Congrats Angela!!! Cant wait to see some baby pictures :happydance

well last night contractions like usual ended up going from 10 min to 15min and less painful to the point I was able to fall asleep.
 
Congrats Angela - can wait for the pics and details

Right now I am so tired, been at a conference all day today and with driving there and back I am ready for bed. Just cooking dinner so will eat that and then flake I think.

Contractions still roughly 30mins appart but have gotten as close as 10 mins before slowly spacing out again - made today interesting and some people were getting very stressed at the conference, they were worried I'd drop the baby there and then. Made me laugh - if only it were that easy!!!! I'd be in heaven - had to keep pointing out that I'd have plenty of time to make it to the hospital if things kicked off ... (my mum had v long labours so I'm expecting the same)

Brai / Sara I hope your dr apps goes well

Anababe - long time no see - good to see your still around - good luck with your home birth.

Lots of labour dust to everyone who's now due and wanting bubs out, lots of stay in dust to those not yet due and want baby to cook for a bit longer.
 
congrats Angela! :yipee:

sounds like a lot of MW and OB appointments today--mine is at 3pm. hoping for negative strep b results and hoping she'll check my cervix to see if it's changed from last week.

not much else news from me :) quiet still but still having some menstrual like cramps--getting more often but not every day, and more intense when they do happen. today some back type cramping--not like back ache muscle thing but just achy. i dunno...

:hugs: to all
 
No induction for me. But I am ok with it since it means baby will be bigger and healthier. She did strip my membranes though. Have had a lot more BHs and lost a lot of mucous plug, but other than that nothing much. I was 2 cm dialated, stretched to 3 cm when she did the sweep. And 60% effaced. Baby is still at -3 station though. And lots of fluid, his AFI was 20. I go back in next Thursday for BPP and appt, and if nothing happens before then I am scheduled to be induced March 14th.
 
Sounds like a good appt Brai!! I really want to get checked at mine, but my OB is on vacay so i doubt the fill in OB is going to do an internal - i hope i can book an appt for monday with my regular OB so that if nothing happens by then i can at least get an update!
 
Codegirl had her baby today too!! but i haven't been informed as to what flavour the baby is!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Aww congrats to codegirl. We are getting babies everyday it seems! Yay :)

I saw my OB today--she checked my cervix again...still soft, mid, 1cm (same as last week) but she said very soft...and offered to sweep membranes next week or the week after (38 or 39 weeks). told her i'd talk to DH and we'd decide...she said sometimes it can jump start things sometimes not. So we'll see. She felt of baby and said she thinks about 8 pounds and some change by the due date...so not a tiny baby but not huge. I'm okay with that---of course if we go over by 2 weeks then we are talking about at least another pound...so here's hoping we dont' go over much! :) acupuncture starts next week for getting some labor points done....points that help get cervix ready etc...

I'm cooking a meatloaf in the oven--damn it smells good. DH is bringing home potatoes and we are making homemade mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and meatloaf. YUM and then i bought a pint of vanilla ice cream for us to share...double yum!

Brai--sound like you have a plan in place now...so that's good! Glad you are feeling okay with things. Baby will be healthier staying in a bit longer--you can do it! :)
 
dinner sounds great Membas!! We had ribs and mashed potatoes (but i use instant :blush: )

My sweep didn't do anything, even though i was 80% effaced and 2 cm dilated... just the luck of the draw i think.

My cold was better - but im uber mucusy now :sick: To be honest i wish it was mucus down below instead of in my head :haha:
 
Sarah i had mucus down below today and it wasn't as exciting as i thought haha. I think i was just having a weak hormonal week. I am glad for him to stay in a bit longer. As of Tuesday, I will be the most pregnant i have ever been. Never made it past 38 weeks. All my babies were tiny and sickly. It will be fun to have a fat healthy baby this time. Does anyone know if I can donate the preemie clothes and diapers to the NICU at the hospital? Wasn't sure if they would take them. Also will an 8 or 9 pound baby fit in newborn size? Don't know if I should pack a 0 to 3 month outfit just in case.
 
My doctor hasn't used the word effacement...and i guess i need to figure out what is the difference between effacement and soft cuz she just says soft or very soft--not any percentages etc...is effacement the thinning? and is that different than the hard vs. soft? i should have asked my doctor.

sara, i was wondering where you were at when you had your sweep--i knew you had one...so yeah...i think if Dh and i agree we'll wait til 39 weeks before having. next week is too soon in case it does kick start things! :haha:
 
My best friends little girl was 8lbs 13oz and she wore some newborn stuff - i think it depended on the brand (as they all fit differently). Not sure if thats any help :haha: sorry.

This whole pregnancy i have had a LOT of cervical mucus... but it seems to have dried up since my sweep. Also the acne i have suffered with for 9 months also seems be clearing up... i guess my hormones are changing.

Also my bladder is leaking :blush: but that just started in the last few days - so i should consider myself lucky.

Sorry Membas we must have posted at same time LOL. Yes effaced = thinned out... not sure how that equates to soft though... sorry. I was happy when she told me that... then she did the sweep - and here i lay, due tomorrow, no sign of bubs. BOOOOO.
 
As long as he can wear the newborn outfits for a little bit I will be happy! Just been to the bathroom and had more plug and this time it was bloody. But brownish like old blood. Does this sound like bloody show, or is it just from the sweep if that makes sense? Having some cramping but no realy contractions.
 
sorry brai, i'm of no help since never been through this before.

sara--i didn't realize your due date is tomorrow! come on baby--mama wants to meet you! :)
 
Congrats Codegirl hope all went well.

Brai, glad you had a good app, I know what you mean about being the most preg you've been though DS was born at 37+4 so now at 39+5 I am very ready for things to kick off!!! DS was 8lb 11oz and fit into newborn for a short time, but I mainly put him in 0-3 we didn't buy newborn but had been given some as presents. 0-3 were a bit big but meant we got the wear out of them. From our 35week scan the estimate for this one at terms was around 9lb so hoping to do the same. With regards to your preemie clothes I think the hospital would be greatful for them, especially for women who have unexpected early deliveries and don't have anything for bubs to wear.

Happy due date for tomorrow Sara

Membas dinner sounds fab - ot sure what to do for mine tonight might have takeaway.


Hip Hip Horray - My last day at work today !!!!!! Yippee
 
Congrats Angela and codegirl! :D

MumtoJ - Hope your contractions become more regular soon! Yey for last day at work! Not long to go now til LO makes an appearence :D

Brai - Good luck hun, hope something happens for you soon!

Not much happening here, had a practice setting up pool last night, weird to think next time we'll be putting it up ill be in labour!! Lost loads of my plug yesterday and this morning, but not holding my breath for anything happening as I know it doesnt necessarily mean labour is imminent! Im not quite ready for her yet so im happy for her to stay put another week or so! lol
 
its my d-day... no signs of nothin - boooo. i have a dr`s appt in 1/2 hour. I really hope i get another sweep, but im not getting my hopes up.
