@Sadieloo: thanks, that's what my DH keeps saying. Hopefully, one day things will start moving quick

@ladybee: I never got checked and was convinced I'd go into labor late and as it turned out, I went into labor a day early and was fully dilated by the time we got to the hospital!!!

@Sadieloo: the bright side is now I can relax instead of worrying about baby coming early. Either way this baby can't stay more than 3 weeks!

@Jennimac: Thinking about you this morning! I hope everything goes well and just think, you will be holding your girl in a few hours!!!
We had a good night. Hyla spent a bit of time in the nursery yesterday afternoon to have her stomach suctioned. She swallowed a lot of amniotic fluid during birth and was having trouble spitting it up. Them she spent another hour with them at 3:00 this morning because she was having trouble with gas and spitting up, so Daddy and I took the opportunity to SLEEP. He's still sleeping, Since he was up for well over 36 hours.

@Jennimac: sending you good thoughts and wishes. You'll get to meet your baby girl soon!
@evansjamie: well done getting some sleep! Glad Hyla is getting excellent treatment too. How are you feeling?
So we survived our first night at home and I had only one moment of panic that Alex wasn't getting enough to eat. DH was sleeping and I felt like such a failure! Thankfully, he made up for it in his next feeding. And the motherhood anxiety begins!

@ladybee: I know exactly how you feel! After being told by my chiro I'd go early (I mean, it's not an OB but I hadn't considered it) I got that into my mind, and now here I am past 39... it's hard managing your expectations! Very excited to see when our little ones decide to have their birthdays

@evansjamie: poor Hyla!!!! She was too excited glad they're getting her taken care of and that you guys get/got some sleep. She is such a cutie!!!
@Sadieloo: yay for first night home! UGH I wish I was back home I would have already brought you a freezer meal or pizza or something I bet he's so happy to be HOME!

I had my 40 wk appt this morning (technically I am 39w6d). Cervix is still at 2.5 cm/50% and I had my membranes scraped. Not sure if this will help - also had a NST scheduled for next Tuesday as well as an induction date for next Friday. I am hoping spontaneous labor will occur between now and the 18th!

Had a couple of contractions at 5am today, scared the crap out of me! I've been having a ton of BH contractions, where my stomach just feels tight and gets all pointy/funny looking, but these ones felt like cramps and I kind of freaked out thinking it was go time! I only had a few, and they were 10+ minutes apart, but it made me really realize just how much I figured I'd go late (today is 39w2d).

@mrs. mochi: hope the membrane scraping helps!
@kjpugs: you're so sweet! You'll little one will be here any day now!! I think Alex is pretty happy to be home. His sister on the other hand seems to be indifferent but is doing great with the transition.

I am both totally excited for all the new babies, and so frustrated that mine is just taunting me at this point!
I'm dilated to about a "3.5" (apparently it's more than 3, but not quite 4), and have been having sporadic contractions (some really painful) for a week, but the nurse-midwife at my OB practice told me this morning that I could easily go another week or two like this... it's driving me bananas! (there are times when a contraction is intense enough to wake me up at night.. but then they go away for a while!)
She told me prostaglandins would help, so I told DH that we are going to see how many times we can get it on in the next 24 hours. (Ugh. While I am usually up for nookie any time, any place, "any time" does not particularly include "times when I feel like a baby is about to fall out of my vagina at any moment.")

@Sadieloo: so cute!
@Lozza: LOL yes, I know exactly what you mean

@SADIELOO: He's so adorable! I do hope the sweeping jump starts things soon. I can tell you this...my "cramps" that I've been experiencing off and on the past few weeks are definitely more intense and now my lower back is hurting - which is a first for me during this pregnancy! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high and think I'll see this baby in the next 24-48 hours.

@evansjamie: Awww what a great family shot
@Jennimac: I commented already on your other thread but she is such a cutie so she gets two comments

@kjpugs: Can't wait to see pics of all your little ones getting to know each other Thanks also for keeping track and updating everyone's status.
@Lozza: Good luck! I hope that works out for you and way to take one for the team. I think most of us would agree that that was the last thing that we all wanted to do!
@mrs. mochi: Thanks! A couple days before my labor really started I was def getting back pain. Granted I thought it was from too much walking. Getting excited for you!!
@evansjamie: You look amazing for just having given birth. In fact I think your DH looks more worn out than you. Way to go!
@Jennimac: Congratulations! She is beautiful and look at those cheeks!!! Awesome that she's a champion eater. Hope you are all doing well!

So many babies!!! Congrats ladies so glad to hear everything is going so well for the October mommas and mommas to be. My little princess is keeping me quite busy. She's almost 2weeks old and we're starting to fall into a routine. Breast feeding is going well we had a weight check yesterday and she surpassed her birth weight. She gained 9oz in 6 days hubs is back at work I think I'm healing well and otherwise I can't complain too much. Has anyone started a October 2013 mamas thread?

@kjpugs: Induction is scheduled for tomorrow. I'll be 9 days overdue. Baby just doesn't want to leave! I am so ready to meet her.

@MapleMoose: I was wondering if they had talked induction with you, but I didn't want to be annoying & ask! So exciting that you get to meet your LO tomorrow!!!

@evansjamie @sadieloo @maplemoose @kjpugs: thanks, ladies! believe it or not i'm in the office today...i tried to stay at home but i felt like i was going crazy. my contractions are still sporadic but it feels as if the back pain is here to stay. i'm starting to think all this pain is for nothing and just a side effect of getting my membranes stripped *le sigh*
grapefruit / 4862 posts
@mrs. mochi: I think I'd have to be working too unless I was *SURE* - or else you can go crazy! Hope the contractions get their act together!
kiwi / 726 posts
@MapleMoose: happy induction day! Keep us posted on baby girl!
@mrs. mochi: I hear you! I was also working the day I went into labor. I would have gone crazy waiting to go into labor! Hope the backache turns into real contractions!
