@GG620 first of all FLY EAGLES FLY! For the love of all things football, I am so glad y'all won!!!!! And I totally get where you're coming from. When the Astros won the World Series last year, it was ridiculous. Look into any alternate routes. Thankfully I was already at the hospital and not far along to think about it
I haven't gotten emotional in the crying sense just emotional in the leave me the eff alone sense. Especially people at work. It's been an ongoing thing the past 2 months but it's getting worse and I want to punch people. Haha at my OB office now, going to ask about my increase in discharge.
@cford08 - thinking of you! Hope everything is coming together!
Woke up with increased discharge almost leaky and barely any movement this morning. Had my routine 36 week appointment and talked with the OB. They did an NST and thankfully 1/2 way through baby started moving like crazy again. The OB thinks the baby was laying on my bladder which is why I was feeling little leaks and was constantly in the bathroom this morning. Just glorious here coming in the home stretch. Also 1 cm dilated now at 36w and my previous 2 pregnancies didn’t dilate at all until 39 weeks. I know that doesn’t mean much, but I’m hoping this baby stays put for at least another 4 weeks and ideally 5!
@GG620 yayyyy another eagles fan!!! I can't even tell you how many times people told me on Sunday to be careful not to go into labor getting too excited!!! I'm sad I can't go to the parade but I just don't see how fighting those massive crowds would be a good situation.... If it does happen, at least you'll have a really good story They have emergency routes available. Me, i'm going to hold it against my daughter her whole life that I missed the parade I waited 35 years for due to her impending arrival

Are many of you already getting cervical checks? How many weeks are you? I think I got my first one at 38 weeks with my first, but I’m suspicious my OB wants to start at 36 weeks. I’m thinking about asking her if I can wait until 38 weeks before checks.
@missnc77 if you don’t want one, turn it down. Cervical checks and dilation are no indication of when you will actually go into labor and personally I don’t like them. They are tempting and also a mindf*ck. ((Repeats to myself: cervical checks and dilation are no indication of when I will go into labor. Cervical checks and dilation are no indication of when I will go into labor. Lol.))
@mdfarmchick Oh, I know. Which is exactly why I don't want the amount of pain this early. I had to go back and look through my family updates with #1 for something, and I saw on 5/4 I told them I may as well be Fort Knox. I remember I had a check that day, and I was 0 cm dilated at 38 weeks (didn't give them that level of detail - ha!). In that same email chain on 5/6 my husband sent a picture of our new baby girl. So much for being Fort Knox.
@missnc77 I had one with my LnD field trip, but none regularly. I don't think my delivering OB wants to mess with my cervix until my cerclage is gone!
@mdfarmchick girl, that trip lit a fire under me I haven't seen in a long time. I've gotten so much stuff done in this last 24 hours....and I plan on being up for a while longer to get through my list....not like I'm sleeping much these days anyway
I’m trying to get my life together too. Lots of cramping and contractions yesterday and last night. So finally packing a hospital bag since it feels like there’s a bowling ball between my legs. Hoping to get a few more things done before these ramp up too much.
After feeling like a complete mombie for the past few weeks, I woke up this morning with so much energy. I've done ALL of the cleaning today. I'm sure I'll regret this later this evening but oh well. Taking little breaks when I feel some contractions. They're still very mild and not close together and I'm overrrr it lol
Oh yay, 2 more births!!! I'm glad all seems well with both so far. @cford08 Well *try* not to stress too much as you get your life together lol. @mdfarmchick When is your next appt? Or are you going to L&D?
@missnc77 My cervix checks were supposed to start today at 34 weeks but I had them twice already b/c issues. (everything is all closed though yay!). I have condition that makes me more prone to preterm labor. I think I get my GBS swab today too hurrah.

I was woken up last night a few times from not breathing. Now today I feel like I have such a hard time breathing. It feels like I ate too much food and can't breathe but I most definitely haven't. I'm actually hungry. Baby isn't in my lungs, she's dropped a bit a ways down. And she has intense hiccups and is moving a lot!
Should I be concerned about this? Or am I just getting larger by the day lol
@crossfitbabybump Although a bit of apnea toward the end of a pregnancy might not mean anything, if I were you I'd call your doctor just to be super safe.
I’ve been having some sensitivity issues since yesterday- our border collie reared up onto her hind legs and knocked into my belly with her front paws (below the belly button but above my hips) and now today, some of the baby’s kicks have been quite painful. I’m trying really hard to not be one of those moms who call the OB for every twinge of pain and the baby’s been moving normally, but it’s just quite painful at times and the kicks don’t usually bother me. I have my next scheduled appointment on Monday. Would you give it another day to see if it subsides or go ahead and at least call?
I don’t post a lot on here, nothing like I did with my first, but I have been such a zombie the last couple days when I get home from work. My first was so small I never felt Braxton Hicks, or even felt super uncomfortable. With this baby boy, I’m feeling Braxton Hicks all the time! Tonight I’ve been googling to make sure I’m not having full blown contractions. Which I don’t think I am, just being a baby about it. I forgot how much reading about other ladies who are in the same boat helps ease the mind! I will definitely be posting more!!!
@muggle621 got checked at L&D and decided to labor at home for longer. Doc says baby within 24 hours? We’ll see. I’m pretty tired right now so I’m going to try to nap.
Woo @mdfarmchick!! I feel like an idiot but I have this urge to bounce and clap and just say “baby” over and over again. I love that we’re in this phase when the births are starting to roll in.

@BrittnieMariee totally with you on the emotions. I've been crying at the littlest things!!!
