End of the month mommas

fishwife799

Here is the place for those of us who are due at the end of the month to whine and complain about how everyone is having their beautiful babies before we do  

goldie987

I love seeing pictures of the snuggly babies but damn, it makes me want mine here already.  I'll join the whining whole heartedly! 

purplefan1

Yes!! Love this!

fishwife799

Yup @GoldenmamaJ! I turn a little green every time I see another baby born. I'm due the 29th so I still have a ways. 

mamabird24

When I hadn't been on in awhile and saw there were something like 6 new posts on the baby announcement thread, I about lost it.  I'm due the 20th and my kids are all stubborn so I just know it'll be then or later that she decides to come. 

But I love seeing the new squishes!!  Makes me so excited!!

Ditto!  I'm due on the 21st. Seems like a long ways away but not really. Lol.

I'm due the 20th...but my babies always come late:(

And to add to the festivities, we literally just decided to buy a house/move this week (long story, but this is plan B and we need to move now) so now I'm looking at going into contract, closing on a house, and moving within the next several weeks. 

We're getting power of attorney documents so that if I'm in labor and/or still in the hospital, our lawyer can sign for one or both of us...

Plus laryngitis to top things off.  My husband thinks it's very sexy.  There's absolutely nothing sexy about being 9 months pregnant and sick.  Sorry honey - this isn't sexy time.

@rosehip15 ask your realtor if they can use docusign. It's an app that lets you sign paperwork while still being encrypted. That's how we did most of our paperwork for our house a few years ago.

And I feel you on the house. I'm due June 16 and just listed my house yesterday to move cross country later this summer. So far buying a house is a lot less work than selling one.

Due June 22 and it doesn't seem like far away but does all at the same time. I got the side eye from my OB this morning when Iay have "jokingly" asked what we could do to get this shit moving. Honestly, I don't really mind being pregnant. I've actually really liked it for the most part (some stuff not so fun). The gestational diabetes has been the biggest struggle in terms of wanting to eat good stuff but needing to behave myself. The OB apparently didn't think my dire need for sushi and a cookie cake fit "medical necessity" for inducing labor......he must have missed that day in class in medical school. Cookie cakes are ALWAYS a medical necessity. I can make it a couple more weeks I just REALLY WANT TO MEET MY LITTLE PERSON! 

peaceinnature

I'm due between the 12th-14th depending on if you believe my dates (which I'm sure of) or my 10 week ultrasound.  BUT I'm not expecting this baby to come early or even on time. DS was 15 days past due and it sucked waiting so I'm trying so hard not to get too excited too soon.  It's not really working though I feel bored and antsy and I just want to meet my brand new little guy!

Bee112309

I'm not due until the 23rd, and had to be induced at 41 weeks with my last one (I was attempting a VBAC, so my OB wouldn't allow me to go any later). I will be really bitter if this happens again, is another 35 hour labor, and I wind up with a July baby.

alitria

I'm not due until the 28th, my son was born at 34 weeks and I'm desperately hoping to make it to 38 weeks/June 14th which is my last day of school.  I feel like it could be anywhere in between so I'm trying to balance being ready and getting excited then feeling like I'm waiting forever. 

Knottie44691675

I'm due on the 24th and am super torn between being so ready to be done with the mass amounts of pain and needing more time to get things ready! Our car broke down a couple days ago and we've been waiting FOREVER to hear from military housing on switching houses because ours has black mold and bug problems. I feel so impatient to meet this little girl but I keep trying to remind myself that I definitely don't want to bring her in this house and would like to have a car to get to the hospital lol I also have this weird feeling she'll either be early because of symptoms I've been having or she's stubborn and will be super late! I can't imagine her being on time for some reason. 

jennk0118

I'm due the 19. If at my appointment on Tuesday shows no change whatsoever with my cervix, I'm scheduling a csection for the 14. I'm done being pregnant and I want my baby girl. 

egirl1025

I am due 6/28 and will definitely cry if this turns out to be a July baby!!  I am so ready to actually witness all the cute stuff he is currently doing inside me on the outside...and see his little face.  At this point I am not even nervous about the inevitable pain...I just want to see him.  Had my first cervix check on Wednesday and absolutely nothing has happened yet...good since I am 36 weeks and he has a little baking time to do, but hope it doesn't mean anything more than that, like he will wait until the last possible moment to come.  On a side note, my original OB left to have her baby just minutes before my appt. on Wednesday, so I now have a new OB.

StayingFocused

I'm due the 27th.  I'm already 2cm dilated and 50% effaced.  I know this doesn't mean early but I was an early baby so I'm just playing the waiting game.  I'm still working too but only half days now.  

fishwife799

Like I said before I'm due the 29th. My first came at 40+2 and my second came at 39+3 so I'm hoping this one comes around 39. I know there's a chance he won't so I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it's hard. I'm already showing some progress and he is sitting really low so maybe??? 

notsoblissylissy

Due the 30th I have a feeling that she is enjoying her stay too much. She hasn't dropped and my uterus has done zero prep work. She will be a September baby somehow  

jmd921154

June 24th. End of month Mommas unite. Glad to know I'm not the only one!!!

MistKeeper

Due the 22nd. My brother had his on the 1st and we're far apart, so I stare at cute pictures of my niece, feel adorable-but-often-uncomfortable bouncing in my belly and long for a baby I can actually hold. 

huskypuppy14

Guys I was a late June mama (due the 25) but had my baby on the 2nd (water broke, c section due to frank breech). He's a little early but absolutely perfect. You could have your baby earlier than expected. We weren't quite ready for him this early but it's all good. Enjoy the time you have left and pack your bags if you haven't already!

MynaBird

I am by no means ready for the baby to be here (like, maybe I should wash some clothes and get out the pack n play at least), but I had my first painful contraction while I was at the hospital for my NST/AFI today, and I will admit there was a part of me that wished the nurse would tell me I needed to stay. 

alcermack

I'm due the 28th but c section is scheduled for the 21st due to her being super breeched and not much fluid. Had a false alarm today practice run to the hospital. At my NST she refused to move and didn't keep her heart rate up so the nurse and my dr said for me to head to labor and delivery for closer observation and possible delivery. But 10 mins on their monitors she was fine doing everything normal and exactly what she should. I guess she just wanted to go over there and meet everyone before the big day. 

mimi_8607

I'm due the 26th. I had my first 4 days early so I have that in my head. I'm going to be really disappointed if I go over. At 36 week appt I was 1 1/2 cm dilated and she was engaged in the pelvis. Dr said she could see her coming early. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. I'm trying to enjoy the last few weeks since this will probably be my last pregnancy. Hang in there ladies! We will get there.

Soverthis

Due the 24th. Love seeing all the cuties being born. I have been fortunate to have a really healthy and happy pregnacy but I am starting to get a wee bit uncomfortable now! I am ready to meet this little girl anytime she is ready! I really don't want to wait until July!

I appreciate that your experience was different, but I would kindly suggest not saying "enjoy the time you have left" to a group of 37+ weeks pregnant women. (Especially when you're cuddling your LO and we're still marooned on the island)

I'm due the 29th. I am so ready, well not really, not even close, but baby is not. I'm hoping for anytime after June 20th, I want him healthy and fully "cooked".

jmohio

I am due the 22nd and this pregnancy has taken everything I have. I ended up with GD, SPD, gallbladder issues and I am just exhausted. Seeing these babies makes me so jealous. My doc told me if Abigail was to come today there would be no worry so it is just a waiting game.

**What the crap, bump. I wrote a whole reply and all you post is the quote?!? And now you stick me in the box?**

Solidarity. Due the 22nd as well with SPD and GD. No gallbladder issues because I had mine taken out 10 years ago (no gall bladder can make diarrhea more likely. Sucks) but have a kidney stone!

Want to snuggle all the babies. And mine is making no movement to really come out right now. I had to basically roll out of the car just a bit ago because my groin hurts so bad and then watch my family eat delicious ice cream. Not mad, just really to hold my baby and not have a crotch that feels like someone took a sledgehammer to it. Ice cream would taste pretty good right now as well.....

I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone. We really were not prepared to go this early though. My word choice was poor.

kaitielynnrichardson

I'm due the 17th.  going to the doctor monday for my first dilation check.  i am hoping the process has already begun and this little boy comes sooner than later.  it was 101* today.  I am all set with being pregnant

purplefan1

Last night I was in so much pain and so uncomfortable I thought for sure I was working my way up to labor. My pelvis felt like it was split in half and hurt to move, my braxton Hicks contractions have gotten more frequent and now take my breath away for a minute, and the pressure in my pelvis is unreal. Woke up this morning and feel just fine now. It seems like every night lately ive been getting the same feelings but they pass by morning. Ugh.

little_bren

I'm due the 17th and I'm actually dying. I actually day dream about my water breaking. Comments from the peanut gallery (strangers, acquaintances, people I've never spoken to before, well-meaning friends...) are making the misery worse. Blahhhh

I'm due the 18th and I totally feel you. Someone looked at me yesterday and goes "you're gonna have a 10 pounder!".

Uhhh... Thanks?

mrsb8244

Yes! Due the 25th and we are nowhere near actually close to ready but I'm ready to meet him! We closed on our house this past Friday and are moving next weekend. I got a new job which I will start in August so I'd love for him to come sooner rather than later so I have more time with him before going back to work 

zanaerob1

I'm due the 24th but I'm actually kind of torn. 

I really REALLY don't want to go to far over my due date because I don't want to have to fight my OB about when I'll accept an induction. And I have days when I really want to meet her, and start our new family life!

But at the same time I'm not that uncomfortable, and I don't finish work until the end of this week, and I'd really like about a week after I finish to rest at home before the chaos starts! Aaargh.

roxygurljax

Due June 29th and this pregnancy has been difficult. I'm actually thinking about starting maternity leave today.  DD was a week early and I'm thinking DS will be too...if not more than a week.  Sigh...

purplefan1

I'm feeling frustrated today. Couldn't sleep again last night but now feel like a zombie today. And I'm feeling guilty for wanting the pregnancy to be done because I'm not 100% sure I'm ready to be a full time on demand mom for any one! I want to meet my little person so bad but I'm also terrified. I still just wish there was a magical way of knowing when this baby is coming (other than a scheduled csection or induction). Every day I wonder "will it happen today? When? Where will I be? What else do we need to get done before it happens?" The bh contractions are worse now then they have been but not consistent and not intensifying any further. And I know I should be more patient and aiming for at least 39 weeks of possible. So I feel guilt about wishing baby would come early. Grrrr.

@June2016BabyW  I hate not knowing too and after having a preemie with my first you'd think I'd be all zen like about waiting for this baby to get bigger and healthier but I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and after waking up yesterday to find he'd dropped down overnight and I now feel like I am trying to walk with a bowling ball between my legs, I have to pee all the time from the pressure, even when I know there's nothing there and I'm sweltering because we're having record setting temps with no AC and I'm not buying any more maternity clothes so trying to figure out what to wear to work is a problem and really, if I thought jumping jacks would help speed things along, I'd be tempted to try.  I'm in pain, I'm melting and I can't sleep for more than about 45 minutes at a time.  There is no zen to be found and I'm just about over the feeling guilty because I'm no longer capable of being rational.

I think I could have written this. I had a terrible time sleeping last night due to constant back pain. My legs today feel like I ran a marathon and I didn't almost nothing yesterday that should make them feel that way. I'm not even 37 weeks until Wednesday but I fell so done. then I feel guilty that I just want him to come already. I'm so with you on this one.
