I just shovelled sidewalks in hopes it will start something! One could hope anyway.....
 
Not my waters. Very relieved. But i might have a bladder infection. At least i get to go home!
 
Still waiting for doctor to call back and let me go home. Now i am having contractions every few minutes though. So they have to decide if they want to stop it, or let me go home and see if i go into labor.
 
Congrats Chrissy & Natty :dance: :hugs:

Hope everything is ok Brai!!

Sorry to all who are getting false labour - must be frusterating!!

I have been running errands all day - its been a beautiful day 7 degrees (celcius) sunny, snow is melting - feels like spring!! I bought a cute spring coat at walmart that i hope will fit when april rolls around and i will want to take J out for walks!
 
Home now. Still feeling crappy and having random contractions. Gonna watch a movie with hubby and go to sleep. Hopefully everything will calm down.
 
Brai I hope you are feeling better soon!

Sara, that sounds like fun! I feel like I need to just do something like that - buy something fun and new and cute for after baby arrives - something for me! We keep getting baby gifts, which is wonderful, but I feel like I want something fun to wear (like, oh, I don't know, shoes I can actually get on my feet! :rofl:!)

Hugs all!
 
Angela - EPO helps ripen the cervix. It has the same hormone as :spermy: You can just google using it in late pregnancy for dosage etc. I'm currently taking 2000mg orally and 500mg internally.

AFM - Saw the OB. Can stay with my "baby Dr.'s" for delivery :dance: She has recommended induction at 39 weeks and explained why. I totally understand and will stop arguing but still hope the baby comes naturally before then. Had an internal and am now at 2cm but still thick. And she did a sweep to try and help things along too.

Then she sent me over for a NST because the baby's heart rate was low in her office. Everything was fine on the test but while we were their the BH started. It's normal after a sweep but they are starting to get really uncomforable now. As soon as DH is done bathing E and we get him to bed I'll have a bath and see if that helps.
 
Thanks Code, I will look into the EPO!

I hope your little one comes before you need to be induced. I am hoping the same thing for myself!
 
:hugs: Codegirl. I hope the BH either amount to something or go away.

Angela - i have decided i need to get some leggings and long sweaters for when baby comes so i can dress everyday in stretch clothes that aren't mat clothes but are comfy but i don't look like i live in PJ's.
 
Sara - I have been living in my yoga pants ever since I stopped working....I only put something else on when I am going to a dr's appt or something :)
 
I have one pair of Mat work pants. I have been wearing them 5 days a week for 4 months or so now LOL. When i get home i put on flannel PJ bottoms and a tank top. I have a couple pair of mat jeans for weekends - but only wear them when i actually leave the house and change back into my PJ's when i get home :haha:
 
lol! I am a huge fan of my pj's as well. I only have one pair that I find really comfy right now, so I have to constantly wash them. I bought myself a new set from motherhood maternity for in the hospital and after, and I think I will be living in them once the baby is here :)
 
That was my thinking to Melissa. But i was actually reading a thread in baby club about little secrets to feel more human and A LOT of the mom's said to get dressed everyday - and i started to think about it... im worried living in my PJ's will lead to feeling like nothing gets done all day and worried about baby blues. I think getting dressed and trying to get out for a few min's everyday will do a lot to avoid feeling "cooped up" and help keep the baby blues to a minimum.
 
i love my pj's too ladies. i have a few pairs that kinda just look like black pants so i wear them all the time. im sure they will still be the fave after baby gets here for a while. i have some black spandex pants that i could wear til about mid-pregnancy that i will move into eventually.

sara- i have learned my way of feeling better isnt so much getting dressed every day, but i like to put my hair up cute and sometimes do my make-up. sometimes just painting my nails goes a long way too. of course i could see how getting dressed would fall along those lines and make someone feel better too. i just dont really want to get new clothes and will slowly get back into my old ones that have been sitting around. its kinda depressing to put on the old clothes and have them not fit yet, so i make sure i have lost plenty before trying them on.

code- i hope the sweep does it for you. with one of mine i went into labor the very next morning. of course with another one i had 3 sweeps and still had to be induced. dont know what made the difference with them. i do know they work really well sometimes though.

im exhausted today ladies. on my 3rd day in a row of not sleeping good. have been having cramps off and on all day. took a shower and a nap since DH is officially on paternity leave and felt fine for a while. then they came back. are gone again now, but i think it has really run me down. going shopping tomorrow for some shoes for my 3 year old and some work pants for DH. yay for getting off my butt!!!!
 
I've been the same way Melissa.....cramps have been off and on all day (I wish they would just amount to something already, instead of fooling with my head), and I am sleeping less at night. Having issues falling asleep at night, then the usual of waking up every 2-3 hours to pee, and then each morning seems to get earlier and earlier for waking up and not being able to fall back to sleep. I was able to have a nap this afternoon, and that was nice. Hoping for a better sleep tonight. My ankles have been killing me for the last few days too. The tops of my feet hurt, as well as my ankles and the lower calves. They start swelling up and throbbing......so can't wait for this to be over and I can get my body back, without all the aches and pains.
 
Just a quick update from Shell - no movement yet, she's not had a lot of sleep so she is hoping bubs comes today.
 
Update from Shell - labour ward too busy - being sent home & come back tomorrow,


understanably she is a bit upset.
