March 20 Due Date anyone?

adelems

@noodlienoodles I know. Thank you for the encouragement though. I think it's just because I feel like I'm dying lol and it could be as much as five more weeks of this! (If he decided to be really late God forbid) I'm super active, and an over achiever so being forced to "take it easy" is killer!! Haha

noodlienoodles

@adelems I'm sorry for the horribly cliche advice! I wanted to say something soothing but that's all my pregnancy brain could come up with. But really, I wish the best for you and I hope you can find some relief soon. I feel pretty much the same as you though. I bought myself some nice camomile bubble bath and then cried when I remembered how it's too hard for me to sit in and get out of the tub. Meh!

adelems

@noodlienoodles Hahahahahahahahahaha I wouldn't dare attempt to get in and out of a tub!! Lol I'm so sorry!

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.

Due March 19th and in the same boat as you. Not many BH contractions - unless I am oblivious to what they feel like. Has yet to drop and no real contractions from what I know. (FTM)

I'm in the same boat as several of you, FTM, due March 21st, seem to be having BH multiple times a day, but scared I wont know what real labor will feel like.  Haven't experienced any period-like pain, as some of you described.  As of this passed Saturday, less than 50% effaced and cervix still completely closed.  Starting to feel the anxious, "done" feeling.

I'm due March 23rd. I've been having contractions since Saturday night, but the doctor checked me today and my cervix is still completely closed. I'm so tired! I want Baby to come, but on the other hand I know that the more time he/she has the better. Good Luck everyone! We'll be there before you know it!

March 26th here. Haven't noticed too many BH yet, but the pelvic pain/pressure is definitely awful and my lower back hurts so bad I can barely walk! Tons of swelling in my feet/ankles.

I'm a FTM.. Baby Boy Due on the 19th
I haven't lost MP.. But have been having BH for the last 3weeks. I think I had my nesting phase when I was 35-36 weeks. Because I set up the entire nursery myself, I was offered help but rather done it myself. I'm very exhausted and anxious. I wake up and go to sleep everyday like maybe my water will break tomorrow
*fingers crossed* but nothing happens. So I'm impatiently waiting for my little guy. Oh yea has anybody experienced more heart burn, ugh

My DD is March 19th!  Really no complaints besides some cervical pain and being wide awake at 3am due to our baby girl getting her kickboxing on!  LOL  Best of luck to you all!

I'm due the 19th. I haven't really felt any different either... I get tired easier but that's about it. I don't have any pressure down there and no changes in any discharge. I'm still going to work up til my due date (or after) since I work at the hospital where I'm delivering. The work schedule just came out for after my due date and I'm not on there anymore however emailed the boss and said don't take me off til I deliver since my office will let me go a week over. I really don't want to use my time just sitting at home especially since I feel like I might go over for how I've been feeling.

Just had an ultrasound done since I fell (again ) this time on ice. They said the baby is roughly 8lbs. I hope he doesn't get too much bigger! Thankfully he was okay unlike me with cuts and bruises. * side note..I swear I'm not leaving the house until he is born since I obviously don't know how to stay on my feet since this is the 4th fall in 2 months*

Baby is hitting every nerve possible down below making for some unpleasant shooting pains down there.

ju123

This has been my biggest fear!
To fall on the ice
Glad things are good though!

asmoley

Anyone due on the 20th waiting impatiently like me or already had your LO? Going a little crazy today with the wait and just thought I would check in!

ju123

@asmoley
I am for sure!!!! I made the mistake of putting in my head that the baby would come before due date lol

Now I'm dealing with the anxiety of uncertainty and waiting game lol
:-??

asmoley

Thank goodness I'm not alone! I feel like everyone else has had their LO and I did the same thing thinking he would come earlier but no such luck so far. Good luck!

adelems

March 22nd here. With my first I was 3 days past my due date and MAN was I so annoyed haha. I'm hoping this one doesn't decide to be TOO late. @asmoley

Streed1

I am due March 24th. Last week I was dilated at 1 and 95% effaced, still nothing! I have had horrible period like cramps for weeks and am just miserable. I can't sleep at night and that doesn't help. I am a FTM and scared of labor but really can't wait to get it over and meet my son.

myjessesgirl

Due 3/15. Finished nesting and have had the worst nausea and heartburn for the last three days. I feel like I'm back in the first trimester and not able to eat! And, of course, unable to sleep past 4:30. I'm 1-2 cm, 80% effaced as of last week and get checked again today. My contractions have been pretty steady since yesterday evening, but I've had them since 32 weeks and I'm scared I don't know what the real thing will feel like as a FTM! So I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'm really just hoping my water will break very obviously as I feel like pain is such a subjective way to measure contractions. After preterm labor being stopped three times, I'm glad she did not come early, but I'm also dying to see her finally and hope she doesn't wait until well after her due date!

YoungDuo

So I'm due 3/19. At my 39 week appt yesterday my BP was sky high for the 2nd week in a row so baby and I were monitored for 3 hours. They were able to get my BP down but I was literally laying there for 3 hours which is why it came down enough to release me. I'm getting induced tomorrow at exactly 39 weeks bc of my BP! I'm very excited and nervous about the whole L&D process but we can't wait to meet our little man!!!

ju123

@YoungDuo
Wow good luck!!!

YoungDuo

@ju123 thank you! It was a little bit of a shock but bc of the stress my heart is going through with the high BP, that is why. And they checked me yesterday as well and I'm 3 cm and 75% which helps as well

AEmily

@YoungDuo what was your BP? I'm 38 weeks and being monitored right now in L&D because of high BP

YoungDuo

@AEmily at my 38 week appt (I was 37+5) it was 151/90 and the second time it was 143/83. They did blood work and a 24 hour urine sample but everything came back normal. Yesterday was my 39 week appt (I was 38+5) and it was 153/82 and then 166/102. They said anytime the bottom number is over 100, that is cause for induction. My legs, ankles and feet are swollen to the point I can barely walk which is most likely what is causing my BP to be so high.

After my monitoring, they got my BP down within normal range but it was on the higher end of normal. Since my blood work and urine came back normal again yesterday and I still don't have pre-e, they are choosing to induce me bc they deemed me with gestational hypertension.

I hope everything is going well for you and your BP comes down!

MangomamaFL

Edd on the 20th. Did you know there will be a solar eclipse on March 20?

TwinsCitiesMomma

Due tomorrow, Friday the 13th! 2 cm dilated and about 90% effaced as of yesterday. Inconsistent tiny contractions, lightening crotch and hardening of the stomach for the last 2 weeks. Started leave yesterday so I'm able to relax- going for a med free birth. The really annoying thing is people texting, calling me on when is the baby going to come.

I think by now it's reasonable to suggest that most everyone knows an almost 10 mo pregnant lady gets sick and tired of being asked, "Are you still pregnant?" Or "how are you feeling?"

Why do ppl still ask??!!!!

ju123

@MangomamaFL
I didn't know but does this affect the baby at all???


My due date is March 20 but I'm thinking this baby is in no rush to come out lol
I have literally 0 signs of real labour :-/

Zoey1309

Unless baby comes sooner, I'm scheduled for an induction on the 20th (due the 19th)! As of yesterday, I'm 50% effaced and 1.5 cm dialated. Baby has been very low for weeks and only having a few contractions a day.

BridgettRR

My due date is March 20th . I'm a FTM, haven't really had any labor symptoms. I think the BUT have gotten stronger but that's about it.

adelems

With my first I had zero signs of labor besides dilating and thinning. No contractions plug nothing. Then bam. First contraction hit hard randomly late morning and baby was born 5 hours later. So... I'm thinking it'll probably be that way again , we shall see!

ju123

@adelems

I Hope its like that with me lol
but i am not even dialating so ... We shall see!

asmoley

Just checking in with the March 20th due dates! Wanted to see how many of us are still waiting at 2 days after our due date and how many have had their LO's!

adelems

I'm due today. The 22nd . No baby yet. Oh well. It'll happen eventually!

kalahgurl

I'm due the 25th... I believe that I will have her by then... midwife appointment tomorrow. All the signs are there and growing... but man I'm impatient. She will come when she comes...

Amy and Jay

I was due the 19th but I'm still pregnant. I will be induced at 41 weeks if she doesn't come first.

jessicaerins

I was due March 20 but no baby yet... Thinking maybe she's just not ready yet. Trying to stay distracted but playing the waiting game is tough!

sarasicking

I was due March 20th. No baby yet. I am 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced. I had some contractions last weekend but they didn't go anywhere and not much since then. I am scheduled to be admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night where they will insert Cervidil to soften my cervix. Thursday morning, I will get Pitocin and the doctor will break my water. I should have my baby girl that day! I still hope she comes before then but I'm happy to have an end date in mind too. 

chels0815

I was due March 20, too! No sign of baby... Headed to the doctor in the morning, hoping to have some kind of a plan made!! Today has been rough as far as feeling like its never going to end... Come on out March 20 babies!!!

brwneyedbaby88

I'm also still waiting as a FTM, due March 20. I'm anxiously awaiting baby girl arrival...I know it's only a few days over but I think I had it in my mind she'd be here by now. No real contractions that I know of, but feeling more crampiness and hoping that will turn into something. Not looking forward to going to the docs Tues if she still hasn't arrived. I know it's just a stress test & ultrasound but I'm just ready to have her here and stop talking about it haha. Oh well, glad to see I'm not the only one waiting!!
