Congrats @Kipperoo! I'm so glad your induction was successful and that Estelle is here and healthy! I hope you're both continuing to do well this morning!
@sweaterboots I saw your post on the birth announcements thread and thought you had a surprise early delivery, but then the page loaded and I realized it was an accidental post. My heart rate definitely spiked for a second there! Glad your baby is still cooking away.
@starphish18@Louise_Belcher I am SO SORRY!! Up all night due to heartburn & GERD shit, I should have known better than to post something as soon as I woke up. Do you know if an Admin can delete? I feel so bad!!
@Kipperoo so many congratulations and sorry for hijacking your annoucement on the labor board! Ugh.
Don't feel bad at all @sweaterboots it is totally something I would do! I instantly got all worry excited (that is a thing now) for you. I was happy it was just a slip of the keyboard and baby is still growing inside.
I'm glad I'm not the only crazy person that got worried about @sweaterboots! Glad to know you're cooking and lord knows I could have/would have done the same thing!
bloody show would look different than slight bleeding after a cervical exam? I had an appointment at 8:45 this morning, she checked my cervix. Went all day nothing. It's now 5:45pm and I have some blood that based on google I would say is "bloody show" like....
@nda_roxybabe "bloody show" I would say would be mucousy like egg white but blood tinged, whereas regular bleeding/spotting should only be mixed with normal CM, if that makes sense?

@nda_roxybabe hmm... maybe not if it's been all day, could be worth a call to check, but if it tapers off to spotting or is a one off thing then I would personally probably just wait and see what happens

@bacorrea Thanks! All good over here just cleaning up the house in prep for new bedroom furniture tomorrow. It was either from my exam today or bloody show, not sure, but I didn't think it was concerning.
@nda_roxybabe bleeding after an exam is super common. I was checked yesterday and didn't have any until today. But I tell people when triaging them that if it's bleeding like a period and you have to wear a pad then you should get it checked out. Other than that be cause your cervix is so vascularized it bleeds a surprising amount as you dilate in labor and as we manually touch it during exams. But of course trust your own body and do whatever you need to for peace of mind
@MrsFreeman2010 Thanks! This isn't enough for a pad or anything, just kind of there when I wipe and it's tapered off from that first time when I noticed the small clots.
@PartiallyDomesticated from what I understand from our classes they are timed from the start of one to the start of the next one for how far apart. Length is timed from when it starts to when it ends. Does that make sense? It looks weird to me...
@absbubbs that what we were just told Thursday. Also, if you're a big fan of apps on your phone, they have one for that! Haha H was going to look them up because he doesn't have a watch with a second hand. I said he could use mine but he likes new things so he may get the app and I'll have to use my watch if he isn't here unless the app is easier to use!
