Wish me luck!

posted 13th Feb
So I have 23 days until my son is due to arrive  . Please wish me luck for my apt. I am hoping that my body is beginning to progress  ! I just officially dropped all the way Monday, and I also lost my plug that morning or part of it. So I am hoping that means things will begin to start within a few days up to a week or so, and then keep going from there! I am not saying I want to progress and have him right now because I do want him to stay as long as he wants, but I am just wanting to progress so that way things will be able to happen naturally. I am a paranoid person who thinks I won't progress and will have to be induced and then have to have a C-section which I don't want! I want to have a natural V birth  ). So wish me luck ladies, I can't hardly think about sleep. I just want to know if I am progressing!!

You will progress when your body is ready you shouldn't be worring about it right now I have been progressing sense 32 weeks and have had every drug to stop labor under the sun 36 weeks is still considered early and there is always a chance that your actually 34 instead of 36. My advice calm down and take your mind off it when your body is ready it will happen sometimes it's a slow process other times it is fast just have to wait and see no need stressing yourself out about it :-) good luck to you we are the same week I'm due on the 13th...

I am right at 37 weeks on Friday. I am afraid of not progressing because it happens in my family or at least with my sister and she needed a C-section because of it. A friend of mine who had her son yesterday as well stopped progressing at 8 cm and had to have a c section because her body wouldn't go anymore. I don't want to be induced or have a c section which I why I am hoping something is starting to happen. I didn't mean labor, I just meant that hopefully my body is starting to do what it needs to. And the 13th is my birthday. I have a feeling he will be early anyways but I don't know yet. And I know I could be 35 instead of 37 but I honestly feel like I am possibly a week further, when I go back and calculate things my body seems to possibly be a week farther then everyone thinks.

If you get to 8cm and your labor stops ask for a pit drip as long as the baby is not in distress there should be no reason to rush you off to surgery. I would speak with your OB about your concerns for although you may need a pit drip for part of your labor you may not need it for the whole thing and there are others ways as well. They have vaginal suppositories that help dilate the cervix as well which could be a nice option for you if you would need help to jump start the process.

That is why I feel so worried. They did this for both my friend and my sister and neither kept progressing :/ I am sure I will do fine...I'm just a paranoid yuppy lol.

Lol this time around I was going into pre-term sense 32 weeks and now my contractions have pretty much stopped so my doctor is talking about inducing me at 39 weeks if he doesn't come before she gave me a bunch of useful information for I want to avoid a pit-drip if I can she said there was a mesh insert, oral meds, the vaginal suppository and a membrane sweep as well as a few others next week at my appointment she is printing me off a list and going over which method I would be more comfortable with. I will say pit-drips do suck but they are very effective and you shouldn't need a C-section with it. I guess the oral meds you take for a few days and it helps thin you out and gets you dilating.

I am hoping I won't need any of those! I want everything to happen on it's own. But if something does go wrong then I will accept what has to be done to get him here safe and sound. And I am sorry I hope they start up for you naturally again!

I think it will she told me to walk I did for an hour and was contracting like crazy just finally settled down so I don't think it will be hard to jump start once I need to.

I hope so. I will send you contraction dust, and labor dust when time comes lol! I swear my body has been playing with me. I will get contractions like 3 or 4 and then I am timing them and they go on for like 2 hours and I get kind of excited but then they stop O.O I am like really, seriously you had to play with me like this like wth lol

Lol I have had that happen I was like that today with my NST after my doctor gave me the green light and told me I was off bedrest and start walking and even mentioned cleaning I guess it helps them get started just to realize I wasn't contracting at all at that moment. I will send you a bunch to :-)

Well that is AWESOME!! I am so glad I never had to be on bed rest I would die, since I can't sit, or lay still for more then 15 minutes without being sooo uncomfortable!! And that would be good to get all you need done. Do you know any ways to jump start contractions and help keep them going?? I want to try starting once Friday gets here since I will be term then. I thought I wanted him to stay but I am so uncomfortable I wouldn't mind him making an appearance now if he is ready lol.

All she said to me was walking, cleaning, and excercise but some people say sex helps. With me activity in any form starts them up and then they just grow in intensity real quick I am not sure what will work for you.

What about walking through the contraction and stuff? Does that possibly help? I want to begin walking to help stuff get easier for me and I am hoping it will.

I honestly have no idea never tried to help things along have always tried to prevent it with my body the moment I start walking I contract the longer I walk the stronger and closer together they come so I still holding off a bit cause I want him to bake longer but everyone is different so I am not sure what will work for you. I would suggest speaking with your doctor and seeing ehat they say.
