Happy due date Sara, I have deliberately made my due date busy ... Skype with my sister in the morning and a coffee & cake date with a friend in the afternoon.
 
Happy Due Date Sara.. hope its not long for you now! xx
 
Happy Due Date Sara! Hope you got the sweep you wanted!

I had some light brown discharge last night around 9pm. I had my OB appointment at 4pm and she did a cervix check. I guess it was just a little old blood from her checking me? I don't know...it was kind of brownish and then a bit later more on the weird gray color and thick...but gone now...so guess it was nothing.

hope everyone is doing well!
 
Congrats Codegirl and Angela!

Happy due date Sara!

Brai my baby is still in newborn clothes and in fact my first daughter was in them for 6 weeks. They both weighed very close to each other - Kirima was 8 pounds 7 ounces and there is no ways the 0-3m clothes will fit her yet (I took some out today to check)
 
Very uncomfortable night last night O my word!!! But eventually around 230-3am the contractions spaced out and I was able to fall asleep. As soon as I stood up this am I started having some more even painful contractions. the contractions were so tight the top of my bump felt heart shaped....I could feel where his feet and butt were...craziness! Feel better while sitting but still getting contractions, also as soon as I stand up my stomach goes hard. I wonder if this little guy is going to come early or just making me hate the last few weeks of pregnancy even more....
 
Oh Sammy that doesn't sound fun, sounds promising that they ease off when sitting down, sounds like it might be your body telling you to take it easy ...
 
I lost all of my plug now! I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, but i was excited haha.
 
Im home. What a nightmare! :grr:

Basically i went into my regular 40 week checkup at my OB office. However my OB is on vacay so i saw a different OB (never seen her before ever). Her nurse took my BP. First reading was 110/90, so she changed the cuff (said it was maybe too small) and retook it, 138/90. OB did an internal told me i was 80% effaced and 2cm dilated (which i was last week) and that due to the fact my cervix is ready, and my BP is high, she was sending me to the hospital for an NST, blood work and induction :shock:.

The hospital told her the induction would have to wait to tomorrow. So i went for the NST and guess what - BP was 122/83 (my norm is 110/70, but nurse said she wasn't surpised it was elevated due to the sudden stressors in my life). They monitored for 30 mins and did blood work. Baby is fine, my blood work is 100% NORMAL.

So i asked the OB at the hospital and he said no medical reason for induction. So i refused it. The hospital OB asked i go in to repeat the tests tomorrow (which i agreed to) and as long as they are normal, no induction will be done.

Wow that is crazy! Glad they gave you a choice! :thumbup: baby should be here soon :happydance:
 
Sara i know how you feel about all the tests! I have had them all done like 5 times already.
My plug started with just a few snotty pieces on the toilet paper yesterday, then several brownish bloody pieces in the toilet later. But today it was a huge snotty looking thing with blood in it. Put mucus plug in google and it looks exactly like the picture it pulls up. I know it is TMI, pretty gross but I was excited. Never lost my plug with my other pregnancies.
 
Thanks Sammy. I go back to hospital tomorrow at 1 for the tests, then i can make an appt with my regular OB next week. If i haven't given birth yet, we can talk about induction then - but i don't want to be induced "just cause"

Brai - The testing isn't so bad - its the automatic inducing that scares me. There was no reason for it. I would probably hate to have it done 5 times though. I haven't lost my plug yet.

Sara--that appointment sounds rough. I'm glad you had the tests done and found out no medical reason to induce. Seems to me that doctor rushed it a bit on that call--
