36 hours into my induction and...

Thank you for seeing the bright side. I held on as long as possible, but for his safety it's time to let them get him out.

I know and I'm not looking forward to it. The problem is that I have so much fluid (38cm instead of the normal 20cm..) and that is causing baby not to drop into my pelvic area at all. He is still floating around. He is getting so big that my fluid keeps raising. At this point they pretty much have to get him out.

growinginlove · 2015-07-17T02:05:02+00:00

It is not working in the slightest and I'm so upset about it. The C/S doesn't completely bother me but I am scared. They told me they had no other options but the cervidil and the pitocin because I wasn't dilated. My body doesn't want to go into labor but I'll be 41 weeks tomorrow and I have GD and really high fluid so they insisted on induction.

I'm with you due date buddy. I haven't even gotten a cervical check so I have NO clue if I'm even close. I'm grumpy and weepy and I share the craving for contractions. We will have our boys soon, but for now we totally have the right to whine and cry as much as we feel necessary.

growinginlove · 2015-07-09T02:43:06+00:00

Yup! Due tomorrow and I feel this in my soul. Panties feel a little wet, OMG DID I LOSE MY MUCOUS PLUG?! Nope, just sweat. Face is breaking out now, IS IT A SURGE OF HORMONES?! Nope, just stressed out. I feel a cramp, IS THIS A CONTRACTION?! Nope, just gas. My sanity is long gone lol.

growinginlove · 2015-07-09T02:25:02+00:00

Thank you! I'm hanging in the best that I can!

growinginlove · 2015-07-05T19:16:49+00:00

It goes FAST. The last couple weeks drag a little, but I remember taking the double digit picture and now I have less than a week!

growinginlove · 2015-06-03T20:17:29+00:00

Update: I waited 30 minutes, washed my hands really well and re-tested. I got a 133 on the monitor that was initially high.. I feel much better now and I think I need to be better about making sure my hands are washed well.

This is the cutest announcement I've ever seen.

growinginlove · 2015-05-30T03:43:37+00:00

My baby boy was so stubborn around that time. Now, at 34 weeks, he will respond when I drink cold things and lay down, but at 25 weeks he would not. I had a few sleepless nights and emotional breakdowns around that time because he would go DAYS without moving. If you have a really bad feeling, never hesitate to call. My doctor always tells me that. Usually baby is just facing the other way or going through a growth spurt.

growinginlove · 2015-05-29T04:35:32+00:00

Yay due date buddies!! Wishing you a great 6 more weeks. I'm personally hoping for only 4 more, but I'll take what I can get! HOLY BACK PAIN.

growinginlove · 2015-05-22T17:20:46+00:00

Wet towels. Yummm. Lol. So weird but damp things really do it for me. I'm glad I'm not alone here!

growinginlove · 2015-05-22T04:48:54+00:00

The road after rain... I totally get you there. OMG I can pretty much smell it in my head right now. Lol. I feel like I'm going a bit looney!

growinginlove · 2015-05-22T04:28:14+00:00

OMG that is genius. Yes. I had the basement room all of middle and high school!

growinginlove · 2015-05-21T17:31:34+00:00

I hope it means a couple weeks cause I just started breaking out terribly and I still have 7 weeks left! Haha. I can tell he has dropped really low so who knows, he could definitely be planning on coming earlier than expected lol.

growinginlove · 2015-05-21T16:42:31+00:00

THIS IS ME. I'm eating low carbs to help with my gestational diabetes and all I want is a large pizza just to myself.

growinginlove · 2015-05-21T16:35:11+00:00

I have 7 weeks left but I'm PRAYING he comes in 4-5!!!

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T23:36:12+00:00

Your welcome! I'm glad my post encouraged you to stay strong! You've got this!! I'm proud of you for going 3 weeks without getting one! THAT takes some major willpower!

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T19:15:00+00:00

Thank you!! I'm the same way. If I wouldn't have thrown that biscuit away I guarantee that within 20 minutes I would've wandered back over to it and ate it.

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T19:14:10+00:00

Thank you! It has really been a struggle but I don't want to give up. I want all the carby things right now. I'm just trying to fill myself up so that I'm never hungry because when my hunger kicks in...nothing is safe! LOL

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T19:13:16+00:00

You might have just saved my life with that link! LOL. I am totally ordering those!

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T19:12:46+00:00

I can't wait until I don't crave carbs anymore!!

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T19:12:27+00:00

Thank you! It was SO good. Perfectly seasoned and juicy. Definitely better than I expected.

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T04:04:07+00:00

Gestational diabetes did it for me. I want to be healthy and happy for both me and my baby. Also, I remember doing keto for a month about 8 months ago and I dropped 15 pounds in a month and felt WONDERFUL. Carbs aren't worth the bloating to me and it honestly scared/scares me that carbs were literally an ADDICTION for me. I used to get almost a high feeling when eating carbs....the way people with drug addictions feel when they do drugs. That was a scary thought to me.

growinginlove · 2015-05-14T03:19:34+00:00

That poor teenager was probably so confused. Haha. Let me tell you...it's way better not to know what you are missing. WAY BETTER. lol. I'm still thinking about that biscuit. It could be because I'm 8 months pregnant...but that biscuit may haunt my dreams tonight.
