Post here if you haven't had your baby!!!

Re: Post here if you haven't had your baby!!!
No baby here yet.
I'm 3cm dilated and 95% effaced. Crampy, increased discharge and a back ache. Irregular contractions.
OB is doing a membrane sweep on Monday since I'm nearly 100% effaced already.
I don't really get to be in on this fun because I have a c-section scheduled for the 2nd due to a breech baby; however, even though he is scheduled to come the 2nd, he could come before that - theoretically.
Here's what I'm experiencing: increased discharge, cervix pain, losing small parts of my plug (I think).
That's pretty much it. I think he'll stay in until his previously scheduled birthday of next Friday.
I'm due Dec 23rd, and like most of you don't really have anything other than late pregnancy signs :-)
If I had to pick a date, I'd go 27th- my hope that second babies come earlier and my having gone through more late pregnancy discomforts earlier than last time (lots of BH, discharge, lightning crotch, etc) tempered by knowing the odds and admitting wishful thinking. I sure could live with closer to the 16th, though!
No cramps, no BH, no back pain, no sign of labor -- but that doesn't mean too much. I'm also not due until the very end of the month. My mother never had any signs or dilation prior to labor, and her two labors were only 6 hours (a few days past due date) and 4 hours (a few days before due date). Her water never broke, either.
I do have *lots* more colostrum leaking. I could practically store it for later.
BFP 4-19-11. Ezri Ana born on due date, Dec 30 2011!
My Ovulation Chart
Symptoms: cramping, discharge, lower back pain, hip pain. Cervix is still shut tight but LO is head down and pretty low.
Due date is 12/25 but I have a feeling LO will want to stay put until 1/1 or 1/2.
May Siggy Challenge: TV mom
Nothing for me yet, but I'm not due til almost the end of Dec - pretty much around Xmas.
I guess we'll see my progress at my next appt (next week)...I'm curious to find out if my LO is still measuring behind, and what position she's in now because she's been moving around ALL the time for the past few weeks, so it's been hard for me to tell. I don't think I've "dropped" yet though...no pressure whatsoever down anywhere in my pelvis.
The only pregnancy "symptom" I noticed has returned is sleepiness! I haven't felt this sleepy during the day since my 1st tri! Usually I'm awake until about 11:30pm or 12am...now I can barely keep my eyes open at 10...weird.
?Little Love of my Life?
I'm due Dec 1st, so I'm about 9 days away from our EDD, We know if I go late, on day 7 after my due date, my OB will just break my water instead of a medical induction. However, My mom flies in from Australia tomorrow night and I think it would be so awesome if LO came the day after she flew in. So many Thursday? The 25th of November( exactly 39 weeks) DH thinks LO will make his or her appearance on the 27-28th
Also I've had cramping, off and on abdominal tightening, bleeding, Lots and lots of bloody mucus, passing blood clots (membranes) and lots of pressure down below. Fingers Crossed
Due Dec. 26th
I don?t really know the difference between labor signs and just late pregnancy signs, but I have been experiencing BH?s daily, increase discharge, lower back pain, no appetite, more pelvic pressure and lower ligament pain I attribute to her dropping although I don?t think I have dropped much yet. I hope she comes a week early would love for her to come on 12/19, but in all practicality she will probably come 1/1.
At my next dr. appt they check for dilation so I am anxious to see if I am really getting anywhere.

TTC #2
lol @ March.
Me: heavy discharge, cramping, sleeping WAY too much, clingy dogs, pelvic pressure
Baby will come around the 28th
Due 12/18. I predict she'll come on 12/25 just to liven things up.
Labor signs: Cramping, psychotic obsession with to-do list and nesting
I'm due December 21st.
Signs: Braxton Hicks... that's about it. I've been feeling so great this pregnancy compared to my DS. I'm hoping I'll get checked tomorrow at my appt because I'm getting my group b strep test so we'll see.
Prediction: I'm hoping for sometime between the 7th and the 14th. I'm planning on going to my acupuncturist. I'd like to avoid a repeat c-section so I want to go earlier than later.
Due Dec 30...
Just have alot of pressure down low. Doc said week of the 27th, friends are saying the week of the 12th...
Doc says I look big, (have lots of fluid) but will have internal check tomorrow to see what is going on down there.
Doin ok not much cramping or anything...but it is still early, will be 35 weeks on Friday!
Labor signs: Occasional contractions, back pain, increased discharge, exhaustion.
Baby is due Dec 4; I'm predicting Dec 2.
Labor signs: occasional BH, a bit of cramping. That's it.
I have a scheduled c/s in a week and I expect DS will stay put till then. If he makes me miss Thanksgiving I'm putting him in time out as soon as he's born.
No real labor signs - I've had a lot of discharge for the past couple of months so that's nothing new. I did have cramping late last night for about five minutes but it hasn't happened since.
I'm due the 25th am hoping for the 18th (my original due date), but have been measuring behind the whole time so my guess is around the 28th.
Due Dec 9th... I'm thinking right the beg of Dec- maybe the 1st or 2nd.
Been having contractions for the past week or so.., before that never had any. Starting yesterday- HORRIBLE hip/pelvic pain, hard to walk- change sides while in bed, get out of bed, get dressed- you name it.
And starting today- nauseous. :-
Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!!!!
They've been telling me that these babies could be here within an hour for the last month, so who knows!
I've had all sorts of labor symptoms, and even spent 5 days in the hospital for preterm labor at 31 weeks. Two weeks ago I was 3 cm dilated and over 50% effaced. Now that I'm carrying around 10 pounds of baby I'm not quite as worried about going early as I was. It's so hard to breath!
I feel the same way...
I woke up Sunday night chanting...."five more days...five more days...pleeeease....five more days...." while having some deep down contraction pain that sat me up in bed in a panic.
We are cooking for 10 the day after tomorrow....I think I can...I think I can....I think I can...
No baby here!
Due December 22nd, 15th for a medical induction. If I have not made any progress, I"m guessing it will be a LONG induction and she won't arrive until the 17th or so.
Symptoms: Dull period cramps in my ovaries and lower back. Increase in discharge. Crazy insomnia and acid reflux. Severe hip pain.
OMG all of this, and add increased #2 bathroom trips....the cramping today was ALL.DAY.LONG and actually was coming in waves at times, but not really timeable - but definitely enough to stop me in my tracks. I've finally gotten home from work and I'm laying down now, if it doesn't let up I'm going to make a phone call.
I'm due 12/27, but I think I'll be earlier than that, maybe 12/18
No baby yet! No real labor signs besides some uncomfortable BH and random "real" contractions and some back pain that started yesterday.
I predict I will go at 38 or 39 weeks based solely off the fact that my mom went 2-3 weeks early with all her kids and my grandma was early with my mom. But I'm not getting my hopes up either...
EDD: Christmas Day
My guess is Dec 15th, mild BH, the odd really painful but untimeable cramps.... Baby is frank breech still, will find out at my next appt whether a scheduled c section is in my future. I know baby is still breech because that head is STILL crammed up into my ribs.... please baby flip and drop! Mommy wants to breath again!
My son 15 years ago was originally due on Sept 1st, my due date after ultrasound was Aug 26th and I had him the 22nd of August, vaginally with my water breaking on my couch and 15 hours of back labour.
They figured this time around Dec 17th after my original ultrasound, but the fetal assesment at 33ish weeks figured baby at over 5 pounds already.
Oh and my bf figures baby will be late and born on 1/1/12, just in time for me NOT to be able to claim baby on my 2011 taxes :S
Due the 9th:
Tired, with small bursts of energy, lots of BH and occasionally PMS style cramping (mostly when I'm dehydrated), flushed all the time, sore pelvis and back most the time.
I hope the baby doesn't come any earlier than Dec 9th cause we're in the middle of bathroom renos and I want them to be finished when the baby arrives! My prediction Dec 17th (more wishful thinking than anything)
Due December 8th. As of my appointment today, I am "really soft" and almost 3 cm dilated and her head is really low. Other than that I have woken up the last 4 nights with menstrual like cramps but thats about it! Passed my mucous plug about a week ago...
I have no idea when she is going to make her arrival! For some reason I am thinking the very beginning of December but only time will tell!
I'm due 12/20 but I've always had a hunch that baby will come early (like around 38 weeks.) I've been dealing with lots of BH, huge increase in discharge, bowel movements a few times a day, pelvic pressure and lots of swelling down there, pretty sure baby dropped last week, and it's almost scary how good I slept last night...makes me wonder if it means something?
Not sleeping as well, back ache, lots of discharge, BH becoming uncomfortable, some cramping. Been nesting like a fool the past 2 days (whereas it had been a month since I did any type of cleaning...) Had an u/s today and I think the tech measured my cervix so hopefully I will find out if anything is going on down there next Wednesday.
I am due 12/24...I am hoping he comes early on his own. MH predicts 12/28. My mom 12/16. My Dr. said he will induce at 39 weeks if I want...might consider it if I am 'favorable' at that point. I honestly have no idea when he will decide to show up!
Symptoms: Abdominal cramping, pelvic pain, increased BH, increased energy, baby head down.
Delivery Prediction: No idea. I'm hoping sometime between Dec 1 - 15. If the "first hard kick" theory is correct, it will be on Dec 14th.
I am due December 22nd, but i am hoping for the 12th. I think it would be fitting that my munchkin would come on the day I should have been born many many years ago. Her daddy thinks the 17th. Most of my office thinks the 15th.
Symptoms: increased discharge; lots of pressure and BHs;
I am due on 12/25. Nada for labor signs and I'm cool with that. I wish I had some nesting instinct. Just feeling blah!
I am really hoping for the week after Christmas so I can enjoy the holidays with my family and not have to deal with the rookie nurses that will be working over the holidays. And the hospital that I am delivering at is taking a computer system upgrade (part of which I built) next weekend and I want them to know how to use it better before I am a patient there.
