Also in the 39w6 club! I had my appointment this morning and I'm 1.5cm 60% effaced and at -1 station, so progress is (slowly) being made. I was told not to get too excited or discouraged and that numbers are just numbers and to just think about other things. Easier said than done as we all know!
I see a group of midwives and today I had the my least favorite midwife. She is rather rough, always late in and in a hurry and has manhands. I shrieked during the check and then she asked me, "Would you like me to sweep your membranes? This could induce labor but it will hurt a lot." Umm, no thanks! It really makes me wonder how I'm going to try and have a med-free labor, if I'm that much of a baby during a check. She is pretty rough though, because I'm bleeding just as much as I did last time when they actually did the sweep. Now I'm mega-crampy.
I was told I could come in Friday or Saturday and ask for a sweep if I want to. I know that the manhands midwife is off for the holidays, so maybe I will! DH is actually more impatient than I am and demands updates with all the gory details after my appointments. He wants this baby out so bad!
I am right with you @runnershan about potentially being the last one. The midwives I see won't talk about inducing me until Dec 8th and even then, they don't always do it. I know originally I wanted a med-free, intervention-free birth, but now I kinda wish I would have seen an OB, so I wouldn't have to wait so damn long.
My due date is today and I don't feel like anything will be happening anytime soon. I'm so ready to meet her and at this point I would welcome missing out on thanksgiving to be in the hospital! I'm not looking forward to all the comments from family tomorrow "you haven't had this baby yet?" "When are you going to have this baby?". I'm still crossin my fingers for a November baby! Next appointment is Friday, then we will schedule an induction date.
Because we all know there's no such thing as TMI: mucus plug gonzo!!! It was tinged with blood, but I don't know if that's left from the membrane sweep. I'm just excited for any progress at this point!
@KUinCBUS YES!!!!! I want to be that 4% that actually delivers on my due date, especially because 11/28 is so awesome! Then I get a baby and muffins, right??
I thought I was having noooooo progress at all until my OB appointment on Monday. I was totally prepared for a December baby (FYI: D birthstone is prettier than N!) but now I'm thinking she'll make it here before Sunday (and hopefully after Macy's parade!!)
@WildFlower810 looks good!!! I wish I had a nursery! She'll be staying in my room for now (perk of a massive master!) plenty of room, but I'm not decorating it for her
@minibean16 I'm mobile but weren't you due the 17th?
ETA.... Oops! Never mind I'm one hoping not to go on the 28th. Its my cousins sons bday. I'm crossing my fingers for Dec 1, I Do like the birthstone better.lol

That pretty birthstone is basically the only reason I wouldn't mind if she waited until December! I'm in BC, where they won't let you go past 41 weeks, so December 5th at the latest!
I shouldn't be complaining yet, because I still have 2 days before 40 weeks.
December 1 is 42 weeks for me so it's possible. I have an appointment Friday, hopefully if I'm still waiting they'll agree to induce Sunday night if baby is ok I can hang on. Lol
@SarahHeck so glad to see we've kicked you out of this thread!! Congratulations! Also so happy to see that you'll be free on Friday to be with your DD - hope everyone in your family will have a happy and relaxing weekend!
Also thinking about the other ladies scheduled to leave us today: @Sarahbeth612 and @BrittG13 - hope you're doing well!
Pretty sure my membranes released some fluid. Not sure if it was the fore or hindwaters. But I woke up at 9pm from a nap feeling damp, and by the time I got to the bathroom there was a decent gush by the time I had my pants down. Called my midwife. I have a giant pad on now. Now we wait. Drinking lots of water.
They didn't fully rupture since there's still plenty of fluid around her.

After being so antsy for baby to arrive for so many days, now I'm just hoping he holds tight till after Thanksgiving dinner! One more day to be selfish!
I think I've finally come to terms with having a December baby. I really hoped this little girl would arrive in November, because I have a December birthday and I absolutely hate it. But I'm 40+1 with almost no signs of labor (50% effaced for weeks, no dilation). My next appointment couldn't be scheduled until Wednesday, so if it's an induction, it's going to be in December.
It's going to be a quiet weekend at the house, in-laws live two hours away and there's no way I could handle being in the car that long. I'm almost looking forward to a quiet Thanksgiving. Lots of football, sitting around, and maybe going to Hometown Buffet. I think that's exactly what I need right now.
Ok I thought I lost my MP a few days ago, but that must have just been part of it. After mega cramps yesterday and this morning, I had a bloody show this morning and there was no doubting it was the real deal! Maybe I will have a baby in the next few days! I am trying not to get too excited.
DH is nesting like crazy and anxious. He says he just has a feeling that the baby is coming soon. I am laying on the couch stuffing my face watching him scurry around. I have had a lot of cramping and pressure but had hardly any contractions all day. We are going into the midwife unit to try to do a sweep tomorrow, so we'll see if he is right. I hope he is!
Today's my due date.. Still here with nothin goin on except some cramps. So depressing lol. Guess I'll have my little December baby in a few days (: good luck to everyone getting induced or in labor today!
Woke up to a lil blood this morning, midwife thinks I could be in early labor. I'm hardly feeling any contractions, this is gonna take forever! Lol. Got an appointment anyway at 1:30.
Still here. Appointment on Wednesday for ultrasound and induction discussion but I don't know what that means really...discussion? Scheduling an appointment? No idea. All I know is they yold me that they wouldn't let me go past 41 weeks, but again I don't know if that means scheduling an induction *before* 41 weeks or scheduling one during my 41st week. Ugh. I wish my water would just spontaneously break, but I don't even think I've been having BH let alone actual contractions. The only hint I've had is some cramping/back pain and I think baby's moved down a little, though s/he seems to be trying to wiggle back up. COME OUT.

Hey ladies! We will eventually reach the end, but I know it seems so far away! Just went in for a cervical check and membrane sweep and now I am waiting I'm in L&D triage for a NST and a blood test, because my blood pressure is too high. I am hoping that we see more 11/28 babies today!

Hopefully you can eat something festive without nausea today.
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
Fx some of you get magical 11/28 babies tomorrow!
