Aww haj sorry you're feelin poorly

Yep skeet definitely get sleep while you can i can vouch for that!! Iv brought georgia out in her pram just to make her fall to sleep so i can have some peace at my mum and dads!!

Enjoy the peace while you can!!
How are everyones babies sleeping? Georgia now sleeps from 11 till 3am, then feeds and sleeps till 6.30am... have to really try and convince her to sleep beyond that after a morning feed.. is this good/bad? She really is on time with her body clock tho, its never like 3.15.... this morning it was 3.01 when she woke!

 

[armywife11]

Haj I hope you feel better soon!!


Well gals today is the real due date so we shall see. I woke up to a cat who will not leave me alone for anything and he keeps snuggling me. I hope he is trying to tell me something and not just curious about the milk smell I now have (leaking a lot now). I brought down the bassinet and hope hope hope today. We have visitors now so at least I have a distraction.

Haj- that sucks that you still fell yucky. My mom sounds a lot like yours. My mom is so easy going about things. Even when I had my mc's my mom had several before she concieved me and she acted as if I shouldnt even care cause it happens.

Jo- sounds like Georgia is on a schedule which is good..( even if its earlier then you like) Hopefully soon she will sleep a little longer. I slept from 10:30 until 8:30 this morning and plan on taking a nap this afternoon. Oh is in a golf tourney today so its just me and the pups all day. Think it will be nice to nap on a rainy day

army- good thing you have a distraction...hopefully your cat is telling you something...have a feeling it may be the milk smell though Hopefully its very soon for you!! I'm so excited to find out the gender of your lo

 

[armywife11]

I am hopeful for the distraction. I am tired of the endless "when are they inducing you" and "that baby will get to big" comments. To many people in our home town get inductions and I feel like no one understands birth can go a little past 40 weeks. Plus no one seems to realize there are risks associated with it. I shut off my phone for the day because I can't take it any more!

I am only 3 days over based on a 28 LMP cycle but I am just 40 today based on my actual cycle. I wish they would all chill out! end rant...

I hope you ladies have a great weekend and love on those LO's for me. I am jealous and hope I get to have sleep depervaition sooooooon!!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Imagine how bad the comments and texts get at 16 days late army he he!! I didn't have any signs tho, I think your baby will be here very soon. I can't wait to hear news.

Jo - sounds like Georgia is doing well. Freya is 7 weeks today and an amazing sleeper. We are lucky. She goes down when we go to bed after her last feed so 10-11pm and wakes at 5-6am and will then go back down till 8-9ish. I'm thinking about getting her an earlier bedtime routine so putting her down 8pm ish and then a feed at 10pm but I guess she then won't sleep again after 6am.

Haj, hope you feel better soon Hun and that the dr can give you something. Don't worry what your mum says, your instincts know best what is right for you and your babies.

My contractions have changed a little. They feel more tight than they had and are really uncomfortable. Not sure if this means something, or if they really change could just be the baby in a new spot so they feel different... I HOPE IT MEANS SOMETHING!!

I walked for the first time last night and then slept with two pillows between my legs to open my pelvis more. I am hoping hoping hoping something will kick in soon.

 

[armywife11]

Contractions 3 to 5 min apart... ate did laundry took a shower. They were still going so began getting our "go bags ready" as soon as that happened they stopped!!!



EDIT*** Picked back up back pain getting worse. L&D is having me come in, in a little bit to see if its baby day!!!

 

[Wilsey]

OMG, how exciting! Best of luck

 

[josephine3]

Oooh yay i wonder if armywife is having her baby now!

 

[armywife11]

So I am in labor contractions make it look like active labor actually. Baby is dropping fast and I am almost fully effaced. I am a cm dilated and my water is already bulging through. Contractions are about 3 to 4 min apart.

I am not dilated enough to admit though. I was offered pit and refused. Asked for a sweep and the OB refused. Said he had to many women in labor right now and didn't want to risk it.. um but he offered pit so basically he just told me if you want natural you have to do it all or nothing. Whatever. Since I am 3 to 4 min apart I am suppose to wait till I am in more pain or have broken waters. *Hes the only ob on call this weekend.

SO SEND ME LABOR VIBES!!!

 

[Wilsey]

It's happening! Eeeeeeep

 

[skeet9924]

Yeah so exciting!!!!

 

[armywife11]

Figured I'd update just in case... Never went back to hospital, contractions kept up and were ones that did distract me, made me stop, made me moan in pain. They got more painful but it was late in the evening and I wanted to sleep. I contracted all night (not sure how close though) and I woke to a sore back, hip pelvis and uterus. I am having contractions here and there and they are painful but not as constant. I am eating breakfast and seeing if my body just needs more fuel. I have a NST this afternoon and they will check and see whats going on...

well they supposedly will. im still ticked at the ob yesterday who refused to sweep me let alone even meet me face to face.

 

[skeet9924]

Hopefully today they give you some answers!! Praying it happens for you today!!

 

[armywife11]

Hopefully today they give you some answers!! Praying it happens for you today!!

Thank you. I am getting really tired of this. I even contemplated induction because of yesterday. My husband and friends were just really supportive and are keeping me thinking straight which is helping keep my "natural drive" alive. I am having contractions a little more constant now and some are painful some are not. They are a lot like they were yesterday morning before they took off. I am tired and ended up sleeping in a chair so I would be upright so gravity could help. I woke up with period cramps so I think it did.

I will say this.. this labor will be hard to forget! I wish this on no one this is awful.

 

[armywife11]

Dear uterus... false labor is not suppose to include real contractions!!

Couldn't have sweep since they had to get my strep results back still (long story I may or may not told on here but they messed up) Nurse said I wasn't even dilated which I know that differs person to person checking but in that case I made ZERO change yesterday. *beats head against table* I see ob tomorrow for real appointment and hopefully sweep because my strep results should be back


EDIT**************************
My OB appointment is later than normal so an update will be late.. fyi

 

[skeet9924]

Oh I pray you get a sweep!! This has been very long for you!!

 

[likeaustralia]

Sending positive labor vibes your way, armywife!

 

[READY4OURBABY]

HI ladies!!

So many deliveries already. How excited. You all have to tell me how it is. I'm nervous for the first few weeks and breastfeeding.

Armywife: I feel your pain! I have been feeling like crap and having contractions. But nothing consistent, it sucks so bad. The ob has checked me and no dilation at all the past 2 weeks. I've tried most of the "natural" induction tricks. I go tomorrow morning hoping something has changed. Even though I have until Sunday I so ready to be not preggo


AFM: I've been gone for quite some time but I'm back. Definitely have had some ups and downs over the past few months. (cycle cell anemia, early stage preeclampsia, excessive amniotic fluid, 2 hospital visits, and not to mention a donor who has now went MIA before finishing the last of the paperwork ) But we've managed to make it this far. And hoping for a healthy little girl in the coming days.
