Lightning crotch, heavy belly, sporadic BH.

Been pooping more these last couple of days and keep thinking maybe it means my body's clearing itself out for labor. But then I think nah, probably just poopin' time.
37 weeks; skunk, tackle box, honey dew
Baby-related happenings this week:
Appointment then US today, then installing another carseat
Rants/Raves/Symptoms?
Lack of sleep, contractions, general blah

I'm already dilated and I lost my mucus plug a week ago so I keep telling myself I'm making progress. My doctor thinks I'm two weeks ahead of schedule so I wouldn't mind if he came today or the next day! But on the other hand if my EDD of July 26th is correct then so be it.
37 weeks, romaine lettuce.
Baby-related happenings this week:
Finishing freezer meal prep, reusable diapers arrive this week, appt on Thursday.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms?
cramps most of the day, pelvic pressure, napping more than sleeping.
GTKY: Are you doing any labor symptom spotting lately? What keeps making you think "Maybe it's happening soon?" Or are you pretty relaxed about when you'll go into labor?
I think the pelvic pressure is hopefully a sign that it's happening soon as well as the cramps. I wish I could have like a clear sign, but I'm only 37 weeks so I'm still trying to stay calm about going into labor.
How many weeks? Size/comparable fruit/object?
38 weeks, a spaghetti squash.
Baby-related happenings this week:
Weekly appointment on Friday and getting what I hope is my last pedicure before baby. Also, the nursery is totally done, I'm packed for th hospital, and all the baby gear is put together. Just need to install the base.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms?
Prodromal labor and pain in my groin when I walk. But I'm still feeling good and officially part time at work so I can't complain.

Prodromal labor keeps me on my toes. But according to my doctor absolutely nothing is going on so I'm easily looking at another couple weeks.
Size of a Red Panda
Baby-related happenings this week:
Appt Thursday. I plan to ask what my induction options are.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms?
I was hoping that going over my Edd by 6 days last time was a FTM thing, not just an "I gestate excessively" thing. Nope, I just offer a luxury womb I guess

I've accepted the fact I will be pregnant forever
Rants: wish my ankles/legs would stay as small as they are in the morning...hoping I have made more progress at my cervical check Thursday.
Raves: was 1cm/60% last Thursday and had absolutely no progress with my DD until a day before I hd her at 41w....I am NOT a fan of doing that again.
Symptoms: only BH which I didn't have with my last pregnancy.
Baby-related happenings this week: Nothing really except hopefully birth. I had my weekly checkup today and my cervix is still long and closed, but she said it's a little anterior, which hopefully means something? Also my belly is measuring ahead. Next week I have to have a non-stress test along with my regular checkup.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms? Frequent trips to the bathroom especially at night (3-4 times), stabbing pains in the vagina, lots of BH contractions, some of them pretty regular and some not so much. Sore hips and lower back. General crankiness and inability to deal with stupid questions.
GTKY: Are you doing any labor symptom spotting lately? What keeps making you think "Maybe it's happening soon?" Or are you pretty relaxed about when you'll go into labor? Oh yes! As listed above, I don't have any "real" symptoms, but I have many dumb ones. The other day I woke up at 5:45am on my day off thinking about washing crib sheets. I attributed this to nesting and thought I'd go into labor that day. Nope. Also my cat has been super cuddly, which is really how he's been for the past few weeks. Still no mucus plug or real contractions though so I feel like I'm still a long ways off.
39! A mini skateboard. Super weird. Also 39 sounds like a crazy high number! I can't believe it!
Baby-related happenings this week:
Had my weekly appointment today. It was the quickest one yet. I secretly think that the midwives really CAN tell you when you are going to go into labor just by feel (no cervical checks at my practice) but don't want to say anything.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms?
Somehow Saturday night I slept for 10 hours without waking up or going pee. I have no idea how this happened but I have been replaying the moment when I wake up feeling so refreshed in my mind since then.
GTKY: Are you doing any labor symptom spotting lately? What keeps making you think "Maybe it's happening soon?" Or are you pretty relaxed about when you'll go into labor?
I think I would be more relaxed if people stopped bothering me about when I am going to go into labor. I also hate the saying "he'll come when he's ready!" Yes, I know... I am symptom spotting but know deep down it really isn't anything yet.
Baby-related happenings this week: OB appointment on Thursday, then my non-stress test and a growth scan on Friday (both because of my GD). Not gonna lie; I'm really hoping to get some news that I'm progressing...
Rants/Raves/Symptoms? I have hit a wall where I just want this baby out of me. Now. I know he's still got some growing and developing to do, and I don't want to take that away. But I'm tired and uncomfortable and just want to have my baby already!
GTKY: Are you doing any labor symptom spotting lately? What keeps making you think "Maybe it's happening soon?" Or are you pretty relaxed about when you'll go into labor? My EDD is July 26, but if I haven't gone on my own by the night of 24th/early morning 25th, I'll be induced. It seems SO far away! Plus, I have some fears about inductions so I am REALLY hoping he decides to come before then, but this kid shows zero signs that he cares at all about my timeline. I have had like, one or two contractions this entire pregnancy, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't even dropped yet. At my last check, my cervix was still closed but extremely soft, which made me hopeful for about a minute. I keep sitting around waiting for something to happen, and it's driving me crazy. DH keeps saying that for the sake of my mental health, I need to get out and do something. He's probably right, but then again, he has no idea how tiring/painful it can be to "get out and do something."
Baby happenings: Appointment for foot rash, ultrasound then regular appointment
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rage the bump ate my post and I have to retype. General crankiness and a lot of aching parts
GTKY: I'm on the look out but other than a lot of poop no sign what so ever. This baby is comfortable
How many weeks? Size/comparable fruit/object? 39! TB tells me LO is the size of a pumpkin... and I'd say that is pretty accurate based on how giant I feel today.
Baby-related happenings this week: I have an appointment scheduled tomorrow afternoon... I believe I'll be discussing induction dates with my doctor in case this guy doesn't decide to come on his own before/on his due date. Today we're having one of the windows replaced in the nursery, and that's the last big project in there. Otherwise I just need to organize the nursery closet (it was our linen closet), set up the monitors, pull the car seat bases out of the attic and install in our vehicles, and organize space for bottles in the kitchen. I'm hopeful that I can knock out these last few items in the next two evenings!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms? My belly feels SO HEAVY... and the pelvic pain at night sucks balls. But... other than feeling huge, I don't know that I can complain all that much!
GTKY: Are you doing any labor symptom spotting lately? What keeps making you think "Maybe it's happening soon?" Or are you pretty relaxed about when you'll go into labor? With all the mention of passing mucus plugs, I have been checking each time I wipe. I've also been noticing cramps and gas more, wondering if contractions are soon to follow. While I think I'm prepared, I also don't mind if LO waits until his due date... I'm trying to make the most of these last few days while DS is my only child! LO will come when he's good and ready.
Baby-related happenings this week: - Doing the last bit of preparation for the LO to arrive. Had an appointment today and it all went great!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms? - BH, pelvic pain and lots of back pain.
GTKY: Are you doing any labor symptom spotting lately? What keeps making you think "Maybe it's happening soon?" Or are you pretty relaxed about when you'll go into labor? - Mostly the random bouts of contractions make me think "ooo maybe!?" and then I take a nap and they stop for several hours lol.
