Sound off! 3/20-26

[isolemnlyswear]

Feel free to let us all know if you are due, have a scheduled induction or c-section coming up this week.

Everyone else please leave all of the well wishes and speedy labor thoughts you'd like for these ladies.

***once your baby comes and you have a moment, make it on over to the birth announcement thread***

Looks like I go here. Due 3/26. No signs of labor or whatnot. I have a growth scan and cc on Thursday, so I'm looking forward to seeing my baby again.

Due 3/24. I see my ob that day too assuming baby hasn't arrived. I plan to get another stretch and sweep and all about an induction within a few days of her size. Probably not the best reason to be induced maybe, but I'm concerned about ending up with an emergency c-section if we wait till 41+ weeks.

After 39 weeks, who cares? Do it, if that's what you want/need. The doc I will be seeing that same day is also the delivering doc the next day. I'm hoping that my growth scan will be "concerning" enough that maaaaaaaaaybe they might induce me the next day. Every pregnancy I've had docs worried about how big my babies are. DD2 was just shy of 9lbs at 39 weeks. (Not a gigantor baby, but enough to make the docs nervous about me going overdue.)

But not betting on it, given the current (overcrowded) circumstances at my hospital. But hey! A girl can dream, right?

Due 3/25. No signs of labor or anything. Feels like I'll be pregnant forever. I see my OB on the 25th and we'll do a stress test. Assuming nothing happens by then/everything looks good, she'll schedule my induction for either April 1st or April 4th (41 weeks). I'm really hoping baby girl comes on her own before then.

That's my theory. Plus my doctor is the one on call starting the day after my due date so it would a good time to deliver.

Due 3/26 as well. Nothing is really happeneing, except for lots of BH. Baby girl dropped significantly on Friday but I still have my plug and don't have any discharge, besides the usual. I have an OB appointment on Wednesday and we will do a sweep and stretch if nothing is going on by then. I'll also be talking about scheduling a c-sec. I refuse to be induced and due to being AMA the stillbirth risk is higher for us if I go past my due date, we will do a section next week if I haven't delivered yet.

Due Friday 3/25. I was up half the night with contractions that went away. I'm frustrated and uncomfortable. I have an appointment tomorrow morning, and my understanding is my OB is out of town next week so I plan to ask for an induction date just to be safe.

I am in full whiny stage over here. I'm still working, and I just want her here.
