Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Kim, I had a lot of spotting/bleeding too after my internal's. At my 38 week appt. I had a clot afterwards that had a lot of mucus with it... I thought it was my mucus plug until I lost my mucus plug! There is a difference! You'll know it too... {{{HUGS}}} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Kim, Well, 1/2 cm is 1/2 cm closer then you were last week, right?! Hopefully now that your body has started the process, it will just keep on going (at a little faster pace though !) and we will be receiving a wonderful announcement soon that Christian has made his way into this world!!! SOON!! I like what you told your dr...there is just only so much perky one can be! -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Kim: I am so sorry dear that you have not progressed no more. I understand that you must be getting very cranky. When Madison was born she was at 36 weeks and I was so cranky I could not even stand myself let alone anyone else.I know I could not of even thought of making it to 40 weeks. I am glad your B/P was doing okay dear. I hope you will go on your own soon and not have to be induced either dear. Thinking of you!! Hugs, Dana R.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Dana R, Thanks, I really feel the same way. It is terrible to feel so miserable. And poor dh, one minute I am happy, the next cranky! I know part of the problem is that i need to rest more, so I am really going to try and do that, so that when this baby does arrive, I will be in a good mood.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Amy R, Yes, 1/2 is better than 0, and that was all I wanted to hear today, that I had made some bit of progress. I guess we are all just so excited to meet this baby, and with the way I was feeling, we thought for sure that I would go early. The baby has other ideas though! My doc told me today that the average is for first time babies to come 5 days late. I am still hoping on a little early though! His due date is 2 days before my B-day, so I would really like an early B-day present! Hope you are feeling well. Kim 37w, 5d > Kim, > > Well, 1/2 cm is 1/2 cm closer then you were last week, right?!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Kim These weekly visits do not sound like fun. I am glad you are making a little progress. I hope your little one arrives on his own. Pam 29 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Kim, Oh no! 5 days late for first timers?! That's not good. I spoke to my insurance co. the other day...apparently I was suppossed to notify them once pg was confirmed, OOPS! Anyway, I also asked about billing then since I'm due so close to the end of the year...and as long as I go into labor and am admitted to the hospital in this calendar year it will all be billed as part of this year...that sure would be nice cause then I wouldn't have to pay the deductible and out of pocket expenses for another year again..the whole thing would be fully covered. As I get further along, I may even bring up the possibility of induction before the year expires with my dr...I mean, there isn't much difference between going 2 days overdue (which would put me at 12/31/01) and 7 days, is there? Well, I kind of went off on a little tangent there, I guess seeing your dr's quote of an average, made all these thoughts come to the surface I still have plenty-o-time to think this one through! -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Amy R, I do not know the difference in inducing at 7 days versus 2 either. I asked my doc today why we could not go in the day after my due date and do it, why we had to wait 5 days. He said - glad he is thinking of his patients - that Tuesdays are the day he is down here(he also has an office where he is 4 days a week 1.5 hour away), so sine I am down here and going to the hospital here, he only induces on Tuesdays when he is here all day. Go figure, the doc and the insurance always get their ways. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Kim, I think it is pretty common to have some spotting when the do the internal exams, especially at the end. Though I must say, I never made it to 37.5 weeks with Daisy, so I'm not really sure! I'm hoping you won't need to be induced! Come on, Christian!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Kim, The bleeding is completely normal. That could have been the mucus plug, but only time will tell. Hold on sweetie, it's almost over. Love & hugs, Jo-Ann My 37.5 week doc appt Hi ladies,Well I had my appt today, and not much more progress than last week. I am a 1/2 cm dilated, I thought that the doc said one, dh says that he said a fingertip, which is a 1/2 cm, but either way, something is going on in there. I was so glad to hear it, because for a week and a half I have had the worst menstrual type cramps and pressure, so I am at least glad to know that was the reason. Doc asked why I was not my usual perky self today (I was alot cranky!) and I said because I have been perky for 9 months, and now I am uncomfortable and not so happy.My blood pressure was down to 112, it was 135 the last 2 visits so that was good. I gained 3 lbs this week, so 17 total. I thought that you were supposed to stop gaining at the end, seems like all my weight is being added now!We really thought with all the pressure I have been feeling for a few weeks now that Christian would make an early appearance, but it does not seem that way, either way 3 weeks from today if he does nto arrive, I will be induced, that is 5 days past my due date. I am hoping not to have to be induced though.One question for those of you who have had babies already, I seem to spot when I get home from the internals, this happened last week and I know that is normal, but today it was a lot more bleeding for a short time, and there was a blood type clot there, could that be my mucus plug? Sorry to be graphic, I was not sure. Thanks for listening, I came home today and layed down and took a nap, so I am finally feelign a little better.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Kim, I am just so glad the dr could fit you into his schedule...geez! I guess it doesn't bother him a bit if you have to wait 5 more uncomfortable days, does it?! Well, I sure hope you have thought and worried about this for nothing and don't end up needing to wait those extra days. Come on, Christian!!! You can do it!! -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
