Anyone else up yet?

BreandMikewedding · October 2014

More like still up for me.

I shaved my legs and I kind of felt like zorro just waving a razor around hoping to hit my target.

caranichole · October 2014

Still up. Baby refuses to let me sleep. If she is going to nurse like this all night she better be well over birth weight at her pedi appt in this afternoon! Eta: If not, I can't be held responsible for the emotional eating that will happen tomorrow evening.

I attempted shaving a couple days ago. The lower part of my legs that I can see look semi okay. I figure I can't see the rest, so good enough.

Jellybean813 · October 2014

Awake in L&D. Haven't been super active on the board in the past few months, so didn't feel like making my own post saying I was here. Water broke at about 3:15 yesterday afternoon. Epidural is in and they started some pitocin to try and move things along. Hopefully I have an outside baby soon. We are team green, so can't wait to find out who this little peanut is!

BreandMikewedding · October 2014

@Jellybean813‌ congrats! Hopefully labor will get going a little quicker soon. I think you are having a boy. :-bd I'm surprised how many people are having their water break on it's own. I thought statistically this was rare.

ariel06 · October 2014

@Jellybean813 That's so exciting!

Baby is trying to stretch his way out. There's not enough room for that kind of movement anymore. DS1 was born at 38wks, so I'm kind of hoping today is the day.

BeckyMont · October 2014

Wide awake at 4:30, woke at 3:30 to potty. Mind please shut off, we have to work in the morning.!!!

MrsSarahRenee · October 2014

I feel like I am in some sort of space/time continuum where time actually slows down. Like really? 21/2 weeks!!??!!

Cramping and contractions all night, which I thought was more Hulk uterua nonsense. Dozes on and off for about 5 hours. Just got to work and had my bloody show. Oh boy...is labor imminent? Also, if I did go into labor, should I just update myself? Sinner had her LO yesterday morning so I assume she's pretty busy.

@crawford411

I'm more than happy to cover for Sinner!

Good for you for trying! Every night I plan to do it and every night I'm just too damn tired.

ariel06 · October 2014

Trying to decide if these contractions are the real thing. 5 minutes apart for the last 45 minutes. I haven't woken up DH yet, since his alarm should go off soon.

Syllessa · October 2014

Awake and nursing. I love the magical hour when my Norco and Motrin show up at the same time.

Oh, and a shout out to my labor buddy, @FamousEa‌ for being so awesome on Tuesday.

saraheh007 · October 2014

I am losing my mind. We finally moved back into our remodeled home about a week and 1/2 ago. Yesterday was final inspections and the contractors missed a lot. They are going to have to completely redo our stairs, redo our fireplace surround and there are a million little things that have yet to be done.

I am on a reduced work schedule due to high BP and am coming home to a construction zone every day. Which, of course, doesn't help the stress levels.

If my BP gets any higher, they may take the baby at 39 weeks which is a week from Saturday. I do not want to bring my baby home to a construction zone.

I can't sleep and feel nauseous about all of this. I just don't know what to do. I love my husband but he is the most laid back person ever and is like, it will work out. We will make it work. It will be OK. Uggggg. I need him to be pissed and going off on contractors right now. Not telling me it will all be ok.

Sorry for the rant. I really needed to bitch for a minute.

saraheh007 · October 2014

@ariel06. Good luck! I hope it's the real deal!

saraheh007 · October 2014

@crawford411‌ How exciting! Maybe your hulk uterus is finally ready to go! Fingers crossed!

onelilroo · October 2014

Yay first page! I napped in the evening, and woke up at 11pm abs have been up since then (its 4am here). I'm about to head back to sleep (hopefully).

@crawford411‌ eee!!! This could be the real deal! Excited for you!

gooberdoofus95 · October 2014

I know wake up and get on here to see who's in labor and I'm also checking my inbox to make sure @MissMandyD‌ is still cooking! On another note it seems like gas builds up on me throughout the night and when I get up, start moving around and I end up farting all morning and not these little toots either. Bad thing is my DD doesn't want me to wait with her at the end of our driveway for the bus because she says the neighbors kids like 5 HOUSES down from us can here me fart and she's embarrassed so now I have to wait on the porch. I feel like I've been put in timeout!

Congrats on all the new babies and mommies!!

@crawford411‌ and @ariel06‌ good luck if this happens to be true labor!

aander6 · October 2014

Nursing the little man and it is going well so far. I cannot believe how different and how much better I feel after his delivery compared to DD. I guess not having another 4th degree tear and hemorrhage really do make for a better birth experience.

aander6 · October 2014

Good luck @crawford411‌ I am really hoping this is finally the real deal for you!!!!

sabby2 · October 2014

Might be heading to the hospitol this morning. Been up all night with contractions and started timing a bit after 6 am. These are painful!

duckr · October 2014

Good luck @crawford411!

I was up with cramps a lot last night as well. OB said I was 2 cm dialated and at 80% yesterday. He doesn't think I'll make it through the weekend! The thing is guys, I have plans this weekend and the cleaning people aren't coming till Monday so let's just slow this down a bit! K. Thx!

Also, I had my first real contraction about an hour ago. I know it was real because...ow.

AmandaJean12 · October 2014

Good luck to everyone with contractions this morning! I hope you all get the progress you're hoping for (or the pause you're hoping for)!

I'm off to the OB to hopefully find out this week of contractions did something... If not my husband is convinced the Packer/Viking game tonight might be enough to send me into labor

Saragoeswest · October 2014

Good luck today @crawford411‌ and @sabby2‌ and @duckr‌! Maybe we'll have another explosion of babies today! Oh, and to the girl who is bumping from L&D. You, too!

GretchenWeiners7 · October 2014

Good luck to all you lucky notches that may be having a baby today! I think today is my LB's induction but I haven't heard from her. @JJsMum‌ what's the status of your ute?!

I'm seriously debating just bringing a towel with me everywhere. Friends invited us over for football on Sunday and I'm so worried my water will break on their expensive sofa that I might just decline their invite.

DreadGamerWife · October 2014

One and a half days of work left before maternity leave starts. Here is hoping that everything remains quiet.

MrsTinMKE · October 2014

@crawford411 - Good Luck!! Hope this is it for you!

MorganWP · October 2014

Anyone else thats nursing, do you have a boob that just wont cooperate?

For whatever reason, my left has decided that its not going to get with the program. It always seems to be the leaky, sore, sometimes a little overfull one. The right is having no problems.

pushgal84 · October 2014

Officially a week away from my due date and ZERO signs that labor is imminent. Unless you count pooping or nesting. Up way earlier than normal after sleeping super shitty last night.

No advice, but I've had a recurring dream this entire pregnancy that my right boob just doesn't work. FX your left one gets it's act together soon!

ariel06 · October 2014

Heading in to l&d as soon as we get DS1 on the bus. Contraction are now under 3 minutes.

ANGnJON · October 2014

Sorry I've been kinda MIA the last few days! I have been spreading love tits, tho!

Today is day three of hospitol bed rest, no fun! I had a really rough day yesterday, headache from hell & BP was all over the place too! I'm facing the hard decision of trying for a vaginal delivery or just going c section! Based on my health issues they are wanting me to deliver as close to 37 wks, which is Friday.

I'm NOT dilated, softening or effacing at all! So if I go vag it would most likely be a multiple day induction (starting Saturday) with a fair possibility of ending with a c section anyways. Or a vaginal delivery with baby A & possibly a c section for baby B, who is larger & has turned transverse again!

Or, I can just decide to go c section (scheduled, Monday @1:45pm) & skip the induction & labor altogether! I'm just so torn & having a really difficult time deciding what to do!

Then on top of all of this, my insurance company is being pricks & doesn't want to cover my stay here after the first 48 hrs! WTAF, are you kidding me, FUCK OFF insurance company! My OB, the hospitol & MFM all have gone to bat for me, written letters & are appealing it! Now I have to get involved & this is causing me unnecessary & added stress! I'm here due to BP, pre e & they are causing spikes in my BP! I'm just floored by their bullshit!

I just don't have the emotional or mental stamina to deal with this now considering everything else that is going on! I can feel my depression creeping back in & my anxiety levels have been peaking too! I've done really well without my meds thus far & keeping things in check! Now I feel like I'm in a tailspin!

I had A LOT of ugly cries yesterday, I'm hoping for a better day today! FX I have a some relief today & can get back to my zen place! I'd like to keep baking these babies till the last possible minute & not end up in an emergency c section!

Ok, sorry, bitch session over! If you read this entire post, you rock! Thanks lady's, I just needed to get this off my chest! Weaky face!

krazyinsane · October 2014

We're at T minus 25 hours before I go have this big boy... he's HUGE compared to his sisters (and DD#3 was over 40 weeks)

It's so bittersweet. I'm OVER being pregnant but at the same time knowing this is the last day I'll EVER be pregnant is bizarre. I've spent the past 5.5 years pregnant, breastfeeding or both and it's the strangest feeling to be on the downhill slope to being done with this part of my life (I know I'm going to nurse him for a year but it's still getting there!!).

Is anyone else having their tubes tied with this baby (especially momma's who have had their little ones already)? Just seeing if it changed much with your recoveries...

Agreed. I had thought it was rare too. I'm happy to welcome water break any time now....even while I'm at work. Seriously....something needs to get moving down there!! lol - I was due Monday!

DreadGamerWife · October 2014

@ANGnJON Sorry your insurance company are being such dipshits. FX they get their act together soon and stop causing you so much stress!

Day Two of Maternity Leave: Doctor Appointment and Hair Did. It's happening.

Slept for 10 hours. I'm a magical unicorn.

Creepy hugs to those that need them and good luck to those who might be having babies today!

I ended up leaving work around 7:15. Im having contractions every 4 minutes or so with spotting and cramping. I called my OB and she told me to lie down for an hour and go in if they are still that frequent. She is as cautious about hulk uterus trickery as I am at this point. I'm in bed now with DH, feeling excited, sleepy, and surprisingly calm. My biggest worry is when to call my mom to come from Cincinnati, 2 hours away. I'll probably wait until labor is definite. @golfingdarwinfish‌ Would you PM me with either a cell number I can text or an email address?

@crawford411

YGPM!

MrMrsandBaby · October 2014

@kfitzguerra - Dryer...line drying isn't necessary. Oh, and I see you changed your avatar, no warning at all! Not cool!

MuffinMom14 · October 2014

So, this baby has been ONLY on my right side the ENTIRE time. There is NOTHING of interest on the left side. At all. It's just hollow. Maybe that's where she keeps her bags? I have no idea.

Yesterday, I caught that bitch creepin' over to the left side, and I was like "YEAH, GO OVER THERE FOR A CHANGE," and then she was all like NOPE and ran back to the other side.

What is so scary about the left side, APurp? Should I be concerned something scary is going to fall out of my uterus after APurp comes out? Like the puppet from Saw or something?
