Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Yes I'm aware - that's why I said at risk for rapid onset - not that I have it. I have had a few of the other indicators at other times - and some that you didn't mention (pain on upper right side). Its the fact that the protein is always there and I have other symptoms but not simultaneously which go away EXCEPT for the high BP and undersized fetus (or low fluid which is also a symptom which is why they did another ultrasound) that they are classifying me as high risk for being one of those rapid onset cases.
Wasn't implying nor did I think the protein is dangerous for myself or baby - if it stays though they do want me to see a kidney doctor to see if there was a condition I had that was previously undiagnosed.
Did non stress test monitoring yesterday since wife is a week late now. Baby is fine. Still not dilated though. She started having semi painful contractions this morning and light bleeding so this may be the start of labor woohoo!

Light bleeding could be the mucus plug, which means she is starting to dilate! A week overdue, you guys must be at the edge of your seats for weeks now. Hopefully she progresses quickly. Good luck! Fingers crossed for an easy labor.
And yes, baby pics. I am living vicariously through all the pregnant ladies on the internet as I start having baby urges. Wtf though, I thought I was done with three. >.< If I could guarantee a boy I'd be all over that, but the thought of possibly having a 4th girl...

We're in the same situation, 3 girls, desperately wanted a boy but my wife had health issues during pregnancy that were getting progressively worse so she got a tubal ligation. Even though she's really young, the stuff was bad enough that the doctor we had told her she needed to have one. But a few months later she was telling me how she felt like she wanted another baby someday and she was angry the doctors talked her into that... total amnesia over the terrible shit that happened. With our luck though we would have another girl, then another, then another...
Well wife has been having contractions every 4 to 5 mins since 10am this morning.... still waiting around for them to worsen .. Dr said to just come in whenever we want it... still no broken water... figured we will wait a few more hours then maybe head in to see if we have progressed enough... she had an appointment Friday and was up to 3cm.. so hopefully tonight!

Good luck Lenaldo! Hope it all goes well and it doesn't go too rough on your wife.
My water never was able to break on its own even with hours and hours of contractions. Sometimes the doctor breaking it is what you need to finally get things progressed all the way. With my last one, I had very painful contractions for 12 hours (they were never completely regular though) before I finally gave up and went in. Doctor broke my water and baby was born within 30 minutes. I always thought water breaking was one of those early signs of labor everyone experiences but apparently not!

Success!! Baby is 7lbs 13oz and 19inches long.... went into the hospital around 10pm... baby was born just after530am... exhausted. My wife kept telling me to sleep but I assured her all my days of doing plane of hate and fear raids for 20 hours straight are finally paying off!!!

Hi
She went in on Tuesday for her 39 week check up and was induced later that day. She only ended up dilating to 6 cm by 10 a.m. Wednesday and the baby's heart rate was elevated and my wife spiked a fever, so they did an emergency c-section. Obviously not what we wanted or were expecting but all is well. 7 lbs 13 ounces, 21 inches for those keeping score at home!
Not dilated at all on Friday, but things moved quickly! By Saturday 5am she was at 2cm, then 2 hours later 8cm. Our baby girl was born a few hours later. She's healthy and doing great! 7 lb 11 oz 21 inches long.
