Also, I couldn't really put my fingers inside, it felt like I was pushing on a balloon covering something hard. Her head is engaged?

Sounds like you are dilated and that it may be her head you felt! Here is to hoping something will happen soon for you.

You and me both!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Nikki, now I remember Sarah (La Mere) did mention her having a balloon kinda thing that you pump to do perigneal massages.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

@sassy: I'm super duper sorry you are so sick! I know how congestion can be a pain by itself, can't imagine having it while being this heavily pregnant. I really hope you feel better soon.

 

[River12]

Sassy I'm so sorry you are so sick. Ive only had a stuffy nose and that's bad enough.
I have an old family member who swears by putting vicks rub on your feet a d then socks to sleep in. Weird I know and I have no idea how it actually works but she swears by it. I guess anything is worth a try.

 

[Leinzlove]

Sassy: How awful! I hope you find some relief soon.

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'm taking mainly newborn and a few (like 1-2) 0-3 months, the newborn stuff in the UK is 6-10lb mainly so hoping it will be ok. Alot of people have said they had bigger babies and still used their newborn stuff

I have a question ladies...did anyone notice their belly go from hard to floppy tonight it feels as if lo has gone back and dropped and I have a little fat pouch at the bottom of my bump anyone else notice that?

Mine has been like this today, even my mum and nan commenter a out who soft and squiggly it felt compared to normal

Thanks Deedee... That's kind of what I'm thinking. Maybe munchkins and boxed coffee from Dunkin? Just a small gesture to thank them as I'm sure they will be doing a lot!!

3 am and I have barely slept as my cough has turned next to uncontrollable. At times, it is making me gag. I think I may head out to urgent care sometime tomorrow so that they can help me out. It would take too long to get into a doctor and at this point, I need relief now. The ER takes way too long and I don't want to run the risk of being around even more sick people. Hopefully the urgent care can help.

 

[darkstar]

Hope you feel better soon Sassy, it sounds awful

 

[sassy_mom]

Thanks I don't know what the heck is going on! It makes me a little nervous as it is officially my due date and I've been cramping and they did the sweep so labor could come anytime and I know there is no way at all I could give birth like this so I have to get someone to help me find out what this is and how to get rid of it fast. I really would rather not have to go in and have to have a c-section because I'm so sick. I also hope Chloe is ok in there. It makes me nervous about how hard I have been coughing and how I haven't slept in 2 days. I just don't want it to take its toll out on her as well.

I'm sure Chloe is fine. My midwife told me sometimes we mothers feel so rotten because our bodies make sure the babies needs are looked after first. Your body is probably putting so much energy into growing and feeding her that its taking you longer to recover and heal xx. And hopefully in labour adrenalin will kick in and help you!

 

[darkstar]

Ok that is the last time I read the february due thread. They have two born already. If I go overdue I dont want to be reading that! LOL

 

[ARuppe716]

Sassy- I really hope you feel better!! Dh has been sick and and can't seem to shake it either. He's worried they won't let him in the OR!

No news from LIlah...hope she's doing well!!

I'm having a rough night sleepibg... My brain is not cooperating. I can only imagine trying to sleep tomorrow night knowing I will be a mom the next day! As it is I'm already thinking that its only 36 hours away!

 

[fingersxxd]

Sassy you sound exactly like me. I vomited this morning from coughing. It's been 4 days since I've slept more than 2 hours. My doctor gave me a nasal spray, a neti pot and codeine cough medicine. It helps a little. I know it's not great for the baby but I've been thinking exactly like you, how am I going to push out a baby when I'm this sick and tired. I hope you get some relief. My doctor said the only non baby friendly issue with what I'm taking is the heart rate may go down a bit but since the lowest it's ever been is in the high 140s she wasn't worried at all.

 

[Leinzlove]

Doesn't that make our EDD's seem soon? If there are already 2 born in the February thread? Wow!

I feel bad for those Due in December and still waiting.

 

[prayingforbby]

Been having period-like cramps for the past few days.

Have an appt today hoping to get some good news!

 

[CharlieO]

Does anyone know if baby being breech is supposed to make me more uncomfortable? My bump is super tender and i'm very uncomfortable when he stretches, like take my breath away uncomfortable. but as this is my first i don't know if this is just standard final 2 weeks discomfort!

 

[jellybeans]

Which of you ladies are giving your babies the vitamin k jab? I definitely am after reading the leaflet my MW gave me!

We nurses LOVE treats!! My c section was in the afternoon so I brought a cheese and cracker tray and some chocolates. If you go in the morning something like that would be much appreciated I'm sure!! Quite often we don't have time to take an actual lunch or break so if there's something there to munch on it's great.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I think im going to have my mother, mil or hubby pick up some bagels..coffee...juice etc. for the nurses tomorrow morning...since tonight they arent doing much of anything with me except the balloon..
