Cervix dilated 1cm and 50% effaced with baby's head far down. Having contractions but they aren't painful or regular at this point. Had Misoprostol pill placed to get things moving so now I'm confined to the bed for the next two hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/110#post-1139432 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 06:46:52 +0000 MapleMoose 1139432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStormy: @MrsClownfish: @illumina: Thanks girls! :heart: Waiting for the call from the hospital. They can call us in anytime between 6am to 10pm. Was hoping my labor would start on its own but it is what it is. I'm just excited for the prize at the end. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/110#post-1139323 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 22:53:34 +0000 illumina 1139323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: thinking of you today :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1139285 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 21:59:21 +0000 MrsClownfish 1139285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: good luck tomorrow!

Can't wait to hear about your lo's arrival! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1133143 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 08:06:38 +0000 MapleMoose 1133143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsClownfish: I hope things progress on their own without needing the induction but we shall see. Great birth story. At least your water broke in the parking lot rather than while sitting inside the restaurant! How are you settling in with your bundle of joy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1133082 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 06:36:36 +0000 MrsClownfish 1133082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: I know how you must be feeling being overdue but I bet you go into labor before our induction an if not I am sure I will all go smoothly :)</p> <p>As for my birth story ..... I called he doctor on Monday morning thinking I was going to be induced that day but was told there was no beds an that it would be Tuesday into Wednesday and we would start with cytotec even though I was already dilated. I was not happy about it of course. We decided to go out to lunch and as we were jut leaving after eating my water broke in the parking lot. </p> <p>I knew if I called the doctor I would be on a timeline to deliver but wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do. So I called the doctor and was sent to the hospital to confirm. Water definitely broken I was admitted and then had a little fight with the resident doctor and med student who told me I had to have continuous monitoring and lay down. I called my doctor and was taken off the monitor and allowed to walk around for two hours.</p> <p>After that I was checked and ultimately made to lay back down because the baby's head was still high and thy were very concerned about cord prolapse since my water had already broken. This is when they suggested pitocin to get me dilated some more since I was at 2 1/2. Contractions were intense and I resigned myself to the fact that if they were going o get them to every 2 minutes I would need the epidural. At least I was able to use my hypnobabies breathing while I go the epidural and it didn't hurt at all. </p> <p>I labored through the night and was at 6 cm when I started to feel the urge to bear down. This was because the baby's head was low. I got a boost on my epi to quell the urge until I had fully dilated. By 8 am I was 8cm and shortly thereafter was fully dilated. I was super excited to push but after 2 1/2 the baby would not budge over my tailbone though my pelvis. It sucked especially since the nurses and my husband could see the top of his head every time I pushed. My doctor suggested the c section after 1 1/2 hours but let me push for another at my request. </p> <p>After 25 hours labor, baby was born by c section. </p> <p>I am super bummed that I did no get to birth vaginally but am not sure what I could have done to change the outcome. </p> <p>Anyways.....that is Leon's birth story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1132864 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 20:58:38 +0000 MapleMoose 1132864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStormy: Exactly! The end is in sight. I'm trying to stay busy so time passes quicker. Hope all is well with the new baby. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1132850 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 20:41:48 +0000 MrsStormy 1132850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: I'm sorry your still waiting :-( I'm sure that's frustrating! But the end is in sight, less than a week no matter what until you get that show on the road! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1132728 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:57:30 +0000 MapleMoose 1132728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleGBee: I hope my baby follows suit and is a good sleeper like your babies! That would be nice. Waiting is torture. Is your older child old enough to understand why mommy can't pick her up right now? If she isn't, at least she probably won't remember this anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1132696 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:35:18 +0000 LittleGBee 1132696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: Got any hills to climb? :) I'm happy to hear that baby is quite comfortable in there, but I'm sorry you have to experience the past-due eternal waiting. Total bummer. I hope that baby gives you a nice, easy labor and is a great sleeper upon arrival! Both my babies have been late and big and have also been fantastic sleepers..so maybe it's actually a thing? Who knows. </p> <p>Life with two has been good so far. I feel great, but that means that I'm at risk for doing too much, so I got a scolding from the midwives today. Oops. I miss holding my older kiddo and it breaks my heart that I can't pick her up right now. I'm trying to get her to snuggle, but she's really not a snuggler. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1132689 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:28:31 +0000 MapleMoose 1132689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleGBee: Had another appointment today. Scheduled a non-stress test and fluid check ultrasound for Monday morning. They scheduled my induction for Wednesday. Had a cervical check again today and while baby's head is very far down and my cervix is softened and thinned, I'm still not dilated at all. Having contractions but they keep tapering off. Thank you for asking! I feel like I've been pregnant forever. How's life as a new mommy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1132677 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:19:39 +0000 LittleGBee 1132677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: How are you doing?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-due-dates/page/109#post-1125204 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 05:28:51 +0000 illumina 1125204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsClownfish: congrats mama!
