January Jellybeans 2013!...

Not feeling good before strong bh and I threw up and I know this is tmi but I've had more bm since yesterday now that I was sick I feel better now hoping to finish the whole baby's room don't have much to do just want it done
 
I can call the docs on Monday. But it's a complete telephone game. I call the office, and someone takes a message and gives it to the nurse, who speaks to the doctor, who tell the nurse what he thinks, then she calls me back and let's me know whats going on.

I just think doing it that way my concerns and what not are lost in translation. :( I hope to be able to convince him by saying it's my last one and if we induce we can schedule it for the days he is at the hospital. That way he can deliver at least one of them lol ( I always go into labor when he is doing clinic hours lol)
 
Working hard today to get her to turn around. It seems like every time I go on all fours to let gravity do the work, she braces herself to hold her position. Hopefully it works. Do any of you know how fast this epo works when your past your due date?

My midwife wants me to make my boy turn too, she said he's slightly posterior. I have to bounce on my ball and walk sideways up stairs. I haven't tried all fours yet. Its so hot here and I am so swollen with fluid retention I haven't managed to do too much yet but maybe when it cools down later. I'm hoping it works too! I really don't want a back to back labour.
 
I've been taking epo for 4-5 days now, not a thing, not even any plug or anything! Been taking both ways too lol

I asked my midwife about EPO a couple of days ago and she didn't think it was worth it. She said the only thing that works in her experience is caster oil but she doesn't recommend that!

Oh and sex
 
Kaiecee I hope you feel better. I know the end always seems so ick!

Darkstar I hope you can get him to turn.

Brieri I didn't realize your baby was still breech. I hope you can get her to turn as well. I'm surprised they let you go all the way to your due date with her breech. I thought they did c-sections before the due date to deliver.

I have a question ladies: My ribs are killing me. Breathing, moving, everything just hurts something awful. Should I call my OB and let them know what is going on? I can't until Monday obviously but I just wonder if it's something they need to know about. I also thought about going into the ER just to have them look at me because the pain is so bad. I know there isn't anything they can do even if they were broken but I didn't know if this might affect the baby or delivery?? Thoughts....
 
I tried EPO (both ways) 3 times last week and I do think it works. I actually put some in and drank some yesterday, I'll do it tonight as well. My cervix wasn't as soft, this was a week ago and Dr. was pleasantly surprised yesterday. He also said that my exercise ball made baby lower a whole bunch, since he was completely posterior a week ago too.

She's not breech, she's head down and her head is engaged, but her back is to my back which causes back labor. Back labor is a lot more intense and painful than regular labor.
 
I just stimulated my nipples with my breast pump for an hour and half. I got some pretty intense contractions out of it, but I'm pretty sure now that I've stopped they will stop too.

Oh gotcha! Sorry. My doctor never checked for any of that. I have no clue what position she is in except that they said her head was down. lol! I feel like my doctor wasn't concerned in the least about anything at all other than yep you are still breathing and pregnant. :haha:
 
Melly: I don't think you will last until your induction. :hugs: And... you will get your VBAC, you've come so far.

Brier: I was hoping to come on here and see your jellybeans pic. :hugs:

Ladies, I hope your babies all get here soon. :hugs:
 
Ok, I need breastfeeding advice. So, I wanna try and stock up on some stored milk for times that I'm not able to breastfeed due to being out or like last night I was so sick so kevin wanted to feed blake and let me sleep. When is the best time to pump?? I feed blake every 3 hours and I feed ten mins on each side. I tried pumping after I fed him but it took me a while and only filled half a bottle... Should I feed him 20 mins on one side and pump the other side? Should I pump in between the 3 hour break?? I'm so confused!

I tried to post a comment on FB about this but it wouldn't let me for some reason...are you engorged at any time during the day? I am in the morning so after Katie feeds (usually around 8-10) I pump both sides for about 7 minutes and I usually get about 6 oz total. I've been doing that since my milk came in. If you pump the same time every day hopefully your body will produce more in response. Hope it helps.

Thanks, I feel like it isn't going to happen. I stimulated my nipples with my breast pump tonight for an hour and a half, which is supposed to send you into labor if your body is ready. It didn't work. Its discouraging.
 
Thanks els! I'm gonna have to pay attention to when I'm engorged. I think the morning
 
I read somewhere that for most women it's the morning. Bc milk production is higher at night.
 
i had my maternity pics today............just thought id share....was very excited with them!

Finished baby's room now gonna start on the living room and tomorrow I'm gonna set up my bedroom with all the baby's stuff that ill need :) I feel like I need to get these things done in the next 2 days for some reason ill be posting pics of Riley's room on fb since its easier :)
 
brieri - I would say going on all fours is probably the best option..... The gravity will help move them...
Just get on ur knees/ elbows chest nearly on the floor and rock/ sway side to side and front/ back.... I've heard this work for a few ppl I know in moving baby from a bad position. Hope it works for u!!!

I'm so torn, I'm enjoying LO just being in me BUT so uncomfortable that I'm ready to evict him.... Doc wants to do a sweep, but I asked to delay until full term (next week)
I don't want him out for my convenience, he should come when he's ready or fully baked.
I have managed to get a bit more sleep than usual by sleeping on the couch - for some reason it's better than the bed right now, so I sleep a few hours on each a night...

Coming down to crunch time for lots of us... Cannot wait to see all the new babies coming soon!!!!! :D
