I made dinner last night in hopes of getting gravity on my side, and it definitely made an impact. I spent half the night having irregular contractions, and finally lost some plug. Contractions suck. I got terrible sleep, but they haven't started up again. But I am feeling more confident that I'll have a baby sometime in the next few days, instead of having to evict him. Works for me, I'd like to have this last day off with DH.

Will do! Still no baby, but I've had a few mild contractions today. I'm still betting the little slacker shows in the next couple days.

So excited Mrsk! Keep us informed!
We are doing ok but little lady having some bad trapped wind still and think it's because I have realised that I have oversupply and a forceful letdown. I had no idea squirting boobs wasn't normal I read that it's like trying to drink from a hose on full on your back. making her take in air and choke as she drinks
Trying to pull her off when I think it's letdown (unfortunately I can't feel it) and let it spray onto a muslin or in a tub. Started yesterday as only just found it out from Dr Google so keeping fingers crossed it helps.
Mrsk on the weds night me and dh dtd and Thurs morning I took the dog for a 4 mile walk and I went into labour 2pm that afternoon so it's worth a try

Four miles, wow! I can barely manage moseying through Target these days... I do think I need to get off my butt and get active and it'll make a big difference, but then the contractions start up and freak me out and I'm back on the couch! I need to stop scaring myself and holding myself back, I think. DH is really worried about me overdoing it, too, which is nice but probably not very conducive to labor. We'll be out for an appointment tomorrow and it's supposed to be really nice out, so maybe I'll just really push myself.

I realized I hadn't been on in a few days (I was in sunny CA for my shower) and came hoping for a baby. You must be so ready MrsK! I bet it will be any day. Thinking of you!

I am so ready. I was feeling so patient, but these contractions on and off since Saturday night are driving me insane. They woke me up and forced me out of bed this morning. Be born or don't be born, baby, but make up your damn mind! I have an appointment at 1, I'm definitely asking if a sweep would help.

33cm, 75% effaced, and she did a sweep. Woke up with contractions, sweep seems to have done the job. Probably going to the hospital in about an hour. Whose stupid shitty idea was labor anyway?

So sorry for lack of updates! Phone has been dead and out of reach.
We still have no baby! After about 26 hours of no sleep, no baby, lots of pain, and a total panic at the very aggressive contractions when we tried the breast pump, and finding out I was only at six centimeters, I decided sleep and not being miserable won out over hippie ideals. I've been half asleep on an epidural and a slow pitocin drip most of today, making slow but steady progress. Finally got up to 8cm, so hopefully he shows tonight. I started leaking waters around midnight, and the midwives aren't crazy strict about a 24 hour timeline, but I know there's still a limit. I'm guessing if I'm not closer next check, we may up the pitocin.

Go Mrsk! I am keeping you in my, slightly inebriated, thoughts! Horrible day at work. Client went on crazy train rant in court then spit in my face. FYI, Purel to the face is painful. Thanks for the efforts bailiffs. I am ready for good news!
