It's getting close!

How is everyone feeling?  Only 9 more weeks for me I'm getting a little anxious and uncomfortable. But can't wait to meet my baby girl. Still haven't picked out a name yet. Is there anyone else out there like me?

[seattlemom2plus]

I know what you mean, it's such a relief to get hime from the hospital and start your new routine.

Thanks girls. We're finally home now. Feels so good to have her home.

Congratulations on your baby girl mzrichee!  Enjoy your baby moon!

[mzrichee]

Congratulations! I'm glad she's finally here. Aren't they just so precious? :)

[mzrichee]

Hi ladies. Just an update. It's a girl. Baby Victoria arrived this morning! Mommy and baby are doing great. We're just trying to get as much rest as we can now. I'm so happy she's finally arrived. Good luck ladies, for all of you who are still waiting. You'll do great! :)

[hopefulmom17]

Just hang in there girls. I know how hard those last few days are. Its like you get so desperate you don't know what to do anymore. I do suggest lots of sex and make sure with that you have the big "O" so it works right.  Lol.

Congrats hopefulmom17, that is great news.  All these babies being born makes me want mine now, but like petite said the baby will come when it's ready, just wish it were now.  13 days...

[PetiteWonder]

Congratulations!!! i am so jealous!! I want to have this baby now but I know she wont come until she is ready because I have already tried everything ever since I had my stunt with the early labor a week and a half ago.

[hopefulmom17]

Well baby Arielle has arrived weighing in at 8lbs 6ozs and 21 inches long. Birth story to follow.

[seattlemom2plus]

omg congratulations, keep us posted!!

[hopefulmom17]

FINALLY in labor!! My water broke this morning so now its only a matter of hours. Can't wait!

[seattlemom2plus]

I was due October 16th, but started labor October 3rd, he was ready to come out and came out naturally.

[hopefulmom17]

Congrats seattlemom. When were you due?  

[seattlemom2plus]

Hi ladies!!  Gave birth this morning at 1:14AM to a little boy.  Was a posterior birth so back labor, but we did it!

[hopefulmom17]

When I went to the dr on Thursday I was also 3 cm and 90% efaced. But still no contractions. Every once in a while I will have some mild pain but nothing! I'm ready to get this started.

[PetiteWonder]

Oh the frustration.. When I went to the hospital on Tuesday night with the contractions that were 3-5 mins apart and they told me I was only 1 cm 75% effaced, I was like well this could be a while.. I asked the nurse if I would still be pregnant in 5 days and she said no way... I believe her a bit.. figuring it was my first, I was having regular contractions so it could be true..

Go back wednesday night - 3 cm 90% effaced... man im making progress maybe it will be happening soon......  

Unfortunately when I went abck on thursday after continuing to have regular contractions that had gotten extremely painful, I was 3Cm still but more effaced.... then the contractions pretty much stopped..

since 9 30am, I have been having contractions again, fairly regular probably every 5 mins ( i decided not to time them again until they get more painful)... some pain and cramping.. lots of pressure but not really surprising since baby is at station 0...

but still no active labor yet..... tomorrow is day 5 so I guess that nurse is probably going to be wrong.

[hopefulmom17]

Well October is finally here. I have 5 more days until my due date and I'm starting to get anxious I want this little girl to come out. I'm like a kid at Christmas and can't wait. I think because it has been such a long road that I can't believe its almost time. After 5 years of ttc and many disappointments it finally happened. So knowing we are this close is a little nerve racking and exciting. Can't wait to meet my Arielle hopefully it happens soon.

[seattlemom2plus]

I love reading your posts ladies, haven't been on for a bit just have been getting everything together.  I swear everything that can break down has in this past month.  And at the same time every opportunity that can happen has too.  It has been quite the month.  I feel like I could give birth literally at any moment.  We just turned 37 weeks on Sunday and I just came home from the grocery store after walking around the store with some strong contractions, lol

I can't wait to hold our baby that's for sure.  Definitely keep us updated :)

[degriffdog]

I still have 25 days which feels like a eternity... However getting last items ready for baby and we are very excited to have this baby and start lovin on him/her.

[hopefulmom17]

With my first I was very anxious about waiting to long before going in. But I do believe it is true you will know. Your contractions will start to develop a patter and will not stop for nothing they will just get more intense with time. I can't wait only 10 more days until my due date but I really think that its going to happen sometime this next weekend:)

[PetiteWonder]

I started having contractions pretty close together last night.. that were quite cramping and would start in my lower back/butt then move up and around... I was starting to think it might be turning into real labor but then I went pee and all went away ...  just very intense false labor..

Im so paranoid about not knowing im in labor and showing up too late at the hospital.. i know people say you will know but there have been people on here who didn think they were in labor and hten when they finally go in, they are 5-6c mdialted

[mzrichee]

i wish i can say i'm doing fantastic leading up to october. with only a couple more weeks to go, i'm still trying to get over a cold. i know, it's awful! doesn't make things any easier. for the most part everything is pretty much in place except for that hospital bag. yes, slacking a bit here. must pack that soon.

[hopefulmom17]

Couple more weeks left! I'm 2 cm and 80% effaced.
