COME ON BABIES!!!

Someone had mentioned the Mars thing...is it a tad odd that NONE of us are going? Are all of us late October mamas going to have November babies?

COME ON BABIES!!!

[Godiva]

OK, I'm done! I will not sit here and complain any longer. I must do something productive now. I'm going to go redirect all my waiting to cleaning the house and baking the cranberry bread and cookies I planned on a long time ago. (i.e I'm forcing the nesting here, I already went though that a long time ago and have since not been able to clean a dang thing, so now I have to force myself to re-nest) Then we have to go buy some candy for all the trick or treators! I love seeing all the little kids dressed up! I love holidays! With this baby not comming til November our whole fall and winter is going to be packed with holiday after holiday. Halloween, baby bday (sometime before thanksgiving please!)my mom's bday, thanksgiving, my bday, christmas, new years, Ukrainian christmas, hubby bday, Ukrainian new year, valentines day, our anniversary, my dad's bday, my sister's bday. Phew, thats a lot of celebrating all before march! and of course we have to celebrate each of these holidays twice because my family celebrates very early in the day and my husband's family doesnt celebrate til later in the evening, so we always end up with 2 celebrations a day for each holiday. (well except for the Ukie holidays, my family isn't Ukie) wow, thinking about all that plus the fact that we will have a new baby to take care of just wore me out! I think I'll go take a nap now... wait no I'll stick to my word and actually go do something now.

funny, bailey 228-your green light is still on...
Admit it, you are as helpless against MDC's power as the rest of us. Ok, maybe just me, I feel like I'm on this d*** forum all the time! I also am having to force myself to re-nest. It sucks, because I already did all the cleaning etc, now I just have to do the upkeep-the part I hate!! At least my house is clean. For now.



COME ON BABIES-you know, I thought about naming him Mars, but I'm not so sure the red planet deserves my reverance right now...

[Mama to 4]

I've had 5 contractions today that felt more like the crampy kind.........but I too have resigned that i will never give birth, it has all been a cruel joke, the baby hates me, is stuck, etc..........

HALLOWEEN BABY COMEOUT!!!!

I am not going on a walk and i am not having sex--- why? Because it doesnt WORK!!!! And I have SOOOOOOOOO many issues in the crotchal region right now, I just dont want to do either one! SO there!!!!




I am right there with all of you, fed up and sad and wanting my baby!!!! GOOD LUCK!

[mamas2atti]

Me too! Fed up! Tired of being pregnant, having sex, cleaning my house, taking cohoshes, answering the phone!

I want my baby NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol actually I DO have bread in the oven! My computer is always on so I usually just walk away from it with the forum still on my browser. see i'm getting something done though, I did one of the things I was gonna do. Now off to the store for the candy. (lol do a task, come back and check the forum, go do another.. lol yup I'm addicted!)

[melissa_honeybee]

LOL, I'm the same way... I can't stay away (from this thread esp) we are going to take DS trick or treating tonight maybe something will happen!

One of us has to go into labor tonight!!! COME ON BABIES!!

I've been feeling crampy today...went to an awesome French/Thai restaurant for some hot curry...but then my cramps stopped...sigh/

and Bailey my b-day is 5 days before Christmas, I agree that it kind of stinks..Halloween would be a much better b-day.

I'm scheduled for an induction tomorrow..not very happy about it though. I'm mad at myself for being a wimp...ugh. I'm happy about being able to have the baby..but wish he would have come on his own. Mixed feelings all around.

GTG- my son is ready to go trick or treating

[momma2finn]

I kwym. Had a NST and US today. Boy was he moving around alot...They couldn't get more than a min at a time!! The US was cool, but I wish I could just see him in real life.
Good Luck with the induction, I hope he decides to come before they give you a pitocin drip. Mine is still on for Thurs morning, I think I will go... I'm pretty nervous though.
I'm so jealous of all the mommas who got to dress their newborns up today...I had the cutest onsie all ready-my step-mom got it for him. It says Mommy's Little Pumpkin

Well I'm going to leave it at that for the evening...I'm sick of whining!

BTW-We have a thread started in the Nov ddc!

At my ultrasound today they noticed that my amniotic fluid levels had gone down quite a bit from what they were at my ultrasound 3 days ago. While they were still in the "normal" range, that coupled with the fact that I am 41wk4days had my midwife really pressuring me to have an on the spot induction.

This came on the heels of an 8/8 score on the biophysical ultrasound score, and a hour on the NST which she said indicated a very healthy, very happy baby, so I refused to be induced.

I dithered back and forth making up my mind for awhile, but the fact that the baby wasn't in any distress led me to refuse the induction.

It's hard when they are standing there telling you things like
"fetal morbidity rates increase x% the further past 41wks you go" and
"this NST just tells us the baby is OK now, it has no predictive value" and "there's no reason this baby couldn't be delivered and be healthy right now" and
"well you're the parents, if you are prepared to take this risk it's your choice".
I felt really pressured to have the induction. I told my DH as we were leaving the hospital that if anything happens to the baby overnight I'll want to kill myself. (extreme, but probably accurate)

I honestly do believe that she was just trying to cover her ass, and that there is nothing wrong with my baby and that going another day is not going to hurt anything.

I've got a midwife appt at 9:00am tomorrow morning with the other midwife (they work in pairs) and I'm going to ask for another ultrasound to see what the fluid levels are. If they are further decreased or still low then I will probably agree to be induced. I like this midwife a lot better and she will be on call starting Wednesday so if everything is ok then maybe I will be induced wednesday.

My cervix is now dialated 1cm but still firm and high. Progress, but not a lot.

Tonight we'll go for a walk, then I'll get some of that natural prostaglandin either orally or otherwise and hope to be waken up in the middle of the night by some contractions!

Wow akemi, I hope everything works out for you. Induction is scary...I have mine so soon! Just go with what feels right. Baby knows when to come out!

[maschultz]

Still waiting...

I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one overdue. My due date is Oct. 29th but I feel like he should have been born weeks ago. I guess I am not so patient. If only I didn't feel so crappy. My first was born a week early so I'm not used to waiting and I am so excited to have this baby just be here...

Great to hear I'm among others...
