Pregnancy Info HOME

I am so glad your mom is there to help you with Rachel. I am kindof thinking you should go. What's the worst that could happen- they would send you home, big deal. Maybe I want you to go for selfish reasons? Probably a little. Either way you have an appointment tomorrow and will know then what is up if you don't go tonight. I think that if you do go this evening that the nurses will be as surprised as your OB is that you have made it this far without active labor. I am starting to think that what is left of your cervix to dilate is made of steel! I'm sure your mom is amazed. Keep me in the loop.

one more of the june mommies is at the hospital - her water broke a little bit ago - I really AM going to be last!! I just got up and was going to take a walk but my mom, step-dad AND Rachel are all napping still. I really need to get her up - it's almost 4:30!!

hey we are both posting at the same time. :) I want to go tonight but I kind of feel silly - hi, I feel like I have to poop all the time and I am crampy on and off, will you look and see what I have going on?? :) Tim just sent me a text and told me to hang in there, maybe it will be tomorrow and I almost started to ball my eyes out cuz that seems like forever from now and it's getting depressing. sigh...I need some candy. :)

Come to my house. I'll share my swedish fish with you. :o} I wouldn't feel silly at all. I think that you should go and find out what is happening. Don't let Tim or anyone else discourage you from going if you want to. I can tell you that with my epidural I felt like I had to take a huge c___p with every contraction. My b___t hurt sooooo bad! No pressure at all, but, if it were me, I would definitely go. Women go all the time and are sent home. Women are also admitted with less progress than you have made.

Did you decide to go, or wait until tomorrow?

i decided to wait. we had dinner then went to my sisters - and I was just too tired to deal with it. I can wait one night I guess...ugh...but my appt is at 10:50 so I'll keep you posted!

I am anxious to hear if you have gotten any further. My appointment is at 10:50am as well, so I will be looking for your post when I get home, or you can call me on my cell. That is a bummer that your OB wasn't in the office today, but you only have to wait about another 13 hours to know what is happening with your progression. Try and get some sleep and I will talk to you in the morning.

How are you feeling this morning? I am leaving for my appointment in about an hour. I took some Tylenol PM last night to help me sleep and it did the trick. Jimmy's alarm went off at 3:45am and I didn't wake up at all. Maddy got up about an hour earlier than normal, but it was okay. BH have been killing me the las few days and are really regular all throughout the day and night- wonder what that is all about?? Sometimes it gets so tight that it stings all over my tummy. Anyway, let me know what your OB says, you can call my cell if you want to.

hey there - I'm almost 5cm. she says all she needs to do is break my water to get things moving. :) I'm scheduled to be induced tomorrow - but the hospital will call me in the morning to let me know when to come in. Guess they have been kind of busy lately and there is one person ahead of me that is more of an emergency. So...I told them I didn't want to be induced but I would go ahead if they could use as little drugs as possible so I can try to do this as natural as possible. She also stripped my membranes - but I didn't feel it at all. I wonder if she actually did, since she doesn't want me to go that fast so she can be there. :) You have to wonder sometimes! :)

That is great! I know you wanted to do it all on your own though. I had my appointment today too, and it turns out that I may have to wait for my induction. The hospital changed their policy regarding "convienience" inductions. Instead of scheduling it at my 36 week appointment I have to wait until my 38, and even then they usually only do it 3 days before your EDD. My OB thinks I may go into labor on my own before then. The BH have been fast and furious for the past few days and he offered to check me, but I declined. Oh, and he said he would only induce if I was atleast dilated to a 2. Oh, how the story changes as you get closer. I just don't want Jimmy and my mom to be in Seattle when the time comes. I would litterally be alone, unless Julie happened to be home. I'm just scared of the whole thing. I am so happy for you though. Let me know what time you are going in when you find out. You are going to be at Overlake, right?

overlake it is..I'm gonna try to take a nap now. Rachel went down really early - I think she's either sick or her new teeth are bothering her. She got up at 12:45 screaming and I had to give her tylenol and hold her and lay her in bed with us for a while. I'm wiped out...

Lets hope it is just her teeth coming in, and she isn't getting sick. Yes, get some rest, you have a BIG DAY tomorrow- the BIG DAY! I'm sure that if your OB told you she was stripping your membranes that she really did do it. Otherwise, she could just tell you that she didn't want to do it. Talk to you later.

ok - I'm starting to have doubts about tomorrow! I want so bad for this to happen on it's own and I want to give it just a bit more time. I think I'm crazy!!! Tim wants to make sure he comes out ok so he is all for tomorrow but he's a guy, he doesn't understand wanting the "experience". :) I'll have to think about it - I called the dr's office to see what happens if I change my mind and want to wait till at least monday. I feel like it's going to be sooon so I just want to wait sort of, even though I don't really. :)

You know, it is totally up to you. It's your body and if you really want to wait and let things happen on their own, then that is what you should do. You are right, it probably will be very, very soon. If it is worth it to you to wait, then wait.

hey - i talked to the nurse and I can wait if I want - I just have to tell them tomorrow. :) She said I have to come in for the non-stress test if I don't do it tomorrow - and that I will be induced next week either way and my doctor is gone all week so she won't be able to deliver. ugh! pressure!! :) I'm feeling better about it - she said that since I haven't had any bleeding after the sweep that it's a pretty big sign that I'm thinned out and ready to pop. So we'll see - we'll go walk around a whole bunch tonight and see if we can't get things rolling on their own. :) I know I'm crazy but I've always had these stupid ideas of my water breaking in the middle of the night and rushing off to the hospital. haha..anyways, I think I'm gonna go tomorrow but I will keep you posted!!

You have to be 100% confident in your decision, whatever you chose. Good luck!!
