He is such a cutie!! Thanks for checking in, I had been wondering about you in particular :) so glad you got your take home IVF miracle baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2443415 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 06:44:04 +0000 DesertDreams88 2443415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: DH totally nixed the idea of sex after 38 weeks, but after seeing me break down in tears going overdue and getting a 41 wk induction date, his mind opened a bit... it didn't work, but we tried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2441214 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 22:26:06 +0000 bisous 2441214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: I wasn't really actively searching for it...somehow I remembered seeing it on a local yoga teacher/massage therapist's website! I can wall you her website in case you are interested! (Lol and will keep you posted if it happens to work in the next 16 hours)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2441140 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:14:55 +0000 littlebug 2441140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: How did you find someone that did that? I seriously may drive back down to Philly just to get it, ha ha! </p> <p>39w2d here, and still 1cm and long, according to my check today. Doc said it's very likely I'll go past my due date again with this pregnancy (D was induced at 41w). Ugh. Last time I could not stomach the thought of having sex, but I want this kid OUT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2441117 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:06:02 +0000 bisous 2441117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: Just like a prenatal massage--very relaxing--but the massage therapist uses essential oils (clary sage) and acupressure points known to induce labor. </p> <p>It was very relaxing. Definitely having contractions...but they are kind of sporadic and aren't really getting stronger! The massage therapist said it usually works within 24 hours IF it is going to work. I am hopeful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2440730 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 16:40:39 +0000 gracecat 2440730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: awwww hang in there!! What's an induction massage? I've never heard of it before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2439498 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 08:18:06 +0000 bisous 2439498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: No update here! Womp womp. Today is my due date!<br /> I had contractions all night long but nothing strong or painful (fingers crossed they were making progress beyond the 3cm dilated from my Monday appointment). I am having an "induction massage" today. I'm hopeful but there is obviously no guarantee for something like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2439495 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 08:15:16 +0000 bisous 2439495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kristinleigh: what a cutie!!

I've been MIA for a while and need to catch up but my little one was born 1/18 at 10:59pm! 7 lb 8 oz, 20" long. 29 hours of back labor.. No epidural! Here is Lucas Joseph ❤️ Time is flying by. </p> [attach=5990/16/o1m4ju.600x600.image.jpeg] [attach=5990/16/o1m4jv.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2438323 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 06:12:22 +0000 gracecat 2438323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>January is winding down!

That's awesome that you went from zero to baby so quickly! I hope it wasn't too dramatic. Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/53#post-2417981 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 06:02:05 +0000 sera_87 2417981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/52#post-2417978 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 05:47:42 +0000 SwanSong 2417978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/52#post-2417969 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 03:54:15 +0000 SupernovaJ 2417969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby boy was born just a few hours ago at 12:37am on Tuesday morning, Jan 12. He's doing great. More detailed update on the other thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/52#post-2416963 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 12:52:26 +0000 SupernovaJ 2416963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So awesome! Congrats to all the mamas and babies who are thriving. :grin: </p> <p>I haven't checked in for a while but have been keeping up. The last trimester really flew. I am 39w3d as of today. No real signs of baby yet. Have been having Braxton hicks and lightening crotch for weeks, so that's nothing new. Increased discharge noted as of the last few days though, but no mucous plug or bloody show. My practice doesn't check for dilation, just baby's heart rate and my blood pressure so nothing to report on that front. </p> <p>Waiting game is on! I was in labor at this point in my last pregnancy so this seems like an eternity, but I'm trying to be patient for baby boy. So much more anxious this time around for some reason, even though this is baby #2. Good luck everyone! I'll update with baby news hopefully in the next few days. Sending lots of labor vibes to the mommas who are still waiting. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/52#post-2416703 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:42:47 +0000 SwanSong 2416703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QueensBee: No update, still false labor almost nightly. I have an appointment tomorrow and hope to hear something! Luckily the contractions are mild to moderate at worst so a light heating pad works wonders (unless I am having hot flash, which is happening with increased frequency) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/52#post-2416668 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:25:10 +0000 QueensBee 2416668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: He's incredible! So happy to hear the good updates!</p> <p>@SwanSong: Any updates? If labor hasn't started, I hope you'v been able to stay comfortable through all those false contractions.</p> <p>@Mermaidri: Congratulations! What a fantastic Christmas memory!</p> <p>We were discharged from the hospital yesterday and are enjoying our time as a family of four. So far, everything is going well. Grace is eating and sleeping like a champ, for a newborn. I'm definitely still recovering from labor but hoping to wean off some of the pain meds today or tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/52#post-2415497 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 08:22:55 +0000 mdf106 2415497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-moms/page/52#post-2415449 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 04:28:52 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2415449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: Wow!!
