Biggsista- I hope you get great news today!! Hopefully baby has dropped and you can go with the induction. Good luck.

All labor signs here have come to a screaching halt. I seem to have contractions on and off, but nothing to exciting. I think I'm so antsy because DS was born early. I guess I just expected this one to be the same, boy was I wrong. He is definitly snuggled in not ready to come yet. So, I have decided not to try and hurry him, he will come when he is ready. Besides, whats another few weeks!

Hope everyone is doing well this Monday!!

WOW!! We have had a lot of deliveries lately!! Congrats to all my new moms

.

It's hasn't really been the July due date buddies after all. I can't wait to see of pics of all the new babies. Here's a few pics of Autumn, my little peanut. She is so tiny but very busy and certainly has a personality.

Tina- Autumn is so beautiful. I bet you just can't keep your hands off of her!!

Biggsista- Good luck on Wednesday. Things will go smoothly and you will be home in no time. Just remember, if you have any questions ask. It will make things less scary if you know everything ahead of time. Believe it or not helping with sections at work is my favorite thing to do. Lots of prayers your way and can't wait to see pics!

Shelly, LMBO @ Yankee Doodle Danny! You just may be having your own fireworks on Friday! My due date was the 3rd and everyone kept telling me it would be very cool have them on the 4th, but my little firecrackers weren't waiting another 2 months! HA

Tina, Autumn is beautiful!!! She looks so peaceful.

Biggsista, no worries about the C-section. You will be surprised how quickly you recover. After a week, you will be getting around much easier. I felt better after my C-section MUCH quicker than after my lap surgery for removal of my endometrial polyps. That took a good 3 weeks to get around with ease and comfortable sitting and standing!

To all who are still cooking their little beans, hang in there.....you all may be having your own fireworks on Friday!

I just noticed the unhappy face on my post......don't know how he got there! HAHAHA

Hi ladies!!

congrats to all the new mommies!! your babies are beautiful.

Bigsissta - good luck on wed. can't wait to see pics!!

So you mommies....what did your contractions feel like? I've been having period type cramps on and off since about 4 yesterday. It's mostly on my left side front and back. My stomach don't seem "tight" though when I feel these cramps. I've also "TMI" have had diarrea since then and that is a very different change of pace for my intestines..lol. Is this signs of something going on like BH's or am I just reading into it too much? I really don't know what to expect ...getting kinda nervous

allikat415 · #**1508** (**permalink**) 07-01-2008, 10:27 AM

Bambi- It sounds like your body is trying to get itself ready. I know how you feel. About a week ago I started having a lot contractions and diarrhea. They started with menstral like cramps that graduated to full blown contractions. My tummy got really hard and it was very painful in my cervix area. I thought things were finally happening, then bam NOTHING. I did lose my plug this weekend, but now I'm not having as many contractions. I am having tons of pressure though!! Hang in there, our time is coming. I'm going to try to get my OB to strip my membranes at my appt tomorrow. We'll see!!

imtrying2 · #**1509** (**permalink**) 07-01-2008, 05:20 PM

Bambi - Be prepared to have the baby!! I think you will deliver within the next few days. My great-grandmother told me that I will get diarrhea before the baby comes. My pregnancy book said the same thing. I really didn't pay it any mind . I felt that I would deliver on the 18th or the 21st. On the 18th I got diarrhea and then my contractions (uterus getting tight and hard) became more frequent. When I woke up on the 20th I felt so much pressure like she was going to fall out. I went to work but as the day progressed the pressure became stronger. So I was stuck as work with the runs and feeling the baby was going to fall out in the toliet. Went to hospital on 20th and she came on the 21st.

Once your contractions become more intense it is very uncomfortable. It feels like really strong menstral cramps all over your stomach. I held out as long as I could before I got an epidural. Once they added Pitocin it increased the intensity of the pain and I couldn't take it anymore.

Foxxy - I'm having a hard time with my c-section. The doc said it will be a little more painful for me since I had two previous abdominal surgeries and I have scar tissue from them. I really didn't want a c-section because of the recovery but I knew it was best for the baby. My mom has set up camp with us and my friends have been cooking dinner and doing laundry for me since I really can't do much. I wish I had your quick recovery time.

Tina, Autumn is just beautiful!!!!!!

Well, my doctors have decided that they are worried that I am just too big for my frame so tomorrow is the day for me!!!!!! In less than 24 hours, I will be holding my twins!!!!!!

I will be getting a wireless card for the laptop so that I can post an update in a few days. I am so excited, I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight!

Talk to you all soon!

Hey there, I am just a lurker on the July due date buddies. Just wanted to congratulate everyone on their little new bundles of joy!!! I am due in August, but when I read this forum, I think I may too go in July!! haha. Seems like everyone is going super early on here! Kinda scary! Good luck to everyone - all the new babies are gorgeous!

Bambi · #**1512** (**permalink**) 07-02-2008, 09:53 AM

Oh Rachel good luck today!!! Can't wait to see pics of the twins and hear how it went!!

Bambi · #**1513** (**permalink**) 07-02-2008, 09:57 AM

Well nothing more on me. No more cramping or diarrhea. I guess maybe it was a sign that I need to get my butt in gear and get things ready. I just feel like I have all the time in the world.

I think reality finally hit me. hows things going for the rest of you?

allikat415 · #**1514** (**permalink**) 07-02-2008, 10:56 AM

Rachel- Oh, how exciting!! I hope things go smoothly and I can't wait to see pics of those babies!

Bambi- Sorry things slowed down, I know how you feel. I hope you are feeling well and can get some of your final tasks finished!

Biggsista- Todays the big day!!! Good luck and can't wait to see pics!

Dana- Haven't heard from you in a few days, how are you doing? Had that baby yet??

Well, my Dr appt didn't go real well today. Good news first, I am 3cm, 60%, and my water is bulging. Dr went ahead and striped my membranes, which wasn't bad at all since I was already dilated. He made a comment that he was surprised my water didn't break while he was doing it. Bad news, my blood pressure keeps getting higher each week. Dr decided to do blood work today and if anything comes back the slightest bit off I will be induced tomorrow. If blood work comes back fine and I don't go into labor this weekend then I go back on Monday for reassessing. I won't know anything until later tonight or tomorrow morning, but will update you when I hear. I hope everyone is doing well today!!

imtrying2 · #**1515** (**permalink**) 07-02-2008, 03:39 PM

Rachel - Can't believe the babies will be here soon!!

allikat415- Seems like you will be delivering soon as well. All the babies being born is so exciting!!

I sometimes miss being pregnant, I was so use to feeling her move around. But is nice to be able to hold her in my arms. My son is so excited about being a big brother. I'm enjoying being home with the kids all day. I know it will be hard for me to go back to work.
