After failed applications of prostaglandin gel (well, they applied it fine, it did nothing), the doc recommended we go home and do the natural prostaglandin application.<BR/><BR/>Nothin' to get one in the mood more than being two weeks overdue, after a week and a half of in and out of the hospital and getting to know every nurse that worked there, labor, very personal exams, and then a doctor's prescription for "fun". Lol!<BR/><BR/>It didn't help, either.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1163181662442619182006-11-10T13:01:00.000-05:002006-11-10T13:01:00.000-05:00Wow!

I wonder if they have told their older children yet?<BR/><BR/>I bascially knew from the minute the little spermies got with the anxious egg that I was pg with all 3 of mine. I loved being pg, I'm strange I know. I think that's why I really enjoy being an OB nurse now. <BR/><BR/>You'll have to update us when she delivers!Brooke (CrazyRN)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11882528566199274506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1163125235457011722006-11-09T21:20:00.000-05:002006-11-09T21:20:00.000-05:00Oops, forgot to post the update!

It is a no go for delivery during the homecoming (too early), it is more likely a little closer to Christmas.

Perhaps I'll be lucky enough to be pregnant agaian, and hopefully it won't be so miserable.<BR/><BR/>sarebear~ Sounds like you had a rough time! Sometimes inductions just don't work. After everything you've been through, a scheduled section will probably feel like a walk in the park! <BR/><BR/>anne~ Hi! Geez, 46 and 51! Crazy! So far everything is going well, and I will see her next week.<BR/><BR/>FD~ L-O-frigging-L! You made my night! Thank you.<BR/><BR/>wthit~ Hello and welcome! Apparently, it is possible to make it all the way to labor and not know you are pregnant. <BR/><BR/>How? I have no idea. I do know that when I was pregnant, I couldn't really tell definite fetal movements until almost my 24th week (anterior placenta). I *knew* I was pregnant, and I still wasn't sure, so it follows if one were 40-ish and pregnancy wasn't on the radar how one could rationalize away the symptoms. Thanks for reading!<BR/><BR/>medstudentitis~ I know, but what a blessing for them. Don't worry, I'm not stopping the blog...just drowning in work! :)<BR/><BR/>anon~ It is totally wild, I know. Their adult children are just in awe. Luckily, they are viewing it as a blessing, as well.<BR/><BR/>midwife with a knife~ Now that is just pure insanity...twins? Over 50? Ack. I feel way too old to raise multiples and I am only 31!

I just don't want to miss it though like this woman has. I love knowing when my baby kicks and feeling the little one grow. I was actually disappointed when I had been trying to feel the fundal height at night myself, and thought it was low and maybe something was wrong, and the doctor found it way above my pubic bone. I wanted to know everything about my pregnancy, feel every moment. I'm a pregnancy junkie! Maybe I'll get to do it again.Jawndoejahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335811975587549394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1162880794862299472006-11-07T01:26:00.000-05:002006-11-07T01:26:00.000-05:00Wow, it really sounds like it!It'd be very shockin...Wow, it really sounds like it!<BR/><BR/>It'd be very shocking, and hard to come to terms with, but then also a happy and joyful thing, once emotional acceptance and adjustment were farther along . . .<BR/><BR/>That would be awesome, during the surprise visit, if circumstances, health, how far along, etc., allow, as well as whatever is different because of confabulated details.<BR/><BR/>Great story! Me, I didn't go into labor no matter what they did to me, so I suspect that my body just doesn't. Scheduling it is better than 36 hours of three separate failed inductions in the second overdue week . . . along with several hours at the last time of inept nurses sliding the thingie in and out of my veins trying to get a good one (ugh, hurt like the labor almost lol, pitocin induced but no progress ever).''Anyway. I'm all for scheduling next time instead of all the crud we went thru, plus it'd be better for the baby.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1162956110589287882006-11-07T22:21:00.000-05:002006-11-07T22:21:00.000-05:00Oh, wow.

Turns out he was the dad and was 56, his wife was 51 and their son had been born when they were 46 & 51 with two teenage daughter 13 & 15. And I'd thought I was old having my last at 40.
