***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm convinced that I'd still be pregnant with her if I hadn't scheduled the induction and scared her into natural labour the day before I was scheduled, lol.

My husband wanted her to be born today. He said it would have been nice to share his birthday with her. I can't believe I'm married to a 31 year old...at least he makes 25-year-old me feel young.

My husband is delusional and pretty sure I'll deliver this week. Even if I don't naturally he insists that they will induce this weekend because my placenta issues (which of course could happen). Also my step father thinks I'll deliver Wednesday so hubby is hoping his intuition is right. Full moon tomorrow!!!

Hopeful- I ran off adrenaline this first week or so, I couldn't even sleep when baby slept because I was so busy watching him sleep. After that first week is when it slowly started to catch up with me. I'm just glad I'm getting 4-5 hours a night at this point, last time it felt like I didn't get any.

Yah Lucky - 39 weeks =D.
Bitzy - I hope all goes well at your appointment.

All these cute baby pics. I want one!

Had an afternoon snooze and since then have had more bloody show and period pains. As this also happened nearly a week ago I'm not getting my hopes up.

MIL phoned earlier to see if there was any news (I never told her about my show last week) and she sounded very disappointed when I said there was no change. How does she think I feel?!

 

[hopefulmama]

Lucky- i hope you go Wed. too! On a bad night i'm getting like 3-5 hrs, on a good night i get like 7-9 hrs.. I wish it could stay this way haha.

 

[luckyme225]

Hopeful- Wednesday is my great grandmothers birthday, who passed this year. Hoping I get blessed enough to have Liam on her birthday.

COME ON FULL MOON, get the rest of us in labor tomorrow.

Ladies who have had your babies, when did you go into labor? Morning, afternoon, evening, or night?

 

[24/7]

Lucky it was 6am for me. xx

 

[luckyme225]

Thanks 24/7! I remember reading that there was a bit of a pattern in one study as to what time people went into labor but I can't remember when they stated it was.

 

[wild2011]

lucky my previous were 6am, 6am again and 8.10pm lol

 

[Wiggler]

2.45am and 3.45am for me x x x

 

[mummy3]

Hope you ladies manage to get some sleep!

Lucky, my labours, waters breaking and deliveries have been all over the clock Happy 39 weeks

 

[meow951]

Lucky- I got up at 4:30am feeling iffy but started "proper" labour at about 6am

 

[hopefulmama]

when u guys went into labor, how bad were the contractions when u started thinking they could be real? were they that different than your braxton hicks?

 

[24/7]

Mine quite quickly got to the intensity where I needed to focus on my breathing through them, and then again after that quite quickly again that I couldn't speak through them. xxx

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I started at 7:30am with Zoe, 3:30am with Isaiah and 2:30am with Anberlin

 

[hopefulmama]

See i feel like i'm at an unfair advantage because i get braxton hicks so badly that i have to focus on my breath to take pain away and can't talk thru 1/2 the ones i get. So i'm always wondering it they r real deal or not.

 

[24/7]

How long are you BH's? I noticed with my real contractions they peaked and dipped differently.... xx

 

[Wiggler]

Hopeful - with Dylan my contractions started as mild period pains every 20-30 mins, my BH's had been pain free, I knew it was the real thing though as my waters had already broken.
With Bethany I woke up contracting evvery 2-3 mins and it was quite painful, but nowhere near as bad as before I had the epi with Dylan. I really didn't think it was the real deal until I was told I was 8cm in the hospital

 

[hopefulmama]

Sometimes they are 6-8 minutes long with intervals of 20-30 minutes in between, sometimes they are only a few minutes with 10 minutes in between, they're never regular. They jsut start so badly with lower back pain, then bump hardens then i get the bad cramps, and it feels the worst the first few minutes then either i get used to the pain or they die down strength wise.. I get it like this all the time, nothing that different than usual. That's why i feel confused and questioning myself about them

I'm back! Baby Bee will definitely be here tomorrow. Unfortunately it is via c-section, but I am just happy to finally get to see him.

Here's the low-down of my appointment: My blood pressure was great, I had protein and white blood cells in my urine, still virtually no signs of labor (no dilation, some softening of cervix, baby still isn't engaged), non-stress test showed only 1 contraction and baby was stress free, ultrasound showed BB is around 9 lbs. and placenta is starting to calcify but I had a great amount of fluid. Basically, the dr. suggested that I do the section because she's concerned about me and the baby. She gave me the choice but strongly recommended it. I can go ahead and try the induction which could last a long time since the baby is not ready. I could labor for a few days only to need a section in the end due to his size and inability to fit in my pelvis (I am petite with a narrow pelvis). Or it could work more quickly than she anticipates, but I can have major tearing and the baby is at risk of injuries. I am very familiar with this issue because my dad had permanent nerve damage when born because his shoulders got stuck during delivery. Z and I talked about it and decided to go with the c-section. It's scheduled for tomorrow at 8 am! I am so excited to finally cuddle with him.
