@happygal: @namaste: @mrs. Blue: thanks guys. I caved and called the midwife this morning and they are having me get checked out at triage. Never had to visit the hospital pre-birth with C so this is all pretty weird. Plus I NEED to be out of here by 11:30 to pick up C from preschool which judging from the speed of things here and the non-emergency-ness of this visit could be tricky.
it is tough cuz I am sure they will say, take Tylenol, take it easy and sorry but this is just one of the less glorious parts of being pregnant.

@Mrs. Confetti: Aw, feel better! Hope all is okay! Keep us updated.
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Oh no hope everything is okay / you feel better! I've learned from visiting twice a week for NST's that if you need to leave at a certain time to definitely let the nurse know - otherwise they take their sweet time since you don't appear to be an emergency "holy crap this baby is coming out" type case.
-
Appt. this morning went well. I was in and out in 30 min - a record! I don't have to be swabbed for GBS since they already know I have it (urine) and she said cervical check was optional at my next appointment. I think I'll only have her do it if I feel like I have had an unusual number of BHs.
-
@Mrs. Confetti: hoping everything is OK.
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Hoping all is well at the clinic. And you are able to finish up on time to make it to daycare.
@Radish: Glad to hear that your appointment was a breeze!
-
@mfa_lady: Good to hear such a high percentage of babies figure it out on their own!
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Thinking of you!
@Radish: Yay for quick appts!!
I had my 35 week this am, GBS test and my BP is looooow
midwife is happy that C is still chilling!
-
@sorrycharlie: yay great news!
-
@sorrycharlie: Yay, sounds like you will likely make it to January!
-
@sorrycharlie: Great news!

So I have been on the friggin monitor now for 45+ minutes, very obviously not in labor. They call the crotch lightning type cramps "uterine irritability". Even though I am cleeeeeeeearly not in labor, I got a cervical check (1 CM, -3station) which obviously means nothing, and the nurse expects that my pain is just very strong round ligament pain. She is checking with my midwife to see if she wants to see me, but probably not (my guess) and this has just been a long and glorious waste of my time. Thanks for all the check ins everyone - you guys are all amazing and I can't believe we are all about to have BABIES!!!
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Sorry you are dealing with the pain and wasted time, but at least you know everything is good!
-
@Radish: totally. So true. Thanks
-
@Mrs. Confetti: So sorry you're stuck there--but glad you're getting a good report!
-
@Radish: @sorrycharlie: Glad your appointments went well!
@Mrs. Confetti: Crotch lightening is far more relatable term.
Glad everything is OK. Hope you can go home soon!
-
@sorrycharlie: that's great!!
@Mrs. Confetti: sorry you're stuck there, but glad to hear everything looks ok.
37 week appointment for me today: baby is in the right position (head down and facing my back), but still high. I skipped the cervical check so no news there.
And I just realized I forgot to ask about my GBS results - they never called which usually means it was negative but I meant to follow up today. -
Sorry for the late check-in today. My appointment went well. Baby is in a great position and I am not dilated. So I got the go ahead to stop bedrest! Best Christmas present ever.
Also baby is not going to be small. The Dr. had a hard time getting all the measurements because she's so cramped in there.@Mrs. Confetti: sorry about the awful day today.
-
@Pumuckl: Yay for a great appointment! Welcome back to the non bedridden world
-
@Pumuckl: That is awesome news!

Long time, no talk! Baby cakes is here!! It's was a quick an easy delivery. I had a dr appt yesterday around 4:15 and was 4 cm dialated (I was 3cm and 80% last Wednesday at my appt. they sent me I my way. Contractions started around 1:30, this am. I called to let the dr know what was going on around 4. It's been a super busy day so I didn't hear back from her until about 4:30. We got admitted around 6am and I was 8 cm. by the time I was in bed and settled, they told me meds basically weren't an option and that I was ready to go. Pushed though 4 contractions, and my big boy was born. No stitches, success!! Baby boy was born at 7:12am 8 lbs 12.5oz, 20in, 2 weeks early! What a whirlwind. We'll be on our way home mid morning tomorrow
-
@Cupcake: aw congrats!!! So glad to hear it went smoothly. First baby of our due date thread! So exciting.
-
@Cupcake: congrats!! Our first baby!!
Had my 39 week appointment... Cervix is closed up tight. GBS negative.
-
@Cupcake: Congrats!!! So exciting! Sounds like an awesome delivery.
-
@charmed: @Pumuckl: Yay for great appointments! So glad you're both doing fine.
@Cupcake: Congratulations!!! So happy for your Christmas gift.
-
@Cupcake: Congrats, so exciting!
-
@Cupcake: yay, glad all went well! Congratulations on your baby boy!
-
@oliviaoblivia: So good the GBS is negative. Sorry there's no dilation down there.
@Cupcake: Congratulations!
-
@Cupcake: yay first January baby is here! Congratulations on your baby boy and on the smooth labor. How was the pain with the contractions? It seems like you stayed at home for most of it
-
@Pumuckl: glad you're no longer on bed rest!
@Mrs. Confetti: sorry you wasted your time but at least it was reassuring. -
Thanks everyone!
@pmrlady: I've been told I have very controlled breathing, and to be completely honest the only reason I was set on an epidural was for the actually delivery. Apparently I didn't really need it. I can't even remember what it felt like!
-
@Cupcake: CONGRATULATIONS! Yay!!!!!
-
@Cupcake: Congrats!! So happy that everything went smoothly, and enjoy the holidays with you newborn!
-
@Cupcake: whoa congrats Mama!! So glad you had such a smooth delivery (+ no stitches = amazing!). Very happy for you!
-
@Cupcake: Congratulations!! So happy for you! Enjoy your adorable new Christmas present
-
So exciting that the January babies have started to arrive! You ladies have a special place in my heart and I have been peeking into this thread every once in a while. Best wishes to you all as your due dates approach.
-
@Cupcake: CONGRATS!!! Hope you have a lovely Christmas snuggling that sweet baby boy!
Yay for our first January baby!
-
@Anya: So glad you popped in! Your due date will be approaching before you know it, lady!
-
@Cupcake: Congrats on the little one!! Your a champ for making it through un-medicated and w/o any stitches!! Great job mama!
I'm suprised at how many Jan babies are following directions and staying put until January.....it's probably the last time they will be this behaved for a LONG time! hahaha
Nothing new going on here; just getting the final things ready for Christmas. Only downfall is both DH and I are working all through the holidays (minus Christmas Day) to save up time off for when baby gets here, so it's been a little hectic. DH had to have eye surgery earlier this fall, so he's worried about not having enough PTO earned back by the time LO gets here to take even just 2 weeks off. I'm betting great grandma will 'offer' to come up and help out for a bit, which is both a blessing and curse at the same time!
-
@Cupcake: and so it begins. Yeah for January babies! Congrats! Can't wait to see pictures of our group's first baby. I'm so glad the delivery was easy, and that you get the present ever for Christmas!
it is tough cuz I am sure they will say, take Tylenol, take it easy and sorry but this is just one of the less glorious parts of being pregnant.
Glad everything is OK. Hope you can go home soon!
