I am pretty pissed that I only got 2 great nights of sleep. It's 1:50 Am and I can't stop peeing and my hips hurt so bad I might cry ! Also for some reason I am feeling creeped out by being alone in the house. Normally I never even think of it...... Dumb pregnant brain.
Gosh.... I'm back to normal. All that positive energy yesterday lol
Welp..... Hope your day/night is going well people!!! Good old Calvin and Hobbes for the win today.
@klkonwi It seems like we have the same sleep cycles. I was having insomnia for awhile, but then the last two night I slept amazing! Didn't even wake up to pee. Now I'm wide awake.
Wide awake here too. She lectured me at one point about being on my iPad and that not being able to help me sleep. I was like, you really think I'm choosing to be up? I'm actually so bored (sorry) and tired of being online! Only so many things to google and especially only so much shopping that can be done!
If life was perfect ...... I would buy prenatal massages for everyone everyday and we would all just be queens......... Oh and also if life was perfect we could all drink all the wine our entire pregnancy to relax..... Ahhhhh I'm dreaming !!!
Also since I'm chatty Kathy today.... I feel sort of guilty I don't have the perfect "outfit" for this baby...... Nothing that makes me go awwwww! That thread got me thinking yesterday..... I need to buy something that really excites me..... This is probably because I live in a small town and I'm so damn practical!!!!! Bah.
Insomnia...it's currently 1:30 am on my side of town and I'm not the least bit tired. Even if I was tired, trying to get comfortable with all this pelvic pressure is always a joke. It even hurts to walk to the bathroom and forget about rolling over in bed. Hope you ladies find comfort and sleep. I'll be watching Kill Bill.

Meh. Me neither. I am actually just really excited about all the plain white onesies piled in my closet. The outfits people are posting are adorable, but I am personally not one to use material items to focus my excitement. (That is in no way saying it is materialistic, etc. Just saying you are not lacking something or abnormal for not having "the perfect outfit".)
I am feeling pretty good, but baby is really running out of room. How I sit and lay really impacts LO's position and my own comfort. Trying to sit upright and give us lots of space! Insert daily moan about my ribs...
So much pressure on my lower back/tailbone area. I'm currently laying on my floor trying to stretch it out and because the hard floor seems to feel much better than my new mattress.. Also, since the pain woke me up, I'm now starving and feel like I haven't eaten in days.....but I'm too exhausted to go to the kitchen and get something. I need a mini fridge by my bed for nights like this. That would have been an awesome pregnancy investment....
Couldn't fall asleep until 2AM, back up at 4:15. Having contractions every 7-10 minutes but nothing that really takes my breath away just enough to keep me awake. . Annoying. My restless legs are driving me crazy too. Lower back and hip pain, as usual and peeing constantly.
Yes @rrcameron21 ! Every time I try to roll over in bed it feels like lightning!
Just pure being tired as hell again today. I didn't fall asleep until 315 and my poor husband has to wake me up at 530 every morning to give me a heparin shot before he leaves for work so I never really get to sleep in because even though I COULD go back to sleep in theory, I can never do it. So after my appointment today hopefully I can pass out and squeeze a nap in so I don't murder anybody.
Does anybody else wake up with HUGE hands and knuckles that feel like you've been kneading dough all day? haha.
@klkonwi - please figure that wine and massage thing out ASAP
I've been awake since 2. Not really having contractions just constant cramping. I took a bath again and going to lie back down. Hopefully I can sleep, but it isn't looking too promising.

My hands are so stiff and sore!! Pinching and opening things sucks. I don't know what else to do but use my makeshift ice pack to make the swelling go down. (It's a frozen vodka bottle.)
I have the greatest symptom of all: Labor! Water started leaking around 2:00am est. (very weird Feeling!) and I was admitted at 3:30am. I'm not contracting much but they are giving me time before introducing pitocin. Prayers are much appreciated! I'm a FTM so I'm feeling all kinds of emotions!
hate it for you @westypet but glad I'm not the only one! and thanks a lot - now my symptom is wanting vodka.
You'll never be the same! Haha. Seriously, best image ever-- 9 months pregnant and carrying around a bottle of vodka. It looks ridiculous but feels amazing on your hands and on the back of your neck. Bye, frozen peas! Hello, vodka!!!

@btm013 awesome! Can't wait to see your birth announcement! Good luck!
I went for my 37 week appointment yesterday. Due to my fibroid growth, my doctor mentioned inducing at 39 weeks. She was hoping I'd be dilated, but I'm still not at all. She'll check me again next week and we'll make a decision. She said that induction if I'm not ready can be more difficult and she could end in c section, or something to that effect. I just want to do what's best for the baby. I'm a FTM, so any insight or similar experiences would be awesome!
Other than that just achy, tired, and feeling big! Hope everyone is doing great!
Edited because the first time I posted half my post was deleted...grrrr!
Well yesterday I went to my 38 week appointment and everything has been going well. Last night I started some mild spotting and cramping shortly came after and lasted most of the night. I have had some more spotting since I woke up, but I'm not too concerned about it. Since last night I have had some loose stool (I don't know if it's from me being so nervous the last couple of days or maybe a tummy bug). Other than those two things I think everything is going pretty well (I think lol). Hope everyone is feeling well!! )
I think half of my day I am in the bathroom... Ugh not fun... Heartburn and nausea continue... Yesterday I actually threw up in my red raspberry leaf tea which means I have to wait even longer before I go into labor
oh and also if life was perfect we could all drink all the wine our entire pregnancy to relax..... Ahhhhh I'm dreaming !!!
My best friend has promised me a glass of wine the moment I pop Connor out. I would love a good glass of wine. I miss it so much. I sound like a lush.. I am not.
37 weeks today! My little bear is term... he seems unawear. My swelling is progressively getting worse on my right foot and ankle. It is now pitting edema +4. And it's my foot ankle and starting up my leg. I noticed a small area of redness and bruising to the bend of my ankle. I am going to call today and tell my md. I know edema and even pitting is common in pregnancy but unilateral edema is worry some to me. NTM it is a little bit painful to bend my ankle.
I have a dull headache that just started and I'm feeling really dizzy. Drinking a lot of water this morning but starting to get worried that my BP may be a little high. I'm not sure at what point I should call my doctor.
I haven't even had a patient yet (hopefully they're taking pity on my soul but that's a dangerous game to play because you never know what will walk in the door) but I am exhausted. I am seriously rethinking this "work til you pop" thing. Just need to win Powerball...

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
@dancegurl1118 I hate waiting around for a patient. It's almost better to have one the whole time.... You are my hero that you are still working. I'm all wimped out at home.
Lower back pain, swollen feet, carpel tunnel feelings in my hands, groin pain....scheduled c section is set for tomorrow due to baby girl being frank breech and hasn't turned. Due date was June 2nd! Excited to post her birth announcement tomorrow!
So just went to the bathroom. Major mucous plug loss and bloody show. Called my doctor waiting for nurse to return my call. Now I'm in cray cray nesting mode. DH did let the little guy know that he was now allowed to make his appearance. On the look out for TRUE labor today ladies.
Its taking me forever to go to sleep, resulting in me being even more tired. To add onto my symptom...whoever in the Army decided it was a good idea to make a woman that's about to pop still wake up super early to go do PT has obviously never been pregnant. I barley want to roll out of bed! I got it...exercise is important, but it just makes me cranky.
@klkonwi well I realized today that if I'm induced at the latest (41+3) it is exactly 3 weeks from today and 10 more shifts (11 counting today). I CAN (maybe) DO IT!!!
@kzeas01 WUT. I can't even put on my socks. How are you exercising at such an intensity level? Man you must be super woman. :-bd

I can't pick out a perfect outfit either! I thought a simple onesie was fine but aparently not. Tuxedo onesie? I could go for that.
Meh. Me neither. I am actually just really excited about all the plain white onesies piled in my closet. The outfits people are posting are adorable, but I am personally not one to use material items to focus my excitement. (That is in no way saying it is materialistic, etc. Just saying you are not lacking something or abnormal for not having "the perfect outfit".)
