[AJThomas]

wahoo its heating up in here! Soooo excited for you Deedee, cant wait to see Matthew!

Melly, so sorry to hear about your friend, hugs to you.

I only wish we were all closer together so our beans would have company growing up but at least we'll keep each other company via fb and bnb.

Hi ladies,
Just got back from my dr. Had my first internal. My due date is in 6 days but when he checked I was 3cm and he did a sweep too. Now I knew this had to happen but I am freaking out!!! I've been so excited and now the time is almost here I am a mess.
Good luck to all the mums in labour and those being induced.

So in the last day or so, a few new things.... Yesterday afternoon started getting contractions but at 15 min incriments and for about 30-40 seconds.... This continued into the night but never progressing to "active labour - every 10 mins" They seemed to disappear by the morning. Went out shopping with my mom and started getting them again but still been 15ish minutes apart..... Feels like I'll be pregnant forever. It's so much easier if water/ waters break - then u know the end is near!

Tomorrow is D Day, so we will see! Worst case Friday doc wants to do a sweep.

So sorry to hear Melly That has been one of my fears, losing someone before the baby arrives.....

To all the other ladies who are getting much closer - hope it starts raining babies hard around here

Had my midwife appointment today. I was still only a centimeter dilated and barely effaced at all with my cervix facing my spine. Nothing to suggest anything is happening at all. My midwives want me to try to naturally induce labor at home tomorrow. They have me rubbing clary sage oil on my stomach every half an hour, taking 4 pellets of caulophyllum and cimicifuga every half an hour, and 2 oz of castor oil mixed with 2 oz of root beer just once for the whole day. She wants me to do the other things the whole day or until I get into active labor. I'll keep you ladies updated, maybe I'll be going into labor tomorrow.

Jan 28th I'll be 42 weeks and that will be my limit. My midwife will feel my wrath if she makes me go that far. I know she doesn't like inductions unless there is a medical reason for it.

That's awesome news, I hope that the sweep is successful. That's the downside to them not doing internals here, no chance of an earlier sweep

Sigh, just got my bubble bursted a little. Hubby decided we should call MIL to let her know that we were to be induced friday. The first thing she said was: "So, this is what you decided to do?..." I cut her cold and told her that that was what was going to happen, and that we were being positive about the whole situation, and that we would appreciate her not telling anybody because we didn't want to deal with questions or comments. Seems like she got the hint, but did tell me she was going to call me tomorrow to talk about it... late in the afternoon because she knew how I loved my naps. GRRRR!!!!!! Hubby is trying to pretend like nothing is happening... that it doesn't matter what she is going to say, but she is heading over here friday and staying for God knows how long...at our apartment. I feel like my heart is about to break when I think about my first days with my baby having to defend my ways of seeing things and how I'm not doing it their way.

For crying out loud it's just an induction! I can only imagine how big of a deal a c section would be! She would probably make a scene at the hospital!!!! When I told my mom she was glad to just know she was going to see my little bundle soon!

Sorry for the rant... hormones and having such a drastic shift of my mood made me all blah...

Oh that sounds horrible!! My mil and fil have said a few things already and i want to strangle them lol...love them dearly but i always stand my ground...

First thing was...well ryan was allergic to pampers u need to buy huggies ( uhmmm no, ellas not ryan, and ellas fine with pampers)

2. U shuld use the nuk binkies, thats what ryan liked..... Well no, ella loves the gumdrop ones given to her so well stick with that ( i turned my back, she pulled a nuk out and shoved it in ellas mouth, needless to say, ella spit it right out lol )

3. Fil said to not wake the baby if shes sleeping to feed her..f shes hungry shell wake on her own! ( this may e true if ella didnt have jaundice) but the hospital and our pediatrician said the only way shes going to get rid of the jaundice is if she feeds every 3-4 hrs...and that shes sleeping a lot bc of the jaundice, we have to wake her no matter what! ) i got so tired of trying to explain it to him that i just said, well shes getting fed every 3-4 hrs, the end!

I can see how this is going. No fun!


I would have done the induction too... Dont be upset about what she says!

I'm sorry you've had to stand ground when it is your decision after all, not theirs. I'm really really trying to think in all the positive things I've had with her to not let it all get ruined and me get in a bitchy mood, I'm worried I'll say something I don't want to. But man, I've had to take her comments all through this already. I guess a week more wont kill me lol. Just need to tough it up and look forward for when my mommy gets here hahahaha.

 

[JCh]

Wow Nikki/ Deedee - what is up with MILs!!!!
That's horrible, I can only imagine what mine will be like once baby is here. It's all a competition with my mom but hope she doesn't try and control more.....

They need to learn to back off and stop trying to control (seems to be their main issue....)

 

[Kaiecee]

Out from drs. Haha, after he checked me he said "lets get this party started" and went to talk to nurse. I'm et to go in tomorrow at 8 pm!!!!!! Being induced Friday early in the morning.

Ooh we will be being induced at the same time !!!!!

I'm overly excited!

We might all be sharing a baby's birthday Friday

 

[Kaiecee]

I still have this awful cough & it's been nearly a month now. It improved a bit & my muscles recovered & it's not too painful anymore, but my breathing/the cough is deteriorating again. Starting to worry that I might actually have whooping cough (as my Dr wouldn't vaccinate me with me being unwell so I won't be immune). Anyone have any thoughts. I can't get to a Dr until Monday

I'm not sure what I have but ill be vaccinated for that once baby is born they said I need it and I really hope it's not an pneumonia that I have ill get checked Friday when ill have my cesarian I know it's not comfortable so ill get check as soon as u feel line it's too much and a month is a lot

Deedee and nikki

I think in laws are there to test us and we just have to stand our ground if not they will continue

Mil told me to make a bed downstairs so dh can get a good night sleep lol r u crazy the last time I checked he helped make this baby and he will do just as much which he agrees plus he probably wouldn't be able to sleep without me I couldn't believe her then she changes it and says we ur getting a cesarian u will be too sore to move a lot it's my 3rd I know how it hurts and I know my limits but there is no way in hell I'm sleepin in the spare room or couch forget that

 

[Kaiecee]

I've now got a bad cold hope its not an pneumonia ill get checked Friday when ill have Riley can't wait

 

[Lillian33]

Aarrgghh sorry about the annoying inlaws ladies, I can't imagine how frustrating that must be. Mine are very quiet & I sometimes wish they would contribute a bit, but then I read these types of stories & I take that back ha ha!!!

 

[mellywelly]

Blossom, whooping cough has a distinctive sound, I think it's unlikely to be that. I've still got a sore throat after having the bug, it's about 5-6 weeks now, this bug takes some shifting!

 

[BlossomJ]

I've now got a bad cold hope its not an pneumonia ill get checked Friday when ill have Riley can't wait

Yuck, I've woken up all full of a bad cold too, so I guess the cough was just sticking around because I'm moving from one illness to another, to another, rather than anything else.

Hope yours passes quickly

Deedee - What's wrong with an induction?!!!! Your MIL sounds like a total nightmare! Can't believe she would be imposing her views & increasing your stress levels right before labour. Make sure DH backs you up & tells her to stay quiet on the subject

Nikki - Your MIL sounds fun too Though the rocking horse for Ella was such a sweet gift that I'm inclined to go a bit easier on her Still don't envy you!
