Scan went well, baby is head down. Took hours waiting around but at least it was good news :thumbup:
 
starzz - the sweep can be (and usually is) very painful. Everyone I've spoken to that had it said it was awful. Plus, it might break your water and if your body isn't ready, it will send you down the induction path. So just some things to consider! Have you kicked of natural induction :sex:?? DH and I DTD at 37 weeks and then again last night and I had a LOT of contractions this morning!


AFM, as I've mentioned above, I had a ton of contractions this morning. Quite painful and quite frequent. They ranged from 2-5 minutes apart and lasted about 30-60 seconds. Saw my doc for my usual NST appointment and since they weren't regular enough, he sent me home. He offered to do a cervix test but I declined. Those are just so uncomfortable and well the information wouldn't really help anything along! Unfortunately, they tapered off around 3pm so I guess that was a false start :shrug: But I guess exciting that there's any action going on none the less! :happydance:

There are more details about the last 24 hours in my journal as I'm too tired and uncomfortable to write more...going to go lie down for a bit. Hope everyone is well!
:hug:
 
so discouraged.

Went to my appointment today, I wasn't checked for dilation. I was told from where she was able to pick up the heartbeat that baby is still high up, head down but high up and she proceeds to tell me "Guess i'll see you next week since nothing is going on down there" Those words hurt. I am so over this pregnancy and the longer I'm pregnant the further back I have to push back my Gal Bladder removal surgery which is another issue I need over and done with ASAP.
 
iPretti :hugs: Your MW sounds like a big meanie! The location of the heartbeat can be misleading...my doc told me this story about a mom that insisted her baby had flipped the day before her scheduled csection. Based on HB location, he thought the baby was still breech and almost pushed for a csection but decided to humor the mom and she was right!!! So that's crap. Plus, your baby can drop at any moment so it's wrong of her to say 'see u next week' and that 'nothing is happening'. Makes me mad!
:hug:
 
Thanks MrsChezek

I truly needed to read that.. This isn't my first child but this pregnancy is totally different than my first. My first was uneventful, this one I'm still low risk but my body hurts and with the gall stones I'm on a stupid diet and still having these gall stone attacks which hurts more now because baby is so big that she is also aggravating the area. Needless to say after my appointment I was really hurt especially since last night my pelvic area felt so heavy and I was getting a dull ache on my lower left back. So it was discouraging for her to say that too me.

So yes thanks again for your response, it made me smile =)
 
I went to the doc today and she did a cervix check. I got nothing! Sad :( But I was rather nervous hearing all this about how it hurts so much! But must be quite different depending on the person because it was just mildly uncomfortable for me. I'm game for this so I know what's going on!
 
hey Athena, getting your cervix checked isn't so bad it's having a sweep that's painful.
 
I hear a lot of women say if they haven't dilated at all it's pretty painful for them! I was pleasantly surprised ;)
 
wow, I remember my first pregnancy it did hurt but it wasn't necessarily painful and even now when I had my last check at 37 weeks it didn't hurt it was just uncomfortable, but I guess everyone is different.
 
I'd rather not have one, I'm all for it will happen eventually. They threatened me with one last time as I went over but the day before it was due my contractions started :haha:
 
am trying to keep up with all your post am reading them all but dont always get time to comment!
its exhausting havin 2 kiddies under 2!!!

hope your all well. x
 
Thank you amyb - getting my toddler to sit still long enough to have her pic taken with her brother is hard work but ive managed to get 1!
 
So now when people ask when I'm due the answer is Friday (yep starzz same due date!). That sounds strange to me. Not a week Friday or a few weeks but simply Friday.

Anna - that photo is lovely!
 
Must be so exciting only having a week left!! I hope the next three weeks flies by for me... Just want to meet our boy!!
 
Its so exciting that everyone is getting close!! I'm curious how many of you had your bumps reay grow in the last few weeks? I still not feel all that big.. I'm measuring on schedule as of my last appt but I still feel small.. A lot of people can't believe I'm due in a few weeks
 
Hi ladies!
Induced on Wednesday and about to have waters broken finally!!!
Eeekkkk
