Hi Ladies, 38+3 today, bad night sleep last night waking every hour for the loo and was still awake and up at 6.30am! Have a crazy hunger as well these last few days, nothing I eat is filling me up! Anyone else? Partner is away for the week again so home alone. Wondering if anything will happen this week. Hmmm xxx

Up at 430am, ugh. I just try to remind myself it's mother nature's way of prepping me for lack of sleep. Our DD's birthday is today, so excited, can't believe she's 3! Crazy to think I was in labor 3 years ago and now I'm 38w5d pregnant with her sister. I'm getting induced on Friday and hoping little one doesn't make a surprise entrance today as I'd like my girls to have their own day. I guess we'll see.

Its too hot hear 100f . Getting hot flashes all night ans some irregular contractions. Is this the sign of labour or just a heat that derive crazy.

Mjstine

Heading to my final appointment before my c section later in the week. Excited and nervous all at the same time! I have my massive list of questions ready!

I seriously enjoyed my chocolate covered ice cream that I had for dessert. I won't lie... It was awesome ! In exciting news I got the letter from my hospital detailing my c-section date. Kinda excited !!!

In other news though I've been having some intense Braxton hicks this afternoon and am loosing my mucus plug in small chunks.

I'm waiting for my baby to wake up so I can feed her. I'm fully engourged and had to pump already. Clearly she's pooping her pants and sleeping right through it. How do you do that!!??
Wake up baby!

My DS turned 4 on July 5 and my c/s is scheduled for July 23. All day on the 5th I kept thinking, please don't be today, please.



Hope you have a great day!!

I get my membranes stripped in two hours to help induce labor. Last time I got membranes stripped I went into labor a day after and I started at 2cm and 0% effaced. This time I am 4cm and 70% effaced. So I think it will most definitely get the ball rolling. Fingers crossed!

Other news, my mom got here last night from Chicago! If I don't go into labor from membranes being stripped, she is going to take me to get a pedicure!! I'm actually excited. It gives me something to look forward to besides having a baby.

And we have clarified five hundred times that she isn't going to be in the labor room haha.

I started the same vicious cycle today. Slept like crap bc of hourly potty breaks. I have to turn the light on now when I go because... What if I wiped and there was something there ? Wake up in the morning to NOT being in labor. Drop a huge piece of plug in the pot and spend the whole day NOT being in labor.

My first came 10 days before EDD. If this little boy was the same he would be 3 days old by now!!!!

Gonna spend the day running errands. Hoping it puts me in labor.

I'm sitting in the hospital... Got induced last night. They took the balloon out this morning and I was at a 6! Doctor broke my water about an hour ago and am now at a 7... Hopefully she will be here by lunch! Oh and if you're unsure of an epidural, I have loved mine!!!!

wheresilenceismusic

I plan to spend the day dancing to my labor playlist.  While waiting for her, what the hell!

Other than that -- craft projects + baking a blueberry pie.  Attempting to forget the weiiiiird dreams that I had last night.

I hope we all have our babies today, everyone!

My best friend text me this morning that my official due date is in 2 weeks.... It's sort of sinking in that I will be a mom in about 14 days, craziness!!!

I am going this week for one last growth scan to see if this LO has gotten  "too big." In the meantime I'm just working and drink my red raspberry tea hoping my body prepares more.

2babes3angels

The nesting urge finally found me (I was beginning to accept that this kid was just going to have to be born into a giant, disorganized, fur coated mess)!! Spent like 2 hours cleaning and organizing yesterday & then woke up today with horrible sciatic pain. But because I'm on a roll and this urge may not find its way back to me, I'm pushing through and doing some more this morning while my toddler watches some veggie tales. Planning on running a few errands later this morning and then taking my big boy (21 months) outside to play in the kiddie pool after nap time. Mommy is too tired to be fully engaged today I-)

rottielove

Today is the day before my induction! Hubby and I are spending our last day together as a family of two..getting the house ready, playing with the dogs, relaxing, and a yummy dinner out planned for after my appointment where I'll be given cervidil! I'm so nervous and so excited!!

mrsrep123

Didn't sleep well... Probably fell asleep around 3 am, out of bed to pee 3 x, and up at 7:30. WHY? I was so tired and uncomfortable from: taking down the crib in the nursery and bringing it into our master bedroom, doing and folding all the laundry, shopping at costco and washing ALL the fruit we bought when we got home.

PLUS, I work the next 4 days... Ugh! Maybe I'll finally decide at my 38 week appt tomorrow that I'm finally gonna go out.

Hope you mommas playing the waiting game have some action today... Except for you @MCH77! @babydoll1008 - hopefully yours start after the pedicure with your mom!

BettyCotton

Hello bumpies. I'm feeling tired... had an afternoon nap today! I'm also really hungry for carbs. I'm wanting bread, cheese biscuits and also wanting loads of chocolate...
been sewing today - adapted some of my maternity clothes for breast feeding and made a couple of bibs.
I'm 37+6 today.
hope you are all doing well.

Update: baby is coming today!!!!!

lkush12

39 weeks today!! Sitting in the dr office waiting. Had horrible period cramping last night along with losing my mucus plug since 11am yesterday. Hoping to get some good news from the doc today but who knows! I'm right along with you ladies...I barely slept last night contemplating if I was going into labor. Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Whoo Hoooo!! Good Luck!

I've had a horrible cough that I've been taking antibiotic for. Im so terrified to have my csection done with this cough. Hopefully I recover before my scheduled date.

Kmommy5

Just had a doc appointment
I'm 39 weeks almost 2 cm and I was offered to have my water broken Wednesday to induce labor , but I declined! It's soooo tempting though! But been having braxton hicks contractions off and on today and one out of nowhere was really painful! It surprised me! So here's hoping I do it on my own soon!

mfitch9191

Slept 4 hours and woke up at 630 am ready to take on the world! Hmm... I think some nesting has kicked in?? I went to the grocery store at 8, bought a bunch of stuff to make sub sandwiches because I've been craving them with this heat. Came home and cleaned the fridge and cabinets out and organized EVERYTHING! I have done all my laundry and so far cleaned half of my house. It's only 2pm, I feel so accomplished considering I've been doing nothing for the last few weeks. My parents will be here tomorrow and I will officially be a mommy on Wednesday!! :x

pandd10513

I had all intentions of going to the grocery store this afternoon when DH got home from work. Well he's home and I'm still on the couch. Guess I'll go tomorrow instead. Maybe I can convince him to help me put the car seat and base in the car so the days not a total waste.

smccall3838

I was awakened every 10-15 min with back labor pains. Up at 6ish to hear DH bitch and complain (insert silent treatment), laughed to myself when I realized he left his wallet in my car. Cried a bit feeling powerless after dropping DS off at daycare. Turned up with retail therapy at Target. No awaiting my DD to decide where we'll dine for lunch (I have to break it to her that I don't feel comfortable with her in the room when I deliver).
Happy freaking monday!

shanasheppard

If this kid gets any lower...he's going to FALL OUT!!!

Mjstine

I am jealous of all you nesters! My c section is Friday, and I am having to force my nesting so I clean the house before the surgery. I know I won't be doing any cleaning for a few weeks after! It is taking all I have to do it. I got about half way through cleaning the bathroom and then decided it was nap time... Seems good to me, haha!

Numajawara

Just came from my appointment and I'm sad I'll be 40 weeks on Thursday and my doc checked me today and I am completely closed . she said I'll most likely have to be induced ... We set up the date for next Friday 6:30am but hopefully my baby will surprise me and show up before that. I don't want to wait till 41 weeks

@babydoll1008 congratulations!!!! I'm jealous !!! Lol

smccall3838

Thoughts and prayers @Numajawara. Next Friday is plenty of time for baby and your body to cooperate.

Numajawara

@smccall3838 thank you so much and that's true I hope my body cooperates so I don't have to be induced. My first son came on his own so I'm a lil upset, hopefully she'll surprise me!!

lovermyboys

I had a c section so the 6 week rule is not totally strict for me. Well DH and I broke it on day 10! I could take it! I just feel so close to him and everything about him turns me on. I'm kind of worried now, what if I got pregnant?! Is that even possible? Oh man! I mean whatever happens happens but having two kids 9 months apart would be uh...hectic?

tabbiekat13

Just left the doctor's office and her exact words were: "Wow that baby's low, you poor girl. Some sex, spicy food or walking will have it out in no time" lol

oneblessedmess

So update on that king bed we got yesterday- I slept GLORIOUSLY, had so much room and DH's hot body wasn't sprawled on me lol. I don't know why we waited so long to upgrade!

In other news, it's my first official day off from work. I think I was productive- Mailed two packages for two other couple friends of ours who are also having babies, made 20 freezer meals, and finally found a pediatrician I like that's close by. Success!

I'm jealous! One week down, 5 to go. That's like a year to me. Lol

ssnyder016

I was so lazy all morning and then when I realized DH's birthday is tomorrow I kicked into gear! He works late tomorrow so I figured we would do a nice dinner tonight. Presents wrapped, Apple bourbon pork is smelling awesome in the slow cooker, homemade ice cream cake is solidifying in the freezer and deviled eggs (his favorite, I can't stand them) are in the fridge! Where did that energy come from!

mers90

WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO COME OUT MRS BABY?!?! OMG! I'm not tiered of being pregnant, I'm tiered of waiting!!!!!!!!!!! I'm seriously sitting at my son's guitar lessons about to cry because I can't believe I'm 39+4 and still pregnant with not one tiny sign that I'll go into labour anytime soon.

mrsrep123

@babydoll1008 Ahhh, finally.. GOOD LUCK and keep us updated!!!
