My water broke the day before I was scheduled but I decided not to risk the vbac and was really happy with my birth experience. My OB sang Happy Birthday to DS as she pulled him out and we did skin to skin until he had to go be checked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308355 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:48:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 2308355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Posting this here too as I was interacting with the Oct board, can't believe I had an October 1 baby!!</p> <p>Induction was longish but went well! I had a 25mg dose of misoprostol at 9:30 (only 2+cm), had been having mild contractions every 7 minutes or so already before anything. After miso and 2 hrs of monitoring got to wak around, go get lunch. Contractions picked up. Started pacing/bouncing then when they started getting bad I got in the jacuzzi tub in my room which was awesome and really moved things along, my water broke in the tub then I asked for the epi..... My nurse got m me fully set up for epi while still in tub and got out, in bed, and epi right away. Good because I was shaking bad, and ctx were bad! I was 6cm at this point. Chilled for a couple hours then was a 10, waited about 30 min to push so he could move down a bit.... Took me an hour of pushing, he was sideways so lots of positions in the bed, then here!!' Long day but so awesome. I'm feeling well (sore) couple minor stitches!</p> <p>Col!n W!lder. 9lbs 6oz, 21 inches long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308336 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:20:36 +0000 ChelseaRose 2308336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I did not and that's ok. My BP was going up and I wasn't showing signs of labor so we scheduled the RCS for 39+6. It was great. We got skin-to-skin in the OR and baby was trying to nurse, so my labor and delivery nurse helped him latch on while they finished the surgery. He was only away from me for about 15 minutes to do his bath and check up in the nursery. Also, he was a very big baby at 9lbs even and 21.5 inches. I'm not sure a VBAC would have been successful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308332 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:15:39 +0000 plantains 2308332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308330 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:15:31 +0000 plantains 2308330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: co ngratulations!

We had a mini heat wave at the beginning of the month and it was SO humid, it made me feel awful.</p> <p>So yeah, I was due on Monday 9/21, so i'm going on 4 days overdue. I also work full time, my last day in the office was last Friday, and I'm still working full time but from home. And i've been SUPER busy still. Everyone keeps saying they're glad I haven't had the baby yet so I can get more work done :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-board#post-2301153 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 16:03:39 +0000 ChelseaRose 2301153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: It's 93 degrees right now (2pm) and I wish we had fall weather. I work full time, but last Thursday was my last day until about February or so. I'm 39w1d, but if he's not here by my due date then I'll have a RCS then. Are you still working? overdue? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-board#post-2300774 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 11:52:57 +0000 hellobeeboston 2300774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: oh I've heard about the heatwave in CA! So tough!! I hope you're holding up. The mall is a good idea!</p> <p> It's Fall-like here already.... But sad to see summer go! Do you work?

My sleep has been ok, but my husband said that I've been talking or mumbling in my sleep a lot more in recent months. I don't always wake up to pee and I always feel much more rested when I don't have to get up. I took my son to the mall yesterday and we both walked all over several times. We had a heat wave again recently and for several days it's been way too hot to walk outside comfortably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-board#post-2300425 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 08:10:28 +0000 hellobeeboston 2300425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>STILL HERE ;)</p> <p>Today I'm 40+3, and not feeling like this babe is coming any time soon!</p> <p>On the plus side I got almost 9 straight hours of sleep last night! It's been MONTHS since I've slept that long without at least getting up once! Going to walk LO to daycare again, hoping the walking will help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-amp-delivery/page/2#post-2298038 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 09:44:21 +0000 ChelseaRose 2298038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: what a sweet picture!
