Well obviously after a couple great nights of sleep I'm back on the insomnia train!

I might be the only one..... Pretty dead right now.

I have a new symptom.... I no longer love food..... And if I do eat... Most of it ends up on my shirt where I can't see it and go out in public. Pretty neat and classy!!!!

Starting to get scared for labor..... Need some deep breathing and reassurance.
Oh and if one more person posts another "look at meeee" thread.... I will scream.

I'm here with you on the insomnia train. Add to that insane hot flashes and lightening crotch on the regular...bah

klkonwi

Yay! I'm not alone @upandbelow

I've been up since 12:45....currently 3:46....ugh. Riding the struggle bus hard. Also, period like cramping since yesterday Afternoon. I was hoping it would turn into contractions, but no such luck...

klkonwi

I remember when riding the struggle bus meant I had a hangover! Lol

Choo choo!
Can't decide if this gif is my brain or my uterus.

Been awake since 1:52 when hard contractions started. Lost my mucus plug later and contractions have only intensified since then! Crossing my fingers they continue. [-O<

Since I had my membranes stripped yesterday I've been feeling pretty crappy. The doctor said this was normal, but I just hate the nauseous feeling. It's like my appetite is almost completely gone.
And I'm with everyone else on the insomnia thing. If I can get 3 or 4 hours of sleep I'm satisfied. My newest thing lately is taking all the pillows off my side of the bed and just sleeping flat on the mattress..it hurts my neck too much otherwise with the pillows.

Today is my due date. Nothing is happening. Just fatness and feeling like poop.

I was up 2am-3am with pretty strong contractions. Quite painful and from 4-5 mins apart..and I was just about to wake up my guy to tell him he better call work and let them know. ... When they fizzled out.. SO disappointed. I was kind of starting to panic .. But it was a wonderful kind of panic.
Damn it. Got a lil bit of sleep but i cannot calm my nerves. Still contracting.. But mildly. Although they are still accimpanied by back pain when they come... I sooooo thought this a.m. Was our time. Still crossing fingers for today. One can only hope. What a cruel game this is..

delujm0

Swollen and cranky as usual. Still no contractions of any kind. Kid beating up my organs from the inside. And it's close to 100 degrees here all week. COME OUT.

tomorrow will be my last day in the office before I start working from home until maternity leave starts...so that's a plus. Going to attempt a pilates lesson tonight but that hasn't shaken the baby loose the past several weeks, so I doubt it will help in that department. 39+1 today.

mlindzz

I believe baby is wiggling south, and I'm pretty sure it's his shoulders that are causing lots of sharp pains, regardless... Ouch!

Due date is tomorrow.

It's pretty entertaining watching peoples facial expressions change this week from 'oh, cute baby bump' too.. 'Due when?!... Oh heck no. Danger!' and the conversation wraps up quickly. I had one person ask 'why are you out?' Lol .. like it's contagious.

I'm feeling the norm- achy, full of baby, and tired. It's just weird to me that I'm gonna have a kid. I kinda forget that all of this is going to end with me having a little human to care for and I get nervous/excited. I'm scared for birth, the re cooperation afterwards while trying to learn how to breastfeed, and scared of being isolated and having PPD. Just all around scared and trying to enjoy some downtime with myself but also feeling lonely. This is such a weird time.

Mandisclark

Super sore pelvis, feeling like she's literally about to fall out, annoyance with my doctor, body aches and for the love of all things holy: contractions that fizzle out :-(

 

Just the normal pregnancy stuff that makes us all stabby.

I never thought this day would come but seriously can't walk, my pelvic bone hurts so bad I can hardly move my legs. Good thing is my c section is tomorrow morning, bad thing is my husband is working for 12 hours and we have a 3 year old. Yikes. Other than that and throwing up, I actually feel okay while I'm sitting. Waiting for the OR to call me with my time tomorrow morning

Sammy K

I'm still pregnant, so that's a plus. As if sleep isn't hard enough, DS, the dog, and even DH woke me up last night. DH is clearly stressed since he's been sleep walking/talking a lot this last week. Last night he told me to get my animals because the bed was popping. When I asked what I was supposed to do, he said "wait" then fell back in his pillows, totally asleep. I was wide awake. I'm praying for a call from the hospital so we can get this show on the road.

KarasTwin

Face is breaking out. Bottom of the bump is sore and hips are killing me. Not to mention the ungodly heat. Mid to high 90s here all week. It was already 75 when I left for work at 10 till 7 this morning

So with you on the pelvic pain!! It's like the 9th layer of hell or something, I swear

My belly is insanely itchy! All I want to do is sit and scratch my stomach, although it never seems to relieve the itching. Even the lotion my dr suggested doesn't do much to help relieve the itching. Can't wait for baby boy to come!

starrysmile18

I'm having hot flashes, and a really bad headache. I woke up with the headache. No swelling to speak of. My BP has always been fine, but I have a BPP and my pre-op C section appt at 9:45am, so I'll talk to my OB then. Kind of worried.

lovethatcolosun

New symptom for me...swollen eyes from crying for an hour last night. Other than that all of my symptoms are emotion related: frustrated, sad, disappointed, and stabby. I want to just go back to bed. :-L

I totally feel you on the itchy belly! I'm 40 weeks + 5 days today. I have stretch marks from baby #1, but didn't have any new ones from this pregnancy until about a week and a half ago. Belly itches constantly!

Contractions come & go every night.. I get excited and then end up falling asleep. I was up in the middle of the night last night for a couple hours because I was hot & just couldn't sleep. Tomorrow is my 41 week ultrasound, NST, and appointment. Hopefully she decides to come today instead!

magono20

5 days past our due date.  Going a bit stir crazy and getting very cranky.  Just a couple of contractions, nothing to get excited about.  Im pretty sure I was supposed to have a baby by now!  Hopefully it will be soon!

Thinking of you. I bet you're just suffering from the crap preg symptoms and that you have nothing to worry about. :-)

Angela2016

Up from 1am to about 7 with contractions every fifteen minutes. Was hopeful but now they have slowed down a bit. Have lost mucus plug over the last couple days. Yesterday and throughout the night and still today going number 2 like crazy. Lower back is killing me with all the contractions and sometimes when the contraction is over the backache stays with me and nothing helps relieve it. A hot shower will but as soon as I get out it is back. Please please let this all be signs that baby will be here today! Hubby is at work anxiously waiting for my phone call.

Cranky from being woke up by a well meaning friend 'just checking in!' at 6am this morning. My Virginia hurts. My hips hurt. Just generally cranky and while frightened of labor and absolutely terrified of having a baby that I will have to care for, I've passed that point where IGAF.

My last 2 appointments both drs had told me that I had EDD wrong - I've been thinking it was the 18th. Its apparently the 16th (today). Both drs had counseled inducing this Friday if I was still hanging around by my appt on Thursday, and I'm more and more just leaning to doing it and getting this the eff over with. Makes sense anyway. I'm AMA so it sounds like its safer for me and baby than to wait, I'm not going to be allowed to induce on the 21st we know already cause of the weekend, Monday is almost a week overdue and thus goes against the AMA safety thing... and if I can't have a 21st kid I'd rather have a 19th kid (this whole pregnancy has been a 'its all gone 19' thing anyway - from the Dark Tower series for you bookworms. Just hoping they'll let me go in early enough to maximize my chances of making it thru before midnight. Probably not...sigh).

So really, my symptoms are all mental sh!t today. The physical stuff is there, too, but I'm mostly trapped inside my mind, running in circles.

Besides the usual pregnant stuff like swollen feet, hurting Virginia and feeling like a balloon ready to pop...I woke up with a super sore throat. I will lose my mind if I get a cold right now !!!

Mommaswizz

Swollen feet are the primary symptom i have. Other than that it's just general discomfort. Still no contractions, lightning crotch, diarrhea, loss of mucus plug, or any of the unsavory symptoms i've been "looking forward" to that would at least signal that i'm getting closer to having this baby. so i guess I'm still pregnant and not going into labor this week. Onto another week o'fun.

klkonwi

These cramps are so annoying. Either do something serious or GO the HELL away........ I can't emotionally handle the glimmer of hope right now....

Does that make sense to anyone?
I took some Benadryl and hope to nap.

I think I slept two hours last night so I'm not exactly in the insomnia club but, cluster feeding has me up all night with ya. I've also developed some kind of anxiety having so many older children around. Like everyone's sick and should bleach their hands before getting around him. It stresses me out.

Mandisclark

Latest symptom for today: All emotional... Just feeling like I'm going to be pregnant forever since my doc is against inducing for the time being.

 

I'll definitely be making a convincing argument on Thursday at my 39 week appointment though.

I'm just over it.

I've had so many issues with this pregnancy that I didn't have with my first - I had trouble gaining weight in my third trimester, they thought the baby was low birth weight (she's not, but we needed extra testing), I've had horrible anxiety and prodromal labor, and now I have this really gnarly spider bite on my neck just under my chin that has ballooned in the three days I've had it.  It's super swollen and painful today - midwife said to take benadryl and rub cortisone cream on it 3x a day - but I didn't take so much as a tums with my first and it squicks me out to take anything.  And I don't know what kind of spider it was but it bit me in my sleep, which FREAKS me out.

All I want is for baby to be here so I can treat this stupid bite without worrying that I'm doing permanent damage to her in there.

Sammy K

GOOD NEWS! The hospital called and they're taking me off the waiting list! I don't have a time yet because my OB's office didn't tell the hospital that Cervadil wasn't necessary, only pitocin, so they are clearing that up. She was going to call me back to tell me what time to come in tomorrow! Hold on baby girl, just one more night!

ETA: 7am! Tomorrow is baby day!

Have you tried/do you have any essential oils you could use?

Mommaswizz

Sammy K Ahhhhhhh! That's amazing news!! I've been so worried for you knowing your situation. I'd have been just as concerned about going into labor anywhere but a hospital bed too. So so happy to hear the hospital is going to work this out!

HisSunshineLove

UNCOMFORTABLE!
If I sit on my love seat or couch, my legs fall asleep. If I sit in my recliner, my back and ribs hurt. If I lay in my bed, my hips hurt and heartburn tries to creep. If I stand or walk around, I have BH and more back pain. And I have a headache coming on that doesn't care which piece of furniture I'm attempting to get comfy on at the moment. Blaaaa!

Speaking of bug bites... I sat outside the other day on my porch to get some much needed fresh air. As I was enjoying the sunshine, I was ambushed by a swarm of stealth mosquito's (didn't hear 'em, see 'em, or feel 'em) who attacked my ankles. I woke up the next day with them covered in bites. REALLY! Of all places.... I can't reach to scratch people! :ar!

mrs1374a

@Sammy K our babies will share a birthday!! I go in tomorrow too

klkonwi

Update. Cramps are still here. Just the same dull cramps........

Benadryl just made me lay here like a zombie and no nap..... What the F!!!

barrakeata

I cant take it any longer!! Ahhhh!!! I feel like im living in a nightmare. I know im not the only one but I WAS NOT PLANNING ON BEING OVERDUE.(let alone 5 days past.. No end in near sight). I thought things were moving forward after everything yesterday.. But now im doubting it.
Im a mess to say the least.

All i can do is hope for a random quick transition into real labor that will catch me off guard and restore my happy . I miss my happy.



ETA: X( Was running a bath while posting on here..finished my post.. Went into the bathroom.. To find my dog. In the tub. Enjoying MY BATH. Not cool. Did that really just happen!!??? What the F.
