37 weeks!

battymama2018

Where are all my remaining mom's at? 
Any of y'all getting Braxton Hicks yet? Or lose your mucus plug? Anyone started to nest?
No on all those for me but I'm so ready to hold my baby finally (been dreading it bc I felt like my first needed all the time left for one on one time). The excitement of baby has finally arrived

38 weeks tomorrow! My nesting has been prepping meals, 10 in the freezer so far. But cleaning hasn't been an urge yet. This past week has been exhausting for me; I'm nauseous in the morning so back to eating saltiness and then when I get home from work I literally have to lay down for 1/2-1 hour because I'm sore and nauseous. Hoping to do some cleaning, baby clothes laundry and pack hospital bag later today & tomorrow. We are getting close, ladies!

@battymama2018, I'm getting excited to hold my baby too!

39 weeks today! I have lost a piece of my mucous plug a few weeks ago and have been dilated to 1cm since 35 weeks! I have BH all the time but they haven’t helped me progress any

37 weeks here too!! No real indicators of being close to labor other than the baby being low. Nesting like freaking CRAZY and trying to clean and organize as much of my house as possible before d-day  I went at 38 weeks 4 days last time so its messing with my head making me think that I'll absolutely go early again. Or horror of horrors, even earlier

I got made at the freezer meal stuff and just bought a bunch of premade freezer meals & pizzas instead xD oh and canned soup.
Eck I'm sorry about getting nauseous again that's one of me least favorite things about being pregnant. I've just got heartburn so tumms are life. Check out the hospital bag discussion board on here if you need ideas of what to pack.

@mrsmtothek lol I'm hoping mine will be earlier then last time. Was 40 weeks exactly but good news I started getting Braxton Hicks today so maybe I'll get luck and have this baby at 39 weeks

I'm just so worried about the potential complications of an early term delivery. That, and selfishly, I have so much I'd like to get done before this little one arrives But I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL just to mess with my head and go against all that I've read about subsequent labor patterns, that this baby will stay put until 40 weeks lol.

@mrsmtothek
I'm convinced I'm going to go into labor in mother's day xD just cause that's my luck.
Your far enough along that nothing crazy should happen to baby and for all you know you were almostafull term last time and they just got the date wrong last time.

Still around! 37 weeks and waiting patiently. I've had Braxton Hicks. The baby is really low and I've been feeling pretty uncomfortable - counting my lucky stars I've had minimal swelling and such, but everything else is so uncomfortable. 

We have a bunch of freezer meals just made: Taco Soup, Lasagna, Stuffed Shells, White Chicken Chili, and a few bags of marinated chicken with broccoli. We have such a big to-do list that we've been slowly crossing out from. Come on baby! I would say that I'm so ready to relax with my newborn at home, but we also have a 2 year old, so this will be interesting!

My C-section is scheduled for next Thursday. I have been getting braxton hicks and real contractions every day now. I have been nesting since March especially with a toddler around and so many toys and old baby items that i needed to sort through.

You're doing better then on those freezer meals I gave up on the idea when I started trying to make a grocery list for them lol.
I'm in the same boat got a 2 year old that I'm unsure if he understands what is about to happen.

Battymama2018 what will we do?!?! I remember the first time relaxing so much with baby - we'd sit for two hour stretches while she slept and I held her and read a book or watched a movie... There will be none of that this time!

I know. We thought we had it so hard 

battymama2018

Haha right sleep when baby sleeps isn't even an option now

38 week check-in today. Not dilated yet. I can't believe how swollen my feet and ankles are!!!! I'm hoping to either have her by my due date or a little sooner. I'm ready for pregnancy to be over!

Ftm, but I feel for you ladies that have more lil ones at home. I couldn't even imagine!!!!

I'm also getting giddy with excitement about baby coming, just can't wait to be his mom! I haven't had any Braxton Hicks just some mild af type cramps under my belly. But that was 2-3 nights and nothing since. I think I've had two episodes of small amounts of plug coming out and I think it was tinged brown this morning. But I honestly think I'm weeks away from labour. 

Definitely feel for you STM+ mamas!

Man. I have really bad spd and I am just (selfishly, I know) hoping she comes early. 38 weeks today. Everything has become so hard and painful to do! I get Braxton hicks every day multiple times a day and sometimes I get af type cramps, but no labor yet. It wouldn't be so bad if only I could sleep! >~<

I think everyone kinda wants the baby to come around 38 weeks lol. I'm ready for my little one but I'm almost 39 weeks so not looking like he's coming till this weekend or later. Just do the best you can to relax take a bath or read or whatever calms you. Heck nest and clean till you can't clean anymore to keep from thinking about how many more days are left that's what I've been doing.
For the pain maybe take some mellow pain prescription that's pregnancy safe before bed.

I lost my mucus plug last night, and have been having contractions for the last 4 1/2 hours. I am ready to meet my baby.
