KimSwan · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you?
5

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling?
I have a lot of back and pelvic pain and trouble sleeping. Tons of swelling. I'm over all just super uncomfortable.

3) Appointments?
We have one on Wednesday for the ultrasound and NST

4) Doing anything to induce labor?
Nipple stimulation, red raspberry leaf, evening prime rose oil, pineapple, acupressure, walking (as much as my back can handle it), and bouncing on my ball.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? These days all I want is ice cream in milk, but I did try to entice her to come out with a birthday cake we ended up eating yesterday so it wouldn't go bad... Boxed vanilla cake with strawberry icing. I put blueberries between the layers and on top and swirled the batter with green sprinkles.

PressLove · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you? 2

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Sleep was elusive last night, so I'm not my chipper self.

3) Appointments? NST and sweep on Tuesday

4) Doing anything to induce labor? After getting DH to try some of my induction techniques last night, I ended up with a bunch of cramps but no contractions. I think I'll lay off that today.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Bonus points for the recipe! I love sweets! I guess cake would be my favorite. Here is the link to my go-to Too Much Chocolate cake. It's a super easy cheat cake (I usually bake from scratch) that gets requested all the time.

whoberry · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you? EIGHT! Eight is not great.
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Slightly more miserable today. I think the baby dropped further yesterday afternoon b/c I have more hip pain and my waddle has gotten even worse. Today is DH's birthday so he's really hoping for baby today.
3) Appointments? Had an NST and U/S this morning. Everything looked great. My amniotic fluid levels were on the high end of normal, but still normal. Next appt is on Thursday.
4) Doing anything to induce labor? DTD, spicy food, bounced on ball. Might try castor oil once I talk to the midwife and get their recipe.
5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Bonus points for the recipe! Pretty much anything that has chocolate in it and I love cheesecake. I also make these 7 layer magic cookie bars a lot around the holidays (without the nuts) and they are really popular, delicious and easy to make.

kbellizio3 · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you?
2

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling?
Cramps, backache, a couple contractions here and there. I'm really uncomfortable

3) Appointments?
Had one today for an NST and I have another on Wednesday for the same thing, I'm not ready to be induced yet (which bums me out because I'm anxious but I'm glad my doctors aren't induction happy)

4) Doing anything to induce labor?
Nope. Tried most of it and it didn't work

5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Bonus points for the recipe!
I will eat almost anything dessert related. But pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream is where it's at!

Good luck with your inductions ladies!

esk75 · June 2014

9 days overdue!! Ugh!
Im feeling like I do not want to be pregnant anymore... Went in Saturday and was finally dilated to 2cm...Dr stripped membranes, didn't hurt but uncomfortable, cramping, BH all day. Yesterday was uneventful, started losing my plug at 130am, have had a couple contractions but that's it!!
Suppose to call Dr this am at 9, to talk induction, but that freaks me out something fierce...
Sex, walking and some serious spicey food has been ineffective....The frustration and anticipation is making me crazy!!!
favorite dessert...chocolate mousse cake! Yum!

mfilosi · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you?
6 days
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling?
All the normal symptoms and added contractions? Really low and really strong time timeable but take my breath away strong.
3) Appointments?
Tomorrow fingers crossed we go with the induction but from what the nurses in the hospital said it's not looking good

4) Doing anything to induce labor?
DH and I are taking the dogs for a Longmont walk today
5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Bonus points for the recipe!
Better then sex cake!
Devils food cake
1 small can sweet condensed milk
1 container of Carmel ice cream topping
1 container of cool whip
Make the cake once it cools use the thin end of a wooden spoon and poke a ton! Of holes into the cake basically destroying it. Pour the sweet condensed milk into the holes followed by the Carmel. Top with the cool whip and refrigerate for 4+ hours and enjoy!

Edit: just talked to the dr and I'm getting induced Thursday morning unless he shows up before then!

sparklenshine_89 · June 2014

1. I'm 2 days overdue now.

2. I feel crampy bc I just had a membrane sweep done... So fun!

3. Appt on thurs to finally talk induction.

4. To induce: none of the things have worked... Shoving pineapples up my hoo-ha was my last attempt. I've tried walking, hiking yesterday, red raspberry leaf, sex, etc... Lies I tell you!

5. Bryers blasts ice cream: strawberry cheese cake yuuuum! just drive to your nearest supermarket and voila... You have your dessert

Cstarks2013 · June 2014

1) I am 5 days overdue.
2) I feel huge and uncomfortable. Lots of sciatica and cramps. Ugh.
3) supposed to call triage tomorrow morning at 6 to see what time we should come in for the induction! Yay!
4) I'm doing nothing to induce. Going in tomorrow, so kinda pointless...
5) fav desert is cheesecake! Mmm.... But I suck at baking so I just go buy it.

babyglo350 · June 2014

Officially joining the club.
1. 1 day past due
2. I feel perfectly fine. A few Braxton hicks here and there and mild cramping but no indication that anything is happening anytime soon.
3. I have an OB and sono appt on weds. We will discuss an induction plan for delivering on or before 41 weeks ( next Sunday).
4. Tried DTD but it was really painful afterwards so I don't think I want to do that again (so sad lol). I've been walking everyday and staying active. Also trying to keep my anxiety in check. Hoping that by staying relaxed my body will loosen up and get the show on the road.
5. My fave dessert is the blue ribbon brownie at Applebee's. They serve it nice and warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. YUMMY!!!!

emfoxc · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you? 8 days, GAH
2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Intermittent cramping, BH's, but nothing that gets to the 5-1-1 rule, more & more pelvic pressure, lots of lovely mucous since my 40w exam
3) Appointments? Saw the OB this morning and NO progress from last week, still barely 1 cm and thick. I really thought there would be something to show for all the symptoms this past week, but nada. Since LO is moving around a bunch they aren't doing another NST or AFI either. Induction scheduled for Wednesday night at 6pm, pitocin to start the following morning. eek!
4) Doing anything to induce labor? I try to get about 2 miles of walking in per day, now it's less to induce (doesn't really seem to be a point in trying now), but more to stay active and moving.
5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? I'm a sucker for the Ghirardelli brand triple chocolate brownies (can find at the store) and serving that warm with some vanilla ice cream. Utterly fantastic (and probably one of the reasons this babe feels so big in my tummy

)

ElTrain5 · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you?

3

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling?

Holy. Mucus. Batman. Bloody show this morning, and now I'm leaking gushy mucus like it's my damn job. No contractions. So fucking frustrating.

3) Appointments?

NST tomorrow. Considering asking midwives for a membrane sweep or at least a cervical check.

4) Doing anything to induce labor?

Tried everything on the list (except castor oil). I think sex brought on the recent developments.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Bonus points for the recipe!

Magnolia Bakery Salted Caramel Chicolate Chunk Cookies rock my world.

Jenn111211 · June 2014

1) How many days overdue are you? 4

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? I'm feeling HUGE! It's becoming more difficult to get around! I've accepted that I'm just going to have to wait to be induced on Thursday at this point.
3) Appointments? Ultrasound on Wednesday and will be induced on Thursday.
4) Doing anything to induce labor? I have given up on trying to induce labor myself...
5) GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Bonus points for the recipe! Mr. Softee (vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles!)

I hope the Monday inductions are going well, and good luck to the ladies being induced tomorrow!!!
