November 2013 Babies!

Anyone watching Reign? I think I might like it! I didn't think I would but I am interested after the first episode.

And if you watch Supernatural and you watched last weeks episode that isn't what Longmont Colorado looks like. When Cass lands he is suppose to be in Longmont and it is all mountains and trees. Longmont is where I am giving birth and it doesn't look at all like that! Husband and I were laughing our heads off.

I was considering watching Reign, but then I didn't. I watch Vampire Diaries, started on The Originals and am catching up on Hart of Dixie to be able to watch it weekly. I like silly shows. This is the first fall season where I am actually watching something almost nightly. I watch shows Sunday-Wednesday. So much goodness to watch!

 

[Co_Cowgirl]

I catch things on Hulu as I am usually crawling into bed around 8 or so to sleep!

 

[whittnie117]

I wish I could sleep that early. If I do, I'd be up at 10 to pee and then awake all night. As it is I can't get to sleep until about 3 or 4 anyhow. It's really annoying. I was sleeping so well in the middle of second trimester until about 29 weeks.

I catch some of the shows on Hulu too. There are time conflicts for a couple of the shows I watch, lol.

 

[The Alchemist]

I only watch American horror story, The Voice, Shields (don't really like it), and Modern Family. Not sure what show Reign is?

Q: I'm pretty sure my boy is still breech and I'm trying to find out which breech. I feel the kicks and thumps down low in my groin. The hard lump right behind navel or to the right of it. Then little tiny tickly movements to the left of navel. Can anyone picture that?

Whit: I am obsessed with Vampire Diaries and and thenoriginals! I am watching last night episode of VD now!

[whittnie117]

Oh cat- so sorry that they are not following up with you like they should. At that point I'd be fed up and tell them to do something. I don't know what to say other than to offer Hopefully something will get started soon for you.

I've been silent stalking you ladies, huge congratulation luna, amazing birth story, I wish mine could be as good as yours !

Cat- sorry for the stress you're going through, I hope your body starts reacting soon!

 

[wantb502]

Cat: so sorry they've been tooling around! I'd be pissed too.. At least Try to get some rest while you're in there.

 

[whittnie117]

AHhhh! Silent stalker! =P Hi there Sunny. You've only got a bit to go too!

Cat- I'm sorry you're feeling low. Hopefully they can get their acts together and get something done for you today. I'm up for the day so I can keep you company until I leave for the storage unit this afternoon. And then again after!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Thanks for sharing your story Luna, It was incredible.

Cat- Thats awful. Sooooo sorry youre having such a hard time. I was wondering if we were going to see your babe soon Big hugs hon hang in there

Cowgirl- Sorry youre starting to feel crappy. It happens about this time. I make all kinds of noises getting out of bed at night lol. OH just sleeps through it though.

AFM- I updated most of you on facebook, but went to the dr Friday morning, had an ultrasound to make sure the pain in my side and back was nothing serious. Everything on the ultrasound looked great, aside from how big the baby is. Hes measuring 8lbs right now! Yikes!! So the doctor thinks thats where a lot of the pain is coming from. he did an internal. I am 90% effaced and 1 cm dilated. I was there on Tuesday and nothing was happening, so that happened quickly. He did a sweep...which was TERRIBLE. since then Ive had some spotting, plug loss and serious cramping...but nothing else. Im soooo incredibly uncomfortable, its unbelievable. Doctor said if I dont go into labor before Tuesday that when we go in for a check up we can discuss induction options. That kind of freaks me out too. I guess I always assumed we would go naturally. Im hoping I still will. But thats what going on. Im trying to do a lot of walking, but its hard since it hurts....but, at this point, anything to get things moving.....also not looking forward to work tomorrow BLAH!

 

[berniegroves]

Cat - I hope they sort it out for you soon. I really don't ever here any good induction stories!!! Fingers crossed your baby will be here soon.

Rockin - I know you want baby to arrive ASAP but I would really try and hold out being induced for as long as possible. If the baby and your body aren't ready I've heard induction can go on for a long time. And I know in the UK it results in more assisted deliveries.
With my daughter I went into natural labour when I was 1 day overdue.
Also I've heard that weights estimated by scans can be out by 10 or even 20%. My friend was induced as they said the baby was too small at 38 weeks, they said the baby was 5lb. They induced her immediately and 3 days later her DD was born by c-section weighing 6lb4oz! So a totally healthy weight for 38 weeks.
They told me I was heading for a 10lb+ baby. But DD was 8lb8oz when she was born. So scans can only estimate so try not to let that worry you too much.
Speak to your doctor and see what they say. But hopefully you'll go into labour naturally before you need to be induced.
Xx

 

[The Alchemist]

Rock - it's totally your decision....but if I were you, I'd hold off in the induction (unless there is a medical reason to have it) considering you're 38 weeks. There is still a chance you may go into labor naturally. And like bernie said, scans aren't entirely accurate. What are your thoughts on induction?

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

About the induction: Im 39 weeks tomorrow. My appt is tomorrow and they werent talking about inducing until next week (when Id be 40 weeks) and thats if I dont go into labor first. Ive heard inductions are difficult, so of course Ill ask questions and make sure medically its whats best before I say OK. Im really hoping to go into labor on my own soon. Ill wait until 40 weeks. If after 40 weeks they think I need to be induced, we'll have a discussion about it then. But...I just keep reminding myself that thats 8 days away and a lot could happen between now and then.

Im still losing bits of plug (large bits of plug...gross!), which I assume is good, and am pretty uncomfortable with the cramping, but no real contractions, so...he might just be stuck in there for a bit. OH and I DTD last night, I was hoping that would help, but really it was just like a circus side show lol. I dont know that we'll be doing that again for awhile
