Update: Had my membranes swept 24 hours ago..Had cramps and lower back pain the entire night but now it has settled. Lost a bit more of my mucus plug. Have another appointment on Tuesday and a Non Stress Test..Midwife plans on doing another sweep then. Anyone else gone overdue like this? 😢 How long after the sweep should I expect for anything to start?
I'll be 41 weeks tomorrow and I suppose I won't have a choice but to get induced if baby doesn't feel like coming 😢. There goes my birth centre birth plan.
I did inductions for my first two. 10 days late for the first and 9 days late for the second. Had no choice.
it went really well it took me forever to make up my mind the day of but it really kicked things into gear. it is kind of scary but really it just gets the inevitable process going. you'll do great no matter what :)
I just went back and read up on your birth story @hunterkw_ ...Inspiring
3! wow! how did induction go for you? I'm terrified of it.
I had 3 membrane sweeps and it didn't do anything for me. I was induced a week after my due date
That is very encouraging to hear! thanks @melissafrattinger
I had 2 membrane sweeps before contractions started an stayed. didn't take long after the 2nd one maybe an hour an I was in labour
Oh and I'm 1.5cm dilated and 25% effaced. Baby is super low..the midwife could almost touch his head!!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I was 9 days OD with my first, and then induced via cervadil. With my second I went into labour spontaneously after a stretch and sweep at 10 days OD. I remember how exhausted and anxious I was being that OD. I really feel for you.
