I woke up so many times last night with pains in my hands! woof. i had to keep consciously leaving my hands flat and not in fists to keep them from hurting. Annnnnnnnd of course the usual fatness + jealousy haha
39 weeks tomorrow according to my first ultrasound, but 41 weeks if we listen to my original dates and followup ultrasound. I always felt like the original dates were closer to right. As such, I'm super done with being pregnant. I'm all crampy, sore, and sick in general...
Well ladies I've been admitted into labor and delivery! They are inducing me at 36 weeks exactly today. Baby is small and not getting sufficient blood to her brain so they decided it would be best to induce today. Eek! Wish us luck!
I am 39 weeks and 1 day today. Sleep has been declining for a couple of weeks now, so I am thankful when I'm able to get a little bit of shut eye. I am having contractions, but not consistent enough for them to be of any real concern. I no longer have ankles and can't fit into any of my shoes besides a pair of flip flops that have adjustable straps that I had to go buy. I was dilated to a one last week and have an appointment tomorrow, so we shall see if I have progressed any since then. I'm just ready to meet our baby boy! And being back to my normal self would be awesome too! Haha!
Really nervous and superstitious about the full moon as much as I'm ready to be done with this pregnancy I hope my chunky monkey stays put because DH is out of town until Friday. I'm excited about everyone who's getting prepped to meet their lo soon and love seeing the announcement board all the babies are so adorable.
As for symptoms I feel guilty because I sleep so damn good at night and everyone seems to have horrible restless nights. But I constantly feel hungry during the evening I just want to eat everything in site! O and this back pain sucks!
I can no longer determine if what I feel are movements, contractions, or soreness... My brain has given up on me and me feeling stressed over lack of progress is making me nuts....I need a plan of distraction for the week... Maybe a cruise?!
That's how I feel, I don't know if its mild contractions or having to use the bathroom. Lots of pelvic soreness and heartburn. But one day closer! Light at the end of the tunnel.
I went into Speedway today to get a Gatorade and had the worst contraction I've ever felt. All I could think was "SOB, I'm going to have this kid right here by the damn doughnuts!!"
If that's what real contractions feel like then... I'm screwed. Haha
My left side of my lower back has been aching the last few weeks & my chiro will fix it. Today, I was headed to the bathroom (big surprise) and my right side suddenly started aching. This side is different in that it is a constant ache and nothing is helping. On a good note, I've actually slept really well the last two nights. I just came in from watering my flowers and found my dog eating an entire bag of cookies our neighbors baked for us. Damn dog.
@Westypet normally my heartburn or reflux is not that bad, but when I was having that stretch of days where I literally couldn't eat for all the acid in my stomach and crawling up my throat, zantac 150 was my homie. Helped me transition away from being so miserable I was able to eat again. Thanks again to all the bump ladies who gave me the recommend at that time! Bleh! Felt so crappy! I now still use it on occasion, I could probably use it every day but most of the time just deal.
I've been extra emotional since last night. Today I took my DD (17 - who is a gem) to a Dr. apt and she thought it was sweet to record me waddling across the lobby. When I sat down next to her she showed me the video and said smiling, "Look mom! You're sooooo cute. Look at the way you walk." I burst into tears and said, as any mature 40 yr old woman would, "I look fat, stupid and ugly AND I miss my high heels" And down poured the flood. These tears were the real deal! She of course tried to console me and felt horrible. Arrrrrrr hormones!!! It's embarrassing that I have no control!
Also, even though this is my 4th (been 16 yrs since my last), I'm starting to get really nervous. 36+2 today and counting. Yikes! :-SS
I feel uncomfortable and ready for LO... Super emotional and I'm sure the rest of the family is ready for me to be normal again lol... Not sure what that is or if I'll get it back but wow to this roller coaster
I think my body knows I'm being induced soon....or I'm stressing myself too bad and it's causing exhaustion and diarrhea. Idk but I feel different or I'm just crazy.
@mvargas12 Yes, I get that all the time, even when I'm not pregnant. Like at least once a day for as long as I can remember. It usually happens after I eat.
last night i had what felt to me like a period cramp (like i actually ran to the bathroom to check my underwear for blood) it hurt so bad i actually threw up a little. if thats a contraction.. im royally screwed. i could never survive my period cramps without extra strength inuprophen. i would just lay there in pain not being able to do anything. not sure if its a pregnancy symptom or im going crazy at this point but my left eye lid keeps twitching. just the bottom one though. its getting annoying.
Labor was a hot mess. Back labor the whole time + scoliosis effecting the epidural + an Ill positioned baby = yikes. Not how I imagined it in the slightest, haha...butttt here we are.
Also kicking myself for not packing a bag ahead of time. Because now I have nothing. I guess all I need is my charger?
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.
@JessHeppell I had two of those random period cramps in the early hours of the morning and they did hurt. They were spaced apart by a while tho, so I dunno WHAT that was.
Congrats to @dancegurl1118!! woot woot! <:-P I'm gonna have to step up my RRL tea consumption!
For me today feeling generally good other than my girly bits feel extra tender and I feel a lot of pressure under my belly button - like being bloated during that time of the month, but times a lot. And the usual back pain, tired.
Still feeling super crampy & achey. Found that diarrhea everyone keeps talking about. Thought I was having some pretty painful contractions today (with pressure)... Turns out it was just an upset tummy. Maybe I'll go into labor tonight! Hahahaha. One can wish.
Even though I am only 37 weeks and DH is out of town, I'm really jealous of all the moms meeting their LOs. At the same time, I'm super excited for the FTMs - you have no idea how amazing being a mom is! I'm tired and hormonal and I miss my boys. I'm ready for them to come home. I've actually felt good today, which means I should be up all night with heartburn. Yay.
