My doctor won’t induce me and won’t let me go past my due date (Thursday). I’m barely 1 cm, very high and very thick. My doctor was able to strip my membrane somehow but said most other doctors wouldn’t consider me even 1 cm. C/S is inevitable I think.
DS1 has been a terror lately. Tonight he threw a toy bottle at my face and I cried. A lot. Is it normal to resent your kid as you get closer to delivering your second?
We are in tantrum city too. Nightmare. Also he’s not sleeping the whole way through the night anymore which is fun 7 weeks before my due date.
I feel like DH isn’t supportive enough of my leaving my job to stay home. But it’s impossible. I’m in the office two days. I have to try and get another 6-8 hours from home the other three. I’m home with DS with no childcare. To get things done, I’m working from when I put him down until 11pm. OR my boss will get me on a call or ask me to do something in the middle of the day and I have to try and do it while keeping him safe. Today he fell while I was on a call and whacked his head on the carpet. It just cemented that this isn’t possible. And neither one of us wants to do daycare right now. We don’t need the money of me working. I just wish he was more outwardly supportive.
Also we want to move and he’s just sitting on it. I found a great house. Two days later it’s under contract. We looked at a lot SIX WEEKS ago and he hasn’t made a decision either way on it for a new build. We’ll never get a house in this market if he doesn’t care to look or actually make a decision.
Because I had a c/s with DS and I guess the drugs can cause uterine rupture. There is 1 doctor in my practice who will do it, but she’s on vacation this week.

Will they do non-medication inductions? Foley bulb, nipple stim....

They would do some things like break my water, Foley bulb, and low doses of pitocin if things looked favorable. Unfortunately, things don’t look too favorable.
My baby will not nap. She was on two naps a day. All of a sudden, none unless it’s like 3:30 which at that point is too late for a nap. It’s absolutely killing me.
icedcoffee have you tried any natural induction things like pumping? I mean I tried them all and nothing helped me lol but they have to help someone!
I haven’t tried pumping but I’ve tried yoga ball, walks, sex, red raspberry leaf tea, eggplant parm, spicy food. Nothing!
Ds2 starts preschool tomorrow. So of course he has some sort of upper respiratory infection. And I have events for the board I’m on tomorrow and Wednesday this week. He was seriously healthy alllllll summer. Kids man. He should be ok to go tomorrow but seriously the worst timing.

did you dilate during your previous pregnancy? are they insisting on not letting you go past your due date?
I did a vbac for #2 and #3 and while my provider wouldn't do cytotec, they were still open to other options, should that have been necessary. But I also went past my due date with #3.

Add your own.
What about Cervadil? I was barely 1 cm at 41 weeks and my dr gave me Cervadil (a little string they stick inside your cervix) and a few hours later labor started.
C started kindergarten today. If I hear one more person call it “kind-ee-garden” I’m going to lose my fucking mind.
Omg my parents both do this too. Also "warsh", "Mondee" etc. It's the worst lol.
Speaking of parents, mine are so obsessed with DD's first day tomorrow that I half expect them to show up at the school to see her off. My mom has read the school handbook cover to cover online I'm pretty sure. I mean, I appreciate them being involved grandparents but damn. You already raised your kids, just relax and let me raise mine.
Omg the 2 hours before bedtime is fucking chaos and I hate it. I have no idea how I’m supposed to continue doing it on my own 3 nights a week. The big kids havw been screwing around in their room for 30 minutes even though they are overtired. Baby is fussy and won’t settle down.

At the beginning of summer, DD's school sent out the supply list for this coming year. A couple weeks ago, I took DD to do all her back to school shopping. Today, I got an email from the school, talking about the schedule for the first week of class. It also included a copy of the supply list....... It's a completely different list. Different quantities, different sizes, different supplies altogether. Both copies of the list have all the grades' lists, from K to 5th grade. Each grade is different from the 1st version to the 2nd version. Guess I'm doing a second round of back to school shopping.

No DS1 was breech so I never went into labor with him. They’re insisting I not go past my due date because of gestational diabetes this time even though it’s been well controlled the whole time. I’m basically just a mess. LOL

icedcoffee I wasn’t even a real 1cm the morning of my apt one day short of 40 weeks. We scheduled my induction for that evening and when I went in they said I was in labor. Sending labor vibes your way.
Let me beat the dead horse some more, I’m so upset about not losing weight and the way I look. I am not looking forward to going back to work at all and the more I talk to my co-workers the less I want to return, but I have to😢.
I’m jealous (not in a mean way) of the people whose babies sleep through the night. Mine doesn’t and as the night progresses he wakes up more often. And my wrist now hurts too. I think I need a brace.

Hugs and commiseration. I can not wait till the day the kids all can get themselves to bed and sleep in.

You're going to be fine. I promise. You've made it worse by delaying it and not figuring it out on your own. But it will get better.
Do whatever you need to do to get everyone to bed.
Options: -Let the kids dick around in their room. They *will* fall asleep eventually. -Take the baby and nurse him in their room while you supervise them. Sit on the floor, in the dark, if you have to. -Let them watch a movie until the baby calms enough that you can put the older two to bed.

Anecdote! I had the slow “induction” for my vbac and it worked! I was maybe 1cm when I had to deliver due to low fluid. They let me attempt vbac before going to CS. They stripped membranes and had me walk for a couple of hours. I did make enough progress that they let me keep going. Basically doing that. After several hours they started the lowest dose of pitocin. They made me stay in bed to monitor the baby so I couldn’t even keep walking to encourage progress after that. It took like 12-14 hours before they got me up to a decent level of pitocin, just slowwwwwwly increasing based on progress and how the baby responded. It was about 18 hours later before I was ready to push, but it did happen!
Hopefully they give you a chance to show any sort of slow progress! GL!
Ugh, icedcoffee, I’m sorry. I think pumping is worth a shot, too. I’m pretty sure that’s what sent me into labor with DS (but I was 39+5, so I can’t be sure...I just went into labor a few hours after trying).
My complaint is my formerly chill DD is starting to become fuss-bucket and I’m not here for it. Also DS has starting telling us “I’m scared” whenever we ask him to do something he doesn’t want to do. Like I’ll ask him to throw something away and he’ll say “I scared of the garbage.” LIES.
My mom is sort of appalled at my dirty house. She offered to come clean it. I begrudgingly accepted because while I do not want to be around her, I need help.
We said Monday. Then she changed to Thursday. Then today she decided she wanted to visit but not clean. And no to Thursday.
So now I had to see her AND my house is still dirty. And no mention of why.

I would love to attempt this! Unfortunately, I think I might have picked the wrong practice. My doctor today said we’d need 48 hours of call doctors (so 2) that support this in order to attempt. She said she supports it but she’s not on call this week and the other doctor who supports it is on vacation. It sucks that it comes down to that.
My 6 year old swallowed a penny today. My children are like goats and put pretty much anything they can get their hands on in their mouths. I thought the big one was past this stage, but apparently not.
icedcoffee I was 0 cm dilated when my water broke. Pitocin is hell, but I avoided a c section!
My complaint is my 3 year old WILL NOT stay in her bed. I’m 34 weeks. I neeeeeeeeed my sleep, but she inevitably comes to our bed around 2 am and sleep is done for the night. Ugh.
