*** March Mummies *** 29 Boys, 34 Girls, 8 Team Yellow! 46 babies born!!

Thanks everyone I've had my first pessary about two hours ago now soooo tired it's 2:45am here and I'm shattered so is oh bless him x
 
you said it Melissa. I know OH doesn't fully understand, but he has been pretty good. There are some things he still needs to learn though that would really make things easier for me. I was watching Bringing Home Baby yesterday, and he was watching it as well, and I think him seeing that made him realize just how much work this is going to be once the baby is here.

i hear ya hun! i dont think anyone man or woman fully understands how hard it is unless you have been here, but a little compassion goes a long way! im glad your OH got to see one of those shows, its an eye opener for sure.
 
I think that's why I have been watching them too in the last few days...just so I can get a better perspective. I know it's going to be rough, but I don't think you actually know until you are there yourself....
 
Push natty! Well not yet but you know what I mean! Hope all is goin well!! Xx
 
yay good luck Natty, hoping i will be joining ya in the morning! ... well not literally with ya but in myself!! x

Good luck today 2nd time.

No movement cathryn? Non for me :(

Still having regular painful tightenings but not progressing, bubs still moving happily so just letting things be for the moment. Hoping to get rid of this cold before anything progresses as I am so tired and grumpy. This morning I had a big sneeze and either wet myself or had a gush of waters, went to the loo and couldn't wee so it might have been some waters, have put a pad on to keep track. At work at the moment so if it was my waters and they do decide to go it could provide some entertainment for everyone lol...

Just taking each day as it comes - knowing my luck I'll go to 42 weeks and have to be induced!!!


ETA: - just had a text from Natty - she has had a couple of niggles but nothing serious yet - says the beds are very uncomfortable lol I will update as and when I hear anything.
 
has anyone been induced with cervidil before? I found out that's what they will be using on me

I had cervidal with Edward. I was still "thick" at 41 weeks so I had cervidil 2x. I went in on Friday, was monitored, have cervidil inserted, was monitored again, sent home. Back pain started that night (didn't know it was early labour). Went in Saturday, still wasn't ripe enough so had 2nd cervidil inserted, was monitored, sent home, more back pain.

Came in on Sunday, broke my water, true labour started. Had an epi sometime that evening and allowed them to start the drip to speed labour at that point, had E at 4:56am on Monday at exactly 42 weeks.
 
thats quite a long labor codegirl! hope things go quicker this time :hugs:

natty- hope things are moving along, you are a trooper!

cathryn- i hope you are feeling better before labor is fully underway. sounds like you could be starting though. sooo hoping you dont have to wait til 42 weeks and be induced :wacko:

2ndtime could be starting for you!!

afm- i had contractions that were pretty painful for a while yesterday, then just stopped. i started to time them and they were very irregular and varying in intensity. woke up at 4am this morning, couldnt fall back to sleep. had some cramps so told DH to keep his phone close. he has two big meetings today, so hopefully if something does happen it wont be during those. its his last day for the next 19 days at least. his paternity leave starts at 4:30pm, yay! might take off some vacation days after that if we need to, but probably will save them.

was thinking of doing some acupressure, supposed to get things started within 48 hours. not sure if i want to do that or wait til monday though. this weekend my girls will be gone so might be good??? last time i did acupressure in pregnancy i did it all day and contractions started the next day.
 
still got pains but nothing happening for real lol oh well not to wory
 
Wow all these babies being induced and people having labor symptoms! Weren't we all just 20 something weeks the other day? That's what it feels like anyways. Nothing going on here. Just rolled over and over all night and am very thirsty. Hubbys bday is tomorrow. Having dinner and cake with the kids, then going out alone on Sat. I suddenly feel very not pregnant, well as much as you can with all the discomforts i still have. Its like life has frozen?
 
midwife made me laugh she said if i get a bloody show or stong reg contractions to go straight in , nooo i was planning on staying home or going shopping like i need telling to go in if labour starts lol
 
Good luck natty.

Angela massive :hugs:

Had a rubbish couple of days. Hospital last night with major headache and probs with my vision, was eventually let home as long as i went in 1st thing today. Bp is up and down and my legs up to my knees have swollen up and protein in my urine but they still want to do c-section on the 28th :wacko: They are going to send a mw to see me every other day, urrgh im sooooo ready to have this baby.

I hope everyone is doing ok xx
 
chrissie- i cant believe they arent gonna do something! sounds like your getting pre-eclampsia, not good for baby or you! at least they are gonna see you every other day. maybe if things dont get better they will do something to get you in earlier. :hugs:

2ndtime- lol that made me laugh, so true! :lol:

i have started some acupressure today. supposed to take minutes to 48 hours to start labor. the only other time i tried it i did it all day and went into labor at 5:30am the next morning. im not gonna do it near as much as i did it then but i figure every now and then today and maybe more tomorrow.
