Hi ladies! Been stalking this thread, and now popping back in! February is almost here! I'm so excited for everyone!

I hope everyone is prepared and ready to go! 'Cause I sure am not! I kept procrastinating.... And am now 'punished' for it and put on bed rest. :dohh: so now I'm just going to wing it... lol

I have so much stress.... But I'm so exhausted, I don't even want to think!

I hope LO comes soon on her own, and yes, I've been taking RTL and EPO, otherwise I am being induced Feb 1!

Since I'm on bed rest.... I hope to be popping in here more often!

Happy to see you BabyDragon :hugs: hope your little one comes on her own for you too. I always hated being induced :growlmad:
 
I'm petrified of being induced, however at 36+3 I just had midwife check, told baby is 3/5ths engaged but bp is up. No protein tho so have to go tomorrow and see if its down again as I finally left work yesterday! I kinda want my first experience of labour here but I'm not ready all at the same time.any other first timers feel tho way?
 
Hi baby dragon good to hear from you.

I was induced with Emily so really want it au natural this time round.

Nt I really hope all goes well for you. My bp has elevated too but no protein either. Ended up on bp meds though. It has a lot to do with the reduction of progesterone at this point which s a also dilator this increases your bp. This means its not necessarily pre eclampsia.

My bp has been stable since but I'm sooo swollen up.
 
I have been using compression stockings since just before Thanksgiving, and now, even with them on, my legs are swelling. By the end of the night I can leave impressions in my calves like a memory foam mattress :haha:

I have had only one labor go start to finish without them having to stimulate it and it was by far the very best labor. Two of mine started with my water breaking and nothing happening for well over 8 -18 hours so they started contractions artificially. The other two were induced with no signs of labor. I'm praying for contractions to come on their own this time, I want my last baby to be all on her own!!

OB appt last Friday found me very effaced, but not dilated. I'll take that! At 36 +1 that was the best news I had ever gotten at that point in a pregnancy. Since then I've had many more contrctions, and hoping to stimulate more in hopes of this ONE TIME actually being ON TIME instead of wicked late :dohh:
 
Went in for another bp today, still up but not as high on the lower figure now... But midwife took ages to find hb ( my heart beating out of my chest in panic) then tells me she thinks breach! Got to go wed for a check scan....now stressing about that! I really think she is wrong, I hope she is....

Does your LO get hiccups? That is the only way I know where her head is :haha:

Hope your induction went well Shocker!
 
Sometimes usually at bottom of tummy, main movements are up under my boobs which is why I think midwife is wrong... Still I suppose I get another scan which is good!

If you're feeling the bumps low in your belly still I'd think she was wrong too. My LO gets the hiccups often so I can keep track if she's riding low or laying sideways. Good luck with the scan, hopefully babe is still head down!
