My water broke the day before I was scheduled but I decided not to risk the vbac and was really happy with my birth experience. My OB sang Happy Birthday to DS as she pulled him out and we did skin to skin until he had to go be checked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308355 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:48:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 2308355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Posting this here too as I was interacting with the Oct board, can't believe I had an October 1 baby!!</p> <p>Induction was longish but went well! I had a 25mg dose of misoprostol at 9:30 (only 2+cm), had been having mild contractions every 7 minutes or so already before anything. After miso and 2 hrs of monitoring got to wak around, go get lunch. Contractions picked up. Started pacing/bouncing then when they started getting bad I got in the jacuzzi tub in my room which was awesome and really moved things along, my water broke in the tub then I asked for the epi..... My nurse got m me fully set up for epi while still in tub and got out, in bed, and epi right away. Good because I was shaking bad, and ctx were bad! I was 6cm at this point. Chilled for a couple hours then was a 10, waited about 30 min to push so he could move down a bit.... Took me an hour of pushing, he was sideways so lots of positions in the bed, then here!!' Long day but so awesome. I'm feeling well (sore) couple minor stitches!</p> <p>Col!n W!lder. 9lbs 6oz, 21 inches long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308336 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:20:36 +0000 ChelseaRose 2308336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I did not and that's ok. My BP was going up and I wasn't showing signs of labor so we scheduled the RCS for 39+6. It was great. We got skin-to-skin in the OR and baby was trying to nurse, so my labor and delivery nurse helped him latch on while they finished the surgery. He was only away from me for about 15 minutes to do his bath and check up in the nursery. Also, he was a very big baby at 9lbs even and 21.5 inches. I'm not sure a VBAC would have been successful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308332 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:15:39 +0000 plantains 2308332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2308330 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:15:31 +0000 plantains 2308330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: co ngratulations!

Are you having any signs that labor could be coming?? I head into the doc this morning, not sure if they will check me but hoping they do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2296720 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 00:58:08 +0000 busylizzy111 2296720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also still here- and I was due the 12th! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2296716 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 23:59:26 +0000 ChelseaRose 2296716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

I've had plenty of BH, but that's about it. I'm only 38w4d, so I can't complain too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2296282 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 12:25:27 +0000 hellobeeboston 2296282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@elljay: any action?!

I was due Aug 8 with K, but she came late and a bunch of people went early, so I was one of the last! And yes- it's crazy that we're home already (3hours after the birth), but it has been SO nice and relaxing. The midwives will be here in about an hour for a follow up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2296269 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 11:54:53 +0000 hellobeeboston 2296269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: is it just us?? This happened to me last time! I had my first on October 26 and I think I was the last!</p> <p>Anything happening with you? I have had a lot more cramping this weekend than normal, and BH contractions at night are pretty strong, so all good things, but nothing yet. I am def going overdue it seems as my due date is tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2296257 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 11:29:36 +0000 ChelseaRose 2296257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: Thank you! Last time it was the opposite because I was a November 2012 mom and ended up having my LO in October. I hope you and baby M are doing well at home! I can't believe you're discharged already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2015-moms/page/27#post-2296244 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 10:58:49 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2296244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: aww- that's what's the worst about due dates later in the month...you totally feel like you're the only ones left.

Today is my last day as well, since I'll be induced Sunday night if I don't go into labor on my own before then. </p> <p>I had an ultrasound and NST yesterday at 40+3, and baby boy is way too comfortable in there! I really thought he would have at least dropped by now, but he's still way up in my ribs. Oh well - he'll be here soon enough either way! :happy: </p> <p>Sorry to hear about all these colds - feel better @hellobeeboston and @2PeasinaPod! </p>
