so so CUTE Membas!!! I feel like I am in labor but just not progressing...I was up with contractions every 5 minutes with extreme back pain last night until 430am. I am feeling defeated!
 
Aww lovely scan membas :)

Hope things start progressing soon Sammy. I know how frustrating it is! :hugs:

Ive been having regular contractions on and off for last week or so and I even had the MW out yesterday as I was so sure I was losing my waters slowly.. but nope. Very disappointed to hear not only had my waters not gone but my cervix is still very far back, long and closed.. oh and little madam is no longer engaged and is completely free again. So no signs of labour what so ever! Ive accepted now im going to go over my EDD so im trying not to think about labour at all and just wait til shes ready!
 
Sammy--don't feel defeated. LO is coming soon! Your body is just getting a lot of the pre labor work done...mine is barely doing any of that! So I'm sure that means I'm in for a long labor once it does start. Yours will probably go quickly once you really get into it!

Anababe--my LO is not engaged either--I dont' think she ever has been. I'm hoping doctor will tell me tomorrow that she's at least starting to engage...but I have a feeling she's free floating. It's my first so I thought for sure she'd engage early as that's the trend with 1st ones, but nope--hope that doesn't mean anything--I've read that babies often don't engage until labor, so I'm holding onto that.

Doctor's appt tomorrow so we'll see where my cervix is at and if it's changed. Gosh i hope it's changed somehow! Tomorrow is my actual due date based on LMP and doctor's notes. I had yesterday as my EDD based on an ultrasound early on...at this point I'll go with the doctor's EDD as that's just a few days extra that she won't want to induce me if we go 2 weeks over. :)

I've been wired today--had acupuncture at 11-12, ran errands for 3 hours, came home and cleaned out the flower beds for an hour and half with lots of squatting :) then came inside and did some work in the kitchen (dishes, making chicken stock etc...) talked to family on phone for hour or so and now I'm thinking of taking a bath--but I really am just amped up. Baby has been a bit active today too. I usually get a good boost from acupuncture so maybe that's what it is...I'll take it tho--as I feel like I got lots done today and that feels good!

Labor dust to us all :)
 
Sounds like major nesting for sure...FX labors right around the corner....a couple hours after prenatal appt I think I lost a good amount of mp sorry **tmi** fx he help a bit
 
hope that helps Sammy!

i was wondering if my energy today was nesting or not...gosh i hope so! yesterday you couldn't pay me to do a thing...i stayed in bed til 2pm, today--i woke up at 5:30 initially and thought for a minute about getting up and doing something but i watched TV and went back to sleep from 6:30-9:30 but after that I was non stop. Just filled out 3 greeting cards for family, talked to my brother on the phone, and had DH take pics of my belly. what else can i do? it's funny--there's cleaning that needs to be done but i don't want to do any of that...just everything else :haha:

Yep I say nesting....I was up until 430ish doing dishes and laundry and same thing tonight...lol I think I am going to go to bed now though 323am and actually feeling a bit tired and have a sharp pain on my left side FX labor kicks in soon for both of us have a great night
 
wow, yeah you stayed up late! i was asleep shortly after midnight and now it's 6am. i'll head back to sleep soon....still feel tired enough to do so I think. I just always wake up for an hour or so each night. hope you got some rest....are you sleeping much right now? my mom told me yesterday the day i wake up and want to rearrange everything at home and clean it spotless is the day she'll come. i dont' know if i'll ever get nesting that bad! :haha: sounds like a lot of work to me. :)
 
I had a sweep today--so I'm hoping for something to start :) My cervix was more favorable this week from last week (last week was still pretty thick, soft, 1 cm, mid position)--this week was 50% effaced, completely anterior, soft and 1 cm...so the effacement and position are progressing (well position is where it needs to be now). So went ahead with small sweep---as much as she could do at 1 cm. We'll see.
 
Hope the sweep gets things started Membas.

Got my post-dates appointment today, where they talk me through induction and book a date (probably 5 days from today).

At least I know babs will be here within a week. Getting a bit tired of people encouragingly saying "It'll happen today!" and then...nothing.
 
Hope the sweep gets things going soon membas :)

Well happy due date to me!! No signs of baby making an appearance anytime soon. Hope I don't go too far over my mum is over visiting and is only here til I'm 41 weeks so don't want her to have go back without seeing baby!
 
Just back from post-dates appointment. Booked for induction on 30th. Had a sweep - a 1 in 8 chance of working apparently. But she said chances good as cervix soft and 1cm dilated. So we'll see...
 
i hope sweeps work for both of us lady-k! we meet with our doc on friday again and i'll ask for another, and we also set up dates to start induction. we are looking at friday 1st or monday 4th (or sometime between). have to talk about those dates with doctor and discuss the process a bit more as i'd like to avoid pitocin. hopefully neither of us will need induction! if you can, try to go back for another sweep in a few days--i've read often the 2nd is more effective...and sweeps have a higher success rate for first time moms, from what i've read--so here's hoping!

did you have any cramping and bleeding afterwards? my sweep was 20 hours ago and still having some brown watery discharge...had a pretty good red mucus bleed within a few hours of sweep yesterday--and some dark small clots (after DH and I DTD an hour after the sweep). otherwise a few period cramps and all has been quiet since.
 
havent been on in a while but still skimming thru the thread.

praying all of you have your babies soon and have easy labors/deliveries:hugs:

hope the sweeps work and happy due dates to all that have reached or went over.

membas- im hoping its not much longer for you bump buddy!

being a mommy really is the best job in the world :cloud9:
