    @Umberto: @pregnantbee

    Congrats! Welcome to the world babies.

    I really hope to be on the list soon! These last days are a mix of great/brutal.

    Still super pregnant, starting to think there is no hope and this kid will come exactly super late like my last (my ob doesn't induce until you are officially 2 weeks late unless there's a reason to). 😪

    @OldpuebloJenn: I missed @teawithpaloma: too! Glad we will have a few more babies before the mid August due dates!

    @MrsBeluga: I hope something starts soon for you! My midwife made it pretty clear yesterday she won't induce until 42 weeks, either. My first came a few days late, and my second was two weeks late so as of yesterday I started preparing myself I likely will be pregnant until August 25th. Ugh!

    @MrsBeluga: @teawithpaloma: come on babies! Maybe they just really want to be August babies.

    @teawithpaloma: Thank you! Now come on baby paloma! I promise you won't be pregnant forever. Just feels like it. I had no idea I was going to have a baby yesterday! You've got this.

    @MrsBeluga: noooo. I assume you've been walking, etc? I hope you don't go so late this time. Hang in there. You can do this!

    Just got back from doctors. Still not dilated. ultrasound tomorrow and then we start induction on Thursday night. So at least the end is in sight.

    @teawithpaloma: I'm so sorry - I'm sure that was a disappointing update. At least now you have a date certain for the induction . . . hopefully you will have a chance to rest before then. So many hugs to you!

    @pwnstar: thank you! I kept it together at the doctors office but cried a little when I got home. Feeling better. Wishing on time delivery vibes for all the rest on this list.

    I feel like I'm going crazy over here. I'm at the hospital for my regular NST and I swear I'm having tons of contractions but the monitors aren't picking them up. The midwife was even here for one and could feel my stomach tightening but nothing on the monitor. My BP's up a little and baby's heart rate is crazy. But that's not that unusual. She said they'd rather wait until 39 but baby might need to come today depending on what's going on with me.

    @teawithpaloma: So sorry. I know what that feels like...especially with a second. It's tough. And disappointing. And a whole bunch of emotions! Hope he decides to get his act in gear and come asap so you can avoid the induction!

    @ShootingStar: Oh my goodness. That's crazy that the monitors aren't picking up the contractions. Well, you're 37w....so it wouldn't be terrible if she came today, right? Good luck and please keep us posted if you can.

    @teawithpaloma: I'm so sorry you're late at this point. He good news is that baby truly won't be inside forever. Hugs and hang in there. The end is in sight.

    False alarm, I'm back home .the contractions did start to get picked up by the monitor but eventually they slowed down and stopped. Baby's heart rate went down to normal and my labs came back good. Makes me wonder though, if this is going to keep happening.

    @ShootingStar: Boo. Baby is keeping you on your toes. She'll be here before you know it.

    @T.H.O.U.: @LCTBQE: yes very much still hanging in here!! Lost my mucus plug for real this morning but no contractions. Not getting my hopes up and looking forward to getting this show on the road tomorrow night! I am actually really happy I got to savor these past few days at home with my daughter.

    @teawithpaloma: Thats exciting you lost it though so hopefully it means your making progress! I never lost it with my other two but still had successful inductions.

    Well I had the most amazing/hard two days. I went into early labor on Wednesday at 4pm. Went to the hospital on Wednessay night but only 1.5cm dilated. Labored on and off all day and night at home and went in for my scheduled induction at Thursday at 6pm but I was already 4cm. Dominic arrived at 12:30am August 5 after a great labor. Whew we are so thrilled and relieved!!
