Still waiting and hoping...

Alright, this is probably very boring, but I feel better when I write it out, so read if you like, but otherwise you can skip this :)    

After a night of contractions on Friday, that went away in the morning, I've had a weekend of frustratingly feeling fine.   Then last night  I had another evening of cramping with some contractions (which is how it started on Friday).  They started to get lighter, and I fell asleep around midnight.  At 1:30 I woke up to pee, had 2 strong contractions, and then the whole thing stopped completely.  Argh.  

This morning I made my H have sex with me.  I've had some bleeding since then, and what looked just like my mucus plug tinged with blood (which I've been losing for a week), but I suppose could just have been leftovers?   I hope that this gets things started!!!!  

Anyone else want to vent about all the weird things happening with your body, without actually putting you into labor?

    I have been having contractions on and off too for the past week. Sunday I was almost sure it was it I had them for three hours and then they just stopped. I had my membranes swept this morning so I am hoping that will move things right along. But I am very frustrated and ready to get this baby going. To top it off I have PUPPPS and cannot stop scratching for the life of me. It is so gross. Hang in there it can't be to much longer.

    I had some contractions on Saturday and overall, I just felt kind of tired and yucky.  Yesterday and today I have had the worst sour stomach - very unusual for me.  I've had heartburn since 2nd tri but it's been totally under control with a perscription that doc gave me about 8 weeks ago.  Now it's just this constant feeling of uneasiness and nothing seems to help.

    So, no tried and true labor signs but I have a feeling that she is getting closer.  I just feel different -but it's hard to explain.

    I was wondering how you were doing! I hadn't seen you post since the initial post on Friday, so I was hoping you had your baby!

    I've been having crazy lightening crotch all weekend, like non-stop baby keeps PUSHING REALLY HARD on my cervix like he/she wants to get out. I'm going in today for another internal exam and hoping that things have progressed. Was 3 cm, 80% last Monday and they didn't think I would make it to today...

    Try walking, sitting on an exercise ball, eat some pineapple, have some more sex, drink some red raspberry leaf tea, etc. I am only willing to try "natural" induction methods- castor oil? No thanks!

    Since you asked....

    I am just so sick of braxton hicks contractions.  I honestly would be a-ok if a crystal ball told me that I wouldn't have this baby until 41, 42 weeks. I really would.

     But the braxton hicks contrax just get me all excited.... analytical....staying up late to time contractions that do nothing.  It reminds me of the 2 week wait when I was trying to conceive.  It's enough to make me looney.

    This for me as well.  I go in for an appt today to see if anything has changed since last Monday I was 2cm and 50% effaced.  

     The worst was Sat night.  I thought for sure with out a doubt I was going into labor .  I had pains... maybe they were contractions???  from midnight till 5am.  They were not on a timetable and not super duper painful or the pain didn't increase.  Then all of a sudden they just stopped.   uuuugggghhh!  how frustrating.  I can't wait to tell my hubby, I think it's time!!

    Ooo I've eaten a pineapple on my own over the last 2 days, squatted, walked, made one really bad attempt at sex- I'm just too big at this point!, and I baked a chocolate induction cake that did not work to say the least. This is #3 for me- you'd think I'd have this down by now but I don't! It's true- every pregnancy really is different! 3 weeks ago I told dh to pack his bag bc we were going in that night.... HA! Right now I'm at 180 lbs, and induction is set for tomorrow. I'm the queen of "inductions are great!" bc I had a great induction w/ #1, but after reading about the experiences of other women on this board, I've now scared the bejesus out of myself. I can't wait any longer on my own though bc of my work schedule-boo! Ready or not here we come! Praying for another successful induction!'wish me luck :) oh and as of wed. afternoon - zero progress, at all. my doc's words were " where is your cervix?? oh wait, yeah, maybe a 1/2 cm and not really effaced..." I feel like Brad Paisley in Waiting on a Woman - what can I say, she takes after her mama!

    At my 39 week appt my doc couldn't find my cervix at all! Baby is still too high. 4 days to go until my due date and I'm fine with going past it. I'm just nervous that since there is no progress yet he won't come on his own and doc will want to induce. It helps to hear everyone else's frustration too, misery loves company I guess.  Thanks ladies! Good luck to everyone.

    It is so frustrating! I have been having contractions on and off all day but they are in my lower back-I have not had that feeling before. They get really intense and then ease up for an hour or so. I wish it would just stop or get going....argghhh! Hope your labor comes soon!

    I'm still waiting as well. Last appointment I was told "Even if you wanted to be induced, we couldn't do it." I'm apparently non-induce-able at this point. :) I have another appointment tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.

    To make matters worse, I haven't had a single contraction, haven't felt too uncomfortable, nothing. Just truckin' along...
