37 weeks

mistyjewel88

How are you feeling at 37 weeks? Any signs of labor? Feel baby move more or less? Contractions?

I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow. No signs of labor or contractions thankfully. Want baby to stay in a bit longer. Have a long list of things to get done before he gets here. He's been moving more and can be pretty uncomfortable. Crazy to think some of us will have our babies in a couple weeks.

Is this your 1st baby?

I'm 37 weeks today and so ready for her to be here!  The anticipation is killing me!!  As long as I could guarantee she'd be healthy and happy, I'd take her out right now if I could.  I've been having BH off and on for the last couple of weeks, some days constant and others just a few.  She's still moving a good amount and I can tell she's running out of room in there.  I'm only 5' so there isn't much space there to begin with.  I wish I could fast forward 3 weeks from now...

How are your BH? Do they hurt at all?

This I my first, 37 weeks tomorrow. I've only felt a couple BH this whole time but I hope we are getting close. I'm exhausted and have been so emotional lately.

With my first I don't remember feeling any so no worries you should be done soon With this one I have had them since 26 weeks and now they have got to the point of I'm not sure I will no when I go into labor. Doc on the 15th hopefully some progress has been made.

I do want to say congrats ladies. Either we have or will soon hit the 37 week milestone! Doctors will no longer try to stop labor and in less then a month we will all be meeting our beautiful babies.....If they do not stay in longer. I have posted my eviction notice for my little boy lol.

This is my third. Excited but anxious about going from 2 to 3. Think this will be the biggest transition.
Never experienced BH with my first two but I've had a couple here and there with this one.

37 weeks! So sleepy! I don't remember being this tired with my first. I was actually pretty energized and excited to meet baby. This time, I'm just sooooo sleepy. Also, been feeling a lot of movement and just have this sense that one day he's gonna kick/punch so hard he'll break my water. My water broke with my first so we'll see. I've been having this feeling he may come in the next 48-72 hours, but in a perfect world he'd wait until maybe 38 weeks? Maybe a little after that? DD came a week early and that was perfect for me. And it's not like giving birth will relieve the sleepiness, haha, so might as well keep cookin him!

I have been thinking mine will be making his arrival soon too. He is already 2 pounds more than my daughter was so as long as he is healthy he may come now lol. Your lucky that your water broke. It would be nice to at least get a little heads up on when baby will come other than trying to guess if its real labor or not.

Ya I'm super nervous I won't know when real labor begins if my water doesn't break! I've been having STRONG bh contrax since 24 weeks! THe OB actually witnessed them and commented that she was surprised I wasn't having preterm labor bc they were so strong. So now I'm terrified I'm gonna be sitting in my living room waiting for them to go away and then all the sudden a head is gonna pop out! 

lol

the crazy ridiculous worries aren't just for FTMs

I am right there with you. I have been having contractions like crazy and now a low back ache. Hubby keeps asking if I want to go to the doc but honestly I don't no. Guess just see if we notice any other changes....Good luck.

Ugh, so uncomfortable! Baby is still moving, but it's starting to hurt down there! Hoping that's just my cervix getting thinned out and ready to go. Having occasional contractions, which I don't remember from last time but I take as a good sign, since we had trouble getting my contractions strong enough after my water broke last time. Achy back, achy hips. Tried doing some stretching to help...now I have sore leg muscles, too!
I am ready for this kid to get out as soon as he is. I keep telling him how much more room there is out here and how much he's going to love it!

37 weeks today! I've definitely been having BH which I didn't have last time. I'm ready for her to come whenever! My last US at 34 weeks had her at almost 6.5 lbs already!! I know they can be off some but my last was only 5.12 at birth so this makes me nervous! Doc said probably a solid 8.5 lbs if I go to due date. Mostly feeling sleepy sleepy also and more aches/pains in my legs lately.! Almost done!!
