@Emsmems: Hi friend!
I guess I should announce myself here too,even though I was an April mom, or at least I had hoped to be! I'm sitting here at 40+4 and I have a c section scheduled for Thurs, the same as @lilteacherbee: . I have a final check tomorrow morning at my doctor and I'm fully expecting to make it to Thurs for my repeat csec. My doctor said last week that "you make beautiful babies, but they just don't like to come out of your vagina" haha. I'm 0 dilated and only 50%effaced. I was really hoping for a vbac,but I've come to terms with a repeat csec now. Anyways, hi to all you May mamas!
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: well hi! Can't believe we will have babies around the same time again! How funny! I hope you get your vbac but if not, good luck with your c/s!
-
@Emsmems: no kidding! Hopefully our babes will sleep better this time! Lol
-
Good luck to everyone!
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: AMEN!! @StrawberryBee: you too!

My exam yesterday was unchanged
Tentatively set up induction for Monday when I'm 40+5. I went into spontaneous labor with LO1 at 39+3 so I'm really really hoping to go into labor before then. But I'm feeling super grumpy and discouraged right now! Have continued to work even though I was scheduled to be on leave.
-
@MenagerieMama: Ugh, sorry there hasn't been more progress
At least work will keep you busy for a few days? Hope you don't need your induction next week!I just finished up my pre-op appts. Just about 19 hours until baby time
-
Hahahaha, after asking if anyone had a baby... I had a baby! Still writing out the birth story, TLDR--Water got a pinhole Wednesday 4/26 after spin class, but I didn't realize it until Friday 4/28. Went intoβ L&D at 2cm and 80% at 11pm, at 7am 4/29 I had only progressed to 2.5cm. Started Pitocin (my choice) at 8:45am, was 8cm dilated at 11:10am, 10cm at 11:20am, started pushing at 11:22am, and was holding baby Rosalie (!!!) At 11:37am.
So less than three hours of active labor and pushing! No tearing. My first words after her birth were "I KNEW it was a girl!" -
@BrandNewMom: congratulations!!
-
@BrandNewMom: congrats! Love the name!
-
@BrandNewMom: Yayyyy!!! Congratulations!! Can't wait to hear the details!
-
I am 38+5. At my appointment today I had dilated to 5 cm (!!). and I am still having regular contractions. Midwife swept my membranes to give me a little push and the contractions have been stronger since. At this point who knows!?
-
@BrandNewMom: Congrats!
-
@BrandNewMom: Yay, congrats!!
-
Induction set for Monday at noon. I wish it was earlier in the day because I feel like I won't see LO until the next day since unless this baby pops out at lightening speed it'll be past her bedtime. But my other option was Tuesday and so I'm happy my OB made this work. Though still really really hoping she'll pick her birthday before then!!
-
Joanna Elaine was born today at 1140! 7lbs 3 oz, 20 inches. She's nursing like a champ. Big sister came to visit and was so sweet with her! We think she may have DH's curly hair.
-
Annabelle Kate was born this morning- 8 lb 3 oz and 19 inches
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: @lilteacherbee: yay!!! Congratulations ladies!!
-
@BrandNewMom: @abbydabbydoodlebug: @lilteacherbee: congrats ladies on all your sweet girls!
-
Haven't checked in on this board in awhile! Not due until the end of the month, 36+4 so lots of time. Anticipating that she could very likely be a June baby has both my girls were on the later side. Feeling big but not too uncomfortable, still working, staying active, doing CrossFit... excited to meet baby girl #3 in a couple weeks!
-
I'm so happy that it's May and babies are arriving! Congratulations, @BrandNewMom: @abbydabbydoodlebug: and @lilteacherbee: !
39+1 over here. Baby has dropped and I'm getting some cramping and backaches, but nothing seems too imminent. Still working and feeling pretty good!
-
@BrandNewMom: @abbydabbydoodlebug: @lilteacherbee: congratulations on your new little ones!! Hooray for the first wave of May babies!
My daughter arrived on Friday by way of induction! Three weeks early but healthy and content. We are home now and doing great!

@MenagerieMama: hope you are doing well!
-
@Anya: thanks! In the thick of my induction and just got my epidural and am much happier
-
@MenagerieMama: ahh good luck! Come on baby!
-
@Anya: congrats! I'm glad to hear you're both healthy. Was it a smooth induction?
@MenagerieMama: so excited for you!
-
@Clementine12: I was induced early due to cholestasis (diagnosed at 35 weeks). When I arrived I was only 1cm dilated so it was a looong (and boring) day at the hospital, first with prostaglandins to help ripen my cervix, then with pitocin that brought on labor very gradually. Finally in the morning I was 7cm and the midwife broke my water- bam, 10 mins later she was here! So it was a slow burn with a wild ending.
Very different from my first birth where I didn't go into labor until 41 weeks! -
our baby Evelyn arrived via an unplanned cesarean yesterday at 8 pm after 26 hours of labor. 6 lbs 6 oz, 19.75 inches. We are so blessed! She's a champion feeder so far.
-
@Clementine12: congratulations!! She is so precious!! How are you doing mama?
-
@Clementine12: Congrats! She's beautiful!!
-
Induced at 40+5 starting around noon and Isabelle was born just before 10 pm! We are all in love
-
@MenagerieMama: Awwww those lips! Congrats, mama!
-
@MenagerieMama: congratulations!!

My membrane sweep worked!! My star wars baby, Henry was born on May 4th after 6 hours of labor. I had a water birth and got in the tub seconds before pushing him out.
-
@MenagerieMama: Congrats!! So precious!
@JessyMess: Congrats!! He's a cutie! My DD was a May 4th baby too! I think we have 3 now from this group!
-
@JessyMess: congratulations!!!
It is raining babies in here I love it!
