I am having to (urgently) pee constantly and lots of pressure down low and in my lower back. Hopefully baby has dropped and I'll actually show some progress at my check on Tuesday. 🤞

Hopefully baby has dropped and I'll actually show some progress at my check on Tuesday. 🤞 I've been in horrible pain all week. Contractions, cramps, stabbing cervical pain, back pain. I can barely walk and spend half my day doubled over. I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon and if I don't have any progress I'm probably going to cry. I cried in the bathroom the other night so I'm going to be pretty upset if this is all for nothing. Fingers crossed you have progress! These last week's are so damn hard.

Still no dilation. And she had to seriously dig to find my cervix because it's so high and posterior 😭
I know it means nothing, I was told all this same stuff and my water broke within 48 hours of hearing it with both girls, but damn it makes the pain I've been in so fucking useless and frustrating. My body is so bad at this.

Had my weekly appt with my OB. She agreed with all of us that a measurement appt day before baby being born was a bit ridiculous and told me to cancel the appt before I even asked 😂

cnf I’m angry at the universe on your behalf. Crossing everything that *something* happens and your baby gets to be the first one born on our board. I'm not surprised. It was the same rigamarole with both girls too. At this point I'm going to mostly forfeit my efforts to get myself into labor and just assume I'll roll into my csection on Wednesday. I get to go have my preadmission covid test tomorrow. Woo 🙄 I'm sorry about your fluid levels and imminent early delivery. Fingers crossed that your little babe is hanging in there a bit longer for you. Have you had a prior csection? If you end up in that boat I'm happy to answer all your questions you might have about it.

I had a big fish after getting out of bed a bit ago. Changed my bottoms and put on a panty liners. Wiped and had pink blood. I never had a bloody show or lost my plug with the girls, so I'm now playing "gross discharge or waters leaking" God I hope my water breaks, lol. I'm crampy too,so here's to hoping he comes this weekend.

Put a fresh one on and now I'm walking on the treadmill hoping to get things moving.

shesellscshells spending the day having people diagnosis the contents of my underwear sounds not fun. Hopefully everything else is uneventful until Monday. Anything happening cnf? The weather is finally gorgeous here. We all went to DD's soccer this morning and the park this afternoon. Trying to soak up the last days as a family of 4. DH is struggling - his work always seems to get really busy when we have babies, and he was first diagnosed with anxiety after the birth/terrible colic newborn stage of our first. His anxiety is spiraling a bit and I feel so bad for him because I know how that feels.

Nothing yet fem. I think, I don't really know. The bleeding was light and persisted for a few hours but has since stopped. Lots of snotty discharge so I think I've lost bits of plug. Now it's just like a small wet spot constantly either in my liner or undies, depending on if I have one to throw on or not. I'm hemming and hawing over going to L&D to get swabbed for fluid. I don't really want to but I probably should.

Ended up deciding to get checked. I am in fact leaking the world's slowest leak ever. I'm only 70% and 1cm but the on call midwife is encouraging me to TOL and not just jump right for another csection, so I guess that's the plan! Hopefully by tomorrow this baby is out one way or another.
Same thing three times now; hard, closed, and posterior, then the second I dilate my water pops. Thanks for being consistent, body.

How are things going this morning, cnf? Thinking of you! I'm hanging in there. Contractions got really intense for a few hours, so I got an epidural and slept a few hours. I'm still kind of in and out. Curious to see if I've made any progress with it, I never got one with either of the girls. If I'm not making progress my OB will push for a csection which is fine with me, but my nurse just said I'm having plenty of contractions despite me not feeling them much, mostly just pressure, so fingers crossed. No matter what this kid is coming today.

shesellscshells do you have a check up today? It stormed all night last night. My girls slept through it, but it was seriously like the inside baby heard it and was moving around all night keeping me awake. At least both girls are at daycare today and all week...since this was supposed to be my induction day. 😭

She just pushed it back until Saturday because my cervix was 'unfavorable.' Although that was last Tuesday, and baby has definitely dropped/tons more pressure since. I have another check tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry, that's very frustrating. Hopefully you'll go on your own before then.

Another ultrasound this morning. Little miss continues her trend of being in a different position each time - she’s back to head-down now. AFI is stable at just under 5cm, with deepest fluid pocket measuring almost 3cm, so I’m released to go continue being pregnant for at least a few more days. My bile acids came back within the normal range again, so maybe I won’t have cholestasis this pregnancy? 🤷♀️ I expect we’ll get them drawn again later this week and maybe next week as well, assuming I’m still pregnant. I have an OB checkup Wednesday, then BPP ultrasounds every Mon/Wed/Fri until delivery. That's a lot of appointments, but glad she gets to stay put for longer and everything's looking good!
