Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[Gagrlinpitt]

Progress!!3-4cm dilated, 80% effaced but my blood pressure is a bit high so I am going for blood work tomorrow and rechecking pressure on Thursday. If it's still high they are going to induce me.

I've been having cramps for the last 2 hours. They're pretty painful, but irregular. I don't think I can feel them in my back and they tend to stop when I sit down. I was still gonna go to work, but now I'm debating if I should. Does false labour eventually turn into true labour, or can false labour stop for days before true labour starts?

 

[Girly922]

False labour can stop and start for days/weeks prior to true labour, or it can be the start. There's no real telling.

Nice progress gag! I hope your BP is okay when they recheck.

 

[second.time]

Gag, good luck! You're as far along as I was at like 5 p.m. on the day I had my baby. Hope your BP stays in a healthy range. Sounds like you'll meet your little one very soon!

Lesonde, if you don't go into labor within the next few days, I hope you have a smooth and wonderful induction.

Pretty, for me the real test was whether or not the contractions stopped. If they'd go away once I sat down/lay down/walked around/drank water/took a shower, then I'd know it was BH. When I was in labor, even though mine had such a slow start, the contractions wouldn't stop no matter what I did. Some things would help them for maybe 10-15 minutes but they'd always come back and they'd get slowly stronger and more painful.

Thanks ladies.. it was 130/90 which isn't really crazy high but for me it's high as I'm usually 116-120/67-72. I just got my blood work and urine done and should have results by the end of the day..

 

[lesondemavie]

Pretty - I had BH on and off for about two hours one night, and a couple of days with AF like cramps and an hour of what felt like painful contractions. Still here I am at 41+1 with zero dilation. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. I've learned to stop trying to look for signs and just wait until it's the real deal.

Hope all comes back ok gag. Did they check your urine at your appointment as well? My office asks for a sample every single appointment start to finish.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Gag - Hope everything turns out ok.

So, despite my own better judgement, I went into work. On my very short walk from my front door to the car, I noticed a tiny bit of fluid come out. I thought about it for a second and decided to still go in, but just wad up some paper towels when I got there. Well, I was there for less then an hour when I had to "pee" immediately. I rushed to the bathroom, went, and when I wiped... mucous plug. After that, fluid started coming noticeably quicker, so I told my manager and headed home. I'm now hang out, freshly showered, double checking I have everything in my hospital bag and waiting for BD to get home from work downtown. My "contractions" aren't too close together just yet, but I'll probably call my OB's office, or maybe the hospital, soon and see what they suggest.

No one is more surprised than me that this is happening early, even if it's only by a few days.

 

[lesondemavie]

Ah good luck pretty!

 

[Girly922]

Good luck pretty!!

 

[DobbyForever]

Oooo gl pretty and gag! Sounds like things are happening soon!!!

Afm nope convinced SO to BD and holy heck it hurt. Lost a lot of blood. Ended up in l&d to check the blood and lack of movement. Even the cervical exam hurt like hell! Which is odd because things like that don't hurt me, but SO literally had to hold me down . He said I'm 2, 50%, and -3 station?! Only upside is baby was totally fine just asleep. And he said my bag is bulging and could possibly break within a few days

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Sounds like some birth announcements are on the way. Already started getting blood work back .. so far all is good! Appointment 9:30 tomorrow to check blood work...

 

[DobbyForever]

Yay glad the bloodwork is coming back in the clear so far

 

[Maries_s]

Pretty Good luck!!
Gag I'm glad the result are coming back good

How exciting that soon we are going to have some birth announcement!!

 

[Betty.Rubble]

My yellow bump turned on 12th July at 40+5. Sorry been busy to update

Good luck ladies x

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Update.. bloody show this morning and contractions starting.. were on our way to the hospital now

 

[second.time]

Best of luck to everyone who's in labor or giving birth today! So exciting!

 

[lesondemavie]

Started spotting this morning, but still no contractions. Hoping this means that labor is right around the corner, and maybe I won't need pitocin tonight. Heading into my pre-induction appointments soon.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Good luck leson.. we are currently in triage waiting for a labor room to open up.. I'm 3-4cm dilated and the doctor can feel the head.. contractions are 3-5 minutes apart and some of these things hurt... Having some pretty nasty back labor currently... I can't believe this is it..

 

[Maries_s]

how exciting for you girls!! Good luck and wish you a smooth and easy delivery.

 

[DobbyForever]

Gag fxed for a smooth delivery! How exciting!

Leson gl at your appointment! Hopefully you won't end up needing the induction, but if you do hoping it all goes swimmingly

Afm I think I lost some plug this morning. No contractions. Just biding time
