U.S. Mommies To Be

[luckyme225]

Thanks southerngal. I'm up for the day even though it's 4am because now I'm nervous about baby movements and everything. This is going to be a long couple days I'm sure.

 

[JNA]

Wow I missed alot

Glad your out of the hospital Lucky

SweetMama did you get your sweep?

Thank everyone for the bfing advice. Im clueless until baby get here and I can speak with a consultant lol

Had contractions 4-5 min apart yesterday but not painful. Eventually went in (didn want to have baby at home by myself lol) Dr thought it was false labor but I was 2 cm. Made me walk for 2 hour 2 1/2 cm. Still got sent home bc my contractions weren't painful and labor wasnt moving super fast.

Took 2oz of castor oil and begging for an acupressure session today so I can get some stronger contractions.

Hope it happens soon for you JNA!

 

[lisaf]

keep us posted!!

 

[JNA]

Contractions are kicking in and are REALLY strong. Everytime I have 1 I feel like I need to puke Still not 5 mins apart either. I hope it progresses

 

[lisaf]

JNA - sip small amounts of water after each contraction...
I threw up at the start, middle and near the end of labor, lol

 

[JNA]

Lisa wish I would have read your post earlier
Just puked my brains out. Contractions have been 3-4 min apart. Not painful but more intense than yesterday

Got in the shower and let hot water run over bump. Still contracting but they dont want me to come in until they are painful.

JNA~I hope everything goes smoothly for you... but you know I will secretly hate you for delivering before me (lol, j/k).

I'm up at 2 am, obviously, with just enough b/h contractions to keep me awake and irritate the last nerve I have on this topic. Sigh...

Yes, I did get my sweep, but it was fast, and it obviously didn't work.

 

[Sweet_Mama]

I've been up all night (it's almost 3 am here PST) thinking I have some more darn fake contractions that aren't doing squat because they don't hurt, so I turned off my laptop, went pee, and was about to go to bed when....

MY WATER BROKE!

No doubt about it as it keeps on coming. I'm going to stay here as long as I can or at least until we can get the girls to school in the morning (around 7:30/8 am).

OMG... I'm going to meet my baby today!!

Wow Sweet Mama, good luck today. Hope it all goes smoothly!

Jna, good luck on getting labor started.

 

[southerngal2]

Wow sweet! That's awesome. Good luck!

JNA- Hope things start speeding up for you.

Just to let y'all know, I'm jealous! I haven't even had any b/h contractions!

Good luck sweetmama and JNA. I'm so jealous!!! Due today and I get nothing more than strict bed rest.

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Good luck sweetmama and JNA. I'm so jealous!!! Due today and I get nothing more than strict bed rest.

Happy Due Date. I know it's no consolation because I'd be upset right now if someone due after me delivered first. Big hugs, honey.... it will happen.

 

[southerngal2]

Are you having contractions sweet_mama?

I wouldn't wish being overdue on anyone so I'm excited for you

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Are you having contractions sweet_mama?

Well, not anything consistent. I did just get a call from the OBs office because I missed my GD appmt on Friday and the GD lady couldn't get a hold of me... so I told them my water broke this morning and you'd think I had told them that I was from Mars or something because they just couldn't understand why I had not rushed straight to the hospital, lol. Well, they have now insisted that I go in, I could get an infection blah blah blah... whatever, but I'll go. However, I will NOT let them force pitocin on me or scare me into anything... this ain't my first rodeo and I have not slept one wink all night ... good luck to whoever my nurse is.

I was 6 days overdue with my first, so I do understand. Looooooong days. I'll send some good vibes your way.

 

[southerngal2]

Good luck Sweet! Try to keep us updated while you're there.

 

[luckyme225]

They get all funny when your water break. I didn't call right away because I knew they would make me go straight in and I wasn't having contractions. I freshened up and ate a big pancake breakfast when my water broke last time. Good luck hun, hope you get to avoid pitocin.

 

[southerngal2]

Any updates JNA? Sweet_Mama?

 

[JNA]

Yay SweetMama I hope you have a smooth labor

Lucky here is some more labor dust

No need to be jelous Im in early labor vomiting and pooping with contractions 4 or 5 min apart. They hurt but they are managble. Dr told me to stay home until water breaks or I start bleeding.

Im so sleepy but I cant sleep thanks to the contractions. Im ready to get this over with
