Leinzlove's Bump Friends (14 Blue, 12 Pink, 8 Angels) 25 BORN!!

[MightyMom]

snow: I got mine exactly 4 weeks later. My body is like a well oiled machine, never misses a cycle. I was disappointed, I hoped to avoid the Flo for as long as I was BFing!!

Hi ladies. I had my membranes stripped this morning. I was already 2cm dilated/80% effaced, so I'm hoping it's effective. Fx'd please! Best case scenario would be I deliver between 7pm tonight and 7am tomorrow as it's my OB on call at the hospital tonight!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you it happens tonight!!!

Snow- Glad to hear you are well!

 

[Longing2bAMum]

Noooo mightymom, I was just thinking how nice 9 more months AF free would be after the baby, now you've shattered my illusion

 

[Leinzlove]

Torres: I hope this is the night! How exciting! I've never had my membranes stripped. DH's best friend's wife is being induced in the morning.

Snow: How nice to hear from you! Have fun visiting family and enjoy your new nephew!

 

[Torres]

I'm getting tons of shooting pains into my cervix and I'm starting to lose bits of my mucus plug. No painful/regular contractions though.
I'm getting really nervous.

 

[Leinzlove]

Torres: Everythings going to be great! Try not to be to nervous! It's exciting! You'll be holding your baby girl real Soooon! keeping you in my thoughts!

 

[MightyMom]

Oh Torres it sounds like you're starting!! Very exciting! Don't be scared, it is over before you even know it!

 

[happyface82]

How exciting Torres!!! Looking forward to more updates!!!

 

[Torres]

Still pregnant and no sign of active labour yet. I have my weekly triage appt today, so we'll ser how that goes. I wonder if they will check me if I ask.
I got a decent nights sleep, so I plan on being very active today to try and bring on labour. Fx'd.
I'll keep you all posted for sure.
Hope you are all well!
I think it's time for updates from everyone btw. This thread have been a little quiet and I don't really know what's going on with most of you!

 

[Longing2bAMum]

I was just coming in to say how exciting it was that you were maybe in labour now Torres, and now you're not Won't be long though

 

[Torres]

Back from hospital appt. Still no sign of labour. I'm losing a lot of plug (how big is that damn thing?! Haha) but no regular, painful contractions.
Went to the mall after the hospital and walked around for a couple of hours - and nothing. So I gave up, bought a large bag of gourmet popcorn for my daughter and I, and now wr're going to watch a movie. After the movie I'll probably bring her to the park and walk around some more. Man, this is worse than the TWW! *sigh*

 

[happyface82]

Good luck with your appointment Torres! Hope things happen soon for you!

I'm good. got my midwife appointment and last growth scan next Friday - I'll be 36 weeks. Have had constant braxton hicks since last night though, hope its nothing!

 

[lch28]

everyone is so close. i cant wait

im so happy today. OH got a new job making twice as much, which means i dont have to go back to work in 5 weeks like planned i get to be a sahm! i was so upset about leaving jonathan for 8 hours a day

 

[happyface82]

Oh Ich this is such great news!!!!!

 

[lch28]

thanks! I could just cry! I had no idea he was even looking for a new job. The other day my mom mentioned when i was going back to work and i began to cry and apparently he went that day and applied for a better position at his work!

 

[Torres]

ICh - fantastic news! I'm glad things are good with OH, sounds like he really stepped up to the plate when Jonathan was born.

Happy - how are your bh? Are the painful or just tightenings?

 

[happyface82]

No pain, no. Uncomfortable at times but definitely not painful. It only made me worry cause its so msny of them and a) K wss early and b) the whole first part of my labour with K was just like that. The monitor was showing strong contractions but it felt like now. I will have a laxy day tomorrow and see if it helps a bit!

 

[Torres]

Relax and drink loads and loads of water. If you're worried call the labour ward and see what they say. Always better to be safe than sorry.

 

[happyface82]

Torres- I missed your update earlier. I hope all the walking does the trick!!!

i'm feeling a bit better. We had to go to Kent so we spend the day being quite busy and lots of driving and I had bh all the time.. They just wouldn't stop. But once I came home and slept for an hour they calmed down a lot. So not too worried any more!

 

[Torres]

Happy - glad that they have calmed down. Maybe you're a bit dehydrated? Or maybe you have an irritable uterus.
