***Past Your Due Date Check-in Tuesday Edition***

in June 2014 Moms
Since every day feels like an eternity now, I thought I would try to make this a daily check-in. 

1) How far past your due date are you?
2) Trying anything to induce labor?
3) How are you feeling/ symptoms?
4) Upcoming or recent appointments?
5) GTKY: What's baby's name going to be?  How did you pick it?

Hang in there ladies!!!

 

IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.

    1) How far past your due date are you?  6 days
    2) Trying anything to induce labor?  Lots of sex but it's not working.
    3) How are you feeling/ symptoms?  Feeling good actually.
    4) Upcoming or recent appointments?  Had a NST this morning.  All is good.  Baby is being evicted tomorrow or Thursday, depending on how long it takes the induction to work tomorrow.
    5) GTKY: What's baby's name going to be?  How did you pick it?  We are keeping her name to ourselves until she's born and I'm afraid to post here until she's born in case I have any internet stalkers....never know with my crazy family!

    1) due today, but posting anyway due to my disappointment from Being told I would probably go early and from ultrasounds putting my due date at 6/5

    2) I feel like i have tried almost everything, walking, sex, massage, spicy food, basically any food anyone says out them into labor. Had my membranes swept this morning.

    3) I feel sad. I have false labor almost every day. I don't sleep and I just want the baby out but then I feel guilty because of course I want her to cook as long as she needs and to be safe and healthy.

    4) I had an nst and regular appointment today. Still 2cm and "stretchy" but long. Have to go back Friday for another appointment/nst. If no baby by next Tuesday, induction.

    5) dh and I had the name picked out since we were in high school. Not posting it though since we are trying to keep it to ourselves til baby comes.

    @snuff9861 i think the movements are just different now. i agree with @sarahgene61887 that it just feels like baby boy has much less room to move around and kick. i still feel him regularly though. i go to NST twice a week to check in on him now.  have you done those yet?

    @snuff9861 i wouldnt worry as long as you are feeling movement each day. the movements have definitely decreased over here and my NST appts are all normal.  baby is just running out of room!

    No past my due date yet but just checking in to see how you ladies are doing - thinking of you all and hoping LO's come soon!

     

    @snuff9861 - I am a few weeks behind you but noticed decreased movements lately.  I was posting about it in the AW/SS thread.  Dr. said it was normal for LO to have more sleep cycles the closer you get to delivery, so I think it's very normal.  And my movements are definitely not as strong, either, I think it is the 'running out of space' thing. 

    So FWIW you're not alone, although I totally wouldn't judge anyone for calling in to see the doctor if they were nervous about it, either.

    1) How far past your due date are you? 2 days now.
    2) Trying anything to induce labor? Not yet. They told me FTMs tend to go a week over so I figure he will come when he comes.  Once we get closer to the week mark I might start trying stuff.
    3) How are you feeling/ symptoms? I really hit a wall yesterday.  I started having all kinds of pain I've never had before- front of my hips, back of my hips, back, etc.  I totally cried before I went to bed last night.  But I got a decent night's sleep and feel better today.
    4) Upcoming or recent appointments? Not until Thurs.
    5) GTKY: What's baby's name going to be?  How did you pick it? We are still undecided but we've narrowed it down to 2 options.  I am fairly certain we know which one it will be but I kind of want to meet him first before we make a final decision.

    Hang in there ladies!!!

    @snuff9861 - I have definitely noticed decreased movements the last week or two.  She still moves but it's mainly her kicking me and trying to stretch out.  No huge movements like I used to feel.

    This is a great idea! I haven't been on as much cause the birth stories are bumming me out. I feel so behind!

    1. A week past
    2. Tried sex which did nothing & I walk a lot with my dog everyday so I'm keeping that up. Oh, and today I started doing a lot of squats.
    3. I've had absolutely no signs that labor is happening soon. Today I've felt some tightening but it's probably just gas, ha.
    4. Had a NST/ultrasound/internal exam yesterday, baby is fine but I wasn't contracting or dialated at all. Next appointment is tomorrow & then induction will be scheduled for Monday.
    5. Emily.. I just liked it.

    2) Trying anything to induce labor? I've done it all, minus the castor oil. 

    3) How are you feeling/ symptoms? I feel awful today. I was up all night with contractions that didn't progress. And I overdid the walking yesterday and now I'm essentially crippled with my SPD pain. Today sucks.

    4) Upcoming or recent appointments? OB appt Thursday.

    5) GTKY: What's baby's name going to be?  How did you pick it? We're team green so first we have to find out what LO is.
    Did you try evening primrose oil?  My childbirth instructor recommended it and I'm thinking about going out & buying some today.

    I've also had decreased "big" movements and just have little arm & leg jabs now.  They said this was normal.  We had a 3d/4d ultrasound a few weeks ago and our little boy was totally smushed!!!  I would think he would want to come out asap!
    TTC since 2010.
    IF since 2011.
    MTHFR gene, Endo
    Clomid, Letrozole, Gonal-F, Ovidrel, Progesterone.
    14 IUI. 8 Single insemination cycles, 6 doubles.
    2 early losses.
    Oct. 6, 2013- BFP!

    1) How far past your due date are you?
    6 or 7 days. 
    2) Trying anything to induce labor?
    Membrane sweep (had one at 40w2d and another today), sex, orgasm, lots of walking, stair climbing, spicy food, pineapple
    3) How are you feeling/ symptoms?
    Physically okay.  I'm tired by the end of the day and have hip pain, but other than that pretty good actually.  Mentally I am starting to break down- just so frustrated and emotional.  Ugh.
    4) Upcoming or recent appointments?
    Had one this a.m. with NST.  Baby and I are fine.  I'm still 3 cm and soft but "thick".  Scheduled induction for Monday a.m. (41w6d) if baby hasn't come before then.
    5) GTKY: What's baby's name going to be?  How did you pick it?
    Our boy name is James Alan, after FIL and my dad, respectively, and because we just plain like both names as being traditional and masculine.  Our girl name is June Patricia.  This will be our first non-May baby so June seemed appropriate, and we just really like how it's traditional, sweet and simple.  For whatever reason I also really wanted a one-syllable name for our third- kind of like the period at the end of our sibset.  Patricia is my mom's name so that is to honor her.

    1) How far past your due date are you? I am 2 days past my due date today

    2) Trying anything to induce labor? not really, acupuncture to help him move down more, eating spicy food and pineapple, excercise, the usual.

    3) How are you feeling/ symptoms? I am actually feeling pretty good which makes me discouraged. I feel like so many women say they were more than ready to be done being pregnant when they finally went into labor.. I am afraid baby and I are too comfortable still lol

    4) Upcoming or recent appointments? Had an appointment yesterday. I am seeing a midwife and she doesn't check everytime so I am not sure how things are going down there but baby is still has to move down a bit.. otherwise everything is going well!

    5) GTKY: What's baby's name going to be?  How did you pick it? Dominic. We were torn between that and Josiah but when we went to find out the gender we got a 4D ultrasound and when hubby saw him he knew he was dominic :)
