Bad news (likely why I had that feeling) was that when I got home, my house had been ransacked and I had a few thousand dollars worth of items stolen :/
My pre-labour signs halted for most the day due to the stress of it all but seems to be back now I've calmed heaps but all irregular.
Thanks. My body isn't liking the stress. Back at mine to let forensics through and clean up the mess and that stopped everything again. I believe it to be my body's protective response. Unsafe environment so body in fight mode. Others go into flight mode and deliver. Now why can't that be me. My house can then be left "as is" for a few days and the boys can be looked after. Less likely to be broken into whilst being here and pregnant still that way
Cervix elongation has gone from 2cm left to 4.3 and dilation from 2.5 to 1.5 thanks to my body not feeling safe enough. Looks like she will be holding on for a few more weeks after all. Hopefully will still avoid induction and trying to be positive about it. Sadly though, I no longer believe she will be born by Monday but I will be ok with that....sooner or later lol.
I guess if she's ok in there damprye then she'll be alright staying in for a few more weeks? Hopefully by then the stress of the house stuff will have died off & you can concentrate on bringing your girl into the world. I know that doesn't ease your discomfort though.
I'm good, iron tablets have made me feel a lot better & my tummy is definitely starting to round out & looks less "blobby" & more baby bump lol. Still no real movement /kicks being felt - kick baby, kick! Maybe bub just has too much room in there? (DD stretched the hell out of me) Or maybe there's just too much padding
Eviction is being booked. Not too thrilled about doing that to my lil Miss, I would prefer natural but the thieves ruined that one for us. S&S has been done and will *hopefully* mean induction won't be needed but I find out today when that will be booked in. OB agreed though, she needs to come out ASAP as she isn't doing so well herself and well, I am obviously not coping. I walked in ready to discuss an induction but before I could, I just started bawling my eyes out. Not my finest moment.
Hugs damprye - you have done a fantastic job growing your little girl, allow yourself to cry as needed, you've been through so much. I'm glad your Ob is being sympathetic. Hopefully the s&s will do the trick & you'll have your little girl in your arms within the next 48hrs.
I've just told my BB due group that we're having a girl (it wasn't a secret but I hadn't been ready to share just yet) and I wanted to share the news with you guys too It was a bit of a shock as we were both hoping for a boy but I think I was actually more disappointed than DP. I felt my first real kick on Saturday - it surprised me & brought tears to my eyes.
I'm being as impatient as hell atm waiting for this damn phone call to tell me when I'm having my baby! The s&s hasn't made me feel any different at all and I really don't think that's going to cut it atm so just HANGING for that call! He has been busy with deliveries so I know why but damn, I need to know, it's sending me insane!
AFM- OB S&S + acupuncture + M/W S&S all done 24hrs apart, including this morning. The s&s today couldn't be done properly, couldn't do the sweep as no longer dilated or effaced enough. All she could try was to massage the outside of my cervix and try and stretch my cervix to admit a fingertip! I was an easy 2 big male OB fingers on Monday, now only a little female fingertip!
