I just realized how boring it's going to be around here this week. Good luck early March/induction week moms!

legallyginger · February 2014

You both might beat me... five hours of pit and no change. Probably no baby until tomorrow.

I'm starving and I want to punch DH for eating the wrap that I more or less forced him to go buy himself.

amdecker1016 · February 2014

@FarmBoysWife i'm sorry your H is being difficult =\
@legallyginger i'm sorry you havent made any progress!! I hope it speeds up soon!

No screaming thankfully. Just people telling her to push harder, and now a crying baby!

It is just definitely a huge SGR moment that I'm next. Wooooo saaaaa.

They just asked her if she wanted to see her placenta and DH and I both immediately looked at each other with matching horrified faces.
Really!?!! I thought the rooms would be sound proof! Now I feel sorry for everyone who was in the hospital when I was in labour, there was a lot of FUUUUUUUUUUCKs screamed, as well as some..,, "colourful" insults screamed at my doctor when he shoved his hand up where I had just pushed a baby out of
Ours isn't, I'm kind of dreading hearing the babies and everything. I'm hoping my body will be ok with music this go round.

My mom was talking with me last night about when I was born, there was no such thing as "private rooms", and she had to share a room with another woman and her baby the entire time she was there. She said it was NEVER quiet.

I am so thankful our hospital has all private rooms. I couldn't imagine sharing while you're trying to recover/take care of a newborn.

Just got back from my appt. baby is head down!!!! I'm so happy I could do cartwheels. (She was breech week 35 and 36) I'm 37w4d. So happy. Things I did all last week: two chiro appts with a dr that does websters, half hour of swimming and diving to touch the bottom of the pool. Rebozo sifting for 2 mins every night (important that when they pull up on the fabric that you feel the release of weight on your back. They should be holding that weight not your back) then right after that I laid on my back with my hips on some firm pillows above my head. Some hot tub time where I laid out belly down and sloshed my belly back and forth. And downward dog when ever I could. Especially which BH. Good luck!

I haven't been able to post any replies now for almost a week. It was driving me nuts, I tried everything I could think of but nothing worked.

So for everyone who has had their babies Congrats, and to everyone hopefully having them soon Good Luck.

I don't have any inductions set as their is no need medically but I don't feel like this baby will make it to March 10th. I'm wanting to make it to the 1st at least but if he decides to come I'm not going to be disappointed.

SomersIsles · February 2014

OMFG. Apparently the MOMENT LO reached full term he decided to go postal on my body. I spent the whole day teaching in EXCRUCIATING pain because of my sciatic nerve... Literally tears welling up in my eyes. FML. this shit CANNOT continue. CANNOT!

The only thing my dr office suggested was physical therapy and I still haven't gotten a call for an appointment.

I thought I had a high threshold for pain... this is humbling.

Ugh!

I'm so crampy from this dang check- i am 90% positive he swept my membranes too.

legallyginger · February 2014

Wow this sucks a lot more than I was expecting.

Still stuck at 2cm despite decently strong contractions for four hours. They took me off the pit and unhooked me from everything to give me a rest. At least this means I get to eat real food!! I start either cervadil or the balloon or both when the next doctor comes on.

@Laura8388 haha oh no... Last time we went in to l&d there was a woman YELLING!!! The nurse's first words were "oh yah she didn't get an epidural" she was down the hall from us... Dh and I just kept looking at each other and I kept saying oh gosh please don't let me do that!!!

I sound exactly like that woman! I went med free twice now so I just yell and curse! There is nothing calm or beautiful about my labor

legallyginger · February 2014

@farmboyswife

I'm not sure why she thought I'd be more favorable. She said I was low and 80%, so maybe that's it.

It was all a dirty pack of lies though.

At least I get Panera. Nom.

@Futuremrstonyasmith Hopefully you get this, didn't want to start a whole new thread. You're the one who was told if you had a c section you had to drop out of nursing school?!?! Jw if you ever got that all figured out, or if you have to keep attending etc until your lo comes... And you won't know until then if you are forced to leave school?!?
I could be wrong, but I think this was @lifeisamiracle ? I was wondering about this too!

Yep that's me. @WisconsinCheese12 I haven't done anything else about it, but I've decided that if it comes down to it, I'm going to fight it. There were some links posted on my thread about me being covered under certain "acts" because my school accepts federal funding. I checked out the links and it seems that my school can't force me to drop out because of a c-section. So I'm definitely not going to go down without a fight! I really hope it doesn't come to that, but it is comforting to know that just in case an emergency happens and I need a c-section.

legallyginger · February 2014

@farmboyswife

Nope. They're letting me rest til 11 and then starting back up. The night doc disagrees with the first doc that I need the balloon/cervadil, he said I'm a 3 and 100%. But, he also seems really eager to break my water, which I declined. I don't want that deadline looming over me, he seems like he'd be all too happy to push me into a section.

/so concludes everyone's update on the state of my vag

And it's not the state of your vag- I asked about your drugs :-\"

I know everyone is secretly wondering about my cervix. Don't try to hide it.

legallyginger · February 2014

Good luck to you too @missanniewc82 ! Hopefully you made lots of progress so you won't be without food for too long.

legallyginger · February 2014

I'm just glad I was forewarned about how gross it really is. Sadly, I didn't get a picture. We will just have to wait for yours. Hope you have your camera!

CruiseGirl28 · February 2014

I have a doctors appointment on Thursday at 430 and then a CPR class at 630. I was talking to DH about what we should have for dinner quickly in between and he said, "Big Macs!!"

I'm on nurse 5 to get my IV started.. I have perfect veins. It makes me wish my mommy was here...

I'm sorry.
I's be freaking on them though.

Anyone else having an almost-constant BH? Feels most uncomfortable when I'm standing/walking, less uncomfortable when I'm sitting. It's not really coming and going like I thought it should be.

Me, unfortunately. They seem to be worse when I sit or lay down. Sometimes I'll time them and they are anywhere from 10-20 minutes apart. It isn't preterm labor though because it's been like this for weeks. I'm so paranoid I won't know when it's the real deal!

amdecker1016 · February 2014

FarmBoysWife said:
I have AH-MAZING veins.. We had 6 total before my IV is finally in. One was all prepped and ready but her hands started shaking. So, she never actually stuck me.

At least she was smart enough to not attempt with shaking hands!

36w check today revealed the cause of my sciatic pain returning. OB wanted to make sure it was a butt in my ribs we were feeling and not his head so she pulled out the ultrasound machine. Apparently while LO is head down, he's slanted (hanging out on a diagonal) with his head hanging out on one side of my pelvis. I'm not concerned and neither is OB but I would like for him to scoot over a bit and just go ahead and drop down where he needs to be sooner than later. I still need to take a moment to google but I'm guessing walking is going to help me out in this area but it's so uncomfortable. Ugh! I'm so done, I wish the calendar would speed up a bit so he could be done too.

@disneyaddict1

How's your pain? Mine came on sorta suddenly and it's just near unbearable. I take a single step, take a breath, take another step, breath... It's ridiculous. I have an appt w my primary and my OB appt Thursday. Did they give you advice? I don't even think I can work anymore... I just want it to stop... I feel like it can be so random.

ProudMommy030614 · February 2014

Random thought about padcicles. I never used them with my first 2 kids I wasn't all that bad after I had them. Didn't make any this time around. Am I a post partum unicorn or just missing out and don't realize it? I haven't had a baby in 8 years and so much has changed...

SomersIsles · February 2014

DisneyAddict1 said:

@SomersIsles My pain is not quite that bad but still constant. I've had sciatic pain before (even pre-pregnancy) and the best thing to do is alternate heat and cold and stretch. Your primary might recommend a Chiro or PT. No experience with PT but a Chiro has always helped me. The only reason I haven't gone back at this point is insurance blows and it's just too expensive.

Thanks! I'm trying everything under the sun! Realistically I think they're going to make me stop working but reassess at each appointment so that if it goes away I can go back. I'm starting to stress about work now to make sure everything is ready. UGH

I never used them either, but with DS I didn't tear, and with the twins I had a small 2nd degree. I just think they'd melt and make a gross mess…

amdecker1016 · February 2014

I guess i really need to get a pediatrician now...
I have like two days.

@wisconsincheese12 i know! I am so going to do this! Although my husbands hospital bag is nothing but food haha i will have some eventually!
@FarmBoysWife thats how my IV looked the other night in L&D. Except it was in my arm and not my hand. Stupid nurse couldnt get one in my hand--i am not looking forward to thursday for this reason!

@amymheidecker they blew out my two good veins in my arms. They sill hurt like a son of a bitch. But 6 nurses and 5 attempts!!!

Yeah, thats ridiculous. Were they all students?

amdecker1016 · February 2014

@Laura8388 or anyone else-
How did you deal with being seperated from your furbaby while you were in the hospital?!
The closer thursday gets the more i start worrying about how much i will miss them!

My BiL will be here so they will be taken care of, but i haven't left them for more than like a day!

Sill worries i know!

AW: Made my last unnecessary baby purchase..=]
We are combining newborn photos with easter photos.

Sorry @FarmBoysWife
Jason Biggs wife has you beat. She put a picture of her placenta on twitter.

I just saw it on the Talk.

SomersIsles · February 2014

@amymheidecker I hate leaving my dog home alone, I'll be super sad. We even bring him on vacations with us!

VanessaBee · February 2014

I got a baby weight guesstimate of 6 1/2 pounds at my appt today. I know it could (probably is!) wildly inaccurate, but it still made me smile! I like getting to hear things about how much he might weigh or how long he'll be, even if they're just guesses.

saisongbird · February 2014

I had my 35 week checkup yesterday, and there was no cervical check done...I've had cervical U/Ss every appt from the beginning until now to check my cervix length, but they said that they don't do them after 34 weeks because they won't stop you if you go into labor. I forgot to ask, but now I'm wondering if they're going to bother with them at all...
