Yay Cassie.. so excited for you.. cant wait to hear more news..

Rachel-hope eden wants to come out soon.. i wasnt going to induced till at least 41 weeks too, with mckenna.. but she came at 39+3.. hope this one comes earlier lol or about the same..

Jen i would say we should be text buddies when the time comes but who knows whats gonna happen then lol.. as were due only days apart.. lol

My doula just visited and had a gentle poke at some induction points from shiatsu just to show rich what to do. Maybe have a google of those. They were pretty easy to find.

Logan, if peanut comes at 39+3 like McKenna did, I'll be 39+6... a Saturday... and apparently my dr has been doing scheduled sections on Saturdays lately... so it is entirely possible our babies could share a bday!
On the other hand, if I go on a Tuesday, I'll be 39+2, which would make you 38+6? Still possible, but less likely.

Anyway, it helps that mine will be scheduled, so you all will pretty much know when I am going into the hospital that the baby will be born pretty soon. I can text Logan anyway, just to say baby and I are okay, time of birth, weight, etc. And of course the name.

I wonder if my hospital has wifi... I would totally bring my laptop, especially if I'm going to be in recovery for a day or two. Last time I was soooo bored... My mom brought me Oprah's magazine and I read the WHOLE THING... and those are like 500 pages long!!

Logan, I will totally be your text buddy for when you go into labor... as long as I'm not in the OR at the time! But I would be so excited if our babies were born the same day!

had a text from Cassie - they're on their way into the hospital now as she's craving gas and air lol - contractions are 3 minutes apart so I don't think it'll be long! xx

 

[FloridaGirl21]

eeek! exciting

 

[sept10]

good luck Cassie xxx

 

[DrGomps]

thats so exciting!! Macie's coming!!

Logan I can always text update for you as I have your number, in case Jen's indisposed or vice versa...I know it can be hard right after birth to come on here

my hospital had wifi but it sucked...I was on 3G on my phone the entire time..probably used tons of data!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

No updates as yet, but with contractions 3 minutes apart I'm assuming things would progress quite quickly? Or does it not work like that?

So with a sweep - is there anything I can do to help it along - like walk around lots afterwards, or am I meant to put my feet up after, or does it not matter?

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Argh. BnB ate my post.

It's been over an hour... anxious to hear some news... good luck, Cassie!!

 

[cranberry987]

If you shove some evening primrose oil tablets up next to your cervix that's supposed to ripen it a bit. Before the sweep that is. Dunno about other things post sweep rly

Just expressed a whole ml of colostrum. Feel like a superstar!

 

[DrGomps]

yay cran for expressing that much colustrum!! Awesome!!
Also, I tried the pressure points...didn't do anything...

Rachel...definitely walk and bounce after a sweep and EPO is still okay too...I actually think DTD is better then EPO.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

More fun for OH, anyway, right?

 

[Sun_Flower]

OH and I have been DTD regularly, but like everything else it hasn't really helped lol. Pretty sure he won't mind trying again though! Still sitting here bouncing on my ball, still taking EPO every day, long walks etc, still nothing. Little madam!

 

[cranberry987]

Ah rly? It's like her entire job so hope she has some magical powers! There was one on the shoulder, hand, lower back, foot and ankle. Think that was em all. Couldnt tell you where exactly tho now. Brain doesn't hold information now apparently.

Careful if you use epo. I just nearly put a tablet into my bladder as I wasn't rly concentrating

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Haha I love how there are five of us viewing this thread... all waiting for an update...

Time for me to get some dinner... hoping for some fabulous news before bed tonight!

 

[Sun_Flower]

I keep checking my phone but I'm assuming Cassie and Aston are pretty busy right now, lol!

I'm really tempted to try inserting an EPO capsule... but isn't it a cumulative thing like RLT, so one tonight and one tomorrow won't really do anything?

Also, how far up does it have to go? I can't really reach that far up with my bump in the way...

 

[sspencer99]

Too excited but I can't stay awake will be checking in the morning
Baybe there will be two babies

Xxxx nite nite Xxxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Awwww, I hope Macie is here now and they are just enjoying her...

 

[cranberry987]

If you've got some epo in the house then maybe give it a go. Has to be on your cervix I think and I can't reach mine ATM so dh has to help. It's that or use a stick! Might not do much or might just tip you over, who knows!

 

[Sun_Flower]

I've got EPO capsules that I've been taking orally every day, think they're 1000mg ones or something, guess it couldn't hurt to try, lol. Mind you, it's sods law that I'd stick them up there and then they'd melt out everywhere and I'd get excited and think my waters had gone or something...
