How are we doing May mommies?

I am finally in the single digits- only 9 days till my due date! I went to the dr yesterday and the baby is definitely head down and I am 3cm dilated & 50% effaced. My feet are super swollen- they look like sausages Chat Icon I can only wear flip flops at this point. I have had a tough time getting comfortable and I am up almost ever hour during the night. I am happy that we have everything ready though, now its just a waiting game. Hopefully my Chat Icon doesnt hold out too long. Hope everyone else is doing well!

I am due in 3 days and I have absolutely no progress as of my 39 week appointment. Chat Icon

My OB said l'll be going late. Boooooo. Lol. I just worked my last day yesterday so now it's just a waiting game. I need to put together baby's crib, but otherwise we're pretty set on everything else.

Re: How are we doing May mommies?

I have no idea how I'm progressing bc I haven't had an internal (and I don't know if I get any). Cramps here and there but nothing crazy. Havent lost mucus plug as far as I know... I guess nothing is going on here LOL

i am still 2cm dilated -
i had contractions saturday night - every 4-5 minutes , they lasted about 20 seconds for 2 hours.
Doc said they have to be longer and more painful (they just felt like menstrual cramps)

Holding steady at 38 weeks. I was 3cm on Monday, but cervix was still hard. Looks like baby is head down.

My c-section is scheduled for 5/18.

I'm getting really uncomfortable and now I have a cold! GRRR!

Good luck to all the May mommies!!!!!

38 weeks tomorrow and 1cm dialiated. Cervix is still hard. I delivered my DD on my due date, but I was really hoping for this one to join us a little earlier. I am considering an induction on the 21st...will know better next Friday.

37 weeks as of yesterday. Due 5/31.

At my last appt I was 1cm dilated and my cervix is long but soft. I am scheduled for a RCS 1 week after my due date. I am hoping for a VBAC!

This weekend is going to be crazy b/c we need to get our home prepared. We certainly waited until the last minute!

I am still relatively comfortable so I think I have at least another week or two. I plan on working to the very end, but we'll see.

Good luck ladies!

I am now past due and STILL have no dilation.

Baby is head down and I'm at about -1 pelvic station and 30-40% effaced, but no dilation. It's pretty dang depressing to be honest.

Will find out on Monday exactly what day my c-section will be if I don't go on my own for my desired VBAC. Praying baby comes on her own before then.

Re: How are we doing May mommies?

1 week to go!!! I don't think much is going on. No cramps really. Haven't lost mucus plug. Still waddling around. Had some swelling this weekend for the first time this whole pregnancy and im attributing it to the heat wave! Actually was told by my doc on fri that I look too good to be close to giving birth so I think I still have a while to go Chat Icon

Waiting game over here!! Cramps on and off but obviously not the real deal..
I am so happy I am not the only one feeling like this..but the whole "BIRTH" really makes me nervous!! I am such a nervous nelly... And the fact that I have to leave my daughter really makes me sad.. I know we will look back at this experience and say it wasn't that bad, but it is hard to grasp right now.. Well, good luck to us!!!!!

Re: How are we doing May mommies?

Went to OB yesterday.. Still no change Chat Icon He tried to strip my membranes but I'm not dilated enough to do so.. I had a NST and it showed contractions but nothing steady.. He's on call on Tuesday so he told me to come in on Monday, I will be his first appt. and hopefully he will induce me on Tuesday. I just want to meet my baby already and find out if it's a Chat Icon or Chat Icon

question...i'm due on the 29th and going to the doctor today to see my progress. Why is the doc inducing you on tuesday? can you ask for an induction? just curious. I had my daughter at exactly 38 weeks, which is today for me, and i don't feel like anything is going on today...just curiuos if you can ask for an induction, and when they normally do it.

With my first i was induced at 41 weeks and baby was very big....
My doctor said they are not allowed to induce patients before 39 weeks without a real medical reason. I asked my doctor about inducing me this time around..and she doesn't seem to be opposed to it..i'm going in tomorrow and as long as i made a little progress, i may get induced on Thursday. I'lll be a little over 39 weeks by then..i just don't want another gigantic baby..it wasn't easy to push out!!!!
