Anyone due 26-30th April

I'm due the 28th, at this time there hasn't been a sign of labor! Last OBGYN appointment I was 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. I really don't want to be induced as I'm team natural and also team green.
How are you all ladies doing?

Re: Anyone due 26-30th April

  • Due the 30th. On and off random contractions but nothing close to timetable or to be worried about. Was 2cm Tuesday but we all know that doesn't mean much. Not planning any interventions until close to 42 weeks or if baby is not doing well. So hard to be patient!

  • Due the 30th. No signs of labor, but have refused cervical checks to date. Not worried about it! Little guy will come when he wants to. I'm hoping for May 2nd as it is my dad's birthday. :) I am also not looking forward to L&D (I'm scared shitless) but we'll take it as it comes!
  • I'm due on Wednesday, the 30th. Had an accupuncture appointment today to help soften cervix, get contractions going. OB is going to strip my membranes on Monday if I'm dialated enough. It's my first so I'll probably go late but I am really ready to meet this little guy!
  • I'm due 4/30 and at my appointment I learned I was dilated to a 3/4 which was a change from my previous appointment (1cm). I'm team natural w/epi ;) so when my OBoffered to strip my membranes and I accepted, I was slightly surprised at myself. My OB said she'd be surprised to see at my next appointment on 4/29. Now I'm nervous about what happens then. I'm not overdue or even due so this wasn't something I thought Id be worried about. She did mention that he was very posterior??? So?
  • I'm due with my second tomorrow (the 26th). Got checked today for the first time and I'm 1cm 50% and baby is at -2 station. My midwife striped my membranes and thinks I'll go on my own this week. Otherwise they want to schedule an induction for May 3rd. I'm hoping to avoid that.

  • I'm due on the 27th. I am beyond uncomfortable. At my midwife appointment on the 29th I want to have a stretch and sweep. I am hoping for a home birth so the sooner this happens the better.
  • I'm due April 30th as well. I've been at 1cm and 50% effaced for 3weeks now. It's kind of frustrating to not see any changes, so at this point I'm trying some natural induction methods (walking). I want to meet our little guy so bad, but he seems pretty comfy.
  • I'm due 4/30 and so far I've only been 1/2 cm dilated at my past 3 doctors appointments. Rumor has it first babies usually tend to come late. I've tried spicy foods, bumpy car rides, sex, and walking to no avail. I guess he'll just come when he's good and ready.
  • I'm due the 28th. This is my third baby and had my other two at 39w2d and 39w so this is my longest so far. I've been at a 1 and 50% for 2 weeks. I feel like this little one is perfectly happy being an inside baby. Induction date is may 5.

    I'm due 4/28, dilated 2cm, 70% effaced, baby at -2 station. Had my membranes stripped this afternoon but nothing's happening so far - it seems like she's pretty comfy in there...
    Really hoping to avoid an induction, but I have a little while yet so I'm trying not stress over it. Come on, baby girl!

  • April 29- 3cm/90% and had my membranes sweeped today (wow did it hurt badly!!!). I have been cramping all day and had a little spotting. No regular contractions. I can go till may 5 without induction.

  • Due April 30th and was 3 cm dilated. Had my membranes swept yesterday but so far just cramping and discomfort.
  • Due the 28th. Not dilated at all. Just having some upper back pain and uncomfy sleeping at night. Today was my last day at work. I'm also team green and team natural. Let's see...

    Same!!!!

  • I'm due 4/27 and 2cm dilated. She has only mentioned my cervix is coming more anterior with each check, but has said nothing about effacement. I don't even know if that's the same thing or not. Hoping to be able to skip my next appt on 4/29 but who knows. I'm just ready to meet this little girl. Good luck everyone!!

  • I'm due April 29 and am not dilated at all! I am just really uncomfortable all the time. Doctor has talked about inducing at 41 weeks (not what I was hoping for). DH and I are just getting really excited to meet our little girl!
  • I'm due on the 26th (today!) Wednesday I had my membrane swept with no obvious change, no spotting or anything. I was 1 cm and have been for the last 3 weeks. Yesterday I did lose my mucus plug so I'm hopeful that the baby is coming sooner than later. We have an appointment to get another sweep Monday. My OB mentioned scheduling induction for Thursday which I'm going to fight her on. I wouldn't even be 41 weeks yet. So hopefully it doesn't come to that.
  • due 4/29 - I was checked at my appointment Thursday and there was zero dilation, slight thinning but not even enough for doc to give it a percentage! Since the check I had contractions on and off for about 36 hours. but then they stopped. The scheduled and NST for next Wednesday (the 30th). They will let me go all the way until May 13 as long as baby is looking good. Teem green here too, and team all natural.  (I also had my due date moved at around 20 weeks from 4/20 to 4/29 so I am getting really impatient!)

  • Due the 29th.  

    Have been refusing check except for one at 38 week apt.  She asked if she could because she wanted to double check he was head down.  Was 1cm and "very soft" whatever that means. 

    Zippo with anything else.  Am distracting myself with long-ass walks with the dog and lots of squats.  Hoping to go natural.

    Midwives wont discuss induction until 41 weeks.

    Good luck ladies!

  • My due date was yesterday, 04/25. Earlier this week I was 2.5 dilated, mostly effaced, and baby was "very low." However, still no sign of baby. I'm scheduled for an induction on Tuesday morning (my OB is on duty that day for sure). I'm hoping baby comes on her own before then, buy nice to know she'll be here in April either way.

    Good luck to everyone riding in the caboose of the month!

  • Im due 4/27 and have been at 2-3 cm and 70% for two weeks now and the dr doesnt see anything happening. They cant reach my cervix well enough to even try a membrane sweep. I am hoping to go naturally since DD1 was induced but I dont see it happening. We have an appt on May 1st and if we make it that long then we will start discussing induction. Otherwise nothing planned so far. I wish I had a set end date though if this little girl decides to be stubborn like her older sister. Lol.

    Due 4/28 last Tuesday appointment I was dialated to 2 and she didn't say anything about effacement, she stripped my membranes and I had some cramping but no other big "signs". I am BEYOND ready to be done with pregnancy but after the unsuccessful sweep (I got pretty emotional after 48 hrs because I was just sure that it would work and I couldn't wait any longer!) and trying every other home induction trick, I've decided it's useless to stress over it, I have zero control here. Dr will probably strip my membranes again Tuesday then we'll see. Still working and I am really over all of the dumb questions!!

    So, my OB gave me 72 hours after stripping mine but I read that after 48 if it didn't work you would know, is that what you are referring to?

    It's almost over! I'm a 4/30 EDD so, there's always someone here with ya!

    People are annoying tho, I feel the same.

    I'm due the 27th and I had my membranes swept and she stretched me out from 1 cm to 4! She said that I was very close, but only a lot of pressure and random Braxton hicks. This is my second baby and I was told that my mucus plug may just come out in bits with my second. I have had tons of bloody discharge but I hate not knowing if my mucus plug is out or not. I am so ready to go into labor. I won't get induced so praying LO come very soon!
  • I'm going crazy waiting! :/
  • 3 days......please come!!!!!!!!

    So it looks like baby girl is not ready to make her appearance today (her edd). I meet with my OB tomorrow and wondering if she'll try and strip more of my membrane. It hurt so bad the first time that I'm dreading it. We'll see what she says tomorrow.
    Best of luck!

  • Mucus plug out. Check.
    Bloody show. Check.
    Husband still debilitated with kidney stones. Check.

    Going to work today.
    Due tomorrow. I actually am now hoping he stays in till may 1 just to give my DH a few more days to get himself together. My pelvis wishes otherwise. Good luck ladies :)

    Dumb question- can your doctor tell if you lost your mucus plug? Towards the end of this, I'm swear I'm losing patience and intelligence but getting so anxious I can't think straight. Ugh! Get out! Good luck to all of you lovelies!
  • Hang in there ladies:) Now thinking maybe I should've joined the May2014 group LOL! Oh well, hope this baby comes today or tomorrow! Please come baby I'm ready!!!!!
