My spam is I'm hooked up to magnesium sulfate, which makes me sleepy and feel like crap, the cervidil didn't do anything last night,and they have me on pitocin right now. The nurse has told me I'll most likely have back labor because that's where I hurt when I contract. Oh goody! I'm sorry to complain but I didn't get much sleep at all last night and I'm hungry. I'm so ready to meet my princess though!!!
I hope you get that show on the road soon, @hayleybug55, and that you won't be too uncomfortable. Thinking of you!
@maasybaby it really sucks when everything happens at once. It usually does.
I just went and bought $15 worth of candy bars. I used the self-checkout because I didn't want the cashier to judge me. Yeah, that's how pathetic I am.
I slept terribly last night. I've been up every 2 hours like clockwork the last few nights. Last night had the added joy of hip pain, so I just couldn't get comfortable.
I have my 39 week appointment tomorrow with my first internal check. I'm looking forward to knowing if there's any progress, but I'm not really expecting much and I know it doesn't mean anything in terms of when baby will come anyway. I don't want a Valentine's baby, but he can come any time after Saturday! I'm ready.
I really want to go shopping today but I shouldn't spend unnecessary money and I really should clean my house instead. Decisions, decisions.

My Angel - Amelia Hope - 3/13/14, 22 weeks
BFP #2 - 6/10/14 Hoping for our rainbow baby due February 2015
I slept horribly last night. I had a sporadic contraction here and there, had to use the bathroom every 10 minutes (okay, I'm exaggerating, but that's how it felt) and the husbandman kept snoring. I don't feel like working today, so I'm just going to make my temporary replacement do all the work while I play on the internet.
We had our ultrasound yesterday and Little Man has sort of flipped. He's no longer sunny side up but is laying on his side. Only my child
But the ultra sound photos were amazing! His little cheeks are so chubby! And his lips, oh my gosh. He was pouting and looks so angry in the photos but he's so adorable. I wish I could upload one of the photos onto here, but I'm not cool with @Bumpadmin claiming all rights to photos of my child, so that's not happening. Oh well. I can't wait to hold my little squish!
Good luck @HayleyBug55! Thinking of you and your LO today!
@HayleyBug55 I am soooo incredibly sorry you are on magnesium. I can totally sympathize with how you feel. It really is the worst.
My spam, I finally feel good enough to go to the chiropractor today. Hopefully she can help me get some sensation back in my left knee. I popped my sciatic nerve when pushing and mid thigh to blow my knee has been numb.
I am chillin' at the doctor's right now on the NST machine. So nice hearing baby girls heartbeat but she is NOT happy with the monitors pushing on her. I am 40+5 today and should be scheduled for an induction tomorrow night. After doctor's appt it is finishing up last minute cleaning-boo!
Sorry I've been so absent lately ladies! Looks like Y'all are feeling just about as comfortable as I am!
My spam is that I am 40+5 today. After I hit 40 weeks I had to go to dr every other and it has been SUPER annoying. On Monday she told me she "injured my cervix" and had to give me an antibiotic to prevent infection so that was lovely. Today she was actually nice to me for once. I think she felt sorry for me. I'm still only 1 cm dilated but LO has dropped as far as he can. I'm scheduled for an induction Friday at 8 am unless he comes on his own before then which is not likely (giant sigh).... I'm disappointed but at least I can cool my jets till Friday morning and stop being so anxious. I hope an induction won't throw off my natural birth plans. But we will see. At this point I'm so uncomfortable I'm just ready to have this little dude. My hips couldn't be in more pain than they are. I'm a big old pity party mess!!! But I plan on spending tmrw on the couch!
Edit: typo (no one ever deserves to be "49" weeks Prego hahaha)
My heart goes out to all you ladies playing the waiting game in the hospital. I'm still only 38 wks so my annoyances seem tiny compared to your ordeals. Hugs!!!
BUT I'm still at work. Hating it more every day. It's raising my blood pressure. I have my 38 week appointment this afternoon and if she took pity on me and wrote me off of work from now on, I'd probably cry in happiness. Don't want anything to go wrong for the baby, obviously, I just need heeeeellllppppppp.

@HayleyBug55 I can't believe you were typing as they broke your water lol! Rock star! I hope your LO comes soon! Thinking of you. And to all you other over due sleep deprived Mommas- I am right there with you! 41 weeks running on 30-60 minutes of sleep, with occasional 30 minute naps through the day. The back pain is UNREAL. And let's all just confirm that Tylenol does nothing to help with that. My real spam today is that my husband is stationed in TX right now and gets to come home for my induction tomorrow night. (I go in at 7pm they start my meds around 10-11.) he doesn't get to come any earlier. This baby has been so stubborn. Well this morning I am having major contractions, and some bits of blood again.... I WANT to go into labor on my own. But at this point I've waited so long, I just WANT my husband to be with me!!! This baby has to know what he's doing to his momma! He's such a stinker!
@tlglass91 good to hear from you! I'd never heard of someone getting their cervix injured before, that deserves a trophy. At least after Friday you'll be rid of her! (Unless she does the post-natal checkups, too?) Hopefully you go in to labour on your own and this induction won't be necessary, but either way, at least it will be over and you can hold your LO! Have you been doing your water breaking dances? I tried to do a jiggy for the first time yesterday but I got tired after a minute and gave up. I'll just stay pregnant forever, it's easier
I can't decide what takes more effort. Trying to induce labor myself, or staying pregnant forever
@maasybaby these hips are not doing any type of dance!!! And yeah I'm superstitious about being induced on Friday the 13th! Is the carnival something they due here in Germany too?
@JessicaH1020 I feel your pain. DH and I were dtd (tmi) like every night and it is just too much work. I give up. This baby is not coming. IM GONNA BE PREGNANT FOREVER.
@maasybaby ah ok! Well I'm glad it's not big in our area haha. Hopefully they don't close too many shops! I feel like all of Germany shuts down on holidays and they all lock themselves inside their houses!! Monday is also Presidents' Day so it's a 4 day weekend for US military which means all the single soldiers are gonna go crazy partying. Probably gonna be lots of DUI's and bar fights. I'm sure the hospitals and the polizei will stay busy!! What a GREAT weekend to have a baby hahaha...
@yoursincelery I am also 38 weeks and still working. I am a middle school teacher and have no patience. I feel useless. I'm beginning to wonder why I decided to work until baby comes was a good idea. Next Monday is a teacher planning day. I'm seriously considering throwing in the towel after that day.
Good luck to those mommas in labor and to those overdue!
@HayleyBug55 congrats on your baby! Can't believe you were able to update as much as you did!
All together labor lasted 11 hours. It's probably more like 10 but I can't remember when the potocin kicked in. I spent about 4-5 hours of that cussing out nurses and telling everyone,including my poor grandma, to stay away from me and to shut the f*** up. My mom cried because I was in so much pain from the back labor. Other than those 5 hours I loved every bit of the experience. I'm currently telling my fiance I'm a born again virgin and I'm never having sex again. Lol.

Oh poor grandma! I'm sure she understood I also had to use pitocin and it was not fun...I waited till the contractions got really bad to get the epidural and I managed to not say anything mean but no one talked to me when I had the contractions, lucky them. Ha ha. That last part made me crack up!!
