Upcoming appointments this week? NST and midwife was yesterday and baby is now almost entirely engaged- she can feel his head- and cervix is soft but not dilated so progress. Have my BPP ultrasound Thursday
Any new symptoms or changes? awesome bad prodromal labor contractions that woke me up from sleep last night and were 3-5 min apart and even increased in frequency so we decided to go in and drop our daughter off at 3am only to find they are false labor and no cervical changes. So awesome. No I have no freaking clue what actual labor is and this is my second and I'm not supposed to hanging out at home for long when it does start due to rupture risk
Rants/Raves/Questions? I know I should have gone in and everyone say so but I still feel like an idiot for getting everyone up, wasting money we don't have on the trip, and just worried I may never go into actual labor before I have to schedule a c section.
GTKY: if you could have any super power what would it be and why?
right now- put myself into labor! But in reality I think healing would be an awesome super power. Just healing any ailment. What an amazing power that would be.
How far along are you? 35 weeks How big is baby? pineapple Upcoming appointments this week? Not this week. Next Wednesday we do a position check and GBS swab. Any new symptoms or changes? I had some pretty annoying contractions most of the night last night. Not regular or intensifying so I didn't think I was in labor. But my body is starting to prep I guess. Also, I feel like I can breathe better and my rib pain is better so I'm thinking baby girl may have descended a bit. Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: if you could have any super power what would it be and why? Know the future! Uncertainty stresses me out. I'm sorry it turned out to be a false alarm @JAM85. Hopefully not much longer for you edit: changed a typo

How far along are you? 37 weeks. Officially full term!
How big is baby? A tackle box or romaine lettuce
Upcoming appointments this week? 37 week appointment today

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just excited to meet this little guy! Still feel like I am not prepared, but I'm sure that will change. Also frustrating that we don't have a name picked out yet!
GTKY: if you could have any super power what would it be and why? To fly (quickly). I would be able to travel without having to go to the airport and wait in lines!
Upcoming appointments this week? Today! GBS swab and cervical check. Dilated 1cm and 60% effaced. I'm assuming it means I still ha e four weeks to go! Lol
Any new symptoms or changes? Braxon Hicks/Contractions all day for the past nine days. Nothing consistent though. Super uncomfortable in every position.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just received a jury duty summons for the week of my due date.
GTKY: if you could have any super power what would it be and why? Ability to read minds! Then I would know what my dh is actually thinking. Lol
How big is baby? According to the ultrasound I had on Wednesday, 7lb9oz
Upcoming appointments this week? every Wednesday until this giant arrives. My Dr got called out while I was in my ultrasound and was going to be gone for mostnod the day so they told me just to come back next week. I didn't even think about the GBS swab until just now reading your updates.
Any new symptoms or changes? my morning sickness is back in full force... so that's fun
Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby is definitely head down and my scar thickness looks great so everything is looking promising for a vbac!
GTKY: if you could have any super power what would it be and why? Teleporting without a question. My family lives 12 hours away and besides that I think it would be cool to just decided to have lunch in Spain today... then come home and sleep in my own bed. I'd need to be able to bring people with me too!
