Who’s next?!!!

[yianna]

I know there’s ONE March baby left.... and all of April - right?

So - babies - it’s time - we need to meet more of you, stat!

[katietopaz]

If I’m really lucky, maybe it’ll finally be me? I woke up to go to the bathroom half an hour ago and have been having painful contractions since. I’m debating starting to time them.

Today is my EDD so, I would love for baby to get a move on.

[snowmoon]

Fingers crossed for you katietopaz!

[clementine]

Come on baby topaz! If you’re not going to be early, at least be on time! Fx this is it, katietopaz!

[Leaf 🌱]

Come on baby!!! Beomg on time is a great way to start out life! Your mom would really appreciate it!

[auri]

Fx that baby topaz is working on being on time today!

[dizzycooks]

Yay!! I hope this is it. You’ve been very patient!

[cornpop]

I hope this is it katietopaz!

[yianna]

Let’s get going baby topaz!

[mrsmonogrammed]

Sending labor vibes to Baby topaz! Come on out baby, we want to meet you😊

[alwayscheese]

All right baby topaz!! Time to do the thing!!! 👐

[katietopaz]

Thanks friends! They’ve been consistently 8-10 minutes apart but the intensity really varies, so I haven’t woken up DH and I’m just seeing if I can fall back asleep or just keep hanging out here in bed.

I have a doctor’s appt in two hours. Depending on where things stand, like if contractions are still happening but it’s not quite time to head to the hospital, I wonder if I should still plan to go?

I would say if things are the same - go to the appt. they may strip you and get things moving.

If things get more intense - call - they may just see you in triage!

I hope this is it katietopaz. I would also recommend going to the appointment if things are still the same. At least they'll be able to tell you if things are happening.

[mattsgirl2004]

I hope this it for you katietopaz! If your contractions haven't picked up more or have become more intense, I'd definitely go to your appointment still. They'll be able to give you some guidance as to what's going on. FX this is just early stages of labor and things start to progress more soon.

[sweetc129]

@katietooaz hope your at your appointment and your OB sends you to L&D!! We expect live blogging.

I hope this is it katietopaz. Come on baby!

Definitely go - see if they’ll strip your membranes and the go home and have sex. If LO is anything like DD, they’ll be born within 12 hours 😂

My fingers are crossed for you katietopaz! Looking forward to an update!

[katietopaz]

I just got home from my appt. I’m at 3cm 😬 The contractions fizzled out but she swept my membranes and commented that she could about stretch me to 4cm. We’re hoping that will nudge things along. We scheduled an induction for Monday but my OB and I are doubting I’ll make it to then. Here’s hoping today or tomorrow is baby day!

It's a good start! Hopefully things will pick up from this point on that baby will be coming soon. You're so close! Hang in there!

[sunshinedaisies]

I hope things pick back up katietopaz!! You definitely deserve to have this baby, you’ve been patient enough!

[pearbear]

I definitely hope it's katietopaz turn next, but I wouldn't mind being the one after that. I have been having more on and off cramping (reminds me of period cramps still, with occasional tightening/cramping that is more intense) and just had more discharge. I just wish I knew whether this was really the start of something or what. I'm not good with the uncertainty.

Well that certainly sounds promising. No reason baby pearbear can’t come today too! And the speed in which people in here have been shooting our babies, it could be a photo finish!

[mintyblueair]

I had some painful contractions last night that fizzled out. Since then I've been losing my mucus plug in huge chunks. Now that I'm anticipating labour starting I don't feel like waiting any longer lol.

Haha...I told MH that if it's going to happen today I want it to become real in the next 5ish hours because I work right next door to my hospital. Talk about convenient! 

With DS I was overdue and my water broke, so that was just so obvious. 

[cornpop]

I hope that gets things going katietopaz

The day I had Noelle, another mom went to her appt and was 8cm dilated!! The midwife was like get to the hospital now! By the time they got there she was complete and my midwife had to undress her to get the baby out.
