March 20 Due Date anyone?

ju123

Hi everyone
My due date is March 20 so I was just wondering if anyone has the same DD just for the fun of knowing the patterns of pre labour or L&D or any other experiences or expectations :x

YoungDuo

I'm March 19 I've been experiencing contractions off and on since yesterday--went to L&D yesterday bc baby wasn't moving but he was being stubborn and after an hour of monitoring (and a yummy red Popsicle) he finally started moving where I could feel him. Midwife and dr could tell he was moving based on his heart rate. I'm excited to meet my little man soon!

AshleyAllen87

We are expecting our first LO on March 20! Not sure about you but I have been having very strong BH lately as well as very intense pelvic pressure (today I've only been able to cope laying down, it kills sitting up right). We're ready for him to make his appearance now lol

ju123

@YoungDuo
Hey nice! I also heard that they move less due to the lack of space they have now, I have felt quite a decrease in movements too...

How are your contractions feeling now?

ju123

Hey @AshleyAllen87
I feel the same way! Lots of pressure but it hurts more during the night so no sleep for me for the past 3 nights, brutal!
I'm ready for the arrival as well
My BH are all over the place lol

AshleyAllen87

Ya sleep is a thing of the past at this point lol I guess it's just prep for when he's actually here...it's frustrating bc my BH obviously get better when I move around, but my hips hurt so much when I sit up or walk around that I feel it's a lose lose situation lol

I feel guilty saying I'm more then "done" and wish he would come sooner then later, but I really am just so tired/sore/uncomfortable that im not finding it to be fun being prego anymore

asmoley

I'm also due March 20 with our first LO and am experiencing pretty much the same thing. Lots of pressure. BH all day. Went to the dr Friday and found out that I'm 1cm dilated, but no other changes this weekend so just waiting as patiently as I can! Anyone else dealing with a ton of swelling in hands and feet?

ju123

@asmoley
I'm often swollen but it diminishes and comes back, I'm thinking that I'm just not even more swollen because I live in Canada and it's really freezing here but I can be wrong...

My doctor hasn't checked my cervix yet I'm not sure why but I'm kinda glad as I hate being touched down there lol particularly now it's so tender and sore...

YoungDuo

@ju123 I know they usually don't move as much but I had gotten concerned because it had been almost a whole day since I had felt him move which is why I was alarmed. Contractions are still off and on, I guess my body is just prepping me for what's ahead

AshleyAllen87

Where abouts in Canada do you live? My hubby and I live in Ontario, in a small town about an hours north of Oakville.

I haven't had any swelling so far thank goodness. My OB hasn't checked to see if I'm dialated yet. Unless there is a medical reason, he won't check until I'm past 38 weeks.

sdion27

Due March 19th with #2. Tons of pressure, hands and feels are swollen on and off most of the day. I've had a few Braxton hicks. He's still moving around like crazy which puts a lot of pressure on my body and ribs! Ouch!! I was induced with #1 but my water broke on its own so at least I know what it feel like. Waiting impatiently...

MrsRichey27

I'm due on March 21st! All of my friends have already had their babies and it is driving me crazy seeing all their cute babies, but not yet getting to meet mine lol. I know I shouldn't rush him but I can't wait to see his face and hold him  

 I'm a FTM so I'm worried I won't know real labor when it hits me! 

ju123

@AshleyAllen87
Hey we are so close I live in Ottawa!
It's being brutal this winter and being pregnant I have been hibernating lol
Maybe here in Canada they don't check us before 38 w but I'm glad

As I stated I'm not looking forward to hahah

ju123

@sdion27
How many weeks were you when you were in induced?

ju123

@MrsRichey27
I'm a STM but my first was a scheduled c section so it's like being my first time too waiting to go into labour

Very anxious

sdion27

@ju123 I was 38w2d and induced due to pre-e. Luckily all is good this time around so I'm hoping that I wont have to be induced although it was kinda nice knowing when and the time etc.

ju123

Oh I completely understand! The waiting game kills us lol

Good thing no pre e this time though

asmoley

They only check me for dilation because I've been having contractions since 29 weeks. I know what everyone means by worrying about what labor will really feel like! I've been having contractions for so long that I have no idea if I'll know the difference!

Amy and Jay

I'm due 3/19 with dd #3

Amy and Jay

For some reason it cut off the rest of what I wrote...I've been having lots of BH and what feels like menstrual cramps off and on for the last few days. I'm hoping this is my body kicking things into gear. My last baby was 9 days late so I'm trying to not get my hopes up...

adelems

March 22nd here! First baby was three days late, midwife keeps telling me this one may come early but I'm not holding my breath.

YJauregui

My due date is March 20th and I've been getting frequent BH and a few actual contractions. Midwife says our little man is head down and ready to go it's just a matter of when he will decide to make his appearance:)

Zoey1309

Also due on the 19th. I've been having several contractions a day for a couple weeks now. Baby is extremely low (has been for weeks) and my cervix has thinned a good bit. My OB said she wasn't sure how dialated I was because my cervix was high and she could barely reach it. She hinted that she didn't think I would make it to my due date. DS came 2 days after his due date. I hope she comes soon as I am completely miserable!

Christina80xoxo

I'm due on the 15th, I'm just getting a little bit of period-like cramping. Not much to write home about. I'm so ready too

lauradanielle

I'm also due on March 20th. I haven't had any signs of labor. I haven't even had many BH contractions. I'm starting to feel like he's going to come later than my due date by far. Either that or I'm just extremely lucky to not be having any problems like everyone else.

StowerBaby

I'm due the 20th too! I feel like baby is lower and some period type pain last night but no real signs yet. I have terrible lower back pain when I roll or get out of bed I think from pelvis loosening.

brita7869

I'm due March 20th with my 1st! Definitely feeling the BH contractions. Yest. And today I noticed more pain/pressure in my back and pelvis. He has been less active the past few days but since I'm feeling him move I haven't gotten too worried yet. It's driving me crazy though bc he keeps hitting nerves down there and sends shooting pain/tingling through the lady parts haha. Had a cervical exam last appt. But doctor never mentioned dilation or anything. Another appt. Tuesday so we shall see if any changes.

jacquie1226

DD 25th. Started swelling in hands and feet about a week ago. The Dr. Said it was normal but I find it very incomfortable now to hold things like a pen or my phone. My fingers tingle. My legs and feet are starting to swell too. Doc says all normal but still the last month isnt as fun and enjoyable as the other month of prrgnancy. Ready for the arrival.

kylie6969

FTM here and due March 18. I go to dr this am. As of last Monday, no dilation and he's way high still. I can second the no sleep thing and my DS moves like crazy 90% of the day. I hope this means he's just a little thing only issue I have is lower back pain especially when I'm on my feet at work which will be a lot this week since it's my last week of wotk before he comes... I absolutely love being pregnant. Took me 20 years to get here and I'm enjoying every moment even the painful ones. Lol. Good luck to all you March mommies!

kfatith0582

Im due march 22nd. I get BH everyday almost. My cervix opened at 28 weeks so was on bedrest up until now. Last monday i was between two and three cm. I go in to the dr today. I was pretty active this week so we will see if that changed anything. Doctor already thinks he will be here sooner that my DD. As long as he is healthy im perfectly fine with that. Im a FTM and the suspense of it all is driving me insane. I cant wait.

ju123

Nice everyone!
I have been very lazy lately no nesting instinct has kicked yet, maybe because of the lack of sleep

I look at the stuff I have to organise and I feel like I'm not ready at all lol

Anyone there nesting yet???? #-o

I'm finished nesting! Sorry to rub it in, but I'm so thankful that I got all of this down already. Now hubby is nesting... It's funny to see him rush around prepping the house for baby.

YoungDuo

I'm with @noodlienoodles, I have finished nesting for the most part! I am just trying to keep the house clean. It's driving me crazy because my feet and ankles decided to swell up decently on Friday so it is super uncomfortable to be on my feet for more than about 10-15 min at a time.

I've still been having contractions that are too strong to be BH but aren't close enough to be the real deal so I'm just waiting as patiently as possible. I go to see midwife tomorrow for 38 week appt so we will see what she says then. Like a lot of the other moms, I want him to cook as long as he needs/wants to but I am ready to comfortable again and snuggle with my little man

ju123

@noodlienoodles & @YoungDuo

Oh so jealous, when is this going to happen for me lol

Well, I think I'm finished because I'm just so anxious/nervous and baby is like the only thing I think about!

MaryEma

Im due on 14th been getting hell of alot of pain to strong to be BH but there not that regular so cant be real,but ive also had really bad bowel movements (runs) for past four days anything i eat within 5mins im running to toilet sorry for tmi just hope its my time soon as cant cope with pain like this

jenandcris

I'm a FTM due on the 25th and there's not much I can complain about. I've felt intermittent contractions, but definitely not enough to worry or call the doctor; I haven't had much of any swelling; RLS was a bitch for a week but is no longer an issue; but hell, this pelvic pain is a pain in my ass! I can't walk more than a few steps and have been on modified bed rest since before Thanksgiving.

dk1154

My baby boy is due March 20th!!! Lots of Braxton Hicks fun lately, and swelling galore. On my second week of maternity leave, and I have everything set up and ready to go for little one (just waiting for the crib to arrive!) so I have plenty of time to rest now!

sarasicking

I am due March 20 with my first baby. I have had some BH but they arent too intense yet. I just experience a lot of pain at night when I turn over in bed. It makes it hard to sleep. At my 37 week Dr. apt I wasnt dilated yet and the doc said she was still up there a ways. If I am already feeling this much pressure and pain, I'm a little nervous what it's going to be like when she drops more!

I'll start off my weekend in full nesting mode and want to get all of these projects done and rooms cleaned and then that last about 45 min before my back starts hurting or I get too tired haha. During the week, I'm too tired after work to do much. So it's been a slow process, but I'm getting there.

adelems

I'm a hyper planner. So got all that nesting stuff done haha. Now I'm just trying to keep the house clean (like someone else mentioned) and trying to stay upbeat .. Been struggling with feeling down

Ugh - I'm sorry you're feeling down! Just keep in mind that this state is only temporary.
