I know I am not due until the 23 but I am ready now. Had a doc appt today and he wont check to see if I am dilated until I am atleast 38-39 weeks. I will be 37 weeks on thurs..after that day he can come whenever. If I do go late, the doc talked about inducing me on the 29th, that is cutting it close to the end of the month and for some reason I dont want an October baby....don't ask why, I just don't.
my guess has been that id give birth sept 5 (4 days late). my doc actually has my due date as aug 28th, but i go by sept 1st because thats what shes always measured. i did acupuncture last thurs and friday which made me very crampy afterwards but went away the next day. they called me yesterday to see if i went into labor and gave me a free session today. they did something a little different- needles with a slight electrical charge. she said last time she did it the lady was in the hospital 2 hours later! it was a tad bit uncomfortable and i felt like my stomach was hard for most of the time.
i feel fine now (meaning nothing), going for a walk later with my hubby. i guess what it comes down to is she'll come when she wants to. if i was to be induced (dont want to!) it would be on sept 10th. i know how common it is to be given pitocin, but i really am not comfortable with the stress it puts on the baby, plus i dont want to get an epideral until im 5 cm.
i really have no idea if im dilated or not, my one and only time i was checked was 4 weeks ago and nothing. ive been losing small bits of my plug for 3 weeks so i hope that means something is happening.
Well as of my appt today i hadn't made ANY progress. I know that being as this is my 6th full term it could happen in a very short amount of time but it's still depressing to hear that my cervix is still high and closed :(
losingmymindinga & jschoch8
truthfully i think you 2 are going to go very close to each other...my guess is within a day or 2
i know you dont want to hear it jschoch8 but i think you will be late...i had my first 5 days late so dont worry...i know it ***** watching your due come and go and wondering when you will go but it will be soon after
these are just my guesses and i hope im completely wrong and the both you of you go on friday...hehe (my birthday!!!)
Well I suppose I wouldn't be TOO jealous if you went first since you're due first, but in my defense this is baby #6 darn it so I should go any day now LOL
We will all have our babies soon. I'm scheduled for a csection sept 7 at 8am. I hope I go earlier.
sorry i hope im first it seems ive been skipped a few times already :):) jk, we'll both have our babes soon!
Darn it after Brittny27 I better be the next one moved to the "babies already here" column!!!!
Awesome, I was just wondering about everyone and hows things were going.
Thanks for the update!
this is great to keep track of all the sept babies here and on the way....thanks for taking the time to do this :)
