Sorry guys didn't intend to leave you all hanging. Yesterday was a little busy. I felt bad so asked hubby to take us to store so I could walk around. I started feeling bad and really crampy so I hoped maybe it helped some. Came home and just had braxton hicks non stop all day. Went to bed around 11pm.

Woke up at 130 in pain! Had tightening and cramps that came in waves and would move to my back. I tossed and turned, could not get comfortable, ended up getting up to walk around they continued. I got the iPod to try and listen to some music to help distract me laid down and around 3 am, they just stopped. Argh!

if I make it.. i see ob tomorrow.
 
Aw what a bummer! Such a stubborn baby already.


Got my scan moved to sept 5th. :)
 
Gosh, you'll be 40 weeks in two days. Cheeky monkey is making you wait!

Eeeeep, that's so soon. I'm so excited for you! Are you doing anything special re announcement? Cake? Photo? etc? (I may have already asked you, my memory is terrible at the moment).
 
Haha that's ok I really want to. Not sure what we aren't going to do yet. I'll have a friend take pics and video it. :)
I don't think we will have time for a cake so I'll have to come up with something else.
 
Just got back from OB.. In four weeks I have made hardly any change. Ben is lower but still has not fully dropped. My next appointment will be Tuesday and we will discuss further options at that point. I expressed my disinterest in having a medication induction and asked about a sweep again and my OB was 100% on board for that if it's possible. I am just frustrated. I had a sweep with Laila at 40+3 and my water broke five hours later and I had her 12 hours after that. So now as I get closer and closer to 40+3 I am getting anxious..

I still don't know if my waters broke because the sweep or if my body said ok lets do this. I am devastated right now and almost in tears. I know some people have nothing nothing then BAM your in labor and here is baby. I just feel like my body is letting me down and I don't know if its because of how easily and calmly induction is thrown around or what.
 
Aw I'm sorry for the dissapointing news. :( I hope he surprises you and you go into spontaneous labor. I'm sure a sweep will do it for you. My DH's cousin recently went into labor after a sweep. She had her 2nd later than her first. Hang in there. Hope it's not much longer. Pretty soon he will be in your arms and you will forget about the wait. :hugs:

I was induced and honestly it was super easy and smooth. My goal is to let my body go into labor no matter what. I want to experience going into labor.
 
Went for a 2 mile walk and started hurting.. like pain pressure back pain... now sitting on my ball and the pain is coming in waves.. it starts out dull then gets stronger. Not sure if its braxton hicks or real deal contractions (since apparently mine feel the freaking same lol) but fingers crossed.
 
Braxton Hicks shouldn't hurt (but doesn't mean they aren't for you). I went into 100% spontaneous labour the first time. Went into labour a few days after I had a sweep the second time.

It's awful now but a soon as you have him you won't care that you had to wait or how you got him out. Thinking of you xx
 
See these suckers hurt, take my breath away, make me stop, some even make me stop and hold on to things. But since I am not dilating or effacing much my OB says they are false labor and Braxton Hicks. Thats what is killing me. Either my contractions don't do the right thing or I have some killer "false labor" I went through this with my daughter too. Only difference is with her I wasn't as far as they said I was and this time I know my dates are right.

With my daughter I was 2cm dilated and he did the sweep. After my water broke I was 4cm. I dilated on my own mostly but at some point everything slowed and I ended up on pit because of that. I just can't buy my body can't do this on it's own I am just praying he is waiting on Grandma and Grandpa to get here.
 
I think u will suddenly go when ur not expecting it like me. I had a sweep booked for 11am the morning he came at 11.10am!
My mw didnt look hopeful for me going either. I also hadnt dropped too.. I think 40+2 for u!
 
Happy Due Date (well in my time zone anyway, I'm bad with time differences)!

I was five days overdue when I went into labour with William. I'd been having Braxton Hicks but nothing painful. I had an appointment to be hooked up to the CTG the day I had him, needless to say that appointment was cancelled.

Your body is doing it's job right now, just because it doesn't do what they call 'text book' doesn't mean it's not doing it right. x x
 
I am feeling like crap and have lots of pain and pressure. He keeps hitting my pelvis really hard and low hoping he dropped. I walked last night and walked some today (I almost cried it was starting to hurt so much a bit ago). I also picked up some fresh pineapple for giggles I guess. I am also thinking sex doesn't sound so bad now and maybe I should suggest it to the husband tonight lol

My Ob keeps telling me it's fine.. that he sees women come in all the time high firm and tight and then they have baby in their arms in 12 hours. When he checked me for preterm labor I was high firm and 0 dilation (odd for a second time I thought since most women are dilated after baby one) so I am thinning, dilating, and softening.. just don't get to be that women who walks around 4 cm and 70% effaced I guess.
 
Your OB knows what they're talking about! I know it's hard but you just have to relax and enjoy the last of your alone time with your gorgeous girl. Your little man will make a grand entrance when he's good and ready ;)
 
Ugh... still here.. :( My parents are here now so may not be on here daily. I will try and keep you all updated. Of course once he arrives I will be on here ASAP to let you know.
 
TMI ALERT - Kinda thinking I am loosing my plug. Had an uptick in discharge and there are yellow pieces in it. Since I won't go swimming in the toilet to examine them just making a visual assessment. lol
 
Army hope it is! I'm not too familiar since i was induced. Finger crossed! Glad your parents are there! :)
 
Woke up this morning and DEFIANTLY lost my plug also had a little blood. Not as much as when I had a sweep but I expected that. Feeling really sore... MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE!!!!
 
Lost even more.. lost a ton.. i am pretty sure i lost it all now. also more blood..
