today may be the day

[Tiffany_PartyOf5]

I think today just may be the day... I'm still only online on my cell so can't type much easily. My cousin who is moving to Hawaii next Sunday came over last night to see the place, see the kids, hang out... My mom drove up after work from Orlando to pick up Raymond & Ari since Raymond has soccer in Orlando.. There are 3 games left and she wants him to go to them all so he can get his trophy and his team is currently undefeated LOL. Sooo, she left Alex because Alex is a bit more to handle and would be CRAZY at soccer haha. The big 2 won't be back until Monday around lunch. All that said, I wake up at 4 AM cramping a tiny bit... having issues going #2 and when I wipe I get a little bloody mucus. I just feel different today and I think today may very well be the day. btw, today is 39w2d

well now I'm all confused lol... I'm having semi-painful contractions off and on and have been since 4. they stop and start on their own... everytime I go pee, which is about every 15-20 min. or so lol, I have blood tinged toilet paper and the urine is orangeish reddish like a sunrise color and I don't know if its from my urethra or vagina? so I have no clue what's going on... what could cause bloody urine anyways lol my mom just picked up alex a few min ago so I'm hoping that with being able to relax better will get things really moving... I tried checking my cervix but have no idea what anything in there is lol and probably won't have a clue until my water breaks and I feel hair haha

Labor vibes to you!

[MamaFern]

thinking of you today mama!

[flapjack]

uric acid (dehydration) can cause brick-red urine, so I'd try drinking more water- never a bad thing in labour anyhow...

Good luck! Can't wait to hear the good news!

glad I'm not the only one who feels confused about things today! I tried checking myself too, but all I can tell is that there's lots of blood-tinged mucous in there. I have no idea how midwives do it w/gloves on! Hope things pick up for you or at least that you get some rest! I am 42+1 and we're having a day w/o our other children too. Just went for a walk, now am headed for the bed again.

If it helps, with my oldest I spent the entire first day of my labor thinking that I had a UTI. I thought my urine was bloody and called my midwife, she called in a prescription and everything. Luckily I couldn't get it until the next morning (the pharm had a mix up) and before I took it I called my midwife and after telling her my new "symptoms" she had to inform me that it wasn't a UTI, I was in labor

Up to the second day when I lost my plug, I was cramping when I went to pee and it seemed as though the peeing was causing the pain. In retrospect I think the pain was causing me to feel the need to pee. Anyway : !

Okay, for some reason my phone wouldnt let me update last night but Im picking the kids up today in Orlando so I figured Id check in from my moms.... no baby, and the UTI seems to be gone.. I bought the prescription and didnt get to use it lol.. yay! Seriously though, Im mad I spent $35 on the damn drugs and didnt need them.. not to mention they werent even safe (that doc got an earful this morning) I picked up the prescription and the pamphlet that came with it said do not take at term pregnancy (38-42 weeks) and do not take while breastfeeding.. uhhhhh DUMB@SS!!! Im 39.2 weeks pregnant yesterday and I could pop at any time... Im breastfeeding a 20 month old and Im going to breastfeed a newborn anyday now AND Im OBVIOUSLY at term! HELLO. LOL.. Anyways, I feel fine today, Im not peeing frequently, Im not contracting, no pain... nothing! Its really weird lol.. I hope I go into labor today or tomorrow lol.. but I doubt it lol.. Hopefully soon! Ill try to keep you guys updated and I pray we get our computer up to Jax in the next week.

Glad to hear you are feeling better! Stupid doctor, shame on him for not being more carful and actually using his smart doctor brain!!

Dude, the doctor should have done better with that one!

But as for the money part, the pharmacist that sold them to you should have caught the mistake! I would go back to the store and raise a stink (although who wants to trek out to the store AGAIN, full term, with kids?) Sorry they screwed that one up, but glad you didn't have to take the drugs!

[Tiffany_PartyOf5]

Yeah I was completely dreading taking antibiotics at this point because Im deathly afraid of thrush lol.. Ive not had to deal with thrush before and really dont want to lol.. I have a mommy friend who has been through HELL with thrush...

Anyways, update again: We were able to fit the computer in the car today coming home from Orlando and amazingly we are picking up someone elses wireless connection soooo I HAVE INTERNET!!! YIPPPEEE... Im so excited.. now I hope this doesn't take away from me getting stuff done around the house lol

On a sad note: today was the day that had been set in stone in my head.. Jan 20 is the date that kept popping into my head that I would have this baby on lol.. and well its 10:27 and Im not in labor lol.. so that really sucked! lol... oh well.
