Still knocked-up Roll call

[robbins611]

OKay, so who is still here? I noticed a few moms have gone silent lately. I'm still here 40+5 and counting. Nothing new except low cramps that never stop. I'm going out for amish cinnamon rolls....maybe that's the ticket LOL

Much Love,

Mama to 4+angel+Belle due 9/25

I'm here, also 40+5. Off and on contractions, but nothing exciting. I thought Monday night things were starting, but they eventually fizzled out.

I am really in a baking mood today, which is a little unusual for me, as a WOHM, I don't bake often! It's all I can do to get dinner cooked! But my 4 year old and I have been busy just baking away all morning!

I feel pretty good today, a little tired, but not really wanting to lay down either. I had more discharge than normal this morning, but not mucus. Aside from the contractions, which aren't "real" yet, I have very little signs of impending labor.

I'm here on my edd. I guess today everyone is officially over 40 weeks. I am also feeling a little crampy, but nothing big or exciting. I guess I'll just keep doing what I have been doing and try to forget about it.

Still here too. edd 9/25... still dilated to 4-5 cm... I am becoming more at peace with this the longer I go.

Still here. 40+6.

Feeling alright, and hoping to get myself and the rest of the family over this awful cold. I'm trying to stay up on laundry and take in the garden (drying and processing herbs) as much as I can.

Still here, 41 weeks today. I'm going for my third acupuncture treatment in a couple hours to try to get things moving. DH and I have a new theory: everything important in our relationship has happened in October (met, started dating - two years later -, married) so maybe she's just waiting for October to come around. Our 5th anniversary is Friday, maybe she's waiting for that? I don't know, I'm grasping at straws now.

still pg, 40+1, but i'm thinking it's gonna happen here soon!! i've been having contrax every 10 minutes today. i saw my MW yesterday and since i'm GD, the OB i've seen about it wants to induce on monday. it really sucks being on a deadline like this (and when it comes down to it, i don't think anybody can make me do it without a real emergency, right?) but i think this kid is starting to get the picture, and i have such an incredible team here, so many people praying for us it's unbelievable.

maybe y'all will be hearing from us soon..

oh, and yesterday i was only 1cm, very high and posterior, baby at -2 station. i think it had a lot to do with this damn sciatic nerve and all this hip tension, so i went and got adjusted. my chiropractor (who's praying for me too ) said to call on friday for another adjustment to try to get things going, but in his opinion i'm not going to need to call.. we'll see!

[robbins611]

Wow, I'm shocked that we're it. I'm pulling out the stops to try and get this labor going. I've been cx every 13min for a while and I'm hoping that I can get them closer together. I'm so tired today though. I think I'll take a nap with castor oil rubbed on my belly LOL

Much Love,
Gini

I'm still pregnant! Looks like I will be getting an October baby, not a September one, unless soemthing truly miraculous happens between now (6pm) and midnight

I've been doing almost daily acupuncture, going to start cohosh dosing soon. My midwives won't let me do a homebirth past next tuesday (my dd was 9/21 and now I'm at 41w2d) so I am feeling the pressure to get it out before it's time to go to the hospital! Best of luck to everyone else.

I'm still here too... was due 9/25... I did lose my mucus plug last night after some ctx woke me up, but pretty much nada today. I had a little more blood tinged goo this evening... so maybe things will pick up tonight? I'm hoping...

I have another NST and BPP on Friday... which will be 41 weeks... I'm sure my mw will strip my membranes again if I make it. My Mom leaves for a 6 week work assignment across the country on Sunday, so, it would be nice if baby girl made her appearance before then... we shall see... I'm trying to stay positive.

I'm here! And Arrrrrggghhh!!!! I was able to get my EDD bumped back, but even with that I'm 41+5. 12 stinkin' days over. 2 more days and I lose my dream of having a homebirth. I'd been staying happy, hopeful, and positive, but I woke up this morning totally bummed. I really thought I'd be in labor by today.

I'm going in for another NST and ultrasound today to check on baby, but I'm not sure how to pick my spirits up and get my confidence back.
