January Jellybeans 2013!...

[DeedeeBeester]

Deedee, I've been experiencing a lot more cramping too, in my back and pelvis and even in my thighs. I think the baby is just getting so big and all our areas down there are expanding and preparing for labor that it feels like a lot of strain. I have this feeling that you or melly will be next, though. So maybe its the very beginnings of labor or something.

AFM, husband and I are going out for some spicy Indian food tonight. I don't really have any faith in old wives tails, but we'll see if it has any effect. Wish me luck!

Oh I hope so! I wouldn't mind that at all! LOL I hope we feel better hun, or we get these babies out!

I have the most wonderful husband and mum in the world. Dh hated seeing me so upset this morning so he text my mum and asked if she would mind visiting. she lives 3 1/2 hours away in the Highlands, but she jumped straight on a train and came to see me. I had no idea till she arrived at the door this evening. it was such a wonderful surprise.

woooo it's gone 12 in the UK so it means i'm officially full term

 

[mellywelly]

Ahh that was so sweet of him lilah!!!

Mine went out to get me a kebab lol, he wants this baby out!

Had a strange feeling tonight, a pain starting at the bottom of my back and then all the way round to the front. It was kind of like I had a thick belt on that was far too tight?

Thank you for the support ladies! They have a formula in which they use the estimated baby's weight and size with my own size and weight gain. I'm in the low range of the medium risk but it's still scary nonetheless. She did warn that the ultrasound weight can be off by a pound in either direction, but that means he could be as small as 7lbs or as big as 9lbs! As of right now, I think we're leaning towards the C-Section...I would feel horrible if we attempted a vaginal and something happened to the baby that I could have prevented. We're going to take the whole weekend to think it over and make a decision, and if we go with the C we will call them on Monday to schedule. I'm holding out that something happens over the weekend and we don't have to make a decision!! Come on full moon and snowstorm-make this baby come!

Nursed my daughter for nap time today and got some contractions. But nothing I was really worried about. They hurt but since I just had a baby 19 months ago I knew the real thing would be alot worse.

After a bit I went to lay down to take a nap and hopefully have everything calm down. I laid down at 1 and didn't get back up until 4. I normally can only get a 30 min nap in. Not because my hubby doesnt try to let me rest, but because my body just wont nap.

Wonder whats going on. Even though this is number 4, every pregnancy is so different! My first was induced, my second my waters went ( i didnt have contractions until I got to the hospital!) and my third I went into labor in the middle of the night and docs broke my waters.

i feel like a little kid..im so anxious to see if there going to call me to induce labor! Im all set for Monday though if they dont. I wanted to take down christmas stuff, but dh just wanted to relax and he said he will do it even if baby is here!

Hope all you ladies are feeling well!

Had my 38 week appointment yesterday baby is down but not locked in and my doctor said the strangest thing to me :S he told me he is hoping i go early... why would my doctor be hoping i go early? he made ma an appointment for next week but then said he is hoping to see me before that. i want her to come out already but why on earth would my doctor want her to?

[ARuppe716]

Ive been in limbo all day, getting contractions here n there, but nothing steady or too painful anymore....im hoping she comes before induction but it seems unlikely lol...i went shopping with mom, lunch, then napped then went to dinner with hubby since it may be a possibility theyll induce monday instead of wednesday! I hope...im so uncomfortable..my sciatica is acting up, and she dropped even more and i can feel it...

 

[Kaiecee]

my bh are so bad sometimes i think ill die but im not worried about him coming before my c section on the 11th

 

[sassy_mom]

sounds like we have another little cluster about to go! Not sure if my body is clearing itself for labor but last night and today I've had several episodes. It happened a week or so ago but it was just a digestive issue and not upcoming labor. Not putting anything into it as I don't want to get frustrated again.

I hope LittleJ is doing ok. Haven't heard from her since her brief check in. Hope Braxton came out of NICU and she got settled with that surgery.

Also forgot to mention that I asked about my itchy bump. My OB said that it's normal ti have it at this stage and has recommended Benadryl to take down the itch. She also said I could take Tylenol pm to sleep better and itch free...

I've had two today, and two yesterday. I was taking metamucil for awhile because I wasn't going at all without it, so even if this isn't a sign, its a very welcome change.

 

[ARuppe716]

Isn't the itch awful? I hate it!! But just sent dh out in search of either one of those for me to take! It's going to be a good night!! With my luck I'll be comatose and my water will break and I'll have to try to function!!!

 

[brieri1]

Question, ladies! What does a mucus plug look like? I think I may have just lost mine, but there wasn't any blood. I went to the bathroom and when I looked in the toilet before I flushed, I there was a solid-ish yellow chunk of goo. It was about the size of a quarter. Does that sound like a mucus plug to you?

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Lol... Its just the stretching! My belly is all red and now that she dropped its all itchy on the bottom portion...i even noticed a stretch mark on the lower part since she dropped! Happy slleping!
