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.
Has anyone heard from nurse Kasey?? Wonder if she's in labor?! @klkonwi In need of a serious attitude adjustment today. Poor DH is working so hard I just feel horrible needing his help. Heartburn, contractions, general tiredness. Ugh 12 days
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.
The only way I don't have heartburn all night is if I eat dinner at 3pm, which doesn't really count as dinner anymore. I'm quite angry and short tempered. I want to smash every stupid driver that cuts me off. I'm ready to be done.
Nervous... Went for my 37 week appointment. They did an ultrasound.. She decided to go breech. I'm waiting to see the Dr now. Other than that she weighs about 6 pounds 4 ounces. Practicing breathing. :x

I had my 37 week last Friday and my LO is breech, too. I'm going back on Thursday and deciding if I want to try the version or schedule a c-section. Praying both of our kiddos flip!
Because I work from home, working up until my due date SEEMED like a good idea when I was discussing leave options w/ my boss...however I'm 39 weeks today, my 3 older kids are out of school and driving me nuts. I think I'm going to burn my laptop in the driveway, lock the kids outside and sleep until next week. I want to punch myself in the face.
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!
I'm a laundry list of symptoms today! Thankfully, all these are normal.
-Nose bleeds last night and this morning -random ass contractions -hellish heartburn (unless I time the Zantac 150 perfectly) -lots of potty trips bc now everything feels urgent -pelvic pressure on the virginia and anal -tons of nasal congestion/mucus -anxiety -fatigue -heart racing when I walk around -dizziness when I climb or go down stairs -pain when reaching/bending/crouching -backache -headaches -decreased appetite/nausea -inability to sit-up -difficulty rolling over/out of bed -attention span of a gnat -swollen beyond what I ever thought I'd be -nesting urges but no energy -less stabbiness and crying today, but we'll see
LO has started moving into my pelvis, which is a mixed blessing. I slept so well last night, probably because I could breathe, but I also pee-leaked the SECOND I woke up. My bladder couldn't handle it anymore. Luckily DH has a good sense of humor. Been feeling "off". Not irritable anymore, but dizzy and light headed and a little bit...weird.
Also, offer on our house was accepted so we've started packing some. We'll be closing in a month so I'm a little excited about having people move for me and having a real excuse to get out of it. Yay for family!
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?

My OB said heart rate drops are normal as long as they aren't sudden or dramatic. Ours was a little low, too. He made a joke about it being a sign of early labor, "but so is everything". (He's one of us. Ha.)
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."
Still waiting it out for LO to come out. She wasn't handling the contractions very well and her heart rate kept dropping. We stopped the pitocin and now we have slowly started it once again to see how she reacts and if she doesn't take to it this time, we are going for a csection. Definitely not what we had planned but I'm 100% okay with it as long as LO is healthy and happy! So anxious!!!!! Not to mention exhausted with my complete lack of sleep last night.
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 wish I was in labor. My contractions last night were real and they were no joke but I chugged water and sat through them. Started at 1045 pm..... Went away around 3am ish. I just wasn't sure at first because all I've ever had were a few BH and this was so different! I thought.... Nah..... Can't be contracting!
@megtyrrell see I told you your contractions were real girl!!!!! saw your announcement!
Just goes to show you can have these suckers for a week and not have anything happen til the last minute.
I've been napping and I went to the pool today....... It felt amazing to be weightless for once!!!!!!

Come on kid.........
I'm so glad you were able to relax today. My ju ju vibes thought that's what you were doing!
The nesting was in full swing today. Now my back is paying the price. Contractions and exhaustion are at an all time high. I seriously want this kid out!!!
main PR symptom? i have to poop. but it just aint happening. ive also been really bad with taking my iron pills these past like 2 weeks. other than that im getting sick of this stupid discharge and all these feelings i have. stupid feelings. but on the plus side i bought some comfy shorts for post labour and a thin shortsleeved zip up from warehouse one that will be perfect for throwing over my bra if i decide to ever leave my room after baby is born.
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
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.
