Had the membrane sweep today. Didn't hurt to bad. Had some old blood about 3 hours later light…

Good for you... I was checked today and my cervix is so hard.. Might need a c section if he sees no improvement Monday.:(

Give it sometime u might see change @squishy3

I hope so.. Either way he has to come out sometime:)

@squishy3, yep he does I just seen u still have a ways to go my dr says ur not considered full term like over until the 7th day of the 41st week and after reading all the brain studies I refuse to be induced before the 42 week and even then I plan to stay preg during the 42 week they said they will check babys fluid and if he still has lots around him there is no medical reason to force him out only when fluid is low

So your further then me? My dr said its ok to have it now and honestly I'm just so uncomfortable but he prefers me going into labor naturally on my own. I'll probably go till my due date sept 4.

@squishy3, yes I'm further. Yes anytime after 37 weeks is considered safe they say but really the longer the better. Induction is so bad in my opinion. Lookup up how much the baby's brain develops from 34-41 it's crazy it's like double the size. For comfort Try stretching each morning and keep moving during the day if I sit for more than 1hr I hurt to get up so I always go and go been mopping cleaning shopping stay on my feet constantly then when they get so swollen I lay flat on my back in floor with feet above my heart way high in the air and ice packs on each foot for about 15 min they instantly go down then I get back up for another 3-4 hours. Also I'm noticing when I give in and eat something like hot rolls or cakes I really feel like crap after so I'm trying to stick to my salads, fruits, greens, and tea until he arrives. Have u had the urge to push or poop I have and I hate it I think it's bc the food I had eaten so maybe some of these tips can help u. My first due date was August 31 then sept 2. I have my setting set to the 31 I believe but my dr considers me due the 2nd which is 7 days away.

That's good advice and I will look into the babys brain development.. I guess we're all uncomfortable and its best to hang in there a little longer to have a happier, healthier baby. Have you thought about the baby having to skip a year of school also because they will be born in September.. We can't do anything about that but it think sept babies have to go to school late..:(

@squishy3, funny u say that we starting trying for baby on sept 27 to be exact so it would have an late July early August birthday bc we wanted it to be youngest in its class but we didn't get preg first cycle so as soon as they gave us a sept due date I was like crap all this planning for nothing. My step mom and sis both teach 2nd grade and they hate kids with August sept bday they say 95% r behind and they hated my idea but said its best to start them young if I still want just so I can go back to work then send them to kindergarten twice regardless of if they need to go to K again. I hope to stay home till he goes to school so the difference in one year is thousands of dollars.
