Hello again ladies. Back from the Dr's....Got the old membrane strip, I won't lie..it hurt. He just told me to tell him when I couldn't take it anymore, and he'd stop. OUCH. I'm just crampy right now...got a back ache, like you know the kind you get before your period? That kind. If this doesn't work, I'm scheduled to be induced next Saturday July 26th!! So, Alicia, I'll be right behind you!! I can't believe its almost over!! Well, guess I better go walk...I'll keep ya all posted!

Morning guys. Still no change in my cervix. Fingertip, high and soft. Probably won't post too much today. Kinda feeling blah....How far along are you preggo? Katie, are you having a c-section because she is breech? Danielle, I hope your little footsies feel better. I can 't imagine how painful and irritating that must be! Patti, congrats on the anniversary. When is your next appt? Hope everyone is doing fabulously.

 

KITKAT01 - July 18

Yea i am geting a c-section cuz she is breech and has one leg up one leg down he dosent want to try to turn her the earliest the hospital can take me is the 4th so i will be goin in the 4th at 7:30 am fun fun..wow no one is around on this page anymore where is everyone?

 

cnasmom - July 18

hey katie, i think alicia didn't work today and erin said she was feeling blah. me too. my back is hurting soooo badly today. i took all three carseats i have, one for each kid, lol, and took them apart and cleaned them and vacuumed out my car, cleaned my house, put all the carseats back together which was a pain, and put them in my car, 3 carseats in the backseat! i made supper for me and husband and my brother and his friend, and i am pooped. i cleaned up and had to half bend over to wash dishes cuz my back hurt so badly. i am seriously thinking about getting out my b___stpump and using it to try and stimulate some contractions that are worth something cuz i have them all the time, but obviously they aren't dong anything. dang it. so you'll get to see ur little chloe on the 4th? thats awesome! i wonder if preggo went into labor???

 

KITKAT01 - July 18

Danielle i think that all the work you are doing my bring on labor u make me tired just reading what you did today.. do you have pretty much everything you need now for your chloe?

 

softbreeze200 - July 18

Hi ladies! Sorry for the late post. Hope everyone had a good day! Kitkat - that is so great that you are booked in and know when you will get to meet Chloe!! ANd Danielle - slow down girl... you make me tired reading your daily stuff!! lol!! This morning I went in to the dr because I had discharge that was kinda bloody and she wanted to check me. SO in I go and she said I am more than likely losing my plug, and she figures I will go in the next five days. She did an exam, and I am still 2cm dialated, but she figures I wont dilate anymore on my own, I had laproscopic (laser) surgery to my cervix about five years ago due to abnormal cells, and as a result of that, my inner cervix has some scar tissue on it. She said it will not hinder my labour in any way or my delivery, it just means that once I go into active labour and got o the hospital, they need to be aware of it or else they will send me home thining I am not in labour and I will have my baby at home!! So, in short, once I go into labour and get to the hospital, she said I will need a doctor to basically push with their finger on the cervix and it will open up past this scar tissue and then I will really dilate. She wrote it all on my admission papers and notified them that I will more than likely need an epidural immeadiatly upon being admitted becasue of it. So there goes any natural for me, but I was kind of planning on a epi anyway, so whatever. She said baby has her head right down there and is ready to come, so she figures I will be in the next few days if all keeps up this way. I am not holding my breath though. It is entirely up to baby girl! I am still kinda crampy, but nothing major, and the bloodyness now I think is a result of the internal more than anything else now, so we will just keep on waiting! I would love her to come anytime she is ready. So that is the latest with us here. All is good!

Gabbi - you better get on here and give us an update!! I am starting to wonder if you have had little miss Casey already!!! Hoep all is good and you and Mike are not working tooo hard on your house! Talk to you all tomarrow!!

 

preggosauce - July 18

Hi all! Just thought I'd update. So far it doesn't appear that the memrbane strip worked *sigh*. I was really counting on it. I haven't had many contractions, and cramps have subsided. I even walked 2.5 miles yesterday! I have one week to try to get labor going on its own, or I'll be induced. I REALLY don't want to be induced. Danielle- You'll have to let me know if the b___st pump creates any labor symptoms for you!

 

cnasmom - July 18

ok, so i pulled mine out and well i was missing parts! dang it. so i took my b___t to walmart and bought a gerber one, not looking at the package good enough, cuz its a manual and well it doesn't do nothing!!!! and i can't take it back cuz its opened. i should have gotten the other one cuz it was just like the one i had. dummy! i don't want to go spend more money tho. *sigh*

 

cnasmom - July 21

good morning hot mommies! I am getting ready to go to my doc appointment. woohoo. i wonder if prego has had her little one yet? alicia, just 5 days!!! i went ahead and bought another b___stpump and it didn't do nothing for me dang it, lol. i've had TONS of pressure and pain in my pelvic and v____al area, it actually felt like she was coming out last night once when i went to the bathroom cuz it was hurting and lots of pressure. so maybe ill have progressed. i will talk to you girls later!!!

 

mommaminchey - July 21

hello pregnant mommies.... I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was fine. I am getting super tired and so glad that last Thursday was my last day. Idk how I could get up this morning and actually make it to work on time. I am so sore all over my body and I just want to cry sometimes... but I guess it will be over soon enough. I kind of wish I didn't know what day he would come like you guys because know that I know I can sit here and think about the c section and just freak myself out. But if i didn't know then I would be more concerned with when then who he would becoming. So i guess it's a catch 22. Oh well. i have nothing to do today besides some small laundry and watch some tv. so i will be on in a few to talk. Danielle, good luck at the doctors today.
