Waves...not that its the same but I was 2 cm dilated for like 4 weeks. But it was my first, so being your third might make it faster.
 
I was also 2 cm dilated at 35 weeks with Jaxon!

Nikki- I hope all is well.. post some more pics of your princess' sweet face when you get a chance :)
 
I'm not sure this is accurate, but in the US, isn't it pretty standard to deliver within 24 hours of your water breaking due to infection?
 
^YES!

I've been reading all over 3rd trimester thread where ladies waters break and their MW (usually in UK or countries other than the US) tell them to say at home for a while longer, overnight etc. But my OB told me waters breaking means come to L&D immediately, bc baby will be born in 24-48 hrs and you'd need monitored for cord prolapse and infection.

Unfortunately, that's the sucky part lol. It sounds promising but like you both, I could very well stay at 2cm for awhile lol. I'm just hoping to follow similar patterns to my previous pregnancies but I have no idea how common that is or if there's no relevance at all. The next week is going to drag until my appointment though lol.

Yep. I tested positive for a small/slow leak with Hannah so I was immediately admitted and several hours later started on Pitocin (I had been dilated to a 3 and was contracting frequently by this point anyway.) It's so weird to me to see girls in the UK and elsewhere post about being sent home to wait a week or several days when their waters have gone or started leaking. I'd be so worried about things going wrong lol.

AFM - We had a teeny, tiny amount of wiggle room with money this pay period (and I do mean teeny, tiny lol) so OH said he didn't mind me going to get a haircut... which I have been desperately wanting for our maternity pictures in less than 2 weeks and just in general. So I have an appointment with my hair dresser in an hour. I'm both excited and nervous because I'm cutting off quite a bit and going back to a longer bob.
 
Be careful Cass! I used a step stool to change my bulletin board at work and got off balance twice. Since then I only use a step stool with supervision lol

Waves-I'm glad everything is looking good! That's so exciting it's getting close to time :) If you do end up doing a c-section they still might let you do skin to skin. I know my doc is letting us do skin to skin if we have a c-section unless there is a problem.

Rachel-I completely feel you. I love having the babies in me and being able to feel them move, but the weight of my uterus when I stand, the spd, the hip pain when I sleep, the back pain at the end of the day...It's going to wear on me quickly! lol

Britt-I know the wait sucks! We bought gender neutral stuff before we knew genders. Honestly we didn't find much and what we did find was basically all yellow...we really should have waited bc we aren't even going to use most of it lol

Sandy-Like the other girls said, yes it is common practice that once the water breaks they want you to have the baby soon. However, if you are early in the pregnancy they will try to wait. I think you are usually monitored in the hospital on bed rest at that point though bc they want to watch for infection and also they monitor how much fluid the baby still has in utero.
 
I feel like the most awful person in the world right now. I forgot how long my son was. I thought I knew, and I was right, but I wasn't 100% sure. I feel awful. All I have are some memories, a piece of his hair, and some papers.. and I am forgetting. Not like there's tons to even remember.
 
Waves- That will be a nice mom-do.. easy to manage with a newborn and 2 yr old.. GL I love hair appts, haven't had a proper one in 2 years now! :P

Sandy- Same here.. a lock of brown hair, outfits, papers, and whatever my brain can remember from those drugged up 13 days. It's awful. But we were at family dinner the other day and I was telling everyone he was 5 lbs, when in fact he was 7. I felt so guilty, but hey that's not what mattered to me at the time! I also forgot (and still am not sure) of what day we got married. I know it was a few days after getting to the hospital, the first week of April.. but it's still all so blurry and I need to go find our marriage abstract and see what day my 1st wedding anniversary is seeing as it's coming up here in 2 mos! :dohh:
 
Glad I'm not alone. It just feels so awful, like little details are slipping away. And that's all I have. That whole 2 weeks really is a blur.
 
Ahh girls. You really have been through so much. I'm so happy that you have your little bundles on the way. Nothing will replace your loss but having something to hold and love is a little way to healing a broken heart . When my mum was murdered I was a mess for years. Ill never feel over her death but for some reason having elliott helped deal with the pain.

The uk is a bit blasé for my liking. It worries me to have another baby on the nhs as it was sheer luck that the strep was caught. I cant believe I was left in labour for 3 days. I was soooo tired after. Of I have done 2 tests. I dont think I can see anything on them but im not worried as im only about 8 days post o
 
Ashlee- Noticed any more movement lately?
Britt- You too?

She is just now getting underneath my ribs and it feels SO strange.. I had forgotten this feeling. She's running out of space in there!
 
Girls can you all check the front page - https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/t...s-red-violets-blue-our-bfps-long-overdue.html Think it's ok :)

I'd hope so! But we'll see. My OB didn't mention c-section yet so I don't want to assume anything. But I hate having all this info (2cm, breech, L&D OB thinks my OB thinks I'll go early, having delivered early before, etc) and not knowing what is going to happen and when lol.

:hugs: I know the circumstances are totally different and not comparable but half the time, I forget how long my 8 year old was at birth or what time she was born lol.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I usually get my hair cut 1-2 times a year depending. It's so worth it to spend the little extra and go to an actual salon and the same stylist.

A little bit. I've noticed some feelings in the evening, usually when I'm sitting up and there's some pressure on my bump. Doesn't feel like gas, but doesn't really feel like the bubbles anymore either...most of the time not sure if I'm really feeling something or just imagining it lol
 
bb-Mine looks fine.

The other day I was telling DW that sometimes they get to kicking down lower (around pubic bone area) and it feels kind of like there are jumping beans in my belly lol It's the weirdest feeling. It also kind of reminds me of this episode of those ER stories. There was one where this guy had air leaking under his skin. His face got all swollen and the nurse would push on it and it kind of popped almost like bubble wrap. It's creepy, but sometimes that's what their low kicks make me think of...lol
My favorite right now is the babies will push out in one spot and I can feel that there is something there. If you push on my stomach when they are doing that stuff you can actually feel body parts move around. It's the craziest thing.
 
Ugh I've been having random/quick tightening in my lower back and bump. Tons of random cervical pains on and off as well. She better be turning or something better be going on in there lol.
 
Morgan- yes! I've been feeling all kinds of movement! This is one active baby! I feel him/her the most in the evenings when i'm laying on the couch!
 
Lol Julie! I love that show!

I looove feeling the body parts like drag by but my absolute favorite is little hiccups! :)
