Seaweed when's ur baby coming?? My friends waters broke yesterday but she got sent home from the hospital so it's a waiting game she's only 3cm dilated. X
You tell me hon just found out our doula may be busy at another client's induction starting tomorrow so maybe Munchkin will take the opportunity to be inconvenient!
I forgot that our doctor is going to be out of town starting tomorrow too! It's a perfect storm! Come on baby
Currently scheduled for an induction on Mon, 9/24. However, I think I am going to reschedule for Tues, 9/25. The doctor wants to start with Pitocin on Mon, and then if that doesn't work then try Cervidil on Tues before more Pitocin. Given the state of my cervix (which hasn't changed) I would much rather start with Cervidil. I asked during the appointment and he said he thought it would be better to try Mon in case that's all it takes, but I talked to the doula afterward and she affirmed my feeling that that's probably not the right way to go. It will be the first time I have gone against the doctor's recommendation in any way so it's a little intimidating, but I really feel it would be better to wait.
Have an u/s this afternoon to check fluid, then no more appointments (!)...I may try to schedule an extra NST Fri or Mon when I call about getting the induction postponed.
UPDATE: Cervidil will be started on Sunday evening. Leinz, you can go ahead and put it on the front page! I'm guessing if we get that far his birthday will actually be Tues, the 25th...
Have you tried hitting the accupressure spots to kickstart your uterus? My massage therapist hit my shoulders and achilles heel during my last session before DD was born and I could FEEL my uterus contracting!
S: I'm thinking he'll be here Sunday or Monday depending on what time on Sunday they insert cervadil. I had cervadil inserted on Sunday evening around 5pm and DD arrived on Monday Morning 11:44am. There was no need for pitocin to ever be started.
Yay, Munchkin is coming! And you never know he may make his appearance anytime. Cervix changes can happen fast and I had no changes prior to cervadil.
Ooh, that's encouraging that your cervix had not changed before they started the Cervidil! I knew you had never had Pitocin but assumed you were already dilated before. I hope my labor is just like yours! I know you didn't have an epidural, too. We'll be starting 7PM on Sun.
MightyMom, I had those spots stimulated with needles last week and it caused only weak contractions on the table...I've tried at home to rub the spot in my hand and sometimes it gets non-painful contractions going, but clearly it hasn't been enough to even cause progress much less get anything started. I'll keep trying...might as well!
My mom was clearly hoping baby would come this week so she called me and asked if I could move the induction to Friday. She is so silly!
Thanks Leinz. I pray it is that easier for us to fall pregnant again. This last time around it was pretty easy. Just gotta get this one to stick better.
UGH power just came back on an hour ago, after being out for 36 hours. Literally had to throw out everything in the fridge/freezer. off to the grocery store to restock on everything, lord knows that will cost a fortune.
Seaweed: So tell me the massage worked and you are in labor! Hahaha... I swear it worked for me!
Ladies! Hope everyone is well today.
Just taking this week as it comes, so far so good, MS behaving nicely
Also, still a bit worried about my "lack" of bump and also movements... I cannot wait for my U/S next week....
Leinz: It was rescheduled to Sept. 25 due to conflict with work
nessah you're still early for a huge bump or lots of movements. Many women don't feel them until later depending on placenta position. I'm sure your doc will be able to reassure you.
seaweed every hour that passes, the closer you get to meet your baby boy.
