My OB told me that baby K needs to change positions or there's a chance they'll have to do a vertical csection. I'm open to all advice on how to get a transverse (sideways) baby head down. In better news my restrictions are all lifted since I'm 37 weeks tomorrow.
I tried everything on Spinning Babies for DD2. It wasn't effective for me because I stand, sit, and move off-balance. Really watch your alignment in everyday life on top of spinning babies type stuff. Once life simmers down, I want to work with someone to fix my alignment.
The school cut of here is Oct 1st. So when we were picking a date for the c section for B that's the date we chose (and my doc recommended it since the first slot was available that Monday morning).
I'm pretty sure our cut off here is "by the first day of school". Which is the week following Labor Day each year. Absolutely DNW to deal with that mess in theory, let alone being in your position. C'mon, baby Joy! Clear up some of this anxiety for us, mmkay?

Phildelphia makes no exceptions: must be five on or before September 1st.
A lot can happen in five years, of course. But, I want to decide what's right for my kid and not some arbitrary date on the calendar.
Yeah, ours is very strict, too. If they aren't 5 on the day school starts, no dice. No exceptions. But at least that gives me a tiny bit of leeway? Worst case scenario, they'd need to be born before Sept 2, here. :| So might as well be Sept 1.

As a reward to myself for spending the day in L&D and not coming home with a baby, I am having a pre-bedtime snack. A snickers bar and a big red soda. I'm pretty happy.
countrycotton, sounds like that could have been my day today, except I never talked myself into actually going to the hospital during the 8 freakin hours of false labor this morning.
You ladies who have been dealing with this prodromal labor crap, hats off to you, my friends. It threw me off so bad, I was sure there was gonna be a baby today! It felt just like early labor with DD1! I didn't have even a single BH with her, let alone false labor.
It is really true, every pregnancy is different. At least my scheduled Doc appt is in the morning so maybe we can find out if anything else is going on. Sigh. I am now on the fence about a cervical check, whereas before I was all, Nahhhh.... boo.

I am having a hell of a day. Warning, probably a long rant ahead. So today was my day to sleep in, but DD actually slept in pretty late herself so I was ready to get out of bed. I decided to go pay some bills and take care of some things before baby comes. So I tell DH I'm getting ready to leave and he needs to get up to watch DD. I changed her nighttime diaper to be nice, even though it was his day to get up with her. While I'm gone I suddenly get all these nasty texts from him saying she pooped before I left and I should have changed it and I didn't wash her bottles when I got up. I was like, um, it was your turn to get up with her and do those things, why are you complaining that you have to do some parenting? Which then he accused me of saying that he wasn't doing any parenting blah blah blah. Totally dumb argument and he had no basis for any of it, it was his turn. I was nice enough to change her first diaper for him. Then I get back home and I had my final ob appt at 1:15. It was with the ob doing my rcs whom I've only met a couple of times. I told him the day I made the appointment that it was important for him to go with me. I reminded him numerous times when the appointment was. we even discussed it that morning. So it comes time to leave, and he says he "doesn't feel good" and isn't going to go. I was so furious and hurt, I just started sobbing and left. I cried through half the appointment. And I texted him that if he wasn't going to care enough to come to the appointment, that I didn't want him in the OR with me. This resulted in a very long text fight. To top things off, my ob's office parking lot was under construction so I had to find street parking downtown and walk in freaking hundred degree heat. We had dinner with a bunch of my family which was actually nice. But then, I asked him if he was going to work tomorrow. He's missed a lot of work lately due to being sick. He said probably not. I'm like, uh we NEED that money for bills! And he pretends like he's going to put forth an effort to go but I'm not an idiot, I can already tell he isn't. He gets into this thing where if he misses some work, he just stops going. He has completely screwed us over financially by doing this and he's already doing it again. I'm so angry. And so done with his selfishness. Yesterday, I asked for a back rub after helping him with yard work for hours, 8.5 months pregnant and it's 100 degrees outside. He seriously would NOT give me a back rub without me giving him sexual favors in return. I'm carrying your baby, isn't it the least you can do? I'm just so over this and I'm so over today.
Ooooooh shehulk723 , I am on your side, I would be SO pissed. Mister would be getting a very loud and pointed wakeup call in the morning from me. He sounds like he needs a SERIOUS CTJ chat. Not wanting to go to an appointment or give a backrub... fine, ok, I get it. Bitching about having to hold up his predetermined parenting duties? Jeopardizing ALL of your financial stability by being a lazy ass? Oh, HELL, no. I am fuming for you.
Edit: and you know what? Give it to him straight tonight. Let him know the full measure of your disgust and disappointment in him. He is your partner, for godssake. He AGREED to all of this family stuff. He needs to step up pronto.

Yeah, if he actually doesn't show tomorrow I'm going to sit down and make him explain exactly how we're supposed to pay the bills at the end of the month. I have a tendency to go into shehulk mode (aka rage out on him lol) when this kinda stuff happens. Which of course never helps. So I'm going to TRY to have a very serious but calm discussion with him.

venyia I was convinced that you were having your baby today. Sorry that didn't happen, and you were stuck with false labor instead.
shehulk723 Wow, that's rough! I hope you can have a productive conversation with him tomorrow!
My oldest started kindergarten today. That x postpartum hormones x the sappy letter (with Kleenex packs) the teacher left on each desk.... I was a bit of a wreck. But she loved it and is so, so ready for kindergarten. (Actually, she was born 20 days after the cutoff in our old state, so was plenty ready a year ago, but no exceptions made. Now I worry she'll be bored. My son, on the other hand, could probably use an extra year.)
Thanks dorkusmalorkus, I am glad I am not just crazy in thinking the baby signals were firing off! Now... she can wait til the weekend is over, that'd be ok.
Well Baby Girl is cluster feeding and won't stop screaming unless she's on the boob so I will take this sleepless night as an opportunity to update.
Sorry I don't have the energy for tagging but I am reading and love-titting and rooting for all of you! hummingbird125 happy induction day tomorrow.
I will post the full birth story later but here's the short version: Induction scheduled to begin Monday night but was delayed until Tuesday morning. 31 hours later progress was stalled at 4cm. Doctors decided my uterus was too distended from the twins to contract effectively and we were at the point where continuing to labor would increase the risk of complications to me (specifically bleeding). Decided to move to a c-section. I reacted badly to the anesthesia which made the experience much more terrible than I ever imagined. I wasn't able to interact with my babies for hours after the birth. Thankfully we are all recovering quite well.
Baby A (boy) was born at 6:00pm weighing 6lb and measuring 19in. Baby B (girl) was born at 6:01pm weighing 6lb10oz and measuring 20in. They are both so amazing.
So far having newborn twins has been awesome and challenging. We are exhausted, especially now that cluster feeds have entered the picture. But they had very little trouble latching and I started producing colostrum right away, so I consider myself lucky. The hospital staff has been great and my parents and ILs have been super helpful.
Sorry to hear about the reaction to the anesthesia bocaburger but glad you all are doing well!! And the bocatwins are absolutely gorgeous!!! Congrats mama!!
