November 2012 Due Dates

[Viking15]

Wishful, I am no expert, but it sounds to me like you are on your way. Early labor can be like that for some people. Very slow. That's what it seems like to me anyhow from what I have read from other people.
MommaB, I am jealous that you can be in labor and not feel pain. I can only hope that I am the same way. Morgan is adorable, and your son is a little angel.

I am 39 weeks today. I wish I could join the mommies soon, but I am not feeling any niggles at all. I think she's gonna be late. I've been saying that all along though. As much as I would like for it to be different, she is a Latina like her daddy who can't be on time for anything to save his life.

MommaB what an amazing story!! So did they end up doing a c section or did you deliver vaginally since you were so far dilated??

Viking---I feel you! I'm positive if they weren't inducing me then she would probably stick around for week 42 just to be difficult I don't think I've even had anything close to contractions at thus point, just lots if menstrual type cramps and back pain. Hope your LO proves us wrong and is close to on time!!

MommaB I can't get over that ... That is so crazy..mi have a nst tomorrow and get my first internal check...

Wishful - hang in there hunnie it sounds like its early labor..

Amm- come on twins momma is soooooo ready!!!!!

 

[MommaBarry]

They still ended up doing the c-section. They just told me if OH wasn't there within a 2 hour window they would have no choice but to go on without him. He made it there with 10 minutes to spare.

 

[bexxc]

wow! so glad he made it!

 

[annie00]

Wow momma!!!!
At least he was there I bet u was a nervous wreck!!! Omg I know I would be!!!!

So i managed to get my house cleaned but I'm not nesting I don't think..

I feel like it will never come...

 

[Bookity]

I really hope I can labor like that Momma! I mean yeah a little scary about how fast everything might seem, but I don't want to have painful labor! I would love another pain med free one if I could manage it.

Really hope things are going well for you right now AMM. I'm on the opposide side from you then SW MI. About 5 minutes from the lake and 30 minutes from South Bend IN.

 

[AMM1031]

Well I went in and they sent me home AGAIN! Still only dilated to 2, even with all the contractions that I have been having. So I have resigned to the fact that I am going to have Nov. babies. I have an appointment at 10:45am and HOPEFULLY they will schedule my section for Friday which will put me at 38weeks exactly...and then I dont go into labor while my hubby is gone this week. But looks like I will be pregnant for my birthday on Wednesday so maybe I will paint my belly like a pumpkin

 

[Bookity]

So sorry you're not having any luck AMM! Those babies better stay until daddy gets back home then!

 

[bexxc]

amm. you must have one amazing baby warmer for those girls to want to stay all in there even though they must be very crowded!

 

[HalfThyme007]

MommaB how is recovery going? Are you in a lot of pain?

AMM --- ahhhhhh!!! Can't believe after all that they sent you home!! Sorry hope the girls stay in while daddy's gone! Love the pumpkin belly idea

 

[bexxc]

halfthyme! you're so close! day after tomorrow!!!!

 

[annie00]

Awe amm- I'm so sorry!!!!

Don't let ur hopes down bc remember everything happenes for a reason!!!!!!

 

[CharlieKeys]

Amm - I can't believe those girlies don't want out yet! I have to say I've never heard twins stay in so late before

 

[AMM1031]

Thanks guys, My dr told me that I had a cerix like Fort Knox, the trouble for me is getting pregnant and then they dont want to come out!....My son was scheduled for induction on a friday and he ended up coming Thursday, so now we are going to try and schedule for friday again and I hope they stay in there til then since he will be 5 hours out on Thursday! I hope they dont follow suit

 

[bexxc]

amm- i don't know whether to cheer for them to come out or stay in at this point!

 

[AMM1031]

amm- i don't know whether to cheer for them to come out or stay in at this point!

Me neither, they need to come tomorrow or they need to wait til Friday that is the only 2 options they have now!

 

[wishfulmom2b]

little quieter of a day for me. some contractions and still terrible back and tailbone pain. the cramps come in waves that are pretty intense. tried walking a lot but now we are getting hit with a hurricane so i will have to bounce for a few days. i know we will lose power just hope it is not for days like last year.

 

[MommaBarry]

MommaB how is recovery going? Are you in a lot of pain?

AMM --- ahhhhhh!!! Can't believe after all that they sent you home!! Sorry hope the girls stay in while daddy's gone! Love the pumpkin belly idea

Recovery has been rough but it's going. This is my 3rd night here and im DYING to get home. Tomorrow we should get the all clear from both the pediatrician and my OB to hit the road.

Breastfeeding is proving to be a huge challenge and im scared to go home and have to do it myself. I have met with the lactation specialist and she is begining to wonder if they docs were wrong about Morgans gestational age. They said she eats like a preemie vs a full 38 weeker. She falls asleep almost instantly when latching on to the breast and does not feed well because she tires out. We have had to do some supplementing with a cathater while BF to get her to suckel. I am confident she will get it eventually but I hope its sooner than later.

mommab- sorry you're having a rough time with the bfing right now. i'm sure she'll catch on and get stronger with it if you're persistent. if you're really worried, look up local breastfeeding support groups that you can attend once you've been released from the hospital.

mommyh- how are you feeling? have they gotten your condition under control? thinking of you and praying that you'll be well and reunited with your family soon.
