November 2012 Due Dates

[wishfulmom2b]

haha i am a little green in the face with envy for the mommys who have had their babies or are very close. which is terrible because i am not even at my due date lol! i am just so uncomfortable.

and charlie i agree...inductions scare me as does pitocin so i am just pretending it won't happen lol... so mature of me right?!

 

[ashleywalton]

Cervix envy here as well. Lol.

I still don't know why my doctor is talking about inducing me...I will ask when he actually brings up doing it. So far he has mentioned it but hasn't set a date or anything like that. I know my due date can only be off by about 4 days. So, I'm sure we'll just be waiting it out unless my BP is high or something...who knows?

I hope the cervidil kicks in for ya Half. That is what I had with my 1st and it really got things going for me. I was already at 2cm when it was placed. Lots of luck your way!

 

[AMM1031]

Okay everything went great, Cadence Colleen was born at 2:05pm at 7lb5oz 19 1/2in, MaKenna Grace was at 2:07pm 6lb14oz 19 1/2in, they have both been feed. Will post pics when we get home I'm friday.

 

[wishfulmom2b]

so good to hear AMM!! and such good weights for twins. so happy you finally got to meet your babies.. can't wait to see pictures!!

 

[ashleywalton]

Omg AMM!! Congrats to you!! That is so amazing! They are both bigger than my 2nd baby was. I hope you recover quickly and I look forward to pics on Friday! Oh, and yay for your October babies!

 

[HalfThyme007]

Congrats AMM!!! What healthy babies!!

The Cervidil is definitely doing something! Haven't really slept much and it's 4:30 am. Lots of cramps and pressure.

Wishful -- nothing wrong with the power of positive thinking! I'm grateful they are inducing me, but I can't ignore how much better I think it would've been if I'd been able to do it on my own. Stay positive!!

Ashley I need you or Stephers or anyone else close to popping here to labor with me! I love DH but poor guy just doesn't know what to do and doesn't know what cramps feel like!

 

[wishfulmom2b]

thanks half! and i say the same thing about my DH haha whenever i have cramps i am like "omg ouch!!" and he's like "i know hunny"... yeah sure you do

hang in there... you will be holding your baby so so soon!!!

 

[charlie15]

Ah congrats AMM, hope you're recovering well, look forward to seeing some pics!

Bookity, that's madness that your doc would want to put you through an induction as he thought you laboured fast, so that he would be there!! Glad you shut him up!!

So official due date tomorrow and looks like I'm not going to get my Halloween baby! Oh well November baby like Mum it'll be! Really want bubs here by Monday, if not my MW will give me a stretch and sweep on Monday, May sound crazy but thinking of going to the gym to see if i can move this baby out...not sure what I'll actually manage to do there!! but i do know people who kick started their labours with a bit of exercise!

Half Thyme, sending you dilating vibes from over the pond!

 

[hollsarena]

Congratulations AMM!!! I can't wait to see your girls!!!

Hang in there Half! I love that you are keeping us updated! Hope to hear some good news from you soon!!! You are doing great, I'm sure of it!

 

[Stephers35]

Congrats AMM! Those babies were defnitely ready to get out of there! My SIL had twins that were that big as well and they took her two weeks early. Glad they are doing well and feeding! I'm sure you have some healing to do, but I bet it feels good to know that the babies are healthy!

Half-I so wish that I was laboring with you! I had a couple contractions and cramping last night, but that could've just been because the doc disturbed my cervix. Who knows! I just wish this girl would start things up! I want to be able to see her and know that she's healthy!

Hang in there! We're thinking about you!

 

[Bookity]

Congrats AMM!! What EXCELLENT weights too! My daughter was right in between those weights when she was born. You had 14 lbs of babies in you!! Wow!

Half, hope baby comes soon!!! (already here maybe??)

Wishful, too funny about the cramps.

 

[MommyH]

COMGRATS AMM!!!!!! So happy for you and I can't wait to see pictures I can't believe both of yours were over the size of my one!!! Now I see why you were all ready to get the show on the road!

Half I'm praying this is over soon for you my first was a cervadil induction and ughh it took forever!!! Sending easy labor vibes your way sweetie

 

[Mrs.326]

Congrats, AMM!!! Great news & Great weights! Can't wait to see pictures of the babies on Friday. Get some rest and snuggle with those sweeties.

Thinking of you Half! Hoping everything goes smoothly for you and you get to meet your baby soon! I'll be checking back for more updates

Stephers, you are literally so close! I wouldn't think you'd need an induction if you're already at 4! Best of luck!

As for inductions, they're really induction happy in my neck of the woods. DH and I were just on the phone talking about our friends who have had babies and we're pretty sure they were all induced, and all but one had a c-section. Makes me a little less induction happy now that I think of it... Oh well - it shouldn't even be a concern. Baby will be full term next week, DH has a ton of business he needs to be present for, my step-dad is taking a boy's trip to a casino, my mom has a girls weekend planned, and MIL and FIL will be in Miami... the law of averages suggests that's when I'll go into labor

 

[Fizzoid]

Well, here I am, I thought I'd wave hello to the November thread :wave:

Our little one is being rather stubborn! I think the nasty weather has put her off coming out to say hello

 

[charlie15]

Hi Fizzoid, I think my LO does not want to share it's special day with anyone so is being stubborn too! Due date tomorrow but we've had lots of family birthdays have just passed and now a clear run for a week so may decide to make a grand entrance soon! when was your due date??

Mrs i hope the mass exodus of your family doesn't mean labour for you!! would be nice to have one person around!!

She was due on the 26th. My OH has a midwife appointment on Friday, and if nothing has happened by then, we'll be booked in for an induction

 

[bexxc]

Charlie - They'd all make their way back for the birth (or at least come see him while we're still in the hospital if they can't make it here in time). DH will be close by, so he'll definitely be there if I happen to pop then!

Stephers - I know... I'm kind of planning on it, just so I'm prepared!
