Darn, sorry. Maybe try the spinning babies exercises if you want? Unless you have been already, in which case I got nothing 😕 yes I plan on starting them tonight! It couldn't hurt lol. The tech said there's a lot of fluid in there so I still have a little hope Definitely can’t hurt! I’m not sure how far along you are but I think they are what got M to flip at 32w last time around.

I had an ultrasound this afternoon and baby is still breech. I don't feel comfortable having an ECV so I'll be scheduling a c section. I'm feeling very disappointed and I hope he can still turn last minute. Aw I’m sorry baby is still breech. Yes to trying all the spinning babies tricks and if you can go see a chiropractor who specializes in Webster technique. How far along are you now?

We're going to discuss scheduling a c-section at 37 weeks. I'm also not comfortable with a version.

I'm freaking beat. DS had a sedated heading test this morning, so H and I had to get up at 4 to get ready and get to the hospital by 6. It was the first time DS has been sedated, but all went well. I can't wait to go to sleep though, so tired.

Anyone else have a babe who has really spastic spasmy type of movements? I just laid here and watched my entire belly jiggle from it. It's not regular enough to be hiccups.

I just had a quick appointment with my GP who asked how far along I am - very... She laughed about a patient who came in thinking she had a stomach flu but was actually in labour. So she went home thinking first time mum, it’ll be ages, and to shower and shave her legs before going to L&D and ended up having the baby in her garage 😂

I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure I've been having more contractions recently, but it is hard to tell sometimes if it's just gas/intestinal. All of my contracting last time happened in the hospital after my induction got going and I was hooked to a monitor, so while I remember the general feeling, I can see how I would be well into labor before I really had a handle on what was happening this time. I think it's what H and I are most terrified about. My doctor reminded me today that I'll probably go pretty quickly since I'm already dilated and my first labor progressed quickly, and we're both really anxious about getting to the hospital in time.

I sympathized with the story because I felt really sick through a whole day before my contractions were anything to report and I was sure it was truly labour, but I had such a fricken long labour in the end that there was no worry about getting to the hospital in time.

I only pushed for 20 mins with DD so my MW had a talk about what to do if the baby came before I got to the hospital. I was just laughing though because I was in labor for 48 hours before that so the thought of not making it seems so absurd.

Getting E to bed was a struggle last night. She kept wanting to nurse but then kept spitting up. Finally got her down after an hour or so. She gave me a 2 hour and (2) 3 hour stretches but of course i didn’t sleep well so I think I only got 4.5 hours of sleep.

I decided this morning that since tomorrow is my due date, I’m going to work on getting this baby out of me. Since I’m already dilated and have been having some contractions, I’m indulging in some of the old wives tales. H and I had sex last night and might try again tonight, I just bought some red raspberry leaf tea, and I’m doing as much walking today as I possibly can. I figure none of it can hurt and hopefully it helps move things along.

I tried the eggplant parm with DD and it didn’t work-DH said we aren’t trying that again this time (we ended up driving down about 1.5 hrs away from the house to a restaurant that boasts labor inducing eggplant parm).
I was only in labor for 9 hrs with DD and pushed for 5 min. I’m afraid I’m going to have this kid on the side of the road since the hospital I’m delivering at is further away this time.

Thank you! I definitely take all of this with a grain of salt, it's just nice to feel like maybe I'm doing something instead of sitting around waiting. Plus, cupcakes.

Oh, they were delicious cupcakes so you can't go wrong there. Lots of work though, pretty sure if it was anything, standing in my kitchen all day helped start labor.
