OMGosh it's August Randoms!

[muscari]

king26 I feel the same way. It is frustrating to know so many even with later due dates already are holding their babies and here I am still stuck with mostly just annoying BH and not even rral contractions yet! Ofcoz I am happy for those with outside babies - you know that! - but I want mine too haha 😊

I really overdid things last week with Friday being the worst so I was forced to take it easy this weekend.. but have plans for tomorrow so I better have some energy heh. Bedtime now!

[bsouls]

I'd just like to mention one of the positives to having a baby born later in the month to those still with inside babies... I found it helpful first time around with having a baby born on the 22nd, because people would post phases that their babies were going through and I'd be like, "not me," but sure enough with in a couple weeks T would hit that phase. It really helped H and I to know what to expect/prepare for.

addymac congrats! I'm so excited to read more and meet baby boy!

king26 and muscari I'm pretty sure baby isn't coming until september. I haven't even been getting BH.

[king26]

Hang in there with us elliecat17, My doctor said they won't even talk inducing until 41 weeks (August 30) if everything is looking good still. So I may be right there with you.

Hugs to those of you who are still pregnant. I had a June 29th due date with my first and went to a 4th of July party still pregnant. It's kind of fun when you get to point that people ask when you're due and you get to say "5 days ago". But other than that, it's no fun at all. No fun. I'm so sorry.

[kristyw]

elliecat17 Yeah my OB pre-emptively scheduled me for an induction on Sept 2 if I make it that far. She scheduled me a few weeks out with DS too. I'd be a day shy of 41 weeks, but she doesn't like to let anyone go to 41. Fine by me!

Geez you're lucky! My midwife said she wouldn't even consider anything until 41+3 and since she is going off my LMP and I went off the dating ultrasound, I will be 41+5/6. And even then she said if an ultrasound at that time looks OK she'd let it go to 42. *cries*.

My midwife says at the earliest 41 weeks but I can go until 41+6 so I feel your pain.

So since 5:30 this morning when I stand and or walk I've been having leaking. I called the midwife and they want me to come in and check. But of course I have no car. Why? Because mine is up on a lift (since Saturday) so H can fix the fog lights and I'm not sure how well the bumper is attached right now. Guess this pregnant lady is going to go check that there are at least 2 bolts holding it in. I called my MIL and she said oh I'll call you right back. That was 30 minutes ago. I have a 30 minute drive and need to be there in 50 minutes. I really hate not having any friends or family near me, and today I hate laziness. I have told H many times I cannot be this close to go time and not have a vehicle. *silent screams of frustration*

[muscari]

elliecat17 ugh so sorry about the additional stress about your car and all - you really don't need that right now. Hugs. Exciting that this may be the start of something though!? Will be stalking for updates after your MW appointment.

[unicornsparkles]

Good luck today elliecat17!

[muscari]

AFM waiting at the hospital for our appointment. They running late as usual.... and I am grumpy as F. Found that we arent being seen by my regular OB nor MFM but a gyn in resident and a med student. Doesn't inspire confidence .. I am here to discuss induction and how/when to get this baby out! Also not really keen on a cervical check by yet another person that I havent ever met before. Sorry did i mention I was grumpy?? Grrrr

[unicornsparkles]

Do you all remember how a few months ago I was all like 'no I'm not doing newborn pics because we haven't done them with any of our kids and it's not my thing'?

Well put my foot in my mouth, I am so obsessed with this baby and cannot get enough of her. We have a photographer friend coming to the house tomorrow to do newborn pics. 😬😆

[yoshijo]

elliecat17 sounds like your water broke!!

[elliecat17]

MIL called back literally seconds after I finished bolting the bumper back on and opening up the gates.

muscari I'm sorry lady! I hope that you get some good news and that it's not too bad of a check.

Is it common to come in trickles and then every once in a while more?

From what I have been told and going by the questions my OB asked when she wanted to know whether I was leaking, it can absolutely happen like this!

[muscari]

Geez... every other lady waiting herr brought their cranky crying and screaming toddler.....

[jt2378]

elliecat17, yes it definitely can trickle like that! GL, hope its baby time for you 😊

muscari, I'm sorry, I would be grumpy AF. How the hell are you supposed to make a plan with residents? Ugh sorry I hope you get some answers

[jexxa]

elliecat17 it most definitely can happen like that. And your H sounds like my H with the procrastination 😒

[jt2378]

@starzia, how you doing girl? Hanging in there? When's your next appointment?

[elliecat17]

It was my water! Checking in to the hospital in a bit!

That's what happened to me, although within 30 mins it was soaking through my pants. But it wasn't dramatic, it started as a trickle. So excited for you!

[yoshijo]

elliecat17 are you having contractions?

[elliecat17]

Not really. Just cramps

[unicornsparkles]

Yay elliecat17!!! An eclipse baby!

[muscari]

elliecat17!!!!! So excited for you!! Good luck and 🤞 for a smooth delivery! Will be stalking for updates ☺

[king26]

muscari, I have med students and residents in with my MW all the time. Thankfully she has done all my cervix checks and has let them measure my stomach and do the heartbeat check.

Can't wait to see the pictures unicornsparkles, I'm super excited to do our newborn photos.

YAY! Hope it goes smoothly elliecat17,

[thinkchocolate05]

Good luck elliecat17!! So exciting
