Holy cow they hurt going in and I've been miserable with horrible cramps and sporadic contractions since. Things seem to be slowing down now, which makes sense because it's been about 6h since they were placed and most of the dilation should be completed. I report to L&amp;D at 5am for removal and pitocin and what I hope will be a glorious epidural!!! Baby soon, one way or another!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2780130 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:37:18 +0000 Synchronicity 2780130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never updated hellobee! Baby girl arrived on her due date (so punctual) on the 14th! We are home and everyone is healthy and happy (and so, so sleepy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2779317 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 17:03:27 +0000 LBee 2779317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@azjax: Oh fun!

Looks like I'm now a September mama. I was due Oct 12 with DD2 and had a false alarm last weekend (where I found out I was 4cm). Exactly one week later, this past Sunday I started having cramps at 11:55pm. We monitored them for an hour and they definitely became longer and stronger. Got to the hospital at 1:20am and baby was born at 1:27am. No time for epidural or even an IV, and my doula missed the birth! But baby is healthy and my recovery is going well. Wishing you all the best!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775653 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 14:14:58 +0000 FancyGem 2775653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: You can add them to your smoothies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775530 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 07:20:56 +0000 LBee 2775530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@azjax: I've been meaning to ask - you mentioned your doctor is willing to induce with a VBAC, right? Is he willing to use pitocin? I'm still trying to decide on a VBAC and I feel like a hot mess. </p> <p>@Synchronicity: Dates are disgusting. I need to find a way to hide them in food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775495 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 21:49:36 +0000 azjax 2775495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love dates but it's hard to eat many of them everyday! Too much of a good thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775471 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 19:42:18 +0000 FancyGem 2775471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: I am eating Medjool dates. I heard they taste better than the other ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775443 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 18:15:49 +0000 Synchronicity 2775443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@azjax: ugh, I am eating dates too and I think they are gross! Hope they are worth it! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775442 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 18:11:54 +0000 FancyGem 2775442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Good luck to you too! </p> <p>@azjax: I keep forgetting to eat my dates everyday. Between all of the supplements that my midwife has me taking and preparing for the baby. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775439 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 17:22:18 +0000 azjax 2775439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So close!!!! I'm eating my dates and hoping for a VBAC. We have an ultrasound on Wednesday to check the position and size of the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775398 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 15:16:41 +0000 Synchronicity 2775398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in labour (yet!) but wanted to wish everyone the delivery they hope for and a healthy baby at the end of it! :goodluck: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-watch#post-2775380 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 14:09:55 +0000 FancyGem 2775380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> We are in our final weeks of pregnancy!
