**** October Bumpkins 2010 - 3rd Trimester - Born so far 50 Boy's and 48 Girl's! ****

[juless]

That's funny! I was about to post the same thing about how Rose is moving a ton tonight and is causing me so many sharp pains in my cervix!! It takes my breath away! I am starting to get some period cramps too! Wouldn't it be funny if both of us start the night complaining about not having our babies yet and both go into labor? haha, that'd be great!

 

[MommyKC]

THAT would be fantastic!
Well, being a full moon... there's always a chance! My friend who used to work as a lab tech near the maternity ward said on full-moons, they would get 30-40 women in labour at the hospital (norm is only 10-15 )... so it's a possibility! And would be hilarious if we both did!
Though, I don't want to get my hopes up or expect anything, it will just be a big letdown if I do!

 

[juless]

Same here! I would love it - it'd be perfect as my MIL is coming down for a visit tommorow but I'm not getting my hopes up either. Still - good luck and I'm hoping the moon is on our side!!!

 

[MommyKC]

Yeah and weekends are always a great time for me, since my hubby wouldn't have to take much time off work.
Well good luck to us both, hopefully we will get awoken tonight by contractions or some leaking waters! But don't want to jinx it or anything.

Good luck Newmommy

I'm still here! 11 days overdue, induction is booked for tomorrow but had hoped things might have begun naturally but heyho. Does anyone know whether once they insert the gel they will let you go home or are you pretty much kept in and monitored until the end?

Hope the full moon had some effect MommyKC and Juless

 

[Newt4]

They should let you go home. I was kept because of Anna's low weight and placenta problems but if your healthy than they let you go.

Didn't wake up to labor unfortunately.. Did have a lot of brownish/pink discharge this morning though! I hope that's a good sign! I feel like I do right when my period is about to start.. the same kind of back pains and a bit crampy.

Hi!

Just to say I had my baby boy on Monday 18th via a emergency c section, long and painful back to back labour but oh my god he is so worth it!

 

[juless]

Congrats 2805!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW MUMMIES!!!

I'm terrified now, my c section will be in 61 hours and I'm really afraid now. Had 2 before but as both were emergencies I didn't have time to get scared, but this time is very different!! Spending tomorrow doing the last bits in the house and Monday probably just sh***ing myself.

Good luck to all you lovely ladies waiting!!

xxxx

 

[juless]

Try to think positive thoughts Hann! I hope it all goes uneventful and quickly for you and your baby! Can't wait to see pictures!!

 

[MommyKC]

Congrats to the new Mommies!

Hann - Don't worry, I know it's scary but think of how exciting it is, to meet your baby soon!

Jules - the pinkish/brown discharge sounds promising! I never had any bleeding with my first until I was in labour, and bleeding/spotting only usually happens (unless it's a huge amount) when you're dilating... so something must be going on in there!

Bumbleberry - it depends on the hospital and how far along you are (dilated/effaced) as far as letting you go home. I know some women who were kept at the hospital the entire time because they were already dilated, etc... and some women who weren't "ready" at all were allowed to go home for a bit.

No labour for me last night, obviously. Still in alot of pain but no contractions. I hope nothing happens tonight as my MIL isn't going to be around and she's my babysitter for my firstborn (I have my mom too but I want my mom there for the birth). Anyway, the waiting continues!

 

[MommyKC]

Oh and Happy Due Date Jules!

Lexi marie was born 21st at 10.59pm weighing 8lbs 2ozs with tonnes and hair xx

 

[juless]

So many babies!! Wow!! Congrats!!
MommyKC - thanks! I have to admit I'm glad to see you here today - was wondering all day if you'd gone into labor and I'd be left alone in here, hehe! Today I've been getting what I'm pretty sure are contractions! They have been really painful - bad lower back pain then moving around to my lower belly with tightness. They aren't regular at all though. I also am randomly getting period type cramps and VERY sharp stabs in my nether-regions and cervix. Sharp enough to make me yell out! The discharge stopped during the day, but then just now I had a period pain and went to the bathroom afterwards, there was some brownish/pink discharge again! I'm thinking it is dilating or something! Maaan, I hope something is happening! I also have much more energy today than usual! I'm feeling things I've never felt before so I'm thinking that's a good sign! Rose is moving today, but a bit less vigorously than she usually is. Trying really hard not to get my hopes up though, don't wanna be disappointed!
MommyKC - I hope you go into labor tommorow then, when you have someone to watch your little girl!
