Hellobee Boards

I just got a call that they want to schedule my c-section for 1/21-25 (due date 1/28) but the lady said they are fully booked and will call me back when there is an opening.

It's getting more real!

@Raindrop: I'm technically scheduled for 1/22!! Hope your little babe is working on flipping around, though!

@Happygal: here is our henry - sorry if pic is gigantic! Looks just like big sis here when she was new. She is coming to meet him later today.

@bhbee: ahhh what a cutie! I bet big sis will be really, really excited!

@bhbee: so sweet! C's first meeting with big sister was one of the most magical moments of my life. I'm looking forward to hearing how it went for you all!

@Raindrop: this was so my husband. He had picked out a date to share with a family member and thought it was just perfect. I told him it wasn't like making a dinner reservation at a restaurant, but he was so confident. He was crushed when they scheduled it 6 days later.

@bhbee:

Such a quiet day compared to yesterday. I had some raging pregnancy hormones going on last night - hot flashes, insomnia, nausea. Now I'm super fatigued from it all and very much look forward to bedtime.

@Snowdrop: how's it going, due date twin?

I call dibs on tomorrow. It's the last easy date to remember: 1/15/15. I also would have accepted 1/1/15, 1/5/15, or 1/11/15.

@Mrs. Blue: Haha I'm totally a date/numbers person too! Good luck tomorrow.

@Raindrop: a strike makes for a dramatic story! Medical care stuff can be so frustrating. My doctor isn't allowed to do breech deliveries, but this will still be considered an elective c-section. No sense.

This baby is feeling more breech than transverse, although night time is her witching hour when she puts on a show. I put something cold at the top and a heating blanket below while in a breech tilt the other day. She definitely was getting her head away from the cold, but wouldn't fully commit. I'm so curious as to whether we're going to discover an obvious reason for this when they do a c-section.

I'm going to try to get to the pool, do some walking, and as a treat, a prenatal massage. Maybe me being really relaxed will make her want to spin around!

@oliviaoblivia: it really was magical! LO is almost 3 so can really say some sweet and funny things. I hope the video we took comes out. Also funny: I put him in real clothes and she was dressed up - first thing he pees right through his outfit and hers on my lap! It was so strange how big she seemed and heavy. But no words for the feeling of two little people I made on my lap and cuddling.

@Espion: For real. I actually had a decent nights sleep last night, hooray.

We are about halfway through the month, ladies! Now to get through all the babies!

@Mrs. Blue: @Raindrop: another number girl here. We got a great date since dates are written in dd/mm/yy order here. So J's birthday is 10/01/15. I guess it's an anagram, same spelled forward and backwards.

@Espion: oh no, I hate pregnancy insomnia! Hope you can catch up tonight.

@bhbee: yes on the giant and mouse thing. B just seems soooooo big and heavy suddenly. Glad your introduction went well!

@Mrs. Blue: sooo I had that kind of labor Sunday night and a baby Monday night. I know it can start and stop for days but I think it's a really good sign! And trust your body if contractions heat up - I certainly wasn't expecting a labor 1/4 my first in length. Fingers crossed for you!!!

@Mrs. Blue: the day is not over! Maybe last night gave you a head start and thing will go quickly.

@Mrs. Confetti: I also suspect some mucus plug loss. It is blood tinged but i think it's more likely late spotting from my cervical check Tuesday. I'm not putting too much stock in anything right now... It could all mean something and nothing at the same time.

Well, ladies... I'm going in at 7:30 tomorrow morning for my induction. Pretty nervous and excited. I was dilated to a 4 yesterday, so hopefully that's good. I'll keep you posted! XO

Another one here with a few hours of false labor! Contractions were from 5:30-11am about 8-10 mins apart. Now they are 20 mins apart. A little bit of blood too. Dr said that next time they start up, don't waste time and get to the hospital because second labors can go super fast. @Mrs. Blue: we could be be due date twins!! We are almost there!! trying to rest up now because I got about 3 hours of sleep last night because my cough was keeping me up. I may have cried a bit because I was so miserable and tired.

@Espion: oh my goodness! You poor thing with the insomnia. You must be exhausted. hoping tonight is more sleep filled for you.

@CatchAFallingStar: my induction started around 11 am and I had her at 7:48 pm. Pitocin, doc broke water, epidural and steady progress. Started pushing around 7 I believe.

@CatchAFallingStar: Good luck! While I wasn't induced this time I feel like I sort of was - my water broke on its own but then my contractions totally stopped. I started Pitocin at 11am and delivered at 2:30pm so really fast! It went way better than I thought it could. And I was only at 1-2cm when I went in!
