Hellobee Boards

Today is the day, bees! I have an induction scheduled for 4 pm (cerviidil overnight) but at about midnight last night I started feeling contractions sporadically. I knew this was different than the menstrual type pain I've been having for weeks because of the stomach tightening at the same time. And this morning in the shower around 6 am I lost my mucus plug (TMI) - it looked like petroleum jelly with a tiny bit of blood so I think that's what it was, anyway. Now the contractions are about 30 minutes apart and manageable so we will probably wait at home until our appointment this afternoon unless something gets dramatically worse. I am so glad it seems like my stubborn cervix might actually be favorable to the cervidil now! Yay!! Wish me luck.

@Miss Sarah: Thank you!!! Eeek!

@peaches1038: Thank you!!

@Miss Sarah: Thank you! Contractions got bad fast. At hospital now waiting for epi. No induction the nurse said but she is calling my OB now. Eeeeek.

He's here!! I'll post the full story on the Nov L&D board but I didn't need the induction and it all went smoothly and pretty fast I thought. I only pushed for 30 minutes!

Anyway, we are in love with baby Cooper! He's a big boy at 8 lbs 8 ounces and 21 inches We are all doing great and going home tomorrow!

@wrkbrk: omg congratulations!!!!! He is adorable! So happy for you!
