It's my due date and I have my 40wk appointment in an hour! I'm hoping he'll just tell me to go to the hospital to be induced, but I never know with him. I was 3cm last week so hopefully I've made progress and it will be time!

@renee0106: Good luck at your appointment!
I had my 39 week appointment today. Last week I was 1 cm, this week I'm a "loose" 1 cm. So no real progress even though I've randomly had contractions here and there. I was hoping to go before my due date this time but I'm starting to not see that happening. She went over again with me how we could talk about induction at 41 weeks but that I could go to 42 weeks if I want to, as long as I have stress tests. The plan is to go to 42 if this baby just does not want to come out but we'll see how things progress!

@renee0106: happy due date! It's mine too.
I had contractions for almost 2 hours early this morning that were 7 minutes apart. Then they just stopped on me. Hopefully I'm making some progress. I took my 40 week photo and it's obvious that I've dropped since last week. I'm so nervous and excited for my induction. I wish I was going today! My mom thinks I'm going to go into labor tonight. We'll see!

@Mrs. Pickle: happy due date to you too! Sounds like you might be closer to going than me! I'm still not sure I've felt contractions.

@renee0106: good luck! I hope you've made progress and the baby is here soon!
@BelugaBean: oh man, you are patient!! did you go early or late with LO1?
@Mrs. Pickle: exciting!! I totally would have called the dr after 2 hours of that. Do you have an appt before your induction on Thurs?

@hilsy85: I was four days overdue so I'm hoping I don't go past that this time! I'm still trying to be hopeful for this week.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
@hilsy85: no more appointments for me. My doctor is on call Thursday, so she'll be the one to deliver the baby unless my induction drags on.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
@renee0106: exciting! I hope it goes quickly for you.

@renee0106: good luck!
@Mrs. Pickle: the close contractions sound promising. Maybe your mum will be right. Good luck.
I think my baby is sticking it out for the long haul. My due date is tomorrow.

@renee0106: yay! Are you dilated any more? I hope it's an easy process!

@hilsy85: Yes I was almost at 4cm! And he said the head was super low, like he said he is surprised he hasn't fell out! Maybe that's what they always say but it was really surprised I'm not in labor already.

38+6 checkup today - OB did another sweep, hurt like a bitch this time...this particular OB said she's been 5/5 of her sweeps in the last month, so fingers crossed.

@renee0106: Good luck!!
@babycanuck: I'm not sure if there's any truth to this, but I've heard that if a membrane sweep doesn't hurt, then it's not going to be effective. Hopefully this time it puts you into labor!

@jodyblair: blah, mine last week hurt and did nothing
@babycanuck: good luck, hope something happens in the next 24-48 hours!

Thanks to all!! Sorry I am not writing much but I'm following along! Hoping to see more October babies very soon!
@renee0106: good luck with your induction!
@Mrs. Pickle: one way or another you are so close!!!
@babycanuck: hope it works! You're almost there!
I know I'm missing comments I wanted to write but we are gonna have dinner and get dd in bed, right in time for ds to probably start being more fussy. Will try to catch up soon!

Still not much progress at my appointment today, but my Ob went ahead and stripped my membranes. So frustrating! I am an impatient person to begin with, but waiting on a baby tests your patience like nothing else!

@jodyblair: totally commiserating! I am SO antsy over here...have been doing some power walking yesterday and today, going to try to for accupuncture tomorrow, dr's appt friday and she will strip my membranes, and then if nothing happens by saturday morning, going to have another accupuncture appt. I am SO ready to have this baby! I hope it happens soon for both of us.

@jodyblair: I feel you. Day 3 of being on leave and just trying to fill my day. Spent all day yesterday cooking up a storm, today is a sewing day. Torn between wanting the baby to keep baking away until it's ready, and just wanting to hold it already!

@renee0106: good luck!!!
@BelugaBean: hope it happens soon for you and you don't have to wait that long!!
@Mrs. Pickle: hope your induction goes well or you go into labor before it!
@jodyblair: @hilsy85: hope both your membrane sweeps will be successful!
Yay so many more October babies coming soon!

So my induction got pushed back. I have no clue when I'm going in now. I'm waiting on a call.

@Mrs. Pickle: Frustrating! I came to this thread to see how it was going. I know what that feels like - it happened to me with M. I had waiting for the call to finally go in.

Good luck to everyone as due dates approach! Haven't been posting much, just snuggling with my new main man (and feeding him every 2 hours). Hope everyone has a smooth and uneventful delivery!

@Mrs. Pickle: I'm sorry - that must be so frustrating. Hopefully you will get the call soon and things get moving quickly!

Thomas Alan was born on October 7 at 1:54pm l. 7 lbs 7ozs and 20.5 inches long.
Induction, labor, and delivery went very smooth and I only pushed for 1 and 1/2 hrs. I'll get a picture posted when he wakes up this morning.
