Looks like a week from Monday is as early as I can be induced. part of me thinks I can't make it that long and part of me thinks holy crap I only have a little over a week to prepare. Crazy!
BO? Are you sweaty? Or is this an acronym I don't know yet?
Bahaha!! I was on my cell and hit 'post reply' before I got more than two letters in! Sorry!! I 'edited' it right after, but you're the best for checking in.
I was so confused! I'm glad you're home and not in preterm labor-- take care of yourself!
I only have 5 weeks to go and I'm experiencing constipation for the first time during pregnancy ( I actually was having the opposite problem the last few months and was going fairly regularly a couple times a day...I will gladly go back! I'm also exhausted and the last week of work (school teacher) is really taking it's toll.
Also, anybody else having a hard time drinking their water? I'm sure that's contributing to my general punkiness, but I just can't seem to get any enthusiasm of any kind for water anymore. My fruit and mint water concoction doesn't really do it for me anymore, and the flavored bubbly water things kinda help, but not so much. Its a real chore, forcing myself to drink the water I'm supposed to have
Even lifting the water glass sucks today. Sometimes I'm like, "ooh, I want something flavored." Nope, just ends up being disappointing. I feel like a punk today, too. A whiny one.
I feel like maybe baby has dropped as the top of my belly is now mushy. I'm having some insane pelvic pressure and feel like I'm being punched or kicked in the cervix. 1 month from today is EDD....can't believe so many of us are already full term or getting close. Love looking at the announcement board and seeing healthy, full term babies! We're in the home stretch ladies!
For the first time, I'm really feeling 38 weeks. I had a really body-intensive 12 hour shift. My second delivery of the day was a rockstar but it was super duper physical (for me being this pregnant) and I left feeling physically completely drained. I'm pretty sure I groaned each step to my car.
Not sure how I'm going to do two more shifts this week but..such is life.
TTC: 1/2014
BFP: 9/24
EDD: 6/8/2015
Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
@britneythebridexo I'm glad that's what your contractions have felt like too! I mean im not glad you feel them but I just started getting the same thing and it's been terrible. I spent the whole morning in my bathtub praying for it to stop. @dancegurl1118 I'm believing that your good karma will pay off and the good deeds you've done at work will come back to you for your delivery!
Fun little visit to the ER early this morning when I woke up with cramping that wouldn't go away with its best friends, puking and fever. Joy. They think it's just a stomach bug, but goodness gracious it makes me paranoid.
I've been having a lot irregular contractions. Question for when the time comes and I'm actually in labor: It takes about an hour maybe a little more for my husband to get home from work. At what point with my contractions should I call him at work to let him know that he should probably start heading home? Regular and 7 - 8 minutes apart?
I was feeling great but this afternoon was all stress. Got a prenatal massage at a big spot in town with 4 people that do prenatal... Found out after they used something with arnica extract in it... Which can cause pre term labor!!! In fact that product has a pregnancy warning on it!! Have a message into "corporate" but I did not need the stress after feeling so good!!!
@bbnmama2012 are you an FTM ? If your an FTM id say 7-8 min is fine. If your not id call him as soon as possible....... ! Im a wimp so id call right away and be on my way to epidural land........ But to each her own!

Thanks for the answer. I am at FTM. I know I'll be laboring at home for awhile. I'd like him to be here to rub my back, get me some water, obey my every command ;-), etc for as long as possible. However, I would hate to call at 10 minutes apart and then they stop before he gets home and he left work for nothing.
I'm exactly 2 weeks away from my EDD as of tomorrow. Not sure what the hell has gotten into me but I feel like I've hit a brick wall. I do not want to do a single thing. I'm exhausted and overwelmed because I still have to pack my bag, hang her clothes and install the car seat. But overall I'm just feeling very "blah"....sad maybe ? Who knows. I never did well at facing emotions. Which is weird because I've been perfectly fine this entire pregnancy. Sheesh. These pregnancy mood swings are in full effect now through. Hope everyone else is feeling better !
Learned an interesting tidbit today for those with bad calf cramping. My chiropractor takes an osteopathic approach and incorporates some muscle and organ work in with his adjustments. After my initial evaluation he asked me if I ever got calf cramps and I said yes on occasion although not severe and I had never really thought of it as a problem before. He said there are two calf muscles that are meant to function by gliding against one another but they can become fused together by scar tissue essentially over time and the cramping is caused by them not being able to function properly. Bing bang boom he separated the muscles it kind of just felt like being punched in the calf, haven't had any cramping since. Worth checking out for some of you who seem to get them very badly!
Same old song: exhaustion, acid reflux, overactive bowels. Bonus: also found out today that I have a yeast infection. Mentioned some vaginal itching at my appointment this afternoon and she checked for it, then wrote me a prescription for a 3-day cream. Hoping that takes care of it!
Re: Wed 5/27 Daily Symptoms! (How YOU doin, ladies?)
Gelusil (I find it on the bottom shelf at CVS or Walgreens)
Feel better!
So far no bloody show, water breaking, lost of mp, or a contraction that cripples me.
I'm going to be like Phoebe from friends when I go into labor lol
I feel like I can actually feel my stomach muscles tearing apart after this cleaning binge ?!?! It's painful.
Not sure how I'm going to do two more shifts this week but..such is life.
