@corndogrobot cutting those little nails sucks! My husband has always refused to do it haha he's terrified.
Woke up to a really gross plastic/chemical/burning smell, apparently my dishwasher freaked out last night and ran all night on super hot- melted the control panel and filled my house with a nasty smokey fog. I'm bummed that we'll have to replace it but am thankful it didn't start a fire. Scary way to start a Monday morning!
40+4 sick of false labor been dancing all morning and nothing not even a twinge tried sex last nite and a hot bath and nothing I'm so worried about being induced
Due date is tomorrow and sitting here at work.... not doing much because I have already passed along most of my assignments but it's such a pain to wake up and get here in the mornings - my commute is a killer. I might come in tomorrow but then "work from home" the rest of the week if there is still no sign of baby. I just hate the thought of using up maternity leave before baby arrives. I don't want to end up really late and have wasted 2 weeks of my limited time!
Got admitted last night for induction at about 11:30. Baby's heart rate kept dipping somewhat throughout the night so the nurses were hesitant to place Cervidil. Around 8 AM she seemed more stable so the doctor said go ahead with the Cervidil. They are worried about her heart rate dipping too low and her being in distress during active labor, since it was already dipping last night and I was literally just lying down and wasn't having that many contractions. Around noon the doctor will reassess and we will see what our options are, either go ahead with Pitocin or discuss a c section (which they have said they want to avoid but, it might be less stress on baby).
T&P are appreciated! We just want a healthy safe baby no matter how she gets here!
Good luck to all those ladies who are being induced or currently in hospital. 40+3 today and not having a good day. Feeling really low, frustrated and bored. I can't imagine going to 42 weeks but at this rate I feel like I will. I haven't even had any contractions just a few period type pains and thats it. I would even welcome false labour right now haha at least it would perk me up a bit x
@ecloho super excited for you!! Keep us posted! I had contractions yesterday & last night for 7 hours!! They were coming at regular intervals but we're short (30-40 sec for the long ones) and really didn't hurt much. And then at 10:30 last night they just stopped. I got a good night's sleep (prob from being so emotionally exhausted from hoping it would materialize into something) and still am waiting on baby. Still have 3 days til due date, so I know I need to chill. But I've never been pregnant this long, and it is indeed starting to feel long.
Congrats to everyone having babies today! I am 100% jealous of you!
Due date is tomorrow and I am really hoping she will be one of those babies who is actually born on her due date! Otherwise I am hoping she stays in for at least a couple more days since MIL's birthday is on Wednesday and, as much as I love her, I don't want my daughter to have to share her birthday with her (and her twin sister) every year. My husband has actually forbid her to be born on that day, so we will see how that works out. I am just really hoping she decides to be born before this weekend so that I don't have to go to yet another family birthday party and spend the entire time hearing about how I need to "walk the baby out". Trust me, I walked around Target enough this weekend that if I could walk her out of me, I would have by now.
39+4 today. Midwife did hey home visit. She said "this baby isn't coming any time soon." So I guess I might as well get used to the idea of going way late like I did with my first. :-<
