@kfo22‌ soooo jealous. Congrats and good luck!

I've felt crampy and contraction-y all day, hoping something will happen soon. If I hold out till tomorrow, my new health insurance year will start so my hospital bill should be able to be paid with flex. Strange that I'm now hoping that I can hold out until tomorrow, but really nice to feel like I'm making progress.

snarkylibrarian

@kfo22‌ yessss! You can do this mama.

snarkylibrarian

@WildFlower810 Thanks for the encouragement! It feels like this will never end, but in less than two weeks, I will probably have a baby in my arms.

YAY!  That's so exciting!!  No signs of anything here yet, she's got four more days to come on her own before induction.

There's all these threads I'm reading and can't participate in because he's still inside, but I guess we will all be well informed by the time our babies decide they are done baking.

Livingthemommylife

41 weeks and 3 days tomorrow. Getting really tired of texts everyday asking me if I'm still pregnant! I feel like this baby is never coming out on his own! I am anxiously waiting to go into labor naturally. Please tell me I have a good chance of going into spontaneous labor before I hit 42 weeks!

maple1422

It's official, Eli will be a December baby! Considering two weeks ago coworkers began to really press the fact that he wasn't here yet (wasn't even due until Nov. 27) I really didn't wanna have to go to work today. After a 5-Day weekend I can only imagine how many "You're still here?!"s I'm going to get.

@clarasmomma‌ That is a FANTASTIC reply. May I borrow it?

kfo22

Nov 30 11:31, missed that pretty birthstone by half an hour! It went so miraculously well. I can't believe this is real life.

Ladies, go have sex and take a long walk! If I could do this, you all have it in you!

December babies are awesome! (((labor vibes)))

Totally just had a small bloody show guys (: maybe I'll go into labor on my own today and won't have to be induced!

Time to get SD to school, pack my bag, and take a nap!

soulcupcake

@kfo22 Yay! So happy for you! Congratulations, mama! I can't wait to hear more about it! 

kfo22

Thanks everyone! @chesneybrynn‌ That's how mine started!! I wish I had taken a nap. Happy, restful dilation wishes for you

@KUinCBUS‌ Ow. Hope you can find a position with some relief today.

oklahomamom09

@kfo22‌ thank you! This nap thing isn't gunna work lol having contractions every 6-8 minutes doesn't let me fall asleep I'm about to call and see if they want me to come get checked out.

oklahomamom09

I keep thinking I'm gunna go into L&D and they are gunna tell me these are BH contractions and send me home. I'm down to the farthest contractions being 6 minutes apart.. I don't know if I should go or not

oklahomamom09

@LivInCA‌ yesssss they hurt ): I'm in l&d being monitored right now cause I couldn't handle it at home. They were every 3-7 minutes. Idk what they are right now they haven't been back in to check me. Either way I'll have a baby in the next 24 hours, im suppose to be here in the am for induction lol

maple1422

Whose had membrane sweeps and do they warn you ahead of time or just decide on the spot to give it a whirl during a regular appt?

oklahomamom09

@sparkleanne‌ my dr never offered me one. I think they are suppose to ask if you want it done or not.

BethHeyer

My dr offered it to me right before he checked to see if I was dilated. They will do it right when they are checking your cervix. Unfortunately, I was not dilated at my last appt, so they couldn't. Hoping I am dilated at appt Wednesday so they can do the sweep to try to speed it up, otherwise induction Friday evening.

rroberts2140

Scheduled for a RCS tomorrow @ noon. Thoughts & prayers are appreciated...good luck to all our remaining inside mamas if I don't get back for a few days.

oklahomamom09

@rroberts2140‌ t&p to you and LO! Good luck!

theMadRadishes

Kicked out as of noon yesterday. Labor was short and very intense. Guess all that prelabor paid off. Little man is amazing. :x

oklahomamom09

@theMadRadishes‌ congrats!

@KUinCBUS‌ I'm still here for now.. Contractions suck ):

Npetrous

Just got cervix checked, not dilated at all! US scheduled for Thursday, if everything looks ok, induction will be scheduled for Subday. I somehow feel better having an end date!

Congratulations to all the mommas with new babies, and good luck @rroberts2140!!

I've been losing bits of my MP since yesterday and had timeable BH contractions (about 8-10 min. apart) along with some back pain and cramping. This was from 5-10pm, and this morning they are gone. But still hoping that helped me progress a little. I'm 41+4 today and I have an OB appt at 2:45. Hopefully I'll find out when this little man is going to get outta here   I still want to go into labor on my own soon, but if not, having an induction for the third time will make me a pro, so I should be okay in the end

3 days max until I see my little man!

rroberts2140

Thanks, ladies. Waiting in L&D, just need an epi and a Dr and we're ready to roll.

oklahomamom09

I'm out ladies! Once I got here this morning everything went fast and I was dilated to a 10 by 10 after having my waters broken at 8:15. Delivered at 11:40 (:

Livingthemommylife

Congratulations, girls!

I just got back from my appt. I've progressed from 0 dilation to 3 cm woot! I got my induction date for Thursday at 6:00am (way too freaking early for me). I'm hoping I can still go into labor on my own before then but if I don't at least I'm dilated a bit beforehand.

maple1422

Went in at 845 this morning to get a medical leave document faxed so I wouldn't have to go to work anymore (I thought was going to work right up to it; I'm a funny girl) and was offered the gel! I said YES! They hooked up a monitor and Eli showed us how busy he is. Contractions were regular. Around 11 got the prostaglandin and hung out for another hour. Tonight I've gotten the most intense regular contractions yet. That said, they are still mild. I'm hopeful for tomorrow, we go back at 815 for a second round of gel. Even if this isn't "it", it is nice to feel my body progressing. I was only dilated to a one at our appt which I'm not sure even counts, but I'll take what I can get.

Livingthemommylife

A whole night of consistent contractions 9 min apart and still pregnant...gosh, this babe is stubborn.

@sparkleanne‌, any dilation is better than none good luck on your second round today!

Npetrous

If all looks ok tomorrow, my induction will be for Sunday, 12/7!

Livingthemommylife

It seems like there's not many of us left!
