Congrats everyone!!! So fun catching up on everyone's stories and posts about thinking you might be in labor lol!!! I love it! By next month we will all have babies!
Started pitocin early this morning and they broke my water. Still epidural free for now; the nurses say they are impressed. It helps to move around so I am trying to hold off. Going to try to sleep a bit since I didn't get much last night.

Hi ladies! Yesterday morning I went for my 37 week appointment. I was dilated to a 3 and my doctor said that he is "right there" and measuring 40 weeks so it will probably be any day now! She told us to have lots of sex to get things going and that she doesn't think I'll make it to next week.
So jump ahead a couple hours, hubby and I had sex and I was feeling TONS of pressure in my butt all day yesterday. Contractions started around 2 and went from 20 min apart to 5 min apart by 9:30pm. We went to L&D at 10:00 to find out I had not progressed anymore and contractions slowed down a lot and were a lot less painful after a couple bags of fluids. They sent me home but I am so discouraged we totally thought it was go time!!!
So now we are back home and I'm not contracting today but still have a lot of pressure in my butt area
@hannahh18. I had very similar symptoms the couple of days before I had my daughter! Lots of pressure in the tailbone area. While I was in labor I even said "it hurts really bad in my bottom!" I bet you are close! Hopefully everything picks up again soon!
Just wanted to let everyone know baby is here, we are healthy and oh so happy! I will add our story to the announcements as soon as I have time to collect my thoughts. Thank you all so much for the well wishes, support, and encouragement!
Currently starting pitocin. I came into L&D for a scheduled induction last night. They gave me the cervidil at 6:30 and by 9 baby was under stress. After flipping me into a bunch of different positions they took the cervidil out and decided to let me contract on my own through the night. As of right now little man is looking perfect. They believe one of the longer contractions stressed him out a little too much. Hopefully everything goes as planned with the pitocin and he doesn't have any issues with it. Scared me half to death last night. The nurses weren't talking to us just running around.
At labor and delivery... Bloody show/mucus plug this morning and then contractions started. They've died down a bit, so now I'm waiting to be checked to see if I'm staying or heading home to labor there until things pick back up. My doctor wanted me to head in since I went so fast from 5-10cm with DS1. I'll keep you all posted!
@jamiesc58 Thanks for posting!! I almost forgot. Good luck to everyone else having babies today!! Cant wait to read everyone else's announcements too.. Will post when I can. Great day for babies!
@catlady1027 that happened to us last friday when I was on pitocin. I know it can be scary having them rush in and flip you back and forth while trying not to show you their panic. Hopefully you guys react better to the pitocin than the cervadil and you and your baby have a happy, healthy delivery!
Whoa! I take a morning nap and the board is going wild! Good luck mamas! I can't wait to see your healthy little ones!
