  • Loading the player...
  • Worse acid reflux of my life. First time in this pregnancy and it started 2 days ago. Kept me up most of the night thinking I was going to throw up. I feel awful and tums aren't helping. I hope this passes. My esophagus feels raw.
  • I feel awful today. I just vacuumed all the hardwoods and now they need to be steamed but I legit can't even get back up. My back hurts so bad I want to cry. One week tomorrow. Hopefully less.
  • I actually slept all night! Not sure how that's possible! My feet are very swollen and hurt very bad. I'm still tired even though I slept. Ribs and hips and pelvic bones all still ache. Induction is set for Thursday morning. Cannot wait to get This baby out of me!!!!
  • DS and I have horrible colds. Coughing up a lung and sore throats and migraines. Sadly it is DHs bday so still trying to not be a total buzz kill. Have an nst today and hopefully all goes well otherwise dh and baby might have the same bday. Also I need this cold gone before my schedule csection on Monday because I don't want to be coughing like crazy when I am cut open.
  • Feeling a range of emotions today- nervous because I'm being induced tomorrow morning, stabby because it seems like every client who comes in says to me "Oh wow, you're still here??" (Sometimes I feel like saying, no, I'm not really here you're just crazy) and happy because my work threw a little "going - away - welcome - new - baby - to - the - work - family" party for me today with cookies and other goodies which was really sweet.  Other than the emotional I'm not really feeling anything bad, I feel like a normal person which is always nice!  At least baby is being cooperative, in that sense, to the very end!
  • So today my symptom is over all aniety and worrying. Today at my appt, my OB lingered a little longer while reading LO's HB. She said it was dropping into the 1-teens, but then said its all ok.


    Also, baby is moving differently. More pushes and nudges than fast paced movements. Normal?

    I'm getting a lot of leaning movements, too.

    Could baby have been sleeping when HB was read?
  • swollen fingers and hands, lightning crotch, constipation, you know, the usual.

     

    I did somehow manage to sleep for 2+ hours at a time twice during the night in between pee breaks, which was a blessing.  Still tired from the night before when i slept hardly at all though.

     

    Still at work...thinking i may start working from home next week.  Getting dressed up and sitting at a desk all day is hard.

     

    Doctor appt tomorrow afternoon...hoping for some positive changes.  Was fingertip dilated last time, with cervix in perfect position and baby's head extremely low in my pelvis, so i'm praying for more dilation at least (even though it doesn't mean much).  Have been losing small portions of mucous plug for the past few days.

     

    I had a really weird dream last night about my cat needing surgery and having to feed him out of a bottle afterwards.  And then i got up to pee and was dripping a bit afterwards and was like "OMG DID MY WATER BREAK" but it obviously did not, and i was just half asleep and confused.

     

    Is it possible to be having BH contractions but not notice them?  I hope so, because i don't think i've had any, but i hope i have and am getting ready for labor in some capacity.  Is it bad that i sometimes hope now that i'll have elevated blood pressure for my doctor appt and they'll just want to induce me immediately?  Sigh.

  • No, babe was moving a little bit, but just the pushes. I don't know if it was a sudden drop, but you'd think it is ok since she said she wasn't worried.

    I've just had this constant monitoring for baby due to GD and feel like I'm taking everything WAY too seriously and it's stressing me out now that I have like 12 days left.

  • Today is a lot of light-headedness and hot flashes. Unpleasant! Still getting random PAINFUL jabs from my baby. I wish i could tell her "I get that you're running out of room, i'm not happy about it either."

    Good luck @kaila8!

    Shouting out to @klkonwi, hoping you are in l&d getting cheered on by your friends and your DH! Or, that you're headache and pain free and are getting a well deserved long sleep sesh. Either way, we're thinking of you!

  • Dear diary,
    My biggest fear is starting to come true. The hospital is overbooked and I can't get on the schedule for an early induction, I'm on the wait list. Given that my OB has had scheduled patients get bumped, I'm not optimistic. That means natural labor, so scrambling for childcare and hoping someone shows up and I make it to the hospital on time. That also means no drugs, no relief, and reliving one of the worst experiences of my life. There's also the possibility we can't get child care and either DS comes to the hospital or DH stays home, either of which results in me giving birth with just the doula and medical staff. I want to cry but I'm at work. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry.

    My apologies, goddamn hormones and PTSD.

    Can you explain your extreme situation to the hospital staff and get moved higher up the wait list? You have a unique situation and someone must be able to help. Does your OB know the specific details of your past experience and why induction is so important?
  • I seriously keep hearing/feeling a pop. Way down low. Like..as low as it gets. Okay, not a lot, but its happened a few times throughout the day. Its freaking me out. I keep thinking its my water breaking. But no.. Maybe its all in my head. ONLY TWO DAYS TILL DUE DATE & i am sort of panicking. Ah hha.
    I feel SO different, like he's coming soon... But its very confusing. I think i may be having real contractions?? But it doesnt hurt..just pressure and the "contracting" part is odd.. I imagined very strong tightening.. It just kinda like my whole front gets solid & mishapen.

    Good gosh, i am allll over the place waiting for this lil guy.
    Come out !!!!
  • @Westypet My OB knows. They have precipitous labor, PTSD, and childcare issues in my chart but they still have to prioritize women with GD, pre-e, past due, and any other "imminent" medical issues. They also have to keep a minimum number of delivery rooms open for spontaneous labors. I get it. It just blows. The hospital ultimately sets the schedules for inductions and my OB has little control unless there's an emergency. Now I just pray that a whole bunch of women go into labor in the next few days and no new emergencies pop up. That would make everyone happy, right?
  • I'm jealous & stabby today. Finally feeling the "I'm done being pregnant-give me my baby" vibes. I also am a busy body stuck at home all week- so that doesn't help. I'm already over tv & Netflix.
    Symptoms wise - heartburn & gas. Oh joy. This is glamorous.
  • Really crampy today and was spotting this am. Still annoyed with this prodromal labor bs. Contractions that aren't doing anything to help the babe come out. EDD is Friday! Wish that actually meant something. Lol :-w
  • Dear diary,
    My air conditioning went out.... It's 80 degrees in my house now.... 94 outside.

    Not cool.

  • 4 days past my due date! Not dilated at all. Carpal tunnel is getting worse, I feel so exhausted and barely want to move. Yet I'm forcing myself to walk 3 miles a day and trying all the things to naturally start labor. Feeling a lot of pressure from my doctor's to schedule an induction that I really don't want. But my resolve is waning and I may just cave if there's still no progress by this Friday.
