2»

Re: FTM Check-in: Week of 7/24

  • How far along are you? 
    35+5
    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go?
    Appt today went well. Found out I'm GBS negative which I was happy about. Didn't have her check for dilation because I know I still have some time. 
    Cravings?
    Cold, fresh fruit. 
    Rants/Raves?
    Rants: Baby is still feeling really high so sitting down isn't very comfortable, especially in the car. Lots of BH, too. 
    Rave: Shower is this weekend!
    Questions for FTM, STM+?
    None right now
    GTKY: What was your first pet? 
    A golden retriever and siamese cat were my parents first kids!

  • How far along are you? 37 weeks today!

    Any appointments this week? Two, one was Tuesday and one was Thursday. It's also strange because yesterday's was my last before having the baby. Definitely a strange feeling! 

    Cravings? More like none... starting to get a nervous stomach about Sunday. 

    Rants/raves? Rant: when the nurses at the OB practice scare the crap out of me when they joke about needing to go to L&D or needing an amnio. Um, how bout we not talk about fun things like that and raise my bp even higher?! 

    Rave: I'm going to have a baby in my arms in less than a week! I can't believe it...

    Questions...: Any moms deal with an induction for their first labor? I'm being induced Sunday for high bp and all I keep seeing are horrible stories. It's not helping my anxiety around baby coming early...

    GTKY: First pet was at age 5 - a cat named Licorice! 
  • @megaroo64 I was induced with DD. I labored well and got to the full 10 cm. DD's head was turned and she wouldn't come out after almost 3 hrs of pushing. Not a traumatizing experience. I did have a csection.

    @megaroo42 I was induced at 39 weeks with DD and had a 10 hour labor and no complications. Ended up with a vaginal birth.

  • @megaroo42 I  was induced at 35 weeks for high blood pressure also. I had an awesome labor experience (minus the side effects of magnesium) and had a vaginal birth.

  • How far along are you? 39 weeks and 4 days

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? Had an apt on Friday. I'm barely dilated and 50 percent effaced. Have an apt on Monday to get checked again and then Tuesday is my due date. Going in to have my cervix ripened and induced on wed if he's not here by then. I'm sooooooo nervous!!!

    Cravings? Chilis haha

    Rants/Raves? I'm super scared knowing when he is coming now!!!! 

    Questions for FTM, STM+? STM has anyone been induced? Good? Bad? 


  • @megaroo42 I was induced at 37 weeks due to high blood pressure. Whole process was 28 hours and had a vaginal birth. Had some not fun post partum issues, but those could have easily happened whichever way I have birth.
