Thanks ladies. I was on Pitocin for two hours before being checked again and hadn't made any progress. I don't know how she's laying but I think I'm experiencing back labor (my mom said it sounds like it) and its downright awful so I got an epidural about 15 min ago. It's definitely helped but I still feel some uncomfortable pressure in my lower back. Anesthesiologist said there isn't much he can do about it and it's probably the way the baby is laying. Oh well, it's only uncomfortable and not painful so I'll deal for now.

Waves: AHHHHHH, Finally!!! Good luck hun! I guess persistence IS the key!!! Can't wait to see the pics of Miss Hannah!!!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks ladies!!! Hopefully some of you will be right behind me!!!

Yay! I had a feeling you would be in today!

Crap now I gotta figure out if all my leaking is waters too How much leakage were you getting do you know? I know you said everything felt "wet" which is what I'm feeling but I'm not getting any trickles or gushing. Did you do the laying down thing and get up and see how much came out?

Ooooh so excited for you!

Thanks dear!

At first my underwear felt real damp. I would have thought it was discharge but it was clear, not white or yellow or looking like discharge. I dried myself off and put on a pad and sat back down. Within two minutes THAT felt damp. Didn't feel any gushes and once I started paying attention I felt a slight trickle. It wasn't constant or anything. I laid down on my back for 30 min and stood up to see if it had pooled and gushed out at once but it didn't so I assumed I was paranoid and it was just discharge. Still felt slight trickling for another 45 min. Gross but I stripped down naked and moved around some to see if moving her out of the way opened the hole and I saw a clear small puddle (dime sized) on the floor. Kept wiping myself with my fingers and smelling it. It was always clear, watery ad didn't smell like urine or discharge. It was so slight the doctor didn't think I was leaking.

No baby but there's progress. It's 11:50am here now and I was checked maybe a half hour ago. Finally 5cm, 80% effaced and station 0. When she checked Me head there was a lot of bloody show.

 

[RBurnett]

[zephyr]

How exciting! I thought for sure you would of had her by the time I woke up today Looks like you dont have long left though!!

 

[Ems77]

Yay! So excited for you. Hopefully I'm not far behind. Have had a nasty backache since 3 am with contractions thrown in at random No sign of plug, cervix still high, we'll see.... OWWWWIE!

 

[KendraNoell]

Waves I hope you've had that baby by now!

Ugh as for me... been completely and utterly exhausted today barely could keep my eyes open. For about the last hour been having a lot of lower pain in the vaginal area not like cramping or anything like that. Not having any contractions though so I'm clueless.

 

[wavescrash]

About to fall asleep for the first time in 3 days so I'll do a proper update tomorrow but Hannah Grace was born 4/27/12 at 5:45pm weighing 6lbs 5oz and 20" long. She's beyond beautiful and the nurses can't stop talking about what gorgeous eyelashes she has! So surreal she's here. Bed fr now but I'll share the last of my birth story and pictures tomorrow!

[zephyr]

Congrats Waves! Glad everything went so well, rest up you deserve it! You must be exhausted after all that. I saw a couple of photos and she is very beautiful. Well done!

Well I thought my waters broke today, it makes me feel bad that this past week I have peed myself more times than I can remember I got really excited but nothing else has happened so I can only assume I peed myself, otherwise I have this 'wet thing' going on too that I can't explain. I certainly don't 'feel' myself peeing.....

I have 2 more sleeps and just tomorrow day to get through. The past 4 days have been rough. The worst and slowest 4 days of my life. My body feels like it can't take any more now. Every movement I feel like I am going to break.
OH even took the day off work today because I have been struggling the past few days.

Last night my feet swelled so unbelieveably huge! the worst the have ever been and the swelling can only be controlled by a foot rub and my feet up. Happened again today too feels like my feel are going to split open. If I had swelling elsewhere I would of gone straight to hospital but since it only in my feet I'm sure I'll survive the next day.
Anyways my feet swelling last night I completely lost it and had a huge cry, burst into tears and my daughter and OH rubbed my feet which I sobbed like a big baby saying "I can't take anymore of this"

This is just so hard I never expected to reach 38 weeks and though I am glad I have, I do wish it wasn't so hard.

Sorry for the big downer guys I just feel really crappy and want the next 36 hours to go fast cos this is nothing like I even imagined and I feel pretty damn miserable right now.

zephyr - no need to apologise in the slightest - you are doing AMAZINGLY, honestly to get this far with twins is truly brilliant - jeezo it's hard enough with one & gawd knows I moan all the time - I can't imagine how hard you must find it, specially with lo's already - don't be hard on yourself my friend! honestly 38wks with twins - FAB!

i have had the wet thing for that last few wks and i just have one - i was told during an exam at 16wks (during a scare) that i had amazing pelvic floor muscles so either they've just mega deteriorated or i'm just a pissy pants

37wks today for me yay! one more wk of work then junior is welcome to arrive asap!
