Pregnancy Info HOME

girls watch out I got that infected message again today but my norton snagged it so be very careful!

Hi! I guess I don't have that issue on my computer. I have a Mac and they are awesome about not getting viruses and stuff. I also don't have all the pop up ads or anything on here which is nice too. TINA, it's only like 8:30am there isn't it? It's 11:30 here...I'm counting the hours for you, lol. I'm wondering how Kolleen is doing? I'm same ol same ol. Dont' think acupuncture did much for me yesterday as I was hoping at least for some cramps or something (I'm going to curse myself later when it does actually happen!)....but nope. I'm for sure going down to the workout room right now since I have a break from work and am walking on the slowest setting while I finish a book I'm reading. It's blisteringly hot outside so this will be relaxing with the a/c and tv on. I'll check back in later!

I came back from the Doc.. He says i am 1.5 cm open and fully Effaced.. I told him about the "leakage" and when he checked me i started to leak again n some whitish things came out.. He said withen these days i can go to labor.. once i got there i started to have contractions n so much pressure.. he said those were good contractions and if they continue to call him. He wants to see me this friday.. thats in 2 days. And i lost 2 pounds. i was feeling very light-headed and then my heart started to beat very fast.. so lets see what happens i hope i can have my baby girl soon.

Right on Julia... I really think im going to have her on time or just a few days early. i guess we will see :)

So Kolleen is just now going in to get induced, just so you all know.

hey ladies- dr is in 3 hrs =] im excited beyond belief if anything happens i have tina & hillarys numbers ill text um n let them know the news (ive been feeling iffy today like werid i dont know what it is but its just a werid feeling) who knows tho. right. haha. well im off to work again so busy here trying to make up for the flood loss & damages we are still in our shop upstairs; we got our new desks in yesterday & they will be here tomorrow to set them up =] yah i cant wait

That would be hilarious if we all started going into labor in the next few days! JULIA, sounds like great progress!!! KENDRA, you too! HILLARY, thanks for the update on Kolleen...so they are just now getting her induction started? Poor girl if she hasn't been able to eat! It's been a while since she posted that she was going to the hospital. TINA, I figured they told her not to eat because I think that is what they do if there is a possibility of c-section? I think because a c-section is considered surgery you are supposed to have an empty stomach, but I'm probably wrong. Are you still hanging in there counting the hours? It's almost 2pm here (midwest)

Oh and woohoo, I walked on the treadmill for almost an hour (verrrrrrrry slowly) and did some squats!

stef- my dr said fast pase walking is better it helps the contractions get going more--which for me both fast & slow have helped if i walked fast my contractions were STRONGER but still didnt do anything for me. who knows (i have like 45 minutes till i leave work for my appt--im excited!!!)

Good luck TINA!!! Hope you have an easy one! STEF, I wish I could walk that long! But my pubic bone feels like it's been broken in half so I can't even stand very long without hurting. Ugh, and also when I stand my feet start sweeling up and itching??? But it doesn't do it when I'm moving around. I woke up this morning with some contractions, went and pooped, then had to poop again an hour later (it was very soft) TMI, BUT the conctracitons continued, and they hurt all over, not just on the bottom, I started feeling like I'm high on something, like running around the house and doing stuff. Then my dh got home for lunch and kept looking at me with this concerned look on his face, like -- you're in labor! I was in so much pain, so he left but kept asking if I'm ok, so I was like -- yeah, I'm fine, I'll call you if something happens. So of course he didn't go back to work because it really seemed like that was it, BUT MURPHY'S LAW IS A B!TCH, and everything stopped :(((((

Elena, I was going to say that totally sounds like labor to me! Damn, I must be far off because I'm having nothing like that at all. I almost hope for some soft stools or something going on. KENDRA, I tried to walk faster but my heartrate gets up too high. I don't think that is good for the baby. When I tried to walk over a snail's pace my heartrate shot up to 130 bpm and anything over 140 is bad for the baby. I'm totally out of shape because I didn't do any exercise at all this whole pregnancy. TINA, just wanted to see how you are feeling? I figure you are busy getting things ready before you go.

Hi gals - yes I am waiting with bated breath and counting down the hours! I am so tired I can't believe it I think I will take a nap since i have 4 hours before I have to leave and I didn't sleep very well last night......I heard from KOLLEEN - she got there they sent her home then she went back and as far as I know she is still there ....I was at my doctor for 2 hours for a pre-induction check up - i am at 3cm I can't believe it.....he said he will most likely just skip the cervadil and hook me right up to pitocin......JULIA - how exciting is that you just might go into labor first!! HILLARY - I had both of my boys 2 days before my due date it wasn't so bad.....well girls I believe I am ready for my nap!

Good luck Tina!!! :) Why would they send Kolleen home if she was scheduled for an induction?

Stef Kolleen told me that they bump her this morning so she went home and slept and then went back when they told her too.

Ok girls they broke KOLLEEN's water at about 130 our time (WEST COAST) she has gotten her epidural and the doctors say she may deliver as early as 7pm.....I will text whoever I have a phone number for to keep you all posted she is going to send me pictures too....I am gettnig antsy now I can't believe it's almost time 2 hours to go and I will be getting hooked up etc....I am so excited I won't be taking my laptop but I hope someone can post for me from the texts.....My doctor is planning to skip the cervadil step since I am already dilated to 3cm so I might have her in the middle of the night or early tomorrow morning like my other 2 one was born at 1020am and one was born at 839am my hair is done and I am going to go ahead and put my face on LOL I know it's silly but even day old make up is better than none..LOLOL hugs to you all and thank you all for always being there for me! I love you guys! Tina xoxox

TINA, can't wait to hear your story!!! 3 cm is great!!! STEF, I think this is happening because this is my second (well, fourth, but second full term) pregnancy, I've heard that this happens the second time around. With my first I didn't have ANYTHING like this happen, I had that first painful contraction and knew I was in labor, and I was right, had my daughter 13 hours later, but this time around I've been having really painful contractions, frequent stools, e.t.c. for about 2 weeks now off and on and NOTHING, I'm not even dilating that good. It just starts off really strong -- a lot of pain, back ache, discharge, frequent stools and then gets less and less intense and 2-3 hours later it's gone :(
