November Sparklers 2014....22 boys, 22 girls born! Please update us!

[Anniebobs]

Evan was born yesterday 4th November weighing 5lb15. Waters went at 36+3 after a constant trickle leak the day before then I was induced after 36 hours as I wasn't contracting and it was the safest option. Baby is doing well and has just been discharged from scbu but will be back in there for iv antibiotics as a precaution.

I would say to anyone who has that instinct that labour is near, you're probably right! I got all my jobs finished last week because I just felt 'done'.

Oh and my DD met Evan and is in love

Kella Marie was born at 1:28 am on 11/5 (my aunts birthday!!) after about 12 hours of labor and an hour and a half of pushing. She weighs 7lbs 8oz and is 20.5 inches long!

Fantastic news! Congratulations.

I went to the doctor today and had my cervical check and she said I'm still hard and closed so she wants me to go to the hospital Thursday night for cervical ripening by cytotec. I remembered this drug, cytotec generic name misoprostol but I couldn't put my finger on where I knew it from so looked it up and oh yeah, my friend was given it for her abortion. What!?!? It is not FDA approved for labor induction, it is off-label used for cervical ripening, even though it is an ulcer medication and contraindicated for use in pregnant women. The manufacture sent out letters once to obgyns warning against use as a cervical ripening agent because it is known to cause uterine hyperstimulation, can lead to uterine rupture and other things even maternal and fetal death. America is the only country where it is legal to prescribe and use medications for off label use. I called the office earlier and asked if we could use a different drug for induction and the nurse is going to call me back. If they won't then I'm going to cancel my induction. My health and my baby's health is fine, my blood pressure is normal my sugars are normal she is not too big or too small so unless they give me a good reason to induce I'm going to refuse. Why risk it? When I was induced with my son I didn't use cytotec, just pitocin and yes I was in labor for a long time but I didn't have to have a csection and as much as I didn't want a csec I'd rather have one then use a drug that could cause I don't want to even think about it. What do you ladies think? Am I being stupid and paranoid?

Sorry if ive missed something but why do you need your cervix to ripen in week 38? Were you due an induction?

If is no reason for baby to be out i'd be leaving everything well alone.

My ob wanted to induce me at 38 weeks because of the GD and high blood pressure, even though both are under control. After reading up on that medicine I'm going to refuse induction unless there is a clear, Real medical reason. I'm not going to risk anything bad happening if I don't have to. I had nightmares all night last night. I have a real bad feeling about it all. I'm going to discuss it with my prenatal specialist, who I trust, tomorrow. When I told her last week about the induction she seemed surprised and was like why?

So happy to see all these beautiful girls being born! Congratulations ladies!!! And Annie - congrats on little Evan! Glad the siblings are so in love

And Dissy - so awesome she came on your aunt's birthday

cncem - I've actually heard from my L&D nurse friend that cytotec works really well, but my OB won't use it - now I know why! We did cervidil for cervical ripening. I would agree that induction seems unnecessary for you, though - I'm sure you can agree to NSTs and maybe a few more ultrasounds until you get closer to your due date?

salu - sounds promising! 4cm is awesome!!!

Have my 38 week OB appt today, hoping to see some progress. Had some weird pains last night but they went away overnight, so...no indication yet of anything happening. Which is totally okay. I'm uncomfortable but she can cook a little longer

My son has zero interest in my daughter he pays her as much attention as when she was a bump!
