Just an anecdote, I did have my membranes swept at my last appt. And then my water broke less than 24 hours later. Not sure if that was just coincidence though, since I did have extra fluid that would cause my water to break. Well I forgot to add this was for my pregnancy with DD, not this one!

grumpycat I don't think I would have them swept this time, either, because as you said, completely different pregnancy.

Aww, sorry your day didn't go as planned cnf. I'm sure you'll still look great when you reschedule! Annoying about doing the makeup again though.

I'm sorry cnf that is really annoying. DD seems to have a minor stomach bug. I'm trying to get her to rest while I scrub every surface with bleach. Please please please let me not get sick.

My ILs: "We're so glad you put her in gymnastics so she won't be scared to run, jump, play, take risks..."
Also my ILs: "She has to wear her shoes on the rocking horse in case she squishes her toes."
Also my ILs: "DD, be careful! Don't stick your tongue between your teeth when you're on the see saw even though your feet never touch the ground and there's literally no impact!"
Also my ILs: the reason why my kid is fucking terrified of risks for WEEKS after she spends a day with them.
I cannot contain my comments any more. They blow dry her hair before bed because "she'll get sick" if they don't. They constantly harass her to be careful with everything - they even find ways to tell her to be careful or she'll hurt herself while putting on her shoes. Because OMG she could twist her ankle. They are turning her into a basket case of anxiety.

Also they are turning me into the crankiest of cranky pregnant women. And they never freaking ask before offering her things - like TV after I told them I want her to watch less, yogurt after she ate a hamburger, a cob of corn, half a chicken breast, a serving of broccoli, cheese, two small pieces of cake, and a glass of milk. WHY WOULD YOU OFFER HER MORE FOOD.
And of course once you have offered a two year old something she will say yes. The words "sorry, Mommy said no" came out of FIL's mouth when I said no yogurt and I almost lost it. I am not the bad guy for trying to prevent a tummy ache from overeating.
ETA: My mood instantly improved once I got in the car. I'm home now. I promise my grandparent related rants are over until next weekend when we have a full weekend of family shenanigans planned for Thanksgiving. XD

I made myself a single serve apple crisp. I'm not sharing. And I'm eating it all. (It may be a tiny bit more than single serve. 😉😉)

Thanks for tolerating my pregnancy hormone fueled rant over nothing. I cried at H and made him feel bad. Like it's not even a big deal but it felt like it was. Ugh.
I've been having painful contractions all night now too. I'm choosing to just ignore them.

I've been having painful contractions all night now too. I'm choosing to just ignore them. Treat yourself to a refreshingly cold drink and a treat, curl up in bed, and put a guilty pleasure on Netflix to distract you. Hormones are brutal, especially when third tri discomforts are compounding them. Hope the contractions stop soon.

That's really unfair to her It's all good. I recognize I am somewhat irrational about my reactions to my ILs and can be a bit extra in my rants. Ultimately DD will be fine - I just don't want her to grow up as scared to do everything as MH has been his entire life. Deep down I know she might be like that, she might not, and there's really not all that much I can do about it. I am joining the hormonal bandwagon tonight, clearly. XD

With 1, 2 & 3 I was on progesterone suppositories and it was the worst. I’m not sure the shots would be better, just a bit less icky feeling maybe? Anyway added progesterone sucks for more than things actually related to the baby. TMI Things are very swollen, and dry, and, outside of pain and discomfort when intruded upon, there's not much sensation down there. I'm not sure I can even O at the moment. It's a real fucking bummer. Okay, so pretty much the same but without the gnarly discharge and need for panty liners.

I have about 5 tiny bleeding spots on my stomach. I do not recall scratching in that area recently and there are no signs of abrasions near the spots. They are about the size of a poppy seed and I can wipe away the blood, but it comes right back. It's not dripping down or anything though.
That's weird right? Has my skin just given up and is starting to slowly tear apart?

We still don't have a middle name for this kid. Thoughts on Cora Lillian? Or other suggestions in general?

I don't think it's weird to refuse the cervical checks. They kind of seem unnecessary. I turned down the first one (at 36 weeks, I think??) with DD1). This is weird but my OBs hands are small, it hurtnlike a bitch when she tries to reach my cervix. Ugh I'm dreading it and now thinking about turning it down. They are unnecessary, I believe, unless there's a concern that you may be at risk for pre-term labour (which some women here are, I know). You can walk around dilated for WEEKS and not be in labour or you can be closed up tight and have your water break hours later, so I just feel like a cervical check wouldn't help my brain at all. If I had one and he said I was 2 cm dilated, I'd be on pins and needles overreacting to everything, not going anywhere because OMG what if I go into labour, etc. I'm not good at being patient. Or calm. XD I’m one of those walking around for weeks at 2 & 50+, but I’ve never really experienced BH. It is like my cervix and ute are sneaky little things that when contractions actually happen my poor bladder is tortured. It

After 27 hours of Cervidil, I was at 1 cm with baby at -3 station... Just like I had been for a week and a half at a minimum, because my OB had checked and done a sweep à week and a half prior to being induced. And I'd had prodromal labour for many, many weeks, constant contractions, which clearly did nothing. It was so ridiculous. Broken water by the doc = baby in 1.5 hours. Because no one's ute follows the rules.

The soft sounds back to back sound almost choppy? Cora Katharine/Catherine Cora Grace Cora Jane/June Cora Dawn Cora Mae Cora Christine Cora Mae Cora Michelle I’m a total first name and middle name user about 50% of the time at home.

DS2 was engaged for so long, I didn’t have them check after the 36w check, that nothing happened when they broke my waters, he very well could have been delivered in caul. Then they had to use Cytotec to get my bleeding to stop and my uterus to contract. My uterus literally doesn’t like contracting on its own. Maybe both of us can find a middle ground or compromise with our utes.

Last dose of aspirin taken. Now we wait and watch for signs of pre-e. I am optimistic that it did its job!

Because no one's ute follows the rules. This was me too. Two 12 hour cervadils plus two hour break after each got me from a finger tip to 1cm. A four hour miso and another two hour break got me to 2cm. Just miserable. My cervix and my uterus totally disagree about going into labor. Evidence; five hours of timeable contractions last night. Today I'm fine.

We literally haven't even talked names. Probably won't either till baby is born. DH's friend had a baby last month and they didn't name him for almost 2 weeks at home. So now my husband thinks that's what we are doing too. 🙄🙄🙄 I've always told him that you have to name the baby before you leave the hospital. Now he thinks I've been lying to him. Lol
