June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[pinkwaters]

Haha it is such a waiting game, I want to meet the little man so bad! Just watched the finale of greys anatomy and meridith grey gave birth, I was one weeping mess!!

My doctor is a guy, but a a lady did my pelvic exam today and unfortunately she was gentle ;D haha It was quite uncomfortable but tolerable

Come on babies, come on waters break break!! haha

 

[pinkwaters]

Baby has pushed the limits and I booked my c section for Saturday the 25th!
Measuring at 42 weeks and 4.6kg today

 

[No Doubt]

Still hoping for him to come naturally on his own, but at least the cs is scheduled. One way or another you'll be a mommy next Saturday!

 

[pinkwaters]

Exactly! I've just come around to accepting it all
Can't wait for full term and risk a 5-6kg delivery
My brother in law is a doctor n he said he would've scheduled one sooner but I'm happy with Saturday

6 days away!!

 

[pinkwaters]

I didn't like being pushed towards an epidural though, I'm going to choose a spinal tap its simpler and does the job and I'd be awake to hold him straight away

 

[No Doubt]

Morning ladies. I'm up...and still pregnant, lol. 38 weeks today and still trying to will this labor into existence. Come on Virtue. Hopefully this week is it. I spent a good bit of yesterday telling Virtue it was ok to come out and that it was time. I think he's completely run out of room. He's not moving as much or as hard as he used to. Hopefully that's good too and it means he'll be on his way. I keep checking him on the Doppler to be sure though, just in case.

 

[pinkwaters]

I think it must be normal for movements to decrease by now, I was watching on the ultra sound how squishy he was poor thing!
Haha keep talking to him it could work!

 

[No Doubt]

I know...I felt so bad when we saw him last week. He was so squished. I keep thinking, why stay in there...come out where you can stretch, lol. Reverse psychology does not work on babies, especially when they're in the womb still, lol.

 

[AsEn11]

I am happy to see other people talk to there babies telling them when hey can arrive haha
And OMG Pink you will be a mommy so soon!! I hope he will come naturally but either way as long as he is healthy thats all that matters

 

[pinkwaters]

Yes Ashley! That's how I'm looking at it now! Waiting for Saturday ah what a challenge! Can't wait for you all to get there too!

Haha no doubt I keep telling my dh he took after him, looks like he's enjoying the snuggle unlike me I need my space and stretch ;D
Ah well, babies will do what they want after all , one can only try ;D

 

[No Doubt]

OMG...totally forgot to mention that I FINALLY had a pedicure and it was the best thing ever. Having that scrub put on my feet and legs then the massage and hot towel. And when this place does the massage they use hot stones! To die for...it was lovely. I want one every week, lol.

 

[pinkwaters]

Haha glad you enjoyed that!! I booked one for Friday! I just love them!
A beautiful treat to end this journey!
I hope I manage to sleep some ;P can't get baby H out of my mind!

 

[27yrsTTC]

Newest update for me. I went to my regular appt today and he did a check for me. He said he didn't feel much of cervix there. He said 50-60% effaced at this point which is up from 40% just a few days ago. So I'm hoping this means things are going to progress quickly. Definitely going walking tomorrow morning and Sunday morning before it gets hot and gonna continue on the ball and with bd as often as I can. He said I'm still not dialated any but is hoping the dilation begins soon. Come on Virtue...mama is so ready!

No doubt- my 36 wk checkup she did the internal exam and I was 50% effaced, not dilated at all. Doc says she doesn't so another internal until due date unless there's a reason to (contractions or broken water).

Our hospital does walking epidurals (and has for about 15 years!). I'm really hoping the timing works out so I can have one. Also nitrous oxide (laughing gas). The one thing I learned was that IM injections of Demerol or morphine will drug baby too, and if they're given too close to delivery baby will need an antidote (narcan). So I think I will try and avoid the IM injections.

Getting very very anxious. I think I will miss my belly, even though I'm getting unbelievably uncomfortable. It's the fear of the unknown, I think- my brain still can't QUITE wrap around what labour and delivery will be like. There are some upsides to a c section, pink! My brain GETS surgery! And you know when it will happen. And how. Lol

Just hoping everything goes as well as can be expected.

 

[No Doubt]

A walking epidural would be ideal if I wasn't terrified of needles, lol. I'm still gonna try natural, but if need be I will try the gas. I was gonna stay away from the injections to for the same reason. I'm gonna labor at home as much as possible so that when I get to the hospital if I break down and want the epi it will be too late, lol. Truly, I don't think I could the epi anyway as I would just be too afraid of a needle in my spine. I think I'd say yes then freak when it was time and chicken out, lol. I'm a wuss, lol, but tattoos and piercings...no problem, lol.

 

[pinkwaters]

27 that's how I'm convincing myself that it's okay, knowing the date and more of what I expect helps! I still count the seconds now that it's literally 3 days away!

I hope everything works out for the best for everyone whichever way things go!
You ladies are two Weeks away that's so exciting!

 

[No Doubt]

My appt went fine...same as usual. No internal check today which is fine. I've been having a lot of pressure and cramps today though so who knows. Honestly its so hot right now all I want to do is relax and not move. And the tv in the office was on the fritz and they were backed up so I had to sit there for 45 mins watching the history channel and how Nostradamus predicted the end of the world and we're on the brink as almost all of his predictions have come true so I need to go get and underground bunker. Yeah...I'll get right on that.

 

[No Doubt]

The other girl at my job that was due 3 days after me had her baby early this morning. She went 2.5 weeks early with her first as well so I expected this. I guessed she would go yesterday, so I was close. I've been one day off with her and the other girl that went last month. I guessed Monday for myself, so we'll see what happens. People said I would probably be late though just cause I want him here so bad, lol. I told Virtue not to listen to those people, lol.

 

[AsEn11]

So I had a massage yesterday and it wasnt that pleasant she had a pillow for my prego belly but i couldnt get comftorable I almost passed out then thought I was going to puke so I had to go on my side then flip when the time is right.
I was really looking forward to it and being able to relax for an hour but I couldnt relax plus the lady loved to talk haha oh well I tried I will however go again when I get closer to my due date for her to rub on my pressure points and use her special oil

 

[pinkwaters]

Haha good on you no doubt for making sure baby virtue wasn't listening to them, what do they know!!
Ashley get hubs to rub some oil on your baq to make up for it, I found that more relaxing than a professional massage

My doctor left on emergency leave!! Just my luck! Luckily his replacement is free to do my c sect on Saturday and ill go meet him tomorrow, hope he's nice! Feels like I've seen a million doctors through this pregnancy?! Saturday just couldn't come sooner

 

[No Doubt]

Sorry your experience wasn't that great Ashley. I agree, have hubbs run you down. I had mine rub body butter all over my body one night and it was so perfect to just lay there and not have to do it myself. Putting on lotion is such a chore these days, so that was like heaven.

Pink, you really have been through a good amount of doctors. I just love having millions of people looking up my who-ha and jamming their fingers up there, lol. But you're almost there. Sucks that your doctor had to leave, but I hope you like the new one.
