Okay @SPurp13‌ conclusion of appointment.
1) Cervix is still too posterior.
2) Doc doesn't want to induce on Monday because if I am not ready and induce too soon it will be a looong labor that could result in a c section.
3) Doc stripped the membranes and it hurt, but that's because of the posteriorness...(that's a new word BTW)
4) I have gel appointments (what's that anyone?) Monday and Tuesday.
5) Appointment set for Wednesday to talk induction if gels don't work.

Conclusion? Outside baby sometime between now and next Friday. I am pretty excited

Hope this makes you feel like there can be an end!

I was crocheting all afternoon so I missed this, but this all sounds promising! How will this work with your work dilemma?

I ended up going into L&D and I am indeed having contractions every 4 minutes. However, my cervix is still 5 and they are bow telling me that they don't believe its labor because my membranes were stripped. So they are giving me an hour to lir on my back and progress. Right....

Send me some good juju. I want to murder my nurse.
What the fuck?! You're dilated to 5cm and having contractions 4 min apart and they still arent convinced?! What else do they want from you?!
Yup. Mu thiughts exactly. They want me to have the baby at home on the bathroom floor.

Man...ask to speak to the charge nurse. That is insane. Or call your OB and speak to the on call doc and tell them that at this point you aren't comfortable going back home.

Gah, I missed things this afternoon! Hugs to lrobi and I'm nervous for you, crawford!

Well, I've officially heard the worst advice out there. My BFF's kooky sister just FB msg'd me with ways for me to induce labor, including stripping my own membranes or breaking my own water...

I didn't even know how to respond. What the fuck do you say to lunacy like that?!

That is insane!

Also, someone link me to the boob soothies. I found two on amazon. Dunno which to get.

So time for some real talk. I have been crying pretty much all day so I have bit the bullet and made an appointment to see my ob tomorrow because if think I am struggling with post postpartum depression.

I love my baby but it is really tough especially when he only sleeps for 30 minutes every 3-4 hours. If he is not nursing then he is crying. It is really hard to admit that this has gone out of my depth and I hate crying every time I talk to someone. Especially DH. It sucks that every time he gets home I am a crying mess.

So hopefully tomorrow will be helpful and in the meantime I hope that LO stays quiet longer than 20 mins.

Sorry to be Debbie Downer but I needed to share.

Thanks for providing me with a few laughs to distract me!

First...big hugs to you. Becoming a mother is so terrifying and such a huge change. I struggled with this for about the first two months. I was so tired and BFing was such a nightmare for me, that I felt like everyday just...sucked. I never talked to my OB about it because I didn't really feel depressed at the time, just scared. It did go away but I applaud you for making an appt to talk about it. It will get better, I promise.

This. All of this. I wish we could reach out and give you for realz hugs.

@crawford411‌ I really hope your nurse gets her head out of her ass and they don't send you home. Keep us posted!!

@SPurp13‌ pictures of your crotchet project or it did not happen.

@pnwlover12‌ Is it crazy that I would love to know how exactly your BFF sister suggests you strip your own membranes? What is wrong with people?!

I wish I wasn't mobile so I could just copy and paste it all. It is 100% crazy. Cliff notes are to get sterile gloves and shove my fingers up there and run my fingers along my cervix.

Ok, I have a random for you ladies. I've found that I get oddly stressed come nighttime. With this baby coming any minute now, for some reason I've been getting nervous at the idea of going into labor in the middle of the night (like I have any choice). Something about driving to the hospital in the middle of the night stresses me out. Maybe it's about being ripped out of my comfort zone at an uncomfortable hour only to have to go to an even more uncomfortable place in the darkness of the night. Ehhh, who knows.

Alright, there's my piece for the day.

For some reason, my favorite experience of going into labor and getting checked into the hospital was when it occurred at night...

Maybe because I was at home comfortable and we weren't in the midst of a busy day trying to entertain the toddlers, DH at work, etc. The hospital was peaceful when we got there. The roads were peaceful along the way.

Where as this time Dh was getting ready to leave for work, it was lunchtime and kids were begging for food, a guy on a motorcycle got hit by a car on the rather busy street towards the hospital, our labor babysitter happened to be out running errands and didn't hear her phone for quite a while - it was overall a semi-stressful afternoon.

Well I hadn't really thought about it that way. I guess I have a new way of looking at it!

I'm still not done. 4 more blocks, then I have to put it together. If I have my baby before my due date, blanket won't be done. Oh well.

I'm going for the so ugly is cute thing. All mismatched old lady squares.

Ok. I had these in my cart. I liked that you can wrap it around the flange when you pump (or so it says). Thoughts?

That looks like something I would like to own.

The other ones are great while not nursing. I think it helps a lot of the burning and irritation.

MissMandyD · October 2014

Every time I call anyone they ask me if I am in labor and it is driving me crazy! I know I am not alone in this but I just have to vent for a minute. Yesterday I got this question no less than 6 times and today 5 times...and these are all from the same 2 people! My parents need to calm down and stop going crazy about when this baby is going to arrive. They also keep trying to get me to guess when I think it is going to happen and I hate doing that because I already guessed once and that date flew by and it just made me feel more impatient.

All the questions are just turning my already impatient nature up to an 11!

Vent over. Positive labor vibes to everyone who needs or wants them!

LightBright515 · October 2014

I pray I don't have an idiot nurse.

The nurse in me will eat her alive.

savicke2009 · October 2014

I think I need to just stay home for the next couple weeks.. I want to TP everyone..

Hugs to @lrobi13‌- hopefully your doctor will have some good insight.. my husbands cousin had a baby a month ago and she saidall he did for thr first month was cry.. turns out he had horrible reflux

And @crawford411‌ good luck!!

YES. I have two sets of these. One in the freezer and I keep one out to warm up and wear while I pump. The warmth helps with let down and feels good when I massage the boobs while pumping. Then slap the chilled gel pads on my nipples and throw the frozen ones of these in my bra after pumping. I love them.

LightBright515 · October 2014

People keep asking me if I'm scared.

I'm honestly more scared of getting the IV than pushing out the baby.

I hated having that stupid IV in my hand the whole time. I kept bumping and pulling it and it hurt. My hand and arm are still bruised from the IV and blood draws a week ago.

Still working on these honey crisp apples.

sabby2 · October 2014

@savagek7‌ I really hope tonight is your night.

@crawford411‌ How do they not consider that labor? I was admitted at 4 cm with contractions that far apart. Ridiculous.

@irobi13 creepy Internet hugs to you and I'm glad that you're doing what's best for you and your family by talking to someone. I hope they can get you back on track and feeling like yourself again soon.

What is the point of the 5-1-1 or 3-1-1 rule for going to the hospital if when you go they refuse to believe you are in labor?

You must not be screaming and carrying on enough. Scream loudly and very dramatically with each contraction and maybe that will get their attention?

mickeydoo · October 2014

I totally cried this morning because I wanted a big bowl of cereal for breakfast (I can't because of gestational diabetes).

Jennifer18131 · October 2014

@lrobi13 >:D< We're here for you friend!

@crawford411 You need a legit hulk smash at this point!

Liss1481 · October 2014

Good luck @crawford411 and @savagek7

Saragoeswest · October 2014

I just got a little bright red blood when I wiped. I am exhausted right now so I'm on the fence about if I want this to turn into anything. I skipped my meeting tonight, FYI.

In an unexpected turn of fate, I think mine might actuality have admitted me. Actually, I know they would have. I've asked.

This is how mine started after my first little gush. FX it turns into something! If you're ready, that is. I'm on mobile so I dont know when your EDD is. Good luck!

I don't know what to do. I'm going to bed soon, but I can't leave, because of the Crawford/Savagek action.
