Due on Monday and no sign of baby yet. My midwife doesn't do internal checks so I'm not sure of my progress really. I know that I have been having consistent BH contractions and also sharp cervical type pains a few times a day.</p> <p>We did go to the hospital last night for an NST since I didn't feel her move for several hours which was really unusual. All is fine though, her heart rate is great and my BP is great. There weren't any contractions the whole time we were hooked up to the monitor. DH is dying hoping that she will come like yesterday! A couple friends of ours had their baby today and DH is super jealous! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/3#post-133040 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 20:53:06 +0000 regberadaisy 133040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many of us are still preggo??!?!</p> <p>Due April 30th and baby not here yet.

Isn't it funny how births just don't go according to plan? We planned a drug-free labor, but in the end due to a 3-day long labor I ended up w/ every intervention in the book short of a c-section -- 2 morphine shots, pitocin, a dose of phentanol, and an epidural! Yet in the end I am very happy with the birth that we had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-114541 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 23:06:32 +0000 skibobrown 114541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi April mamas! How is everything going? Our baby almost came out in March, but in the end she hung in for April 1st. Her name is Alanna Sonia, and so far she is just wonderful. She is definitely an opinionated little lady though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-108596 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:26:49 +0000 eastportbride 108596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, everyone! Hope you are feeling well and getting prepared for your April babies! My little girl decided she preferred March, and was born last Monday. It was not exactly how we had planned (we were a HypnoBabies family, but required a c-section), but she is here and we are exhausted but so excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-104319 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:07:05 +0000 jennylynn 104319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: No no! I don't really want one, I just didn't know if was normal not to have had one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-104306 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:49:59 +0000 mrsjazz 104306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: I go to midwives, so they don't do internals unless I request it. You should mention something at your next appointment if you want one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-104286 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:39:32 +0000 jennylynn 104286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when did everyone have their first internal? I just had my 37 week visit, and I was expecting an exam, but nope! And no mention of one next time. Is that normal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-100525 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:10:38 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 100525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: I'm jealous!

Just got back from my weekly OB appt, and I was really hoping for some progress since last week. Unfortunately, not too much. I'm 60% effaced, 1 cm dilated, and baby's head is -1 station. (The only difference from last week is that I'm a little more effaced.) I'm so ready for baby to arrive now, but I guess I just need to work on my patience a little bit more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-100497 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:06:51 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 100497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I'm supposed to take it easy, but not necessarily bed rest, so I try to just run one errand a day. I'm a teacher, so yes, I'm on my feet a lot at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-100493 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:01:04 +0000 mediagirl 100493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: do you have to stay off your feet (bed rest) or just stay home and not go into work? Do you spend a lot of time on your feet at work? I bet you just can't wait for your little man to get here already now that you're staying at home!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-100490 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:53:57 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 100490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: it's still going by fast for me, but I'm definitely ready to meet the little man! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-100481 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:39:42 +0000 jennylynn 100481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: You're so close! Do you feel like time goes slower the closer you get? I know I feel like that, and I'm at 36 weeks! I'd go insane if I didn't at least have work to keep me somewhat distracted. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-100410 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:45:22 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 100410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>39 weeks on Monday!!! I can't believe I'm due in a little over a week! Now that I'm not allowed to work (I wanted to work until the end, but my fluid was low, so my doctor told me I had to stop), I feel like I'm just waiting waiting waiting! I really hope he comes early or on time because I'm not sure I can handle waiting more than that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-97694 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:05:04 +0000 mrsjazz 97694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JustlikeHeaven: Duh! I went back to the first page and realized we are due a day apart! That's what I get for being lazy.</p> <p>I really only get up from my desk to go to the bathroom or get my food from the fridge :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-97687 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:02:29 +0000 DpeachLu 97687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I know what you mean by the perlvic pain when you turn from side to side!!</p> <p>@mrsjazz: I have a desk job too but things like getting up to the copier or returning files to the attorneys bother me! haha. I also have a semi hard commute - its really hard to drive in traffic while getting internally beat up by my baby - haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-97620 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:07:57 +0000 mrsjazz 97620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JustlikeHeaven: What's your due date? I think we are a day apart. I'm due April 9th. I'm jealous of your 9 days left of work. I'm working until this baby pops. I have a desk job so that part doesn't really bother me, but my commute is a pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-97570 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:26:12 +0000 bpcmarj 97570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Everyone! I wanted to introduce myself even though we all don't have too much time left to go! I am due with my baby girl on 4/23. DH is convinced that she will actually be born in May...but we'll see I guess!</p> <p>At 35 weeks the only real issue that I have been having is heartburn and pelvic pain (specifically when I am trying to roll over in bed). For the last day or so I have been having some serious BH contractions. I don't know what caused them to come on so strong all of the sudden, but I left work early today in order to lay down and rest and hope that they stop. My midwife told me to drink more water, but I am already drinking over a gallon a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2012-mamas/page/2#post-97445 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 11:20:49 +0000 jennylynn 97445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JustlikeHeaven: Thanks! It's not easy, but I'm hoping staying active will help me go at least on time like you said! Ugh, I can't imagine working with all men. They have no idea what it's like to be pregnant! </p>
