@psw27: I had 6 in about half an hour but nothing for another half hour. Is this normal? I was induced was DS so it was totally different.

@psw27: when they were happening they were all very intense! I asked my one girlfriend and she said hers were the same way and then like two or theee hours later it started again and closer together. Yeah it was horrible! Just let with my son

@bubblegum: so exciting!

@ValentineMommy: thank you! I'm home today so I'll keep everyone posted! @psw27: super exciting!! I would be shocked if I'm able to go in on my own

@bubblegum: Work figures it out! Don't even worry - trust me, I just didn't come back after a weekend once before!

My son has been a stage 5 clinger all the sudden, I wonder if toddlers have a sense about this stuff? Maybe he knows his brother is coming soon?

@psw27: I definitely think toddlers can sense it. Mine has been extra clingy as well!

@bubblegum: So exciting that something is happening. I feel all kinds of aches and pains but not contractions yet.

I am struggling with a couple of things right now. I scheduled a c-section for my due date, considering my history and my GD, I didn't want to go too long and let baby get too big but now I'm thinking I'm setting myself up to not have a chance to VBAC. I'm thinking about pushing it back but not really sure what to do.

Also, I had one awful nurse during my first birth experience and the rest were absolute angels. I hate to mess with anyone's work situation but I kind of want to refuse this nurse this time if I can even do that. She couldn't put the catheter in and caused me a lot of pain trying, she measured me at 9 centimeters and told me it was almost time to push when I was actually 6 and ended up with a c section. She also wouldn't look at or speak directly to my husband which made him feel awkward and was just very strange, we could live with this but the medical stuff really caused stress.

Baby is still breech Womp. Looks like the crazy positions I finagled myself into did nothing this weekend. ECV is scheduled first thing Wed morning, so hopefully I'll have good news after that. Doctor said I have a lot of fluid so that's a good thing. Otherwise C-section scheduled for 39 weeks

@JennyPenny: sorry to hear that. Is the EVC done at the hospital? Fingers crossed he flips back!!

@mrsmacSLP: Hope the sweep helps move things along!

@JennyPenny: I would have the exact same worry, especially since ECV isn't exactly comfortable sounding. Maybe it'll cause you to go into labor naturally!

@psw27: you're right!! Nothing since. I'm kinda disappointed about it. I was hopeful this was it but nothing

@psw27: You can bet I'll be doing all the natural induction techniques I can find to get him out

@psw27: yes and you're almost there too!! I'll be 38 weeks Wednesday so I'm like let's go!!!

@psw27: do you want to make it past 37?! Maybe the baby will surprise you

I am 38 weeks today which is the exact gestation I was when I had DS. Thought for sure this little one would be here by now. Membrane sweep tomorrow!

@MissLace: will do. Fingers crossed your LO is head down and you don't have to consider either

Hey mamas with head down babies, what do your kicks feel like? Up until now I've mostly had a giant lump at the top and occasionally smallish kicks elsewhere. Even when I thought he was head down this is what I was feeling, just the big lump felt maybe like a butt. Suddenly tonight I'm feeling tiny things all over. Like 2-3 small nubbins moving at a time. I can't remember clearly what DS1 felt like but I think this is more similar. This whole pregnancy I've felt like this LO barely moved. I wonder if the 1 doctor who told me by feel that LO was head down was wrong, and I was always wrong and maybe he's flipped!?

@littleblessings: hmm.. Maybe I've gone from breech to transverse then. There is definitely movement ALL over

@JennyPenny: I don't know if this makes you feel better or not, but my baby still flips from breech to head down to transverse multiple times a day. She gets hiccups frequently, so it's easy to tell. That being said, I also have bigger babies, so how she has room to do that, I have no idea!!! Hopefully, your babe will be head down when they do the check!

I'm so excited for you all that are getting close!!! Two more weeks (from tomorrow) for me, until my csection! I WAS going to work right up until my csection, but I've come down with bronchitis, DS1 had a fever and cough last week, and DS2 has a respiratory AND ear infection! We've had a tough week! So, I'm making this my last week and starting my leave early. I think a week "off" to really get prepared (mentally and physically) will really do me some good. DH was surprised when I told him, and frankly, not very supportive about it (huge eyeroll there), but I need to do what I need to do!

@JennyPenny: I just can't keep working! Things have not been slowing down (at work) and I just need to wrap things up and call it a day, you know?? The nursery still isn't totally finished (though the dresser should be coming today) and I just need to nest and get over this lingering illness in the house. I'm going to lysol the hell out of it lol! I would guess the baby is moving down - and your bump sounds exactly like mine! Mine was really high up and I was having trouble breathing, but despite her position, she's definitely moved down lower!
