blabbermouth,I was gbs+ with dd. It wasn't really a big deal they just added antibiotics to my iv. I'm not sure about getting to the hospital earlier though since I had an unexpected induction.

How far along are you?
36w on Thursday
Appointments coming up?
Thursday is 36w appt
How are you feeling? Exhausted, moving is difficult, doing anything quickly is impossible, I think I’ve got a version of whatever my little 2 have but since I’m still BFing, I’m not surprised. But I’ve been sleeping pretty good, so at least my mind isn’t total mush too.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments?
Appt Thursday and u/s to follow up on kidneys.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? L4 meeting big brothers and just watching them with him/her. I’m most excited to meet this little one and have our family complete.

I was also GBS+ so I expect to be this time as well, and I will +1 all of this. Except I went to the hospital because my water broke. |

blabbermouth I'm hoping to get to at least Sunday. That would put me at 37 weeks. I know this kid has a mind of his or her own, but a couple more days would be ideal lol. The doc seemed dubious about getting to my appointment next week so we shall see.

blabbermouthI was gbs+ with DS, they want to get at least 4 hours of antibiotics in you before delivery. Was not a big deal since we were scheduled for an induction and they just started those when they started IV. If you go into labor on your own, they will still start antibiotics as soon as you check into the hospital. I was advised that if I did go into labor on my own, to make sure and advise my nurse that I was gbs+ so they could get that going...

blabbermouth, I want to add that I never made it to the GBS test so they treated it like I was. My labor was so short I only got one round in and it wasn't a big deal, they gave DS a dose directly after he was born to be safe. I think they suggest you go in a little earlier than if you weren't so they can start the abx but again, like with me it turned out to not be a big deal that we didn't get all four doses.

How far along are you?
34 weeks today!
Appointments coming up?
Next Friday, I’ll be 35+3
How are you feeling?
I’m feeling okay. I’m so tired, but my sleep has been terrible (this hotel sucks and I’m sleeping less than I already was). Im less swollen this week than I have been for months, yay! My BH are all the time, but other than a couple day, they’re painless, so it’s fine.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments?
Scheduled c-section for 11/14- but still not time slot. I’m realizing they booked me for an appointment next week, then 2 more weeks after that, I’ll be 37+3, then a week later, but then I’m 39 weeks and having the kid. I feel like I should have more appointments in there... I’ll have to call when I get back in town.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? Oh the cuddles... and the smell... I’m looking for meats to DD2 meeting her baby brother. H and I took a nap with her a couple weekends ago and I definitely imagined cuddling with Jack too... H and I took a lot of naps with DD2... I know it’ll be different with a toddler, but I’ll be happy with one a day.

grumpycat, eek! No cervix checks yet for me, so I have no idea if I’m dilated at all. My induction is booked, though! I’ll be admitted the night of 10/29 (I’ll be 38+1) to start with “cervix softening meds” and pitocin will start the morning of the 30th.

I like to be prepared, well as prepared as I can be. I hope your cervix is nice and soft before your induction  That makes things a bit speedier. |

It is spiky. And dry. It's like stuffing a cactus up your vag and leaving it there. It didn't do anything for me either... went in at 1 cm, had two doses of Cervidil over 27 hours, was still 1 cm. I will be grumpy if they want to do that again. |

Yup, I never made it past 1cm with it either. Load of hogwash and I got two 12 hour doses as well, plus a few hours in between. |

I figured I would update here. So baby flipped head down- yay! But my BP is slowly creeping up. Not cause for concern quite yet, barely above what it was last appointment, but enough that my OB wanted some labs done. So I am awaiting those results. She said if it keeps creeping up, we are probably looking at an induction around 38 weeks, possibly even 37 weeks. 37 weeks would be my H's bday on the 21st! That is only a week and a half away! So that is exciting/nerve wracking. lol. I have the growth US next week so that will give me a slightly better idea of baby's size. I have a US pic from today since my OB did a quick one, I will post when I am on tapatalk. It is a funny one. |

thatgolfb, sharing a birthday with your DH could be fun, OR you could push for waiting like 4 more days. Just saying. Hooray for baby being where it needs to be!

Baby still measuring 2w ahead, the whole baby (tummy, head, length). So we have scheduled our tentative induction for 11/7. Kidneys are measuring big still, but they are not bad, just something to watch. 8/8 on the BPP, so whoop!

No GBS for me today so I opted out of a cervical check. But I am being shifted to weekly appointments a bit early because contractions and prior PROM. I'll get my GBS and a cervical next week.

34 weeks today
OB appt tonight, everything checked out.
Based on the fact that I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead ob thinks I'm going to have a 9lb baby before my due date.
Feeling good, gotta start walking more as my swelling has increase a little but I've been a lot more sedentary since my step challenge ended.
QOTW: Cuddles, can't wait for the squishy cuddles
