Was due 8th june, anyone else want to join me in the waiting game?

[callymel]

I was having contractions and crazy back ache thismorning but it seems to have all calmed down again boo!

 

[chicky160]

Nothing my end really, little man is going absolutely crazy today after a couple of quiet days, and I'm having more down there pressure and cm but aside from that not a sausage! I just want to kiss my little miracles face

 

[danielle1984]

yea waiting is tough! I have to admit, I'm extremely jealous of those who had their babies early. Can't wait to see what doctor will say tomorrow morning, at least it's the last one.

Well I think I just lost my whole plug. I've been losing bits and pieces of it on and off since 33 weeks. The pieces have definitely increased in frequency since my strip but never in quantity really. But tonight when I wiped I noticed it felt really slick. After some fiddling I got two huge chunks on my TP. And I'm not talking "hey there's more" I'm talking "woah, that's gotta mean something big!". It was both mesmerizing and disgusting. Lol. I have also noticed a lot more sensations of her bumping against my cervix today. I know sometimes it can still be weeks after losing the plug, but I'm hoping that since ill be 41 weeks tomorrow, it's just a matter of days for me.

Figures too bc my MW wanted to go to a Baseball game tonight about 2 hours away and asked me to call her and let her know if I was feeling any different. I wasn't and told her to go have a good time. So keeping my fingers crossed that it all comes together tomorrow!!

How's everyone else fairing?

Ooh that sounds very promising!

Afm actually feeling lots of pressure! Only the last half hour or so, and not enough to get me excited just yet, but he's really on one tonight and pushing down lots! Good luck!!! hope something starts happening for you soon! Xxx

 

[danielle1984]

I hope those are all positive signs Itsme that it will come very soon.

I just woke up from an hour nap, but felt like I slept for hours really. No sign of anything. talking about mucus plug...I've been losing mine like everyday, but last to two days there is nothing. I wonder if it's because it all came out or what lol. Having no sign of anything is so depressing and frustrating. I don't know what to do anymore, I pretty much given up that he will come out before induction.
No contractions either, so no clue what to expect.

Good luck at your appointment this morning Danielle! Hope you get some good news. Are you getting a last chance sweep?

Any rumblings anywhere else this morning? Nothing new to report here. Officially hit 41 weeks.

 

[greenlady]

Hi guys I haven't forgotten you! I'm gunning for you, team!

Itsme sounds promising!
Danielle no that you mention it my plug tailed off too for a couple of days before labour started so you never know!

I'm joining you at 41 weeks tomorrow

Oh yes! I'm getting another sweep. I read a lot about sweep last night and I'm staying hopeful. If my body is ready for labor and just needs a push that might do it. Fingers crossed for the next 48hours.

What about you? Anything changes? Contractions?

Nope, no changes here. No contractions or anything else exciting. My next appt is tomorrow morning and she'll strip my membranes again. It's rainy today so not much opportunity to get out walking so ill probably spend all day bouncing on my yoga ball.

 

[danielle1984]

Came back from my appointment really disappointed. No change, my cervix is still at 3cm but almost 4cm...75% effaced. Doctor thinks I just need for my water to break. So she made a request for my induction on Friday but they call you on same day to let you know when you come in IF they aren't busy. So technically, if they have a few requests for induction, they pick some and then the rest gets induce the next day.

However, I don't want induction!! I want to go into labour on my own, which still gives me some time. I'm really depending on this sweep to work and making me go into labour. I went for a walk right after my appointment, and now I can't walk lol. I feel like my hips are about to give up. My mom told me she had a dream last night that I called to say I was going to the hospital. She felt it was so real that she ask my dad if I called again to say baby was born. Of course he was all confuse and said I never called lol. She told me to take a bath to relax and have a good nap (cuz I'm not sleeping) and when I wake up I'll be in labour! lol I wish it was that easy to predict, but definitely will listen to her.

Oh I hope it works for you! I can't believe we are still waiting for our babies to come out. Keep us posted on your appointment!

Aw man I hate the hear there was no progress for you. That's one of my fears going in tomorrow is getting that news. Is your baby engaged at all? I don't think I've even dropped yet. I know it can be dangerous for the water to break before the baby is engaged.

I hope the sweep works for you. Will be send some positive vibes your way. It's probably good that you walked after. I didn't after mine and wish I had. Keep us posted.

She didn't mention any numbers but she did say he was low in the pelvis. His head is right behind the pelvis bone. I hope thats a good sign. I did not question her about it.

Yea hopefully that's a good place for baby to be. I have no idea what all the terminology means. My MW didn't mention baby's position at my last appointment. If she doesn't tell me tomorrow I have to try to remember to ask her.

Have you been feeling anything different yet??

Don't mean to jump in here ladies, but I saw that you posted itsme! Just checking in on you sorry about the overdue thing it sucks. I can sympathize for you ladies. I went to 41 1/2 wks with my first and then had to be induced.... So I know how it sucks. Tbh, today is my due date and I am confident that I will be going way past it. I think I will only wait one week though before induction, instead of 10 days like I did last time. I've had enough and it's VERY challenging taking care of my toddler at this point.
Anyhow, just saying hi to me old friend itsme, and I wish ALL of you ladies the best. Hope some labors start naturally for you guys
I will add, if you do have to be induced, it's not the end of the world. I was pissed my first pregnancy too. But in the end, it gets your baby here. And that's really all that matters in the end, holding your healthy, safe, baby don't beat yourself up over something you can't control anyways.

Hey Jules! I've been thinking about you today. I know today's your due date. Yea being a week over really sucks. More than anything it's so emotionally exhausting. I'm hoping something happens here soon. I know at the end having a healthy baby is all that matters, but I'm just so hoping my body does what it's supposed to do.

How are you feeling? Sounds like there's no signs of impending labor for you yet. So sorry Hun.

Yea I feel the same as you Itsme! I really want to go into labor on my own especially now that I know I don't need much to go into it .

The only different feeling that I have is the intense pressure on pelvis and hips. Walking is getting hard to do. But no contractions.

My husband is hoping they call me for induction on Saturday! Please ladies I need your vibes! It has to be Friday. It's his dad's birthday on Saturday and I really really want our son to have this own birthday! Argh!
Plus my doctor is working on Friday, having her do the induction would be great. She did say she'll probably just break my waters since that's all I need to speed things up.

Mmmmm, now ladies what do you think would be "The sign" that makes you go to the hospital: water breaking or regular contractions? What are you hoping for? hehe make all of you start a discussion.

Haha I completely understand wanting your LO to have his own BDay. This past week and this coming week is littered with families bdays. So far we've managed to avoid my MIL's and 2 of my cousins. The 21 and 22 are each some of DHs cousins bdays and I'm PRAYING she doesn't come then for the same reason. Glad I'm not the only one. Lol! And I'll definitely be hoping by Friday at the latest for you!!

For me I think it will be contractions that are about 3 min apart that will bring me in. I want to labor at home as long as possible to avoid medications and interventions. If my water breaks ill let my MW know but would still like to progress out of the hospital if she advises I can. (Ew if that ends up being the awe wouldn't that be pretty messy?) I don't know how engaged Zoey is so for that reason I'd like for contractions to start first rather than water breaking.

Honestly at this point I just want some regular, time-able, undeniable contractions. I've had so many "is this finally the start of them?" moments that fizzle to nothing I could scream from frustration.

 

[itsme122]

How you doing Danielle? You got quiet out there. Hopefully you're pushing out a baby as I type this.
