I have an induction scheduled for 4 pm (cerviidil overnight) but at about midnight last night I started feeling contractions sporadically. I knew this was different than the menstrual type pain I've been having for weeks because of the stomach tightening at the same time. And this morning in the shower around 6 am I lost my mucus plug (TMI) - it looked like petroleum jelly with a tiny bit of blood so I think that's what it was, anyway. Now the contractions are about 30 minutes apart and manageable so we will probably wait at home until our appointment this afternoon unless something gets dramatically worse. I am so glad it seems like my stubborn cervix might actually be favorable to the cervidil now! Yay!! Wish me luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/33#post-2365792 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 16:42:19 +0000 FannyMae 2365792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>still here trudging along... nothing much was happening yesterday at all, had some sharp pains through the night *randomly*, woke up this morning and HELLO MUCOUS PLUG. ugghhhhhh so grossss!!! just feeling mildly crampy, nothing major at all. blergh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/32#post-2365245 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 18:08:38 +0000 Miss Sarah 2365245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: I don't know if my membrane sweep contributed to my labor or not... But probably not. They were stripped Thursday and I didn't have anything other than cramping until Monday. Monday I had contractions all day, but they were not painful and I worked all day. I didn't go into labor until late Monday night. Best of luck to you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/32#post-2365227 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 17:23:03 +0000 FannyMae 2365227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a bit pffffffttt deflated today :/ I had contractions maybe every 2 hours or so last night, nothing major. just enough to wake me up and annoy me :crying: Its saturday morning and hubby has gone to work for a few hours, mum will come past and help me with LO and some housework. maybe getting up and moving might do something. Hubby is trying to make me pep up a bit saying "24-48 hours!!" but I'm a bit dismissive at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/32#post-2364608 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:00:00 +0000 Miss Sarah 2364608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: omg!

He actually said that he gave it "a really good shot! Special Service!" I died laughing, if only to try get over the pain! Currently having a bit of spotting, and some mild random contractions, he said if its going to work it will be in the next 24-48 hours. Gave me a good pat on the back and said See You Tomorrow! lol cheeky bugger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/32#post-2364167 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:05:19 +0000 AggieDaze 2364167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: I am so so glad I got induced at 39 and 2. Baby had a big head and was 8 lbs 3 oz yet I was able to push him out in 15 minutes without any tearing. Perhaps I would have gone into labor myself (the monitors were showing contractions even before they started the pitocin) but I didn't want to risk having to wait until 41 for a post-date induction.</p> <p>I didn't share many details in my first post but as a quick summary. I got a L&amp;D room at 9 am and was 3/4 cm dilated, started on penicillin for GBS+ at same time, started pitocin very slowly shortly thereafter, received epidural around 12, had waters broken at 6 cm shortly before 1, 7 cm at 3, moved to my side vs back and was 9 cm and -1 station 10 minutes later, moved to my other side and was 10 cm and +2 station and ready to push within 20-30 minutes. All in all, I loved my induction - especially since I was concerned about 1) making it to hospital on time for 4 hours of penicillin and 2) not going into labor and having a huge baby by post date induction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/32#post-2364125 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 21:45:22 +0000 FannyMae 2364125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a feeling he will probably laugh me off anyway and send me on my merry way. I keep playing my last labour in my head - waters breaking, labouring for hours and then having to be put on the drip anyway :/ justifying in my head that if that sh!t happens again, I'd rather have just been on the drip from the beggining and save myself the 12 hours hahha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/32#post-2364084 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 21:24:38 +0000 Hoots 2364084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: I feel the same way!

I had a nasty migraine yesterday afternoon that escalated into extreme dizziness/nausea/shaking. I rang OB but they didnt call me back til this morning as OB was doing c-sections til 8pm. I'm pretty much ready to just ask him to induce me now, I'm not a happy pregnant woman at the moment :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-moms/page/32#post-2363929 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:59:37 +0000 Finfan 2363929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Sarah: Congratulations!
