This is SO not how I pictured my L&D to go...but I can''t really play ''what if'' at this point. The safe and timely delivery is the most important thing. Who knows, I could wait and wait and wait only to have a stalled labour, HUGE baby, meconium, higher chance of C-section and more difficult recovery. Why would that be better?

Mela, delurking to say best of luck tomorrow!! And you are right to have the concerns above... My friend''s wife went 2 weeks overdue before consenting to induction, labored for three days with two pitocin (sp?) drips before needing a c-section to deliver their 11.5 lb (!!) son... in addition to the extra-hard recovery for the mom, weeks later they were still really, really sad about needing a surgical procedure instead of a natural birth process. Long story short, don''t be sad! Healthy Romuna and healthy mela are most important, many will be routing for you tomorrow, and can''t wait to find out the proper name sometime soon

Mela--sending you ''quick labor'' vibes. Sound like you all have a good ''plan'' in the works and i hope it goes smoothly. Your PSer friends are all anxiously awaiting the news...

 

[snlee]

mela, so excited for you! Good luck!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Mela, I was induced (41 weeks) and it was an awesome experience! I was closed as well. Never dropped or lost my plug. I like to joke that I would still be preggo. Even with almost 3 hours of pushing my labor was only 8.5 hours long. My water broke on its own while I was at the hospital and there WAS meconium in my water. Thankfully everyone was prepared and my daughter was healthy.

 

[puffy]

mela, good luck!!! sending tons of smooth L&D dust your way!!

[sweet pea]

Go Mela, Go Mela, Go!! Can''t wait for the update..

 

[NovemberBride]

Brgirl, Ales is adorable.

Mela, I hope you are holding your new little one by now.

We have our 16 week appt tomorrow, which probably isn''t going to be that exciting (although I look forward to hearing the heartbeat). But then we get to schedule the 20 week appt to find our if it''s a boy or girl! DH and I went shopping this weekend and picked out furniture and bedding, but are waiting to find out what we are having to place the order.

 

[taovandel]

our 20 week u/s is the last Friday of June....I tried to get the lady to move the appointment up. I'll admit it I was even tempted to lie and say I was out of town and to move it up to Monday or something like that.

I'm getting annoyed by tiny little things now. This lady at work had 2 kids, 10 years ago. She always says things that make me feel like crap. She's amazed that I don't have some feeling about what the kid is (I do and have told her that) but she keeps on insisting that I've said I have no feelings about it. She also claims she felt her first daughter at 6 weeks. Ummmmm, that's impossible so says everyone I've ever met and every single thing I've ever read. The baby is like half the size of a pea. I have only felt fluttering a few times and I'm still not 100 percent sure it was the baby and I'm at 16 weeks--so again, she's trying to make me feel bad.

I said that I had lost 1 lb since my last appointment and she said she lost 25 lbs with her pregnancy.

It's sooooo annoying! Is it wrong that I'm hoping for a girl just to prove her prediction of a boy wrong?
