Hellobee Boards

@skipra: praying that you made progress! looking out for your update!

@Mae: C-section scheduled for Sunday the 11th. Anxious about it, but I trust that it's the best decision to get her out safely.

@Glitter: Your birth story was amazing, congrats!

@skipra: hope it is going well!!!

@Mae: hahaha that is a shit load of garlic! Bet you're going in to labour tonight!

@Mae: ehh.. well that's one i hadn't heard before!

@skipra: congrats!!! I saw pictures of your sweet baby on facebook. Adorable!!! Can't wait to hear more of what happened today!

@skipra: so awesome! woohoo!

@Mae: It's all dependent on what happens to my cervix, but this is pretty much how we are starting and the order of intervention membrane sweep, foley bulb, misoprostol, water break, pitocin

@junebugmama: Good luck today!!

@MRSHONEYBEAR: lol on maxi pad love, +1!

@twodoghouse: Love the pics, thank-you for sharing! Hope they get in a weight gain groove soon, they are too cute!

@Glitter: Glad to hear latch and supply are good, but hopefully LC can help with the pain part, and get rid of that part of it! I said "aww" out loud reading where you cried with your Mom, sweet, and those silly preg hormones, but glad you have such great support!!

@mrsog: Glad nursery and work is behind you, a little downtime before definitely isn't a bad thing!!

@Coopersmama: Eeeee!!! What a great update!!! Love the pic, congrats Momma!! omg about the tooth though!

@cookie_dough: Funny on regret leaving work early, I am sooo still enjoying the time, I need to get on more cleaning, been pretty selfish really on what I have done, I did a few freezer meals yesterday though.

@Mae: Love the updated list + calendar!!! I have moments where I feel there's no one left to have a baby but me, so list is good to see that's not so. lol on the garlic, it just seeps out my skin when I have it, poor DH!

@skipra: read birth story, read part to DH, he is like "and this is what I am afraid of" (he commutes from just over an hour away, plus traffic) what a fast story!!!

I had the worst sleep last night, I think I overdid it so much yesterday and got so little sleep the night before that my body was so sore it made it even more impossible to sleep. Nothing scheduled for today, maybe some cleaning, but I should try to enjoy the nice weather and take it easy. DH says I've dropped.

I didn't even update and sort of why I avoided here for 2 days or so because my last appt was so bad. Weight was 178lbs, bp was fine. I was the last patient of the day and doc was over an hour late seeing me. Literally measured belly, was 36cm and he is like "weird, you were 38cm last week", I was like, uhh....you said I was 32cm last week, I have never measured on size, remember? He just kind of looked at me, totally unsure, listened to baby hb for literally 2 seconds, resident came in for cervical check, same as last week, 2 stretched to a 3, 50% effaced, and then they went on about how baby wasn't coming any time soon, and like....I realize I talk about it like I am okay with it, and I am, but when it's said like it was, I got sort of down about it. Within 5 mins all that happened and I was out the door. I realize I'm not an FTM, but like......discuss something? Not 5 mins of stat checking and on the way? I know I was the last of the long day, but come on. Next week my appt is at 3pm, so at least then I won't be the last appt, but it won't stop the running behind, I asked if I could move it earlier and there weren't any openings, oh well, I will be 40+2 at that appt. I had a really crap counselling appt that day too, so I was pretty "blah", hoping a baby gets in way of next week's appt and I don't have to worry about it, but we'll see.

Here is my 37 week pic compared to 33 and 35 weeks. He's dropped a ton. He wasn't moving too much last night and I was getting worried. When my DH came home from work he tried listening for his heartbeat with his head to my belly. He could find it. If his activity level doesn't pick up this morning, I'm calling the doctor!

@Mae: He is moving more but I'm going to see how he does this morning. Usually, I just have to put my hand on my belly and he moves. Last night I would poke and nothing. That's why I was getting freaked out. I drank some juice and waited. He did move around just not as strongly as I'm used to. Ugh, I'm just anxious. And the low amniotic fluid has me freaked out I guess.

This baby is really quiet on movement this morning too, getting enough, but definitely quiet.

I may go for a nap here, can hardly keep my eyes open!

Some random short contractions here too.....five or so in the last 20 mins.

Well I need more than good thoughts. They gave me an ultrasound this morning and are putting the baby at 11lbs 3oz. This would mean an automatic c-section. It has basically halted the process and now I have to wait until 11am to fight for my rights to attempt a vaginal birth. I'm pretty much as angry as it gets right now.

I am trying to wait for my midwife to show up, before walking out and calling a home birth midwife I know to induce me and let me make an attempt at home.

@junebugmama: I am feeling so much love for you right now, hope that doesn't sound too weird. We have a sono Monday if I haven't gone into labor on my own yet and it is looking very very likely I'll also be over the 11lb mark and facing the same angry conflict. Last thing you want when trying to birth. You've got my thoughts, prayers, commiseration, all of it. xx

@junebugmama: oh no! Can you get another ultrasound to see if maybe they were off? Hope you can come to a mutually agreeable decision

@junebugmama: aww poor mama I hope something will work it self out for you and you and lo come our happy safe and healthy

@skipra: congrats! I haven't gone back to read your story yet but it sounds like a crazy one! Glad everything worked out and you are all doing well.
