Baby Girl Update
Tuesday:
Only a couple of contractions in the morning and in quite a bit of pain/discomfort all day.
Wednesday:
Terrible sleep the night before and in a TON of pain all day. Like had-a-few-cries pain and could barely move. No contractions. Called the OB midday and they said to call back Friday if I was still in pain. I chugged cranberry juice and worked on my laptop so I could be more comfortable.
Today:
After two full days on medication, I slept a bit better last night. No tears from the pain yet today, but still uncomfortable to move and going to the bathroom every 15-20 min.
So now the questions remains is to induce before 40 weeks or not. (FYI that we induced at 40wks6d with Drew). I really wanted to feel non-induction labor this time, but my parents arrive tomorrow, I'm in a lot of discomfort all day and will be at 39.5wks Friday. My OB is completely fine inducing even at 39 weeks with the second kid, but I didn't want that option. I know she's fully cooked, but I have mixed emotions on evicting her before she's ready. Ugh. The decisions we make as parents!
Beautiful pictures. You will know what the right decision is. We were all set to induce with Drake due to low fluid, cancelled it the night before, and he came on his own the next day anyway. I'm sorry to hear you are in pain still. Sending lots of hugs your way and strength to get through this last little bit and make the decision best for you all.
ReplyDeleteYou will do the right thing, You know what is best for your body, best for you baby, and best for your family. It will all come together in the right time, just when you need it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the news!

It is SO hard to wait when you're so close to the end, but my vote is you try to wait and let your body go on its own. It will most likely be a shorter, easier labor if it's actually your baby's pre-determined time to come out. Best of luck whatever you decide though!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing! I hope your little girl comes soon!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I am so sorry you are in so much pain :( Praying for you and baby girl, and it will all happen when it is meant to be! love all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love those pics!! Good luck - I know you will do the best thing for YOU! Can't wait for your next few updates!!
ReplyDeleteAww love these photos! Especially with the second one it's sooo hard to weight and your body seems so ready but yet they aren't here. The aches and pains are no joke! C was 5 days late, and we ended up inducing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Follow your heart my friend!
ReplyDeletePrayers that you feel better very soon
Love these photos. So much. I'm so excited to "meet" this little one no matter how or when she gets here.
ReplyDeleteI was induced at 39 weeks (due to size--he was already 9 lbs, 6 oz) with my 2nd baby and labor and delivery were easy. Bladder infections are so painful and can really take a lot out of you energy wise. Prayers for you mama!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are so cute! I totally feel ya on trying to figure out what to do. Induce or not induce? I hope you start feeling better though. It's no fun feeling bad at the end :(
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet photos! You know trust your mama gut. But for my 2cents. I was in a lot of discomfort before Callie was born (like the last 5 days) and just didn't feel right even thought I couldn't explain it and I no medical symptoms of anything. I convinced my OB to schedule an induction even thought nothing was "wrong" at the time. When we got to L&D stuff was wrong with me and it was the right decision to have the induction. Sometimes it's better to be "safe." You know your body and your family and what makes the most sense.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. I am sure you will make the right decision when it comes to eviction for little deuce. Maybe she will make the decision for you and just come on! Thinking of you friend!
ReplyDeleteThe waiting is SO HARD and the decisions are even harder. You'll make the right ones. Praying for you my friend!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you! Can't wait to hear that baby girl has arrived!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better! If you can stand the pain and want to keep baby cooking, go for it. I have a very low threshold for pain and would have evicted baby!!! LOL!!
