November Mamas!

in Pregnant after 35
Ok guys, tomorrow is November (AHHHH!!!) and it's time for all the November EDDs to check in! It's the final stretch and we're going to start getting birth stories soon! Don't disappoint us, I know there are more than three of us out there, time to come out from lurking!

Please post the following and let's do a weekly check in this month so we can keep track of everyone, and for the love of Batman please post your birth stories and share pics!! (I hope the following months will follow this trend, the board has been way too quiet.)

1. What is your EDD? Will you go naturally or do you have a planned induction or CS?
2. What's your current status? Any signs/progress yet?
3. Are you feeling more excited or nervous as you get closer?
4. Do you feel ready or do you still have a lot to do before baby arrives?

Ok, GO!!
Me:41, DH:41 Positive for MTHFR mutations- one copy C677T, one copy A1298C. One daughter born on Thanksgiving in 2013. Six losses.

    1. What is your EDD? 11/21  Will you go naturally or do you have a planned induction or CS?  The plan thus far is to go naturally.  No signs right now of needing to be induced or have a CS
    2. What's your current status?  Any signs/progress yet?  Just had my Drs apt. today and cervix is soft but not dilated at all. 
    3. Are you feeling more excited or nervous as you get closer? Nervous.  I was in labor for 3 long and exhausting days when I was pregnant with my daughter.  I DO NOT want to repeat that same experience again.   
    4. Do you feel ready or do you still have a lot to do before baby arrives? I have a ton to do before the baby comes but nothing that can't be done after the baby comes either.  I have no crib at this point (getting a hand me down from my sister's sister in law) but the baby will sleep in our bedroom in a bassinet (which I do have ready to go)  I have no bag packed for the hospital and the baby's clothes still need to be sorted out.  I need to get my crap together,  Nesting....not so much!!! lol

    Due date is supposed to be 11/25, but baby girl will be induced the week before if she doesn't come early. Plan is to try natural but with epi, if labor stalls or is complicated doc has said it may be c-section. No progress yet, random contractions... This is our first baby. And I keep waiting for that last bolt of nesting energy to help get the final baby things done!

    1. What is your EDD? Will you go naturally or do you have a planned induction or CS?
    EDD is 11/12/13 (would love for that to be her birthdate, but know the odds are very slim).  My doctor hasn't said anything about what the plan is yet, so at this point, we'll let nature take it's course.
    2. What's your current status? Any signs/progress yet?
    I think my baby is snug as a bug.  Went to the doctor Wednesday and I'm not dilated, baby hasn't dropped, although my doctor reminded me that could all change very quickly.
    3. Are you feeling more excited or nervous as you get closer?
    Both, this is my first, so I have no idea what to expect. I did wake up this morning and realized that no matter what, even if she's late, we will have a baby by the end of this month.  Holy crap!
    4. Do you feel ready or do you still have a lot to do before baby arrives?
    In my mind, there is a ton to do, and I'm way too exhausted to do any of it!  Pack my bag, finish thank yous, finish baby girls laundry, i guess that's it.  My goal is to get it all done this weekend.

    1. What is your EDD? Will you go naturally or do you have a planned induction or CS?
    EDD is 11/21/13, natural birth planned unless I go past 41 weeks.
    2. What's your current status? Any signs/progress yet?
    Engaged :)...going for NST twice a week, not dilated yet but menstrual- like cramps every day, LO is head-down :)
    3. Are you feeling more excited or nervous as you get closer?
    Both, FTM! Cannot wait to meet our little girl and praying that she is healthy!
    4. Do you feel ready or do you still have a lot to do before baby arrives?
    Still so much to do but we have a lot of help from family/friends so things will get done in time.

    EDD 11-25, possibility of induction at 39 weeks but no solid plan. My dr wants to wait and see.

    Baby is head down. Measuring 6lbs 13oz at 36 1/2 weeks. I am glad this is an estimation and really hope she's not that big, although she definitely feels that big! I tested GBS positive so I will get antibiotics at delivery and they will definitely keep me for 48 hours. I have sporadic contractions that seem to come in phases, get them a couple days in a row then nothing for a couple days. They are getting stronger.

    Both excited and nervous at this point, moments of panic every so often as I realize how close we are!

    I am mostly ready but still have some things on my to do list which I can't seem to find the energy or motivation to do. Feeling a little anxious about that as I know I'm running out of time.

    1. What is your EDD? 11/27 Will you go naturally or do you have a planned induction or CS? CS on 11/22 due to GD and close pregnancies less than 18 months apart
    2. What's your current status? Baby is engaged and weighing about 7.6lbs at 36 weeks. Any signs/progress yet? None officially, but everyone says baby's dropped and they don't expect me to last until 11/22
    3. Are you feeling more excited or nervous as you get closer? Depends on the day. :P
    4. Do you feel ready or do you still have a lot to do before baby arrives?  I still have a lot of nesting left to do, but I'm not sure I have enough time to get it done in.

    1. What is your EDD? Will you go naturally or do you have a planned induction or CS?  11/20, I hope to go naturally, however they have told me they will not let me go past 41 weeks which would put induction on the day  before Thanksgiving. 


    2. What's your current status? Any signs/progress yet?  Two weeks ago I was 30% effaced, no dialation, will have them check again on Tuesday  LOTS of BH.


    3. Are you feeling more excited or nervous as you get closer?  Both, FTM and 3 months shy of 40 when I give birth.  We've been through a lot to get here and are so excited to meet our son!

    4. Do you feel ready or do you still have a lot to do before baby arrives?  Not a ton to do.  Only thing missing from the nursery is the crib mattress, that arrives on Monday.  I haven't packed a bag yet but I'm confident I'll have plenty of time to do that once I'm actually having contractions.  I think we are about as ready as we can be!

    Me 39, DH 40. Married on 9/18/2010 and have been TTC since. IVF # 1-7/13/2012, 15 retreived, 6 fertilized, 2 transferred, 4 frozen.

    1. What is your EDD? Will you go naturally or do you have a planned induction or CS?
    I am due November 30th and will deliver when he decides to come. Plan to ask for the epidural ASAP when things get rolling!


    2. What's your current status? Any signs/progress yet? Just did the Non-stress Test, all is well. Lots of Braxton-Hicks and hip pain but no signs of anything else yet.

    3. Are you feeling more excited or nervous as you get closer? Starting to get nervous now, wondering how the labor and delivery are going to go. Only thing I hope is that I don't have a reason to have a c-section and can deliver a healthy baby boy.

    4. Do you feel ready or do you still have a lot to do before baby arrives?
    Everything is done now, room all set up, hospital bags backed, IPod loaded with songs, car seat ready to go. I keep thinking there is more I should be doing, but just trying to nap a lot, keep my feet up and relax...I'll never had this much free time again! :)
