Went walking and things picked up. Waiting to be checked I hope to goodness that I'm dilated a little more at least. Getting an epidural soon 🙂

Epidural is in. 5/6 cm dilated. Kudos to everyone else (I think pretty much everyone on this board) who goes unmedicated! Hopefully you all don't mind my live labor updates, we haven't really told many people baby is coming soon so it's nice to have people to chit chat about it with.

I got up to a 16 with pitocin but things for me just seem to progress very slowly with both kids.

Got to rest for almost two hours. My ob just broke my water but I'm still at a 5. Whomp whomp. Also baby's hand was trying to come out first. If that happens it's straight to a c section. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen!

Still at a 5 😞. Almost at 24 hours since things got started. I'm getting kind of discouraged but the hospital we're at is really good at letting baby come on it's own time and c section rates are the lowest in our city.

brenna don't get discouraged! Try to close your eyes and focus on your breathing and on relaxing your body. I'll be sending you good dilation vibes tonight.

Ugh I’m so uncomfortable. But it doesn’t hurt, my legs feel swollen but they aren’t. I’m like at a point each night that I want to scream because my body is idk tired? I feel fine again in the mornings but the evenings are getting hard.

It's been so long since I posted, but hopefully you ladies are okay if I jump back in here. Life has been crazy, and this pregnancy has been my worst yet, for morning sickness and just a general lack of energy. But I'm about 2 weeks away from my due date and done work, so hopefully I can be more active. Good luck brenna. Hope baby comes soon for you!

Checking in from newborn land and I am in heaven. This baby sleeps and eats really well. His cord fell off today and it smelt so bad yesterday we rushed him to the pediatrician only for her to tell me it’s normal. (Google sent me into a spiral.) He also was jaundiced right upon release from the hospital so we were dealing with that the first few days and it’s since improved greatly. He was looking like an Oompa Loompa for a few days.
I could not get breastfeeding down with my first so my expectations for it with my 2nd was very low and since birth this baby is breastfeeding. I never would have dreamed we would figure it out. I say this for anyone that had issues with the first and are considering trying it again, do it! Not sure how long we will last, but to have this opportunity with him has been something I never thought I’d get to have.
Can’t wait for more babies to arrive on our board!! Hope everyone is hanging in there these final weeks.

Nymeria how was your DS at pickup today? I hope he ended up having a nice, fun day! He was great! His teacher said he only cried about 2 minutes after I left and he was in a fantastic mood when I picked him him. Tried to go back and play more after saying hi to me. He didn't nap well but the day went well otherwise. I'm sure he'll still be sad at drop off for a bit but I was happy he was fine the rest of the day. His old teachers said they even checked on him a few times and he was always happy and involved with whatever his new room was doing.

brenna thinking of you this morning! I hope you have that baby in your arms. mirabelle so glad that you and baby are doing so great. I loved the newborn stage with DD and I’m really hoping for a similar experience with DS. It’s always great to hear such positivity because it’s really easy to focus on all the hard things that go along with a new baby.

brenna hope baby is here and you are doing well! mirabelle I'm so glad things are going well for you and baby! It's 5 am and I can't sleep. Feeling gross and achey and semi-wondering if this is the beginning of baby coming. (I'm probably just getting my hopes up though).

While trying to adjust from laying propped up on my back to laying down on my side this morning I pulled the shit out of.....maybe a round ligament?? It was a sharp stabbing pain and was awful 😟 It flashed through my mind - omg what if this makes my water break! It doesn't seem to still be sore or anything, but it was not a great way to start one's day.
Eta: I lied. It is kinda sore now that I am up and moving around 😞

tbirdlove - I definitely feel it in my round ligaments when I move certain ways. Especially now that I know exactly where they are from my chiro appts. Hope all is going well brenna!!

Just got back from the chiro. After having gone 3x a week for 4 weeks I took last week off while the dr I had been seeing was out of the country. I'm so mad I took the week off. I feel amazing right now and definitely could have used a visit last week. Definitely going at least weekly until delivery from now on.
