Happy Mothers Day!!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

I had some red bleeding last night. Not enough to freak out, but enough so that I wiped full of it every time I went potty. Still there this morning, but a bit lighter. Tons of pressure. Contractions until 3 am then I finally fell asleep. I'd feel really awful if I deliver before Lisa. Thinking of you today, Lisa. You have my number.

 

[lisaf]

well we're heading to the hospital since I might be leaking amniotic fluid...
Basically I went to the bathroom, the bleeding was almost gone (whew) but when I pushed, it felt like I peed a little out of my vagina.. lol..
Anyway, with the bleeding having been so watery, we just want to get checked to be sure.

Of course they'll admit me if it is amniotic fluid and I'll get put on antibiotics and they'll start to push pitocin on me... so I'm sort of hoping its not (though if it was, then we could get this show on the road I guess).

Lol.. feel free to deliver whenever you want Sweet Mama!

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Yay for heading to the hospital, Lisa. Don't forget my number. Good luck.


afm, it all stopped? BUT... I checked my cervix and if I could get three fingers up there then I bet I could get them all in... weird feeling. I think it's still long though.

Good luck Lisa and Sweet Mama!

Happy Mothers' Day to all the moms and moms-to-be!

 

[MissFox]

Hope this is it for you girls!!!

 

[lisaf]

well I'm back home! No amniotic fluids present so I got released Actually quite happy about that, lol!
I am having contractions but not very regularly. I'm still only 3cm dilated, 70% effaced etc..
Bleeding is normal levels too so it was worth going in just to get reassured on all those fronts!

SweetMama - I tried to check my cervix the other day and couldn't even get to it, lol.. everything was just so squished/tight down there

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Lisa, I'm glad they didn't just try to keep you and push pitocin. It will be soon.

You know, after the SIX (6) babies I've had, it's not so all tight and squished up in there, lmao, so I guess mine was a bit easier to get to.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Glad they didnt try to keep you at the hospital LisaF! Hows the relaxing and being lazy been going?

SweetMama I guess 6 kids can make checking your cervix easy

Im scared to stick anything up there. When I got my cervix checked the other day it actually hurt. For some reason I thought it would be a gentle process (for pete sake theres a baby up there)

No contractions over here but some crampyness (sign of cervix ripening )

Ordering Clary Sage right now I refuse to reach 41 weeks pregnant lol

 

[lisaf]

lol.. this cervical check hurt the WORST of them all...nurse had short fingers and it felt like she shoved her whole HAND up there

not too lazy here.. having a few contractions but not bothering to time them, lol... DH dragged my lazy butt on a walk which KILLED my back.. had a few contractions while on the walk which is good I guess?

 

[Sweet_Mama]

The only thing I can think about at the moment is how much I want some Mango Habanero Hot Wings from Buffalo Wings and Things.... Mmmmm... and yes, I can eat them and be totally okay, no heartburn, nothing. I really, REALLY want some.

I had a nap, mostly. I've decided I'm not going to work tomorrow, but will call my doc and ask if I can come by and be checked in the morning (assuming nothing happens tonight).

 

[luckyme225]

I can't find my cervix either Lisa. Which is strange because I checked daily during TTC and could always find it even when it was very high.

I'm having contractions but i don't imagine I will be having my Mother's Day baby. I'm sure it's just contractions left over from doing some nipple stimulation earlier today.

My husband is too cute, he bought a portable table for my laptop so i can sit on my ball comfortably while watching TV and being online. He also got me a bag of caramel kisses and we had Mongolian for dinner. So even though no baby it was still a nice day.

 

[Sweet_Mama]

That sounds like a lovely day. Yeah, the nipple stimulation would always peter out for me but then pick up a day or two later with labor. I never had a birthing ball though.

So... should I WANT to be in labor now? It seems my body is making those preparations, but I have not done anything to help it along. Should I? Opinions please?

 

[lisaf]

totally jealous of your computer desk/table, lol!!

SweetMama --- not sure what to say.. it all depends on if she's ready or not, right? You're almost 37 weeks which is almost full-term.. you're having a girl, right? Aren't they more likely to be ready early than boys?
I know that I wasn't ready to have this guy early so I wouldn't have encouraged labor early.. but if it happens, it happens, right?

 

[luckyme225]

sweetmama- I agree with Lisa, at this point if it happens, it happens. Probably means LO was ready to come. I would probably wait until your 37 weeks to encourage it though, just in case.

 

[lisaf]

lol.. baby HATES these contractions.. between them he kicks up a storm

 

[luckyme225]

Mines been pretty quiet through my contractions. Could be because he's in a sleep induced coma from the big dinner/ dessert I had.

 

[lisaf]

lol...
Well I just had a pretty icky contraction a few minutes ago.. I was whining and moaning out loud. DH calls out from his office 'can you keep it down out there'.. .totally as a joke, which I happen to find funny, but apparently not during a contraction because telling DH to F off made the contraction worse

 

[JNA]

Lucky sounds like you had a wonderful Mothers Day

Lisa if my nurse has small hand/ short fingers I will ask for another one lol I want to be as comfy as possible while in hospital

SweetMama I know how you feel about wanting or not wanting to be in labor. If lo want to come early by herself then good if shes ready. But im kicking Kaliyah out 40.3 lol

Had a big dinner with my baby sis and still eating a chocolate lava cake from dominos (btw its 10 pm here) Have dr appointment at 2 tomorrow and the office is across the street from Dunkin Donuts!!!
