Outofhiding and nitecheese sorry for your migraines. When I had one earlier this week I was given Fioricet by the on-call OB. It worked decently well for me. I hope they resolve soon!
I'm sorry carolinaheart. I'm in a similar boat situation-wise--due, no dilation, struggling with fears about induction--but I never felt I could trust my body, and the loss of that comfort must be hard. Maybe think of your body and yourself as equal partners going into this, and yours needs a little help from you. You will work with your body during induction and listen to it when you make decisions about epidurals and anything else that comes up.
Those are my musings, for what it's worth. We'll all be pulling for you Sunday.
Thank you. It's nice to have somewhere to voice my worries and not get a shitty response like "it'll be okay!"
vivela, sorry to hear that his numbers were still rising and hoping you see some improvement tomorrow! Depending on how high his numbers are, is it an option for them to send a blanket home with you for a few days? One of my nieces was able to do the phototherapy at home which made it easier for them to handle. Sorry you're dealing with it at all, and hoping your pedi can help tomorrow!

thanks pbandj714, titania and babyzebra. If I only have them less than a month and I end up with a healthy baby all will be forgotten. As I am eight days out from my due date my doctor did not want to give me prescription meds as I can go into labor at anytime. According to my doctor this just happens to be my badge of pregnancy.
nitecheese I hope you find relief soon. The discomfort at the end of pregnancy is tough witbout this added headache, all pun intended.

I will probably have a similar melt down if I get there. I almost did after my apt this week when they talked about induction on the 20th. Which is just so far away. I managed to pull it together and tell myself I have plenty of time for this to happen on its own but it doesn't seem likely. I'll be so nervous going into my apts next week.
And I'm sick of people checking in and saying "it'll happen when it happens." Eff that!!

My doc is planning to induce me on the 20th if I don't go on my own before then, too! And yes. It feels like forever away. I feel guilty complaining because that would put me at 38w4d, but holy shiz...there is no more room at the inn. I literally may explode. FX for us both to go into labor on our own...soon!

Yea. Dude. You have two in there. I can't even imagine.

Between DS and LO and no time since I'm home alone with both I've been MIA lately. Congrats to all who have had LOs recently and prayers to those who need it.
Having two is hard especially since DS has been a brat the last 3 days and refuses to nap. He's also started hitting LO and being super defiant. Tonight I'm letting him watch all the movies on Netflix just so I can relax a little.
Holy cow you guys. DH's boss's wife had their 4th child in an ambulance on the side of the road today because she and the midwife waited too long to leave for the hospital. He wasn't even there because he was dropping off the kids at a friend's house before meeting them at the hospital. Now that's a memorable birth story! I can't even imagine.

At least there was an ambulance!!
No kidding! It's a good thing they got there in time!! I guess she didn't get very far from home before they called because they weren't going to make it.

Don't mess around with 4th kids. They often come FAST!
Congrats to all those who have had babies and hugs to all those struggling. My mom is here now and we've been shopping and stuff so I haven't been on as much this week and feel like I'm falling behind!
So sorry to everyone struggling and to those trying to figure out induction dates! I know this doesn't always happen, but I had two great experiences being induced-so it doesn't always end up being a disaster!!
Today has been pretty good. I can't believe DD is two weeks old tomorrow. Time flies too fast once they arrive (and too slow at the end of pregnancy!!) We have her two week appt tomorrow-I can't wait to find out how much she weighs!

((Hugs)) vivela in my experience bili levels tend to peak a day or two after weight gain starts. Hopefully numbers will look better tomorrow
pbandj714 and Stringy I won't schedule until next week but I think my induction will be the 20th as well if I need it. Hopefully we all go into labor before then. Especially you pbandj because it is NOT fair to be on bedrest and meds for preterm labor and then need to be induced.

FF-almost-FC: I have cried in the parking lot after every appointment since 38 weeks. With increasing intensity. Haha
And I feel you. Fuuuuuuck youuuuuu if you tell a distressed pregnant woman "she'll come when she's ready" or any variation of that. Seriously. Fuck you.
Also, don't tell me how to induce my own labor. Because yes, perfect stranger, I've tried sex, and no FB friend, I will not drink castor oil. Shut up. /rant
