sugagrl143, fluid leakage.??? Hmm.... explain to me what this looks like pls.. Idk I have had more of a wetness feeling and its clear. no color to it or odor. The braxton hicks are stronger now, i would say more intense than 2 weeks ago (more intense over the last prob 3 days) harder, tighter and every once in a while cramping. I have hip pain and lower back pain but thats been a given for a month or so now. I had to preterm babies b4 out of the 3. so i know he is going to watch my carefully. (1st preterm baby was 33 weeks 2nd was a lil shy of 36 weeks.) I have an appointment on the 10th. not sure what they will be doing that day though.... Hopefully a sono....

Congrats JoAnn....get some rest mama and get ready for your big day! I'm so excited for you.!!
As for myself, I made a trip to the doc yesterday b/c I have been having back pain and fluid leaking. We are taking precautions now b/c of my history of pre term labor. I delivered my youngest at 33 weeks. He said my cervix is very soft but hasn't begn to dilate which is great. Baby is head down now and it's for sure a BOY!!!! I wasn't convinced at first u/s but I got to see for myself yesterday!

Well, I am dialated to a 1.5, head is at -2 station and my cervic is "soft and squishy" according to my OB. She wants to induce on 9/11. I have never had to be induced and frankly it scares me a little! I will be 38 weeks on 9/12. Anyone else been induced? I'd love to hear how it went. Since I cannot have an epidural, the pitocin contractions make me nervous! She said since this is baby #4 and I am already progressing on my own that it should only "take a whiff of pitocin" to get labor going and they could turn it off. Any advice/experiences would be greatly appreciated. It is just starting to sink in that this is in 9 days!!!!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well! I ahve been so busy the last few weeks I haven't had time to check in. My DH and I have been finishing the babies room and we seem to be on the road somewhere every weekend. My OB has set induction for 9/25 but could be latest 9/28 or anytime earlier if she decides to come before then. I have Doc appt on Thursday hopefully we cna get a weight on her at that time. I am doing weekly NST and seeing my OB every weekend from now till delivery. I am so excited yet so anxious, but overall feeling so BLESSED!

Hi everyone! I am in the homestretch, finally. I made it to the month I am due in - woohoo! My belly is HUGE. My BPP last Friday had Bryce weighing in at 6lbs9oz. They say they gain an ounce a day at this point, so he will be over 7 lbs by the time I hit 37 weeks (full term) on Saturday. Anytime after that he can make his grand debut! I go this afternoon to the OB, and I assume she will do a pelvic check to see if I have dialated and/or effaced any. I always had with my first 3 by now.
My 5 y/o DID have strep again and an ear infection. He still isn't 100% yet, but is much better. Fortunately, I haven't caught it. Life is staying so busy, I really need to slow down and have my bags for the hospital packed, just in case. It IS Labor Day weekend approaching afterall.
