Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[Sbmack]

I hope everything is going well, SisterRose!

Broody, sounds like you have a nice day planned...perhaps that will get things going. I got a pedi yesterday and I swear the vibrations from the massage chair caused major BH.

Grin, I hope things are moving along for you!

So after having a shitty night my water broke at 5:20 this morning and plug followed. These contractions suck! I've only dilated 1 cmm

Congrats sister rose!
Good luck murmers!

Aww congratulations SR!!! So dinky! I hope you're both recovering well!!

I hope you're having more progress Murmers.

I ended up in hospital with painful, regular contractions last night.
My BP was abit high and babys heart rate was fast so we were monitored for a while - both settled down after 45 mins or so. Only a fingertip dilated.
Contractions trailed off though and became irregular. Got the all clear and went home.

Really really struggling with SPD today though - my pelvis and hips just can't support my weight (I'm not even that big! 8 stone at my booking appointment!) My pelvic pain is horrendous! I can't walk, stairs are murder and getting in to and rolling over / getting out of bed almost has me in tears!

Got another sweep on Thurs and induction on Monday if he's a no show - I don't think my pelvis can take this for another 5/6 days!

This just in labor sucks, epidurals do not.

Congrats sis rose. Good luck murmers. Sending you lots of hugs Low. It sounds like you are having such a hard time. Will they not induce you a bit sooner? Why bother trying another sweep when you are in so much pain?

My daughter was delivered by emergency section so this birth is hopefully a VBAC so they like to give you full 12 days to go over and possibly into labour naturally before medically inducing cause of the increased risk of uterine rupture.

DH is going to help me get a hot bath when he gets home from work and if it's not helped I'm going to call my GP in the morning and see if I can get a codeine prescription. I don't want to take it really but I can't carry on like this till Monday!

Ah I see. Codeine will be fine at this stage. I've eaten goats cheese and runny eggs since I turned 40 weeks (partly hoping it will get him to come out!). The only thing I've not had and really wanted is alcohol but that's only because I heard it can slow down contractions and I don't want to delay things further! I'm sure anything you eat, drink or take at this point should be fine (within reason!).

*grumble grumble grumble*

Everything stopped last night around 11-12.

Good luck, laboring ladies.

Good luck to those in labor!

Congratulations sis rose! Lovely name, can't wait to see pictures.

Good luck murmers.

Low I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. I really hope you feel better soon.

 

[Junebugs]

Good luck to all those in labour!!

I just have a question... what is the average heart rate for you LO when you go in to get checked by your ob/midwife?

 

[girlnboots]

Mine was 151 every time for a long time. I think as you get closer, it slows, as now its 120-140.

 

[Girly922]

My LOs heart rate was always around the 135-145, last appt was slightly lower I think. Will see what it is when I see the MW tomorrow. Really hope she gives me some good news. So uncomfortable now, just want this baby out.

 

[broodymrs]

Normally 144 but a couple of times it has been faster, about 170. That is when they have to wait for it to slow

 

[Hotbump]

Streven's was 148 the last couple of weeks before he was born.
