Oh gosh Amy, you're so close!!! It seems like just yesterday when you got your BFP! Can't wait to see pics of your little girl and hear how the labor went :p
Hi Preggers!!! How's everyone doing? So many people are close to having their babies! Ashlynn and I are doing great. She is almost 8 weeks old & close to 11 pounds. Oh how they grow so fast. I start back to work part time tomorrow...
Wow, its been awhile since I've been on here! My baby shower is tomorrow and I'm super excited! Five weeks left, I can't believe its almost over and little Kirk will soon be here. My OB doesn't check for dilation, but I'm pretty sure I'm starting to dilate. I've been getting stabbing pains in my hoo hoo, that are so bad that I've thrown what I was holding a couple of times lol. Hope everyone is doing great!
Amy-just read your post on the old message board. I am really suprised too that they didn't check me, but my office doesn't check until I'm actually in labor, or until I'm overdue and they start talking about inductions. I was taken off work though, thank goodness I'm not on bedrest at least.
Wow ... somehow I've missed the newest belly buddy list! I've been so busy with work, the kids and trying to get something accomplished before the baby gets here (failing miserably on the last one) I guess I just overlooked it.
I'm so excited to be so close to the top of the list now, I didn't think I'd ever get there. I'm 34 weeks, 5 days today. Still on progesterone for contractions, and still having them fairly regularly. There are less of them then before, but when I have them they are stronger. As of 33 weeks though there is still no change in the cervix. Now that it's so close to the end I don't worry so much and find myself pushing on through contractions rather then sitting down. I just can't wait for 37 weeks when I can ignore them altogether and do what I want to finish getting ready for the baby! Of course my biggest fear is that I won't know it's real labor, I mean the contractions feel pretty real now! I guess I'll know though when it's time ... and hopefully in time!!!
Good luck to those anxiously watching for any signs of labor to start ... can't wait to hit that stage myself, just a couple more weeks...
Well my little girl hung in there so I could make it to class on Sat, I'm hoping it'll be soon now though. If it's not I'll go insane for sure! I'm toying with the idea of being induced on either Sun 3rd at 9pm, Tues 5th at 9Pm, or Sun 10th at 9pm. My midwife said they just use a pill and don't hook you up to the drip of stuff so that's making it much more appealing! I want out little one to come out on her own but I'm not sure how much longer I can take this physically, mentally and emotionally. It's been over a week since my body has started the strong labor signs.
Steph - 8 weeks already? Wow that went fast! How is your adjustment back to work? I remember with my first he was so colicy that I was so excited to be back just so I didn't have to listen to screaming all day/night. But it was hard. I think the hardest part was at 4 months when the babies get an idea of time and our son knew I was gone for so long during the day, he would wake me up at night just to look at me.
Theresa - Some dr's will check you at 35 weeks just to see how things progress. But honestly it really doesn't do too much because it won't help you figure out when the baby will get here. My midwife basically gave me the option if I wanted to be checked.
Pips - you'll be there before you know it! Although I know how you feel with having contractions that do nothing :(
