ktgrok Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm 38 weeks 3 days. And as much as I'm uncomfortable, etc, I am now ordering her to stay put. My doula has the flu! And I was late getting my TDaP shot, so just got it today, and that takes up to two weeks to be effective at passing on immunity. And the border collie has a big hot spot I had to shave today and will need medicating. And the cleaning lady is out of town next week. And so in general, this lady needs to stay put for a bit longer! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Wait, what? How can you be that far along already? It seems like yesterday when you announced you were pregnant. Time sure does fly (at least it does when I'm not the pregnant one). Here's to everything settling down for you and a baby who decides to wait. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I have to congratulate you on your timing. Even if little miss waits a full two weeks, she not going to drag you into the hottest weather still carrying. That's a relief! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne in CA Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 LOL, you are tempting fate with this kind of talk! I also can't believe you are this close! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Yup, tempting fate. You've done it now. You know what is going to happen - either she will be early or you will have to be induced. :laugh: Just please avoid the NICU...

You know what is going to happen - either she will be early or you will have to be induced. :laugh: Just please avoid the NICU... Amen! We do have an excellent women and children's hospital here...two actually. But I plan to avoid them! Last two babies were 41 weeks 5 days, so probably not early, although you never know! Never been induced, and I'm a VBAC so hoping now, though the one hospital will do a foley bulb induction on a VBAC so that is good news. I'm going to start bio physical profiles next week (39 weeks) for my own sanity and due to my age (almost 41). Right now, no signs of impending labor, but I probably should mop my floors and such just in case, lol. SaveSave 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 On my due date with number 3, both my kids came down with pinkeye, as did I. I feel like there were a few other ridiculous things that happened as well, but nothing is coming to mind. Anyway, she was good and stayed in 8 more days until the pink eye epidemic had passed.

Time sure does fly (at least it does when I'm not the pregnant one). Here's to everything settling down for you and a baby who decides to wait. Exactly what I was thinking! Wow time flies. Here's hoping she stays put a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofgirls Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Please remember that even if she does not have symptoms in a few days the CDC website says she is still contagious for 14 days - I honestly would not let her near my little one for at least two weeks after her fever is gone!

Agreed. I looked it up first thing! So baby has to sit tight that long, which would also be when my Tdap vaccine is most effective, so win win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
