  • Officially losing my zen. I can't sleep, everyone is making me crazy with advice and constant checking in, and I am just starting to feel like things are never going to happen. A couple weeks ago I was having a lot of contractions, lately it has been a whole lot of nothing. Aghhhhhh.

  • @LittlePigeon‌ my MIL always calmed me down with reminding me how much easier inside babies are to take care of. They're also a LOT easier on your nipples! ;)

    Just put your phone on airplane mode & take a bath, eat some food, take a shower (much harder now!) and imagine what your baby is going to look like, what characteristics it'll have. If it'll be more like you, or the dad.

    Hopefully you can get some more zen!

  • Wish me luck this morning, zen friends. At the hospital waiting for an ultrasound to check on baby girl, amniotic fluid levels, and the placenta. Hoping all is well! Last time she was measured our LO measured in the 95th percentile for length (DH is pretty tall)... and this 5'2" mommy does NOT want a c-section!

    Good luck today! I am also past the zen point :(

    @NanaCook Congratulations

    Excuse me! I didn't think It would bother anyone that's the way I write.

    Why Do You Feel The Need To Judge Is My Question?

    Seriously?  You're going to be five?

    How does this NOT hurt anyone else's eyes?  And I can't take you seriously.  Go away.


    RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
    You made my wedding day complete.

    Ummm not judging your question, judging your grammatical inabilities.  It makes you look like you're a teeny bopper trying to be an adult.


  • So not zen now...

    Every hour someone is texting me, emailing me, writing on my Facebook page.  I am no longer responding, so now there is a long comments thread on my Facebook page about how I must be in labour and at the hospital.  And Husband's crazy Aunt is confirming it, stating that she has been privileged enough to speak to us already.  Bat Shit Crazy Bitch.  Because we would speak to you before his parents...

    I'm done pretty much everything, so I just shaved my legs while waiting for the induction call.  They don't even give you an appointment here, they have a list that they call at any time during the morning for you to come down and start.  Yay! More anxiety with the thought process of "Will I get the call today?"  Now I know how a failed actress feels like, waiting for a damn callback...

    WTF.
    A-your Facebook aunt is BSC. She needs to calm her titties.
    B- that induction call back sounds TERRIBLE. Although it kind of gives you the same waiting game of going into labor on your own!
    C- good luck!!!!!!

  • I had my baby boy at 10:45 last night after 3+ hours of pushing. Rough night but totally worth it! The cord was wrapped around his neck so he is still in the NICU :(

    Zen, ladies, zen!  If it doesn't jive with you, just let it float away....  Keep the zen going!

  • Had my appt today.  Nothing going on to make the doctor think labor is going to happen anytime soon.  

    My zen is that my numbers are great and baby looks good (BPP and NST) so what will be will be....  

    Next appt is Tuesday and if cervix looks favorable we'll try pitocin, otherwise it will be a RCS on Wednesday.  And right now I'm good with either....just trying to relax and think that this will be the last weekend without a baby!  Glad it's Friday!  

    Happy weekend, y'all!  Odds are some of us will go into labor this weekend, right????

  • So I went in at 3:30, I got checked and nothing had changed, so Cervadil was inserted.  That is not fun!  The Charlie horse that I got as it was going in was much worse though...  If nothing happens now, we are back tomorrow to check dilation.

    The entire time we were there, both my phone (which I ended up turning off) and Husband's were going off from other family members mad that we told BSC Aunt.  Husband put a pretty nasty message on the comments to her.  That was zen-ful!  :D

    All I can think about is that there is an end in sight!

  • You're going home after the Cervadil?  I was told that they will admit me before they give it to me and that once we go in, I'm in.

  • I was hooked up to monitor baby and lack of contractions for half an hour, then got the Cervadil put in. I had to lay on my back for an hour, still hooked up to monitor his heart beat, then I was taken off the monitors and laid there for another hour.
    They sent me home. I am to call every four hours that I am awake, then go back for 3:30. I have no idea if I am getting a second dose or if I will be hooked up for the IV drugs.

    This was suppose to be a zen thread and some how It turned in to hostility. @saisongbird @knipper‌ Ill take the high road and wish both of you a safe and wonderful birth experience. God Bless the both of you. :)
  • Brief update:
    I was out all day Friday getting last min errands done with the husband. I also got a manicure and pedicure to help me relax. Shorty thereafter I started getting menstrual like cramping and it has been non-stop since 4pm. Called my midwife around 7pm she said that I should wait until my contractions were closer together. Woke up at 3:50am with sharp abdomen and lower back pain. Called again around 5am and my midwife said I could come in because contraction have been around 6mins apart and consistent for more than an hour. I decided not to go in and wait for contractions to be 5 Mins apart and last for 90 secs.

    Hopefully labor will be subsequently after.
  • @OhioRiderEsq - CONGRATS!  I'm sorry you didn't have the birth you wanted but at least your little boy is here to snuggle!

  • Woke up at 3 am with some pretty painful gas cramps. Those progressed all night into uncomfortable labour. I called in at 5 for a check up and was told this was all normal. For pain management, I could take a shower or a bath. I waiting until Husband was awake, sent him for bananas, ginger ale, and Popsicles, then he drew me a bath at 10. At 10:30, the hospital called because I missed my call in (it was a lovely bath), lady told me to get out of the bath! I wasn't allowed to be in there with the Cervadil! Crap! So I crawled out of my lovely bath, dried off, went to the bathroom, got dressed. I sat down for a bit, started to get another contraction, so I stood up, and felt this warm trickle run down my leg... I felt like such a loser calling the hospital back. "Yeah, you just called me and chewed me out for having a bath, well stupid question. Could this fluid running down my leg be my water or the tub's?" So I'm back in the hospital. Barely any contractions, waiting to find out if my water broke.
  • Sending out labor vibes! My water broke at Olive Garden (classic) around 1pm. Came in to the birthing center at about 7.30pm. Not very strong contractions yet, mostly just a lot of back pain. Having a NST done now. Wish us luck zen friends!

  • Good labors to @knipper and @LittlePigeon!!

    I walked ~3 miles today hoping for something.  Been drinking my RRL tea all day.  Eating some spicy food for dinner.  Sitting on my yoga ball right now.  DTD with DH last night.  Still not a thing...

    Tomorrow will either be going to prenatal yoga (as the 41 weeker.....I'm sure it will freak everyone out) or head up to IKEA for a couple things (seems like trying to get thru IKEA at 41 weeks is just asking for labor, right??)

    I'm pretty zen because now in my mind Wednesday is the day.  If something happens before then, that would be fantastic, but I'm just trying to focus on Wednesday as the end...
