Good luck alicia0818!

I'm waiting to head out to my OB appt in a few minutes. I've had 3 contractions since waking up 2 hours ago. I hope they are at least doing something!
I keep reading birth stories that start with prodromal labor & they all seem to end in a photo finish when mom finally figures out she's in active labor & heads to the hospital. Which is concerning since I'm GSB+.

They can pump a bag of IV abx in you very quickly if needed

Good luck! Keep us updated after your appt. How far progressed were you last check?

[cheeseandrice]

Morning. My BP check is at 10:30 this morning. I sent H to work because 'it'll be fine' secretly I'm kind of hoping that jinxes us and he has to leave early. Lol

It's chilly here today but supposed to be back into the high 60s all week? It was 24 yesterday morning with a hard frost. Make up your mind, Mother Nature.

That's what's supposed to happen over here too, cheeseandrice, except it's not quite that cold! It would be nice if it just stayed one way or the other.


Speaking of wine, I guess 8:30 is too early for wine? I was thinking of claiming wine is the new mimosa.

Depends. Do you have an actual day/night right now anwyay?

Just claim a nb schedule at 8am is more like 5pm.

The one morning I can't sleep in F decides to get some extra ZZZ's. I don't have any big plans today. I am going to go to the local BF support group in the morning. In the afternoon I am going to paint my toes.

@ali7p FX the contractions are doing something. I had random contractions with F and DD1. When my OB did a cervical check at 38w5d I was 3 cm. Hopefully you will have some dilation!

[Deleted]

Good luck cheeseandrice! & thanks for letting me know the abx can happen quickly, I assumed it took a while.
I'm chilling in the waiting room. At the hospital I was 1.5 cm. at my 35 week appt I was told I was near 2, but that was almost 4 weeks ago.
TMI: I did lose a chunk of my MP when giving my sample (not in the cup) & I didn't pee on my hand!!!

[bradysalon]

cheeseandrice I, too, am I at the OB- again!! Seems like I am here every other day. Hopefully my BP is good now that I have been out of work for almost a week.
@ali7p good luck. I hope all these cx mean something.

I need to ask how far after 40w they will let me go. Everyone seems to think I won't make it to my due date but I'm over 38w and still here and pregnant. We'll see.

[traversity]

Baby boy is doing some funky moves in there and I'm feeling some extra pressure. I'm hoping it means somethings happening.
I also hope it doesn't happen until next Monday, as this is the last week I'll have only one kid, and I have Stuff planned everyday for him!!

[cheeseandrice]

I am having weird cramps. I can't tell if it's semi-contractions or if I just need to poop.

alll the glamours of pregnancy.

This was me all weekend. :/

[cheeseandrice]

@boxerific does your H give lessons?

[link7913]

Fingers crossed for both of you @ali7p & cheeseandrice.

I'm hungry, but holding a sleeping baby. She smells so good. Do I continue to cuddle or put her down and eat breakfast?

[bradysalon]

thinkingoutloud fx you go into labor any day now!!

BP was good today! Yay! Now it's just the waiting game. Baby boy- you can come any day now. We will be so happy to have you in our lives early!!

[Deleted]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

I'm at work, at little confused about my dilation. My OB said I was at 2cm, 50% effaced, cervix is soft and baby is "right there" (she didn't give a station/position). The OB at the hospital told me I was 1.5, but entered 1 cm. So my OB was excited for my progress. I was nearly 2 at my 35 week appointment, I read that the cervix can "regress" and that the checks are some times subjective.

I asked about a membrane strip, she said she didn't recommend it this week. But if I haven't delivered by my appointment next week (will be exactly 40 weeks) she'll do it then. My appointment is with her so she asked me to reminder her about it. Then she said if I haven't delivered by 41 weeks she would schedule an induction. Since I had DD at 28 weeks, I've never faced that before & I've decided not to stress about it until I need to.

So I'll be walking a lot and hopefully can have some sexy time with H (he's super busy with work for the next two days so I'm hoping he won't be too tired).

Good luck today cheeseandrice and @ali7p


I keep getting cramping again the last two days a month after delivery. I don't remember it starting again after it stopped last time.

I have to take ryker to his one month check up this morning, then probably hit up the store for some fruit. Later I need to give my puppy's a bath and vacuum. And now I am really thinking about doing my nails today also.

[bradysalon]

cheeseandrice BP was good. They drew blood again to make sure my count is still good and still want to see me 2x a week. I am dilated 1cm and 50% effaced. She said baby is lower but not totally in position.


Question: I know this has been covered by I just want to me sure. When I got home from the OB, I went to the bathroom and wiped. I was bleeding and had a big clot. Is this possible MP or just bleeding from getting my cervix checked? TMI I know.

Was it bright red or more like mucus with some blood in it?

Could be either. Was the clot like a big vag CM booger? That's more of what the MP usually looks like. I've spotted and cramped after checks but never a big clot. I've had extra discharge for awhile though. Maybe because I've been partially dilated for a few weeks already?

It was dark red/Brown.  Looked like a clot I would have with my period.

Probably just from the check.  But you should give your OB a call, mine always warns me of spotting after a check but I count blood clots as more than spotting.

Little man had his 2 week well baby today. He was born 8lb 1 oz, managed to drop to 7lb 9oz at 3 days old, and is now 8lb 12oz. I think it's safe to say that this little guy loves to eat and is a chunk like DS2 (born 8lb 6oz and weighed 10lb at 2 weeks).

[bradysalon]

@justplanelove lonelydoll
My OB keeps saying the same thing. STOP getting my hopes up because I will cut you when I'm 41 weeks and you are inducing me.

[coffee001]

bradysalon, I would call you OB and just let them know. I was bleeding before my water broke and my doctor was very concerned.

[coffee001]

I just got back from his 1 month check up, I totally have a 9 pound baby now, no wonder why he is out growing his newborn clothes.

I know there is some pumpkin hate on this board, but I had an apple with my lunch and spread a little of TJ's Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookie Butter on it. Omg. That stuff is awesome! Tastes so much like pumpkin pie. I had to use some restraint so I didn't eat half the jar!

Not a huge pumpkin fan, but I'm not as opposed to it as I have been in years past.  And that sounds really good! 

[bradysalon]

I love everything pumpkin. Tomorrow I will be go to TJs for this pumpkin cookie butter. I'm drooling.

Anybody else hanging out on their birthing ball tonight? Come on out baby!

[kc730]

I shouldn't have gone to work today. Every phone call I took started with "you haven't had that baby yet?!"
