Update
Today my blood pressure was 158/94 and 140/101 for the second reading so they called the hospital to tell them I'll be on my way for induction. Currently sitting at my house just freaking out but about to head to the hospital.
I'm so excited for you!! We were both due around the same time with boys. My little jack is still snuggled in, not wanting to come out, but the doctors told me if my bp went up he would be ready to come out now that we crossed 37 weeks . Good luck with delivery !!! It's all becoming very real
I was 4 cm, 70% effaced, -1 three hours ago and my next check is in a little bit. If there's no or little progress they are going to break my waters. Lots of painful contractions and blood so I'm hoping that means my cervix is thinning and dilating. No pain meds- yet. I've thought an awful lot about an epidural but I'm going to try to push through without it.
I'm having contractions on my own that seem to be getting stronger so maybeeee I can get them to skip pitocin. At least I can hope lol.
Thanks ladies! I feel much better now that bulb is out and they just fed me. Nasty hospital food but I was starving! Enjoying this calm before the storm of labor.
The foley bulb or the cytotech one is really painful. And I'm bleeding everywhere. Induction is NOT pleasant, I would never choose this route.
Thanks ladies! I will keep everyone updated. This Foley bulb is soooo uncomfortable but I'm trying to keep in mind it will be worth it in the end.
Rachel, thank you for the kind words! And I really like the name Jack :)
I'm not sure if any other June mamas will agree with me but:
Shaina you're like family. I've followed you and baby Caellums posts since first joining June moms. (NOT a stalker lol).I'm so happy you'll have him soon. No stress- and know other ladies around the world have you in their thoughts and prayers!
Also to keep you distracted from stress- my little guy is due the 8th (7 days) via c section. I'm stressed about sharing attention with my almost 2 year old. Also stressed hubby and I haven't narrowed down a name! Nathan or Jack....? Or something else...??
Good Luck! You are doing what you need to do for both you and your baby boy. I know it isn't the way you envisioned it happening, but you are in good hands. Kids have a funny way of mucking up all our plans. Wish I could say this would be the last time he will throw you a curve ball - But this is just the first of many!
Your in good hands .. Think of the positive you will soon be meeting your precious baby boy, they caught this before it could cause harm and you have a good support team to help you through this.
I'm sorry this isn't how you expected things to go and I will definitely be praying for you and that precious baby!
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...
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.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Update!! Thinking about ya hoping you're good
