When/if I have it im totally gonna show my husband. Hes gonna freak! That will just be the beginning hahahahahaha
 
ptr: I was having bloody mucous, but it has stopped and mine was a lot lighter than yours. I think that mine was a false alarm as it's already been over 48 hours since mine started but yours looks like the real deal. FXed that you'll go into labor soon! :happydance:

Maze: Glad that the c-section went well and that everyone is home and doing good. I hope that little Oliver's levels are doing okay and that his poor little heels will get a break soon. He's so adorable! :hugs:

Honestly I'm a little disappointed. Today was my father's 46th birthday, so I was a little hopeful that I would give birth today. I suppose he'll get here when he's meant to get here though. Anticipating his arrival is getting seriously emotional! :wacko:
 
:haha: I told my dh and I've never seen him do dishes, take the garbage out and our bags in my SUV so fast!!! :dohh: I told him to relax as I don't have any other symptoms! Just the globs... I don't think I will go in labor soon, I think it was just from the cervix check.

Now my dh is asking me every 5 mins, "are you sure we aren't going to go to the hospital? Are you sure you're not in labor?" Yeaaaaaaa..... Lol
 
LOL... that is sooo cute!!!! I dont know... i bet you will got into labour either Saturday or Sunday ;).. that has to much blood in it , its def. a bloody show :) .. but i guess we will just have to wait and see !
 
Haha! That's a great way to get him to do some chores! :haha:
 
How exciting ptr!

Maze I'm glad you're both doing well and Oliver is adorable!
 
I definitely agree with JB that its your show but don't know what it means in labour terms.
 
It's definitely a waiting game!!

It's my Dad's birthday next Friday and I am having my sweep Thursday so I keep thinking surely that has to be the day. What do you bet it isn't! I hate this waiting!! Really bad BH again last night, got DH to give me a back massage and rub my ankles as apparently that can trigger something with clary sage oil. But nope nothing. I also didn't use EPO as I was planning to as I'm a scardey cat! I think I might ask my SIL about it as she's a midwife but she's at a wedding today so that'll be tonight out too. I just want to do everything I can to make this sweep work next week, but obviously without doing anything to hurt the baby.
 
Definitely looks promising ptr!! Fingers crossed you won't have too long to wait.

I'm so ready to be done now. Yet I still haven't gotten around to packing my hospital bag yet. I hate the idea that I could have another 6 weeks yet, it feels like forever away! Lol.
 
you could have the baby in 2 weeks (when you're 38 weeks) girly!!! so i would def get that bag packed!!! I am glad I got my bags packed early, especially after seeing the bloody show! definitely made for less stress and panic :haha:

I'm still wiping streaks of tinged cm but havent had any more of bloody globs. I am thinking maybe it was just a teaser. :grr: I still don't have any other symptoms.. no backache, contractions, cramping, etc. :shrug: I am still going to go out of town like planned and just do my own thing this weekend!
 
I hope that Dylan cooperates with the sweep and that he does make his grand entrance on Friday! It's totally possible, you'll be 39 weeks at that point (39 to 41 weeks is the most common time period to go into labor). :hugs:

It hasn't been that long since the bloody mucous, ptr, I wouldn't rule it out as simply a tease just yet. :winkwink:

I was going to get induced on the 19th if I didn't give birth by then, but now I'm thinking that I'll do it on the 12th instead. I don't want to risk going overdue as there can be a lot of complications and the risk of needing a c-section goes up a lot. It's so crazy to think that he could be here in a maximum of 3 weeks and 1 day. It's hard to believe that I only have 17 days until my due date. Soon everyone will either be full term, on or past their due date, or already given birth.
 
So on the 12th you will be how many weeks+days? I was induced 39w4d and it went picture perfect... but what sealed my decision was my cervix... I only went in because I had favorable cervix (2 cm dilated, 80% effaced and cervix very soft) and i never needed cervidial or anything to ripen my cervix.
 
Sounds like a good plan ptr. If you carry on with your usual plans then surely baby will want to arrive in the middle of it all and disrupt everything?!!
 
ptr- I had no signs at all, just the bloody show... not one twinge or pain. Then 3 days later BAM out of the blue I got a STRONG contraction that was no second guessing, I knew I was going into labour. :) so dint count yourself out!

Kalon- I think there is always complications and risk of having a c-section, even with getting induced early :) .. it can be completely normal to go a week overdue.. the baby may just feel like it needs a little more time to bake :) . I totally understand what you mean thou.. but just know there are risk either way.

Very true :)
 
that's my exact thinking broody... i dont really want to drop my plans just to sit at home and obsess. that's just not my style i guess. i rather just put it out of my mind and do as normal (because what if doing normal things is *what* was triggering the mucus plug loss in the first place ya know?). i hope you are getting labor symptoms too! I know it's hard to sit and watch others have symptoms and you don't have any. :hugs:
 
I do think the 19th is a bit late thou for an induction... u am sure you will go before that lol
 
^^^ yep wss... 19th is super late for an induction, isnt that 42 1/2 weeks? pretty sure you will go earlier than that!

edited: ah, so you will be 41w5d on the 19th... hm yeah, pretty sure you will go before that!!!!!
 
Can anyone help me make sense of this? As I always ramble on about Ellie didn't engage or drop until I was in active labour so no idea what to expect. Last Sunday a midwife had a feel down there and said she thinks that the baby is engaged. I think she meant fully as she said she couldnt feel the head to move side to side at all and it wasn't palpable.

This last couple of days I've had fewer movements, they're there but definitely different and slower. Now I'm starting to get pressure down there as if it's on my bladder, like every now and then I feel like my bladder is going to burst! then I've felt a few of what feel like teeny kicks or punches down around my pelvis area/bladder area and I'm now wondering if this is all signs baby is actually engaged or if she's actually turned breech(heaven forbid!) I keep getting like a "niggle" pain down there inside the vagina area every now and then too. I don't feel the "bowling ball" sensation when I walk or anything though. What do you think?

I know they say it doesn't mean anything to engage so early but I just feel like my waters are going to break from all the pressure some times! but like I said, it's not a constant pressure it's like every now and then she'll push down or my bladder will feel like it's going to explode. Today I've had lots more pressure though, and more of the "movements" down there. Oh...also over the last day or two I get a pain similar to round ligament pain right above my pelvic area where my stomach is when I move to sit up or down and it also kills me when I sneeze or cough.

Right now I can feel like a little stabbing/shooting pain up there where I guess I think my cervix may be? it kind of feels like little claws scratching or kind of a tap pain

And omfg, I just felt something down there like a little pop or movement, like something is in there(the vagina, not uterus) coming away :-s *creeped out* lmao anyone would think i wasnt pregnant.
