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

[danielle1984]

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

Haha I wish! But nope, I've been working hard. I went for 4 short walks (10-15 minutes each), bounce three times for 10 minutes each on ball and went up and down the stairs. Any contractions? None! This is crazy lol nothing is working.

How about you? Good luck at your appointment!

Aw darn it! Well maybe something will get going over night.
I can't sleep. Woke up at 2am to pee and it's now 4:45. I hate not sleeping well when I want so badly to get rest before the big day.
I'm both excited for and dreading my appointment. Afraid I'll have made no progress and she'll do another strip to no avail but Ill get my hopes all up anyway. Honestly I think that's part of why I can't sleep. Minor anxiety over it. Ugh no fun.

Hopefully this one will work for you. I find sleeping can be hard lately so many things to think about.

Well nothing on my end. Still have 24 hours to see, as long that I have him before Friday, I'll be happy. Since sweep I started losing mucus again!! Its usually clear or white but this time its yellowish. Is that suppose to be a good or bad sign? I think I'll take it easy today and just go for one walk. Everything I did yesterday did nothing so no point of exhausting myself I guess.

Well no cervical changes today.
Machine was picking up slightly stronger contractions than last week, but I don't know if they were legitimate ones or just Braxton hicks. She passed her non stress test and I go back at 1 for another ultrasound to check fluids. She also said she's "not very engaged at all".

I also got the news that my MW will be leaving for her brothers surgery tomorrow afternoon and will be gone until Mon! Ack!

She stripped my membranes again and told me to have the baby tonight. Lol. Idk about the color of the mucus but I've noticed since I lost that big plug (which was tinged with blood) I've been having yellowish stringy mucus stuff since then. So I hope it's a good sign.

I'm feeling pretty defeated today though. Especially on top of my MW possibly not being able to be there. One of the big factors of me selecting her was how great she was in the delivery room.

Baby Zoey PLEASE come tonight!!

 

[danielle1984]

Hopefully she will Itsme!! Wow, how stressful that she's going away and you might go into labor anytime now. Go for a long walk! Argh, which is hard to do after getting strip! It's so sore down south because of it. Good luck, I'm sending you vibes!

Thanks Danielle. My DH is going to use some pressure points today to try to encourage some good contractions. I think he can tell how bummed out I am. I know what you mean about being sore after a strip. Today's didn't feel as uncomfortable as the first one did but my lady bits still feel so beat and violated from it. Lol. It's another rainy day here so I might have to go to a mall to walk or just settle for the yoga ball.

How is everyone else in here doing?

 

[greenlady]

Itsme I hope Zooey comes tonight or waits until your MW is back!! Come on girl!

Danielle how are you feeling? I know he waiting has been hard on you. I am so hoping to check this thread and find you spontaneously in labour. I do also think you will have a simple induction anyway with your cervix all raring to go like that.

Good luck everyone else, I got to 41 weeks and every day after 40 felt like week in itself so i know how you feel!

I'm ok I guess. I spend most of the day with a friend and her 9 months old boy. Our sons will play together for sure! So excited about the idea. It felt good to keep myself busy. But still no signs of labor. I think that either it will come quickly without any warnings or I'll get induce. I'm ok with the induction, as long that it's Friday and not Saturday

Aw sounds like a nice day. How great to have someone for your LO to play with.

I also think labor will end up just hitting me like a Mack truck out of nowhere. Spent the afternoon after my strip walking around the mall. Got regular cramps and contractions all afternoon. DH and I just finished seeing Man of Steel (awesome movie btw) and my contractions have been continuing into the night. I haven't bothered timing them yet as they haven't increased in intensity. So I'm not allowing myself to get excited until I'm in some serious pain. In fact I laid down a few minutes ago and they seemed to have stopped. So it looks like more fake outs for me.

 

[danielle1984]

Fake contractions sounds so annoying!! I remember Greenlady having them too. Only time I had them was last Friday and like yours they stopped. I haven't had any since then. We wanted to go to the movie to watch man of steel! But I can't seem to sit down very long : (

Well no good news here. Actually woke up around 4:30 am devastated that the contractions didn't pick up. I guess I was putting more hope in them being real than I realized. Had myself a good cry when I realized that no matter how it goes at this point, my labor just will absolutely not work out the way I was hoping. Even if I go today, my MW will have to leave I'm sure before I would deliver. And if I go naturally this week, I'll have a stranger delivering her. If I hang in until 42 weeks and end up having to be induced, that decision wouldn't be made until MW gets back on the 24th, which is the date my Mom has to leave town. I really want her to be there as this is her first Grandchild, and I am an only child. So it's really important to both of us. Plus, as great and supportive as my DH is, he was also looking forward to having her there to help in the delivery room as he doesn't do gross stuff well. lol.

Ugh I hate this!

Any action anywhere else?

 

[danielle1984]

Oh no! Hopefully you'll have her before your mom leaves. I know you really want your MW to be there, but as long that baby comes out and everything goes well. If you can at least have your mom there, she'll be able to put you at ease.

I have 1/12 chances my doctor delivers mine, and I know she's only at the hospital this friday.
So far, no sign of labor coming. Still no contractions.

Sorry Danielle.
This seriously sucks. I honestly thought she'd be here by now. Is this your first?

Yes, first baby...maybe the only one too. Our future is too cloudy to know what we'll do.
I think we were both hoping our babies would be here by now. Waiting is terrible.

 

[Julesillini8]

Hugs ladies! Hope some labors start soon for you guys.

 

[greenlady]

come on babies !!!

 

[danielle1984]

Still no sign! So frustrating. Induction is suppose to be tomorrow.

 

[itsme122]

No sign here either sadly. Still get annoying random contractions that do nothing but screw with my head.

Almost hit a new level of desperation last night and did castor oil. Went and bought it and everything. But my gut was really telling me not to mess with it. So I'm taking it back today. Will be going in for more monitoring tomorrow morning and MW will have me come back Tuesday for another US. So far she still has not mentioned inductions so I'm going to see how long she'll let me go. Glad she's monitoring so closely though.

Danielle when will you know if your induction can happen tomorrow? Will they wait until the day of to call you? I know your hoping for Fri and not Sat so I hope they can get you in!!

Oh I felt that desperate too and almost went to buy Castor Oil!! But didn't. We will find out on same day (Friday) if we go in for induction. They will call and tell me to come in right away. We have to be ready then, it could be at any time which is kind of annoying, I'll be twice at nervous about the whole thing. I'm allowed to call them and ask where I am on the list. I really hope they call me tomorrow morning.

I can't believe I'm this far in pregnancy and I'm not getting any contractions. Isn't that odd?

 

[itsme122]

Ugh I'd hate to have to wait until the day of to know! I hope you get the news early. Definitely update me when you find out.

So what happened to everyone else waiting for their babies in here?
