January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Leinzlove]

Does every women just feel like they are going to go overdue?

 

[River12]

Congrats to all the new mums what an exciting time for you all. Can't wait to join you

 

[Soniamillie01]

I never thought for one minute that I would go over and would have put money on me being early! And here I am 40+3!

I have lost ALOT of mucusy, pluggy type discharge this morning, like the size of my palm, bloody in colour but really sticky - sorry for the major tmi! So assume things are moving long!

 

[Leinzlove]

Sonia: I hope today is the day. Sounds promising! I was curious as I felt like I'd go over with DD and I probably would've had there been no induction. And this time around I also feel I'll go overdue.

 

[Soniamillie01]

I think today may be the day, I've developed a really bad back ache within the last ten minutes, it's quite painful but have always suffered with a bad back. Also very wet downstairs, don't think my waters have broken just mucusy.

It's hard to judge isn't it? I think you'll be a little early, maybe a day or two x

 

[Leinzlove]

I'm sure I won't go to early. I feel to good. It sure is hard to judge.... I hope this is it for you. Jan. 5 sounds like a wonderful birthday.

We tried dtd this morning to get things moving. It was like the scene on knocked up but worse!

 

[mellywelly]

Sonia, sounds promising!!!!!

I didn't think I would go over, I thought I would be early again. I'm now thinking I may even last until induction day, and I think it will end up in a section again

 

[BlossomJ]

Is there any reason to think that Melly, or are you just worried you'll end up with a section? I hope you get your VBAC if you'd like that

 

[brieri1]

I'm officially post date

 

[sassy_mom]

All the spotting and discharge I was having has seemed to have stopped. I didn't think I would go over at all but I am almost positive I will make it to Wednesday for the induction. No cramps or anything. I feel like I will never have this baby.

People are driving me insane with calling and messaging me. I got so many yesterday that I was aggravated for most of the night. I wanted to say leave me alone but I know they aren't trying to be aggravating.

I coughed most of the night last night and poor DH slept on the couch because of it. The bruised muscle is hurting me so bad. I could barely roll over in the middle of the night because of it. Stupid cough! It does seem to be getting somewhat better but still dragging on. I feel like a zombie again and really wish I could sleep.

 

[brieri1]

I didn't think I would go over, either. I pulled out all the stops yesterday and I'm going to continue to do the same every day in the hopes it helps, i.e., nipple stimulation, walking, sex (maybe not every day, I was way too tired to last night), epo, bouncing on the birthing ball, etc.

I think next time we have a baby, I'm not going to tell anyone my due date, just give people a range of time that the baby will be arriving in so I can forgo the harassment. Most pregnancies that aren't induced or have something go wrong, or end in a planned c-section, do go past 40 weeks.

Last time they tried to induce me, I had 2 lots of the gel and the drip, which they turned up higher than normal and I still only did .5 cm, so can't see the 1 sachet working this time. They said if I'd made no progress after 6 hours its straight for another section. I will be so disappointed if I can't vbac, I feel like I missed out last time. Dh doesn't understand, he thinks why go through all the pain when they would give me a section if I ask.

 

[prayingforbby]

I tried not telling most people the due date by just saying January, but they would keep asking questions til they got tge actual date. Im kind of lucky though. I live very far from family, so its kind of a out of sight, out of mind thing. Thankfully we havent gotten many calls as most people dont call us anyways lol.

Im pretty sure I'll be over so we just have to see how it goes.

 

[Poppy84]

Just got back from an hours walk. Didn't give me contractions but did give me diarhoea. Nice!!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Melly, I hope you before your induction and if not that the induction works. They haven't told me which type of induction (pessary or drop) but she did say as I was 2/3 already they would probably keep me in to monitor the induction. She said if didn't take within 6 hrs would be section.

Sassy - sound just like me, is just cm now, albeit lots of it! More clear than blood tinged but getting that on and off. No sign here so am back on the raspberry tea and the ball, whilst eating a doughnut - naughty but v nice.

Poppy - looser BM's is good sign!

Brier - I don't think we will either, we haven't had too many people asking as yet but the last day has been lots of questions. I'm now more cautious about who I tell what, and who I give updates to.

 

[DittyByrd]

Congratulations Nikki, Cailidgh, and Aruppe!!! We're on a run of Jellybeans!

 

[Kaiecee]

I've had lower back pain and bh all night but my cesarian is in 6 days I doubt anything would happen before so today I'm gonna try to get a lot done so I have a couple days of relaxation before Riley is here

 

[LadyBug183]

Can somebody please PM me the link to the Facebook page?? I can't seem to find it

 

[claireb86]

Due date today, no signs.
I went 8 days over with DS but I had no signs with him either, I never got a show, loss of plug of waters breaking until the end of my labour.
Been waking around today to see if that helps.
I just hope he comes along before having to be induced.
