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

[MommyKC]

Hmmm... I don't have any scary movies that really make me jump. I'm kind of immune to them?

I've been drinking RLT though, and trying the nipples stimulation (as long as I can stand it)... and nothing so far! I'm so achey and sore... that physically, I don't feel like doing anything anymore. My motivation has gone buh-bye!

Good luck TUESDAY then. And enjoy being pregnant for the last day or so. I can't wait to hear all about it!

Congrats to more new mommies!!
MommyKC - I have a feeling she might be here soon too... but I'm feeling super down in the dumps today about it. Geez, only one day overdue and I'm already being so impatient! I think some icecream might help...

Getting some periody cramps - woot! Never thought I'd be happy to feel those!

 

[MommyKC]

Jules - I know the feeling. I've been feeling really down today too. And I'm not even due yet!
But when I had a bath today, I just sat there... staring at the water. I didn't want to move or do anything, I could have just sat in there all day. It's frustrating and disheartening.. just waiting and waiting for something to happen, never knowing when it will!

I had period cramps last night for a few hours but nothing tonight.

 

[newmommy23]

Yeah I'm only 39 weeks and I'm super depressed too. Dr keeps getting my damn hopes up =/

 

[MommyKC]

Yeah that makes it worse, when they give you hope.
My midwife hasn't checked me at ALL down there, since I don't want to know and it never means anything anyway. I'd be afraid she'd tell me I'm 3cm or something, fully effaced... and I would get all excited and have nothing happening. I'm having a sweep on Friday though so I will find out then.

But it's hard, no matter how much I try, NOT to get my hopes up... every little ache or pain, or when my BH contractions get more painful or regular... I keep hoping they will turn into real contractions... and when they don't, it's hard not to feel let down.

Come ON babies!!!! Stop teasing Mommy!

 

[juless]

Yep, it's definitely disheartening when you think "Is this it?" only to have nothing keep happening.. Tonight I got sick (not the vomit.. the um.. other end? TMI, sorry!) which might be clearing out starting? Who knows? I just feel really weird and out of it tonight.. not sure why.

 

[MommyKC]

Yeah I've been having more and more bathroom trips lately. And it's weird because I've had them in the morning and sometimes even at night (which NEVER happens!)... but again, this has been happening the last week or so, so I'm tired of reading into things.
I feel kind of weird tonight too, but mostly just because I feel bummed out. I don't know why because I shouldn't, like I said I'm not even due yet... but I just feel like it's never going to happen... which is silly. Stupid hormones.

 

[newmommy23]

yeah I'm nearly 4cm and 80% effaced, 100% engaged. she was so convinced LO was coming this week....guess not. =/ I've had all the signs, the contractions...just no baby. I'm getting so depressed

 

[MommyKC]

That does sound discouraging.

Baby just doesn't want to come out!

 

[juless]

I feel kinda light-headed and just wonky or something - can't describe it, hehe! Feel like I need to go to bed super early, I think I will! Hope both you guys don't have to wait too long for your babies! It feels so close but so far at the same time!

*edit* Just got "sick" again... now feeling really sick, like I'm gonna barf. I hope I don't have a virus or anything!!

 

[MommyKC]

Ugh, Jules that sucks. But it could be a good sign, I'm pretty sure I remember several gals on here getting sick shortly before their labours started???
Hopefully you're not sick with a stomach bug or anything though, fingers crossed anyway!

Well, I knew the end stage would take forever... it felt like a lifetime last time I was pregnant... but in the grand scheme of things, we've waited 39-40 weeks to get HERE, waiting another few days or a week isn't going to kill us!

Heres my birth story for those who wanted to see it! Definitely worth a read if you're thinking about induction.

Thanks hunni.... OMG all movies that are even mildly scary, terrify the crap out of me lol xxxx

 

[juless]

I can't believe how sick I felt last night! I was close to vomiting all night, super naseaus too.. I'm feeling a bit better now but still not the greatest. I wonder if it is a sign? All the pregnancy books say you can get sick and feel flu-like symptoms right before labor so let's see what happens today! It would be great! Though I do have a few things to get done tonight after work... lol
Hope all the other waiting October mommies are doing good today!

 

[claire911]

Due date tomorrow and still preggers! Saw midwife this morning and Tinker is so low now that she could hardly feel his head, honestly I hope he hasn't got lost Anyway I've to go back nxt Mon for a sweep. Can the girls who are having sweeps report back and let me know what they're like? Obviously hoping that does the trick as induction scares me more than labour, lol!!!

Baby making is a slow old business!!!!!
