Re: *~Inside LO check-in~*
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? I'm doing better today. Sorted out some stuff, still waiting to talk to my dr, but feeling good about my decisions.
Rants/raves: I have awesome friends!
When is your next doctor's appointment? Wed, NST and discussing induction
Any induction date set? Just talked to my dr. It's set for Dec 3, but I plan on requesting an exam/NST on Tues the 2nd, and will push back the induction if my body is not ready. The longest they will let me go is the 5th.
Anything else you want to say: My best friend knew her BF was getting serious, so we had a race as to whether she would get engaged, or I would have the baby first. She called me last night, she won! :-D
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? physically awesome, emotionally wrecked. I go back and forth between ugly cry and patiently waiting for my baby to come out. Then guilt because I am being impossible and I am not even overdue! I am having prodromal labor (very real feeling, but not actually labor....)
Rants/raves: Rant - I could have had my baby last Tuesday via c-section
Rave - I was very careful not to gain too much weight and now I am finally just enjoying food as I see fit
When is your next doctor's appointment? Wednesday
Any induction date set? nope, but RCS on 12/3 if I don't go into labor on my own
Anything else you want to say:
I very rarely post anything, but I needed to vent and garner some support from others who 'get it'
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Been sick since 12:45am with indigestion. Throwing up in a trash bucket while sitting on the toilet is no picnic when you're 9 months pregnant. My stomach muscles are killing me now.
When is your next doctor's appointment? Today
Any induction date set? Not allowed to be induced since I've had a csection already. ..
Are you making any plans for Thanksgiving? Don't celebrate holidays
Anything else you want to say: I'm hungry but too scared to eat. It blows
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Blah. Went to triage on Friday night. Was having vision changes and light flashes. Those went away and then my hand and right side of my tongue decided to go numb. Then the flashers came back. Doctors think the baby was playing with my nerves in conjunction with a migraine. Four hours later, I was back out the door. Kind of set the tone of the blahs for the weekend.
Rants/raves: Rave: Hunger Games: Catching Fire was Amazing!!! Rant: I was notified at the end of work day Friday, the temp who was supposed to cover my maternity leave is being pulled for another job...I'm ready to scream...now I'm trying to figure out a plan and I have no idea what to do.
When is your next doctor's appointment? Wednesday am
Any induction date set? Nope, they're going to let it stay in there forever!
Anything else you want to say: I'm seriously doubting that I'm going to be able to stay awake at work today.
ETA: I can't type today.
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Fine physically, emotions are all over the place. I have to try and avoid facebook right now due to the fact that seeing all the baby pics tends to make me cry. I feel like an asshole but it is really hard to be super happy for other friends who are holding their babies already. I know it is temporary but I am super hormonal right now.
Rants/raves: The incessant phone calls of "did you have the baby yet" are driving me nuts.
When is your next doctor's appointment? Today, hoping for some dilation.
Any induction date set? Tonight if my Bishop score supports it, otherwise they will push it back to December 2nd
Anything else you want to say..... PLEASE let me be dilated today.
Baby Oliver born 11/27/13

IUI #2 with trigger, 2/1/13 BFN
IUI #3 with tigger, 2/28/12 BFP EDD 11/21/13
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I'm okay as long as I can get up and move around every once in a while. Sleeping is killing me. I obviously need to sleep, but my hips feel like someone has injected cement into them. Emotionally I keep going back and forth between being SO excited and SO terrified, which I think is pretty normal. I think part of it is because I stopped work on Friday so now I'm truly just waiting.
Rants/raves: All of our family lives 3+ hours away. On Friday were were out getting dinner and my brother texted me which I didn't see because we were in a restaurant. Then he called me, which I didn't notice and he also called DH. By the time I realized he had called (5 minutes after the fact), he had already called my Dad and was like WTF she's at the hospital and hasn't called us?! No, I was eating dinner and hate it when people are on their cell phone's at the table. Someone will let you know when I have the baby, jeez!
When is your next doctor's appointment? Wednesday at 12:30. It's an ultrasound, NST etc. to determine the course of action if she's still inside!
Any induction date set? Not yet, but I suspect there will be on Wednesday if she's not here by then.
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I feel pretty darn good considering that I am nearly 1 week overdue. At times uncomfortable (but that is expected), no BH contractions or major pains....I feel truly blessed with this pregnancy up to this point. Emotionally at my wit's end--no signs of LO arriving! It is making me insane---just want him here already!
Rants/raves: This week I loved going to McDonald's with DH for a McFlurry to satisfy an ice cream craving...can't remember the last time I did that! It was fun. Rant--tired as most ladies are on this thread, of people asking me every 5 minutes if I've had the baby yet/how I'm feeling/blah blah blah. Oh, another MAJOR annoyance--people asking me if I've dilated any?! Even my parents are asking me this! Hello, I don't want to discuss such a personal thing with you! I don't ask how your hemorrhoids/some other personal health issue is doing! WTH?!
Any induction date set? It's looking like tomorrow! Acckkkkk!!!!!
Anything else you want to say: Looks like the light is at the end of the tunnel for most of us! I guess we all just have to do our best to stay sane while waiting for LO's to arrive!!
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Pretty good. I've been working from home the last week, and nixing the commute was key to being more comfortable and awake at the end of the day
Rants/raves: Rant - I'm still working. I'd like to use my vacation days this week but it sounds like a cop-out. Rave - I'm working in my pjs and no one is hounding my phone yet.
When is your next doctor's appointment? Tomorrow afternoon I get an ultrasound and a weekly check-up, and an NST on Friday.
Any induction date set? Nope.
Anything else you want to say: Good luck! And stop watching the clock.
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? I feel huge. In ready for her to be here. I'm an emotional wreck! Crying or mad all the time. I also have trouble sleeping.
Rants/raves: Rant: My grandmother seems to think it's ok to call AND send multiple texts at ONE THIRTY in the morning to ask about diner plans! Wtf grandma! And yes I'm going to get "uppity" with you when I get up so you don't do it again. Your lucky I didn't answer when you called.
Rave My husband has been amazing. My emotions are crazy and he's just rolling with the punches and doing his best to make me feel better. Even when he's exhausted he rubs my back and does anything he can to make me feel better. I really don't give him enough credit. He's so excited too. He keeps saying hie much he wants her to be here. It's really cute!
When is your next doctor's appointment? Friday. I see a different doc so well see how that goes. I'm hoping that I don't make it to that appointment.
Any induction date set? Nope. I'll probably discuss that on Friday.
Are you making any plans for Thanksgiving? Well were pretty sure that I'm not going to have her tonight so to be safe we're celebrating tonight. With my luck though...
Anything else you want to say:MOBILE BUMP SUCKS!
ETA: I forgot a rant. I can handle all the "did you have her yet?"s and "when are you due?"s. People just care. My brother decided to ask me "how many days until you have her?" Wtf? How am I supposed to know? I'm due the 29th so any time between now and two weeks after that. Really dude?! Really?
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Doing pretty well today on both fronts. I really wish I was having any sort of physical sign that LO is on his way as I'm still hoping to avoid induction on Friday... but on the other hand, I could be a LOT more uncomfortable. I'm still sleeping through the night and enjoying that while it lasts. Nervous for the induction Friday and scared I won't be dilated at all.
Rants/raves: Rants- Absolutely zero signs that LO plans to make an appearance anytime soon. I wish there was a way to know if I'm dilated without an exam... blah. Raves- Still getting pretty good sleep at night. Last day of work is this Wednesday and I'm so ready for leave!
When is your next doctor's appointment? Nothing scheduled until my induction Friday.
Any induction date set? Friday 11/29. Hoping to start with Cervidil and if that gets me nowhere (still not dilated, low Bishop score) I'm thinking I will decline to start Pitocin. Not sure how that will go over with my midwife since she is inducing me due to baby possibly being 10lbs...
Anything else you want to say: Any sort of sign that you plan to join us soon would be great, Spencer. Feel free to make your appearance any time! Also... good luck to everyone else waiting on these inside babies!

39w5d
How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Ehh, I'm alright. My knees have been giving out a lot recently, My hips feel like they're hanging on by a thread, just really uncomfortable. Emotionally, I'm okay. I go between getting upset that my LO isn't here yet, to feeling a sense of relief.
Rants/raves:
Rant: I don't know why people ask, "No baby yet?", when I'm standing right in front of them obviously still pregnant.
Rave: My DH is amazing. He has been so awesome through out my whole pregnancy, I can't wait to watch him hold his daughter for the first time.
When is your next doctor's appointment?
It's on Wednesday.

Rants/raves: waiting for labor is so much harder than I expected.
When is your next doctor's appointment? This morning.
Any induction date set? Tomorrow at 5am est pending everything goes well at appt today. Nervous that I'm making the wrong decision to induce but my doctor said its fine and my swelling is so bad I haven't worked since last Wednesday so I'm cutting into time with my baby before I go back to work.

Anything else you want to say: today at my doctor appointment, a woman in the office got horrible news at her 20 week scan. Made me reconsider being such a crabby bitch about being overdue, I am so lucky that she is healthy (just slightly late).
