Not quite thread related but the meme reminded me. Last night MH goes "in the last 30 minutes I've started to feel a cold coming on. I'm so bummed." I replied with "hopefully it's just allergies faking you out." "No. I think I know when I'm getting sick and I'm definitely Getting sick." Ugh! Like I have been over here having random contractions and nausea and generally feeling awful all day but a tickle in your throat, let's stop everything! Oh boy. Just had to get that out!
I posted in randoms but I have an appt this am (I'm 40.5 today) so I'm assuming Dr. will set an induction for around Wed. so I'm thinking I'll ask about a membrane sweep and hope!
I posted in the symptoms thread, but I'm heading to labor and delivery to get checked out. I woke up at 5:30 feeling STRONG period cramps and had some spotting too. The period cramps are lasting almost 3 to 4 minutes apart and are ranging from 28 - 45 seconds and it's still happening now and it's 8:44 my time. I'll keep you all posted as soon as I can.
Today is the day! I'm all checked in and waiting on my epidural as soon as the bag of fluid empties. My contractions aren't too painful but they are getting stronger each time. They just broke my water while I was typing this. I had to put my phone down obviously. The crazy thing is I had an appointment yesterday and there was no dilation but when I checked in at 9am this morning I was at a 3 and now I'm at a 4.
Congratulations @luckywife10! I'm glad you only had 15 minutes of pushing and how cute he looks like daddy! Congratulations @CeCe8579! Adorable! I love her name! Congratulations @livin541! Emmett is absolutely precious! Congratulations @erinh2005! I'm glad she came on her own. DD looks like a natural big sister. (Love her name-- it's our girl's name. ) Congratulations @clebl24! He looks so squishy and peaceful! Sorry labor was hard, but you did a great job!
