How are you all feeling???
I am still working and it sucks because I can not get sleep at night. My thoughts take over at night and I just can't sleep. I know we are almost done but these days and nights are dragging for me. Maybe it is because I have had no labor symptoms. Either way I am so ready to meet him, I just hope he doesn't make me wait too much farther past his due date of June 27th!
Hang in there late June mommies. We will make it
Re: Late June Mommies
I'm a little tired, very cranky/impatient and my lower back and hips are killing me. I have been retaining so much water that my cankles look like tennis balls and I feel like a human cactus!
My last day of work was Friday, June 7th. I've been getting a lot done around the house, but if the baby is born after my EDD of June 23rd there is an unpaid lapse of time with how my disability claim pays out so that would really screw with my maternity leave plans.
Here's hoping this baby arrives NOW!
It really depends on the day now but I feel HUGE, tired and ready for baby to arrive like everyone else. Every new I'm in labor post gets me excited that maybe my time is here but each day passes and I"m still pregnant. I'm starting to feel like I've been pregnant forever but I still have 9 days until her DD.
So just trying to be patient here and hoping that the days starts to move a little faster.
my read shelf:
No signs of labor here either. I am still working. It depends what day it is if I sleep well or not. Some nights I sleep like the dead while others I am up all night. The up all night ones make for VERY cranky days.I am super swollen so that flip-flops cut into me now all the tiem.
I have resolved myself that DS isn't going to show up until July 5 or 6 since he doesn't seem to show any signs of coming out.
My friend made a good point to me about me potentially being late and neeing to be induced. She said "It's a (tiny) man. He is warm, comfortable and full. Do you really thing he is going anywhere any time soon without some serious motivation?"
If he shows up before July 5th I woud be suprised.
I'm so anxious and I'm not due until Sunday. At this point I'm my own problem just thinking about when, is this it, was that a contraction and what not. Only god knows......
Oh, thanks for the encouragement--I'm really needing it! Due on June 23/25 and still working.
REALLY HATE going every day because there's so much that needs doing at home. Hubby is hanging sheetrock in the nursery, so I'm trying to prepare a temporary place for little one in our room. This means rearranging tons of stuff. Plus the house needs a thorough cleaning. And everything takes me about 3 times as long because I can barely move and tire so easily.
Of course I'm in an eternally horrible mood: grouchy, weepy, moody, angry. Lovely. Then there are those moments when I'm overcome with terror about what is about to happen in our lives...
I am working until June 28th (I am due on June 30th) and feeling okay. My sleep sucks and has been for the past month. As long as I can get out of bed I am doing okay I just want to eat and drink something without getting dry mouth or heartburn. The nice part I remember is once my daughter came out my heartburn and dry mouth immediately disappeared so I am looking forward to that moment. TMI...Me and DH had sex last night and afterwards I felt so great and my aches and pains temporarily went away. I have been on pelvic rest for most of this pregnancy so sex has not been on our agenda I was taken off pelvic rest awhile ago but we just have not had the time with our energetic 3-year-old and my husband's travel schedule. He is staying close to home and not traveling until mid-August. It felt great to be close to him again and really did give me a shot of energy. I have felt so much more relaxed since last night.
Dilation checks start this week! Yay!! Looking forward to meeting my second little girl in a couple of weeks.
Nesting has kicked in so, I've been busy getting everything together. I work from home but I'm bored so I've just been enjoying time with my family. But, I'm ready for him to come! Tomorrow begins cervical checks do I'm ready for that! I thought id turn them down but I'm curious to see if all these contractions haven't been in vain lol
DH is on edge because he knows it could be any day now. He keeps watching me like I might explode any minute.
My norm has been that I sleep only 2 to 3 hours at a time and spend my days exhausted. But in these past three days, except for the increased nausea, I have felt weirdly good and am sleeping almost 6 to 8 hours a night. I'm still basically tired but not wiped out. I have random spurts of energy where I'm getting things done.
I hope these are good signs. We are as ready as we are going to be for baby girl to get here!
June 26th due date but fully expecting to go late especially after my doc appointment this morning. I'm closed and just barely starting to thin and baby is up high. I have started feeling more contractions especially at night, but that only started in the past three or four days.
Still working but, as of today, I am working exclusively from home unless some weird emergency forces me to go to the office.
I'm sleeping well and am generally pretty comfortable (no pressure or pain for the most part), which I think means I am in for the long haul...probably a July 4th-ish baby, but who knows. If baby is late, I'll work up until July 2nd.
Hang in there Momma! HUGS!
Not feeling great.
I have been experiencing this inner thigh pain that has severely limited my ability to do much of anything. I can't flip over in bed or get out of bed without a shooting pain. I also can't walk very far and the pressure in my pelvis is intense. My last day at work was Friday and I've been home with DD (almost 5) alone since yesterday and it's been hard. It's been kind of a free-for-all or her because I can barely take care of myself, let alone her.
I went overdue during my last pregnancy but DD wasn't situated on a nerve and I could walk, just very slowly.
Thanks for cheering me/us on. I needed it. I hate feeling helpless.
I can relate to this! All of his movements HURT! It's like he has razorblades on all of his appendages.
This exactly!
Ditto! Had to go to LD today because I was having double and blurred vision at lunch with lightheaded ness. Not quite sure what its from maybe dehydration or exhaustion. Gonna take it easy tonight
Due June 28th, and still working. I teach and the last day with our kids is next Tuesday the 25th, so I'm trying to make it through. Going to be doing half days the next couple days, and then our last three days are half days anyway. Very glad I decided to do that, because I'm tired, in pain, and getting cranky by afternoon (not so good for the kids).
Had my ob appointment today and I am 70% effaced and 1 cm, so I guess my body is preparing. Baby girl is also "very low" which explains all the pain in my cervix, right?
Sorry to all who are still waiting, especially those who are feeling so uncomfortable. Not too long now!

My dr appt today noted baby is engaged, I'm 90 effaced and 1cm dilated. I really want a sweep done to get the show on the road but my OBs fingers are too fat to fit in my cervix lol.
That's me today and I'm really whiny haha. Hoping all this discomfort is the start of things tho but probably not... Like all the other days ::mobile smiley::
holding on to that feeling...
