Had 3 BMs so far and the more intense contractions make me nervous, still having pink when I wipe too so we'll see how it goes. I don't want to call my midwife until I'm absolutely sure this is it.

Would love a nap but I wake up for every contraction so that may not be possible.

My contractions were irregular my entire labour with Eva anywhere from 2mins to 8mins. Right up until delivery. But they were all at least 1min 30secs long. They also definitely progressed pain wise, the intensity and pain got worse as the day progressed, another sign its labour.

 

[BabyHopeful2]

Woohoooo AJ!!!!

Afm- I feel so much better... Whcih stinks bc I guess it means nothings happening. Spotting jhas stopped. BH have stopped. I slept a full, wonderful 8 hrs...

This happened to me too! I slept 7 hours last night and am feeling amazing!

 

[sassy_mom]

How exciting! Just logged on and maybe 2 babies!!!!! I'll be checking through the day now to see what is happening!

 

[darkstar]

Aahh exciting, 5am here and I woke to pee and came on to check if anyone is in labour. Need some popcorn in here while we watch...

 

[jrowenj]

hahaha! I just talked to my mom and she said I am going through the exact same thing she did with her first baby! She said she was spotting and then got period like cramps and then a couple hours later my brother was born! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jrowenj]

I am going to run errands with my husband... so, I won't be on BnB for a couple hours. Will definitely log on to my phone or text Nikki if something happens...

Good Luck, AJ! I hope today is our day!!!!!! I can't wait to check in on ya later!

 

[CharlieO]

How exciting! babies everywhere!! fingers crossed for you all!!!

AFM today we scheduled a c-section, as baby is still breech.... 15th of Jan now! eeeep!

 

[DittyByrd]

Wow! We're about to have a baby explosion!!! How exciting. I will be stalking all day, lol...what else can I do on modified bed rest?

I am not sure if I told you girls this, but yesterday AM during fetal monitoring I was contracting every 2-5 minutes! The nurse asked me if I felt anything and I told her I felt tight but I wasn't sure if it was a contraction of the baby pushing out toward my ribs. It was a contraction. That will definitely help me know the difference in the future!

So, it seems like I had some wicked fluid retention. I weighed myself this morning and I had lost 7lbs since I was admitted to the hospital (yes, that's in 36 hrs)!!! Call me crazy, but I feel lighter.

I have my next appt on Wednesday and then a NST on Friday of next week. I had a lot of bleeding after this past appt with my internal exam. Reminded me to wear a pad next week.

All this crap I went through has made me want to get my hospital bag completely packed ASAP. That's my lone project today - and maybe baking some cookies.

 

[AJThomas]

Gave my midwife the heads up so she knows to be ready. Had to upgrade from a liner to a pad, *TMI* having both blood and mucus. Managed to get a nap between contractions and then a hot shower which felt awesome! But that messed up my counting so not sure how frequent they are now or anything, monitoring them again to see. Bouncing on my ball and keeping a hot water bottle nearby for my back, gonna see if I can manage a bit of walking too.

Eta: finally got my bag all packed

 

[jrowenj]

I had to log in on my phone bc I'm so excited for babies coming! AJ! You're really moving along!!!! Eeeeeekk!!!!!

Ditty- man, you've been through the damn ringer the past few days!

Charlie- sucks baby is breech but excited to know ur bean will be coming in a few weeks!

 

[els1022]

Good luck, ladies! It sounds like this could be it for some of you!

 

[Kaiecee]

Good luck Aj can't wait for these babies

 

[ARuppe716]

Had my 37 week appt and left so frustrated!! I had to wait forever and then was told I don't start getting internals until next week. I had a trace of protein in my urine but bp is good. I tested positive for group b. Then even though I was told that they no longer do fundal height at my last appt, she measured and I'm still 3 weeks ahead. She had a resident training with her and I felt a little like I wasn't there because she kept talking around me. I get another ultrasound next week because baby measured big and I've gained too much weight. This is after last week a different doctor didnt seem concerned about any of it. I then went to make my appt and they tried to push me off until almost 39 weeks and the only time slot I could get was with the dr I like the least in the afternoon on Friday when the wait is the worst. I tried to make this appt last week and they wouldnt let me and now they have pretty much no time slots left! Ugh...

I came home so upset because I felt like such a bad mom because of the weight gain. I know I've gained a lot, and I probably could have eaten better, but I have a ton of swelling and it's not like i sat at home for months eating candy! I just worry they'll decide to do an induction or c because of mine and the baby's size... While it would be nice to go early I hate to think I may have put my baby at a higher risk of complications because I didn't eat enough salad. Luckily my dh is wonderful and has managed to say some great things to help calm me down. I was just so frustrated- it seemed like nothing could go right

 

[jrowenj]

Amanda- sorry your appt was so crappy! Don't worry about the weight gain being ur fault. I've eaten like an unhealthy pig and only gained 16 lbs so it clearly is just different bodies reacting differently to pregnancy. Its not ur fault at all! The dr today sounds like an ass. I'm sure your jellybean is as healthy as can be in there!
