Shell, are you finding the clarey sage doing anything???

If your at all not happy pop down to be checked, the stress of worrying wont do either of you any good. But mine definately has longer more distinct quiet times and then specific moving times but it can be hours when I don't really feel any movements, but I can usually find a bit of him and feel a pulse or get a sleepy response or practice breathing things that tell me alls ok.
 
Hi Ladies,

Well, we've survived the initial days after Dad's passing with I think as much grace as was possible. Thank you to ALL who sent prayers and good thoughts our way, each one is appreciated! I definitely feel God is carrying me through all this, even if at times I feel like I'm barely surviving :) The funeral went well Sunday, my visiting aunt went home yesterday (it was great to see her and visit and talk about Dad) and now we are trying, as much as possible, to settle back into a bit of a routine for however many weeks we have left before baby arrives. We are 36+3 now, so hopefully it won't be long before our little guy appears! Hugs to each of you and I will catch up and post over the next few days.

:hugs:
 
shells- hope he gets to moving! it scares me too, but like cathryn said mine has hours where he doesnt. im supposed to go in for non-stress tests when he is not moving for a while, just dont know how long to wait. usually by the time i start to really worry, he goes nuts.

natty- thats just crap. i know just by having another one it must be hard to have constant "just in case" care set up for him. i hope you get in soon. and now your down a nights sleep thinking about whats to come and wondering if you will get in. hope you get some sleep tonight or your gonna be spent by the time you are able to go in and get started! maybe you can get a nap in today?

2ndtime- yay for full term!

tanikit- i hope you either go into labor real soon, or at least all these contractions are making good progress for your induction.

i have an appt for a check today and a non-stress test on baby. will be going over induction too. i slept all of 3-4 hours last night, i guess whatever gives us energy to nest wasnt done with me by bedtime.:growlmad:
 
angela- we must have been posting at the same time. im glad you are doing as good as could be expected. i will still be praying for you and your family. take some comfort that he is in good hands now and you will see him again one day! xoxo :hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
:blush:i have back ache yehh i thin hope it might be the start of somthing plus tmi alert my pants and trousers are wet hp i didnt just pee myself lol
 
Angela :hugs: think I missed your post about your Dad. Thinking of you and praying for your family.

Shell's like the others my baby also has busy and quiet times - if I am worried I will push her gently and she usually moves back - if it has been a long time then I will drink something sweet and very cold and she usually wakes up properly. I have got worried a few times but have always managed to get her going then.

Have found today very stressful. My mother and I have been fighting a lot - probably my hormones but also because if I mention anything about being anxious/nervous she says: And does worrying help? rather than being a bit more understanding. Some days I can deal with this, today I couldn't and have burst into tears a few times. Think I am more stressed than I realised and trying to remember that baby will be here soon so I stay excited too.

DH brought home a funny baby game on his phone and DD is having fun playing it so there are at least sounds of a laughing, crying, burping, drinking (though never sleeping) baby now - it will drive me nuts in time, but its cute now.

DH is cooking supper tonight then I must put DD down and then off to the hospital - will try to get someone to update for me, otherwise will write when I get back.

To all of you who are having a baby in the next few days good luck - will be thinking of you (tried writing everyone's name but kept forgetting one each time I tried so excuse me for not mentioning you all)
 
tanikit- sorry your having a rough time hun. with everything going on with you having contractions and getting prepared for being induced you have every right to be as emotional/hormonal as it takes to get through all of it. my heart goes out to you. its not easy to be in pain and on top of that have so much else to think about. hang in there hun, will be over soon!:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Best of luck tanikit for tonight! Xx

Angela sorry about your dad xx
 
Natty - that really sucks! I hope tomorrow goes quickly and smoothly for you!

Angela - :hugs:

2ndTime - I hope this is it for you

Melissa - good luck with your appt today.

Tanikit - good luck tonight!!!
 
:hugs: everyone.

Sorry your appt was rescheduled till tomorrow Natty - will it be the same procedure where you have to call to see if there is a bed and potentially be told not today again?

:hugs: Angela and tanikit!

Im very tired today - i didn't sleep great. But other than that all is well.

Yes im afraid so, i have to call again at 9am and same process again so they could potentially say no beds again today and do the same at 9am friday , basically have to wait now until they can fit me in.

Apparently they have a list of inductions to get through obv im at the bottom as i am today and they have a back log and have to prioritise and my consultant booked me in from 37-38 weeks so i could potentially have to wait until next week ! PANTS
 
Hi girls

Thanks!.... he has been super quiet all day, i was all ready to go up get checked when dh came home from work then he decided to wake up obviously and now wont stop moving!!! lol the monkey!!
I still dont feel right though feel really odd today god knows whats going on! hoping that i go in friday like planned although dreading it like Natty that we get put off!
Clary sage - not sure if it is or isnt doing much but it is very relaxing and im feeling so chilled out after a bath!
 
has anyone been induced with cervidil before? I found out that's what they will be using on me
 
how did it work for you Natty? the lady told me that it is inserted for 12 hours and it works for some people, and some people still have nothing happening after 12 hours.....I have no idea if I am even dilated or effacing at all because that has never been checked.....just wondering if I should maybe be doing something before Tuesday to help speed up the process of the cervidil?!

It was good and worked for me i had it at half ten in the morning and by 2pm i was contracting , they checked me at 6pm and managed to break my waters as i was 3cm , heavy labour started about 8pm and i had Finley at 10:30pm x
 
natty- that sounds pretty stressful on you. i know it will be hard to sleep every night your waiting to see and by the time they get around to you, you could be exhausted! i hope tomorrow is the day for you hun and that you dont get too stressed in the process. :hugs:

melissa- i have only been induced with pitocin. worked great though. i have heard cervidil works good too but have no clue as to how well.

shells- i hope baby is ok! i had an appt today with a non-stress test and he wasnt moving. his hb was great though and my Ob told me if he doesnt move for 2 hrs straight to go to l&d immediately.

got checked today and am now 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. things are moving along nicely and OB says i might not make it to monday. if i do, she says it should be a pretty quick and easy labor. cervix is very very soft and she could feel my baby's head. he is right up against my cervix. she joked that by the time i get to 10 cm she will be in a hurry to get there cuz he will be out in no time, yay! have been having a lot cramps and BH since she checked me, OUCH!
