The reality of the Dec 13 Mamas

amberpro

I had an appointment today and I'm pretty much 0% dilated, 0% effaced. However, she can feel the head, so baby's dropping & I don't want to be lulled into a false sense of security by these 0/0 numbers. The things I have learned from this BMB...

---------

So true . I was 0/0 on a Thursday afternoon and had a baby sat morning. I have a friend at work who said she walked around at a 3 for 2 weeks with her first.

I'll still let my dr do cervical checks, though. I'm just as nosy about my vag as I am about everything else.

I apologize if I screwed up trimming the quote tree on mobile...

Eta: supposed to be quoting @esf60, sigh.

I'll be 37 weeks on Friday and my boys were born at 37 and 38 weeks. The last week I have had cramping and more contractions. I have been nesting all day. I can't stop the cleaning. Thankfully all the labor posts made dh panic because he has been cleaning all morning and finishing up last minute projects.

I am petrified and excited. My reality hit yesterday when a friend with my same due date gave birth on Sunday! Yikes!

Even more of a reason not to believe the numbers! This actually makes me more excited, that it could be any damn day, regardless of how dilated/effaced you are!

I'm due December 4th. Have everything ready so that has just made me super anxious/excited. I feel like its going to be forever before he gets here but he will be here before I know it! I'm 0/0 as of last tuesday but I had what I think was contractions last night so we shall see what the doc has to say thursday!

Considering that half our board is having November babies and my induction date is 11/22, it's definitely hit. I'm scared, H is excited.

I'm being induced that day too!

I'm just hoping by the time my kid comes out y'all aren't too annoyed with the birth posts yet. Due 12/30 and expecting to be later than that. I can just imagine everyone's reaction "oh god another one??? I thought this board was done! *half-hearted clapping and obligatory congrats* can we move on now? My kid is already rolling over."

What time are you heading in? I'm going at 715 am but get to eat a light breakfast. Whoo hoo

Ah to not be pregnant anymore I am getting more excited as we get closer and so jealous of everyone with adorable little squishes to hold already. But I'm also feeling a little selfish and am not ready to share him and all his cuteness yet...it's a weird feeling

This! We'll probably have ours in Jan and by then everyone will be sick of hearing about another birth!

Reality is definitely setting in! I go in 2 weeks for my 36 week appt & u/s and then I feel like its game on from there! Even though we are 2nd time parents, hubby is starting to freak out a little...
