Weekly Randoms 12/28

Hey y’all! Kinda missed the Monday weekly check-in, but still want to start a weekly thread to keep in touch.

You know how the week between Christmas and New Years can be so weird? It feels extra this year because it’s the last week before my due date. I feel stuck in limbo. Last night was a low point, but this morning I was reminded to live in the moment and carpe diem. It was the jolt I needed to keep myself going. Just keep swimming, ladies!!

@katepattsea sorry I meant to post a weekly check-in Monday and completely forgot.  I know what you mean though I have three weeks until I get induced and I'm really starting to freak out now.  I'm having trouble sleeping at night.  I just sit up and my mind is racing.  Also having a lot of pain and cracking in my pubic bone.  Hope your Christmas went well.  Mine did minus staying up until 2AM because I just don't sleep anymore.  I also can't eat a meal.  I can snack on things here and there but if I try to eat a full meal my stomach feels so tight and uncomfortable.

@katepattsea -how are you feeling about the induction? 
@lizzie_30

Definitely right there on the sleeping.. it's so uncomfortable 😫 & I've had to limit my fluid intake at night, otherwise I'm up every 2-3 hours. Today we finally bought a bassinet !

@lizzie_30, totally not on you to start any threads or anything!! Omg the pubic bone pain is awful. Makes it so hard to move around in bed and just move around in life. Lol. I’m a little worried it’s gonna separate during labor.

@alexxajams, if I make it to the point of needing an induction, one week from now, 41 weeks, I’m going to ask for a C-section instead. I just have a feeling it would end in C-section anyway. I was given that option from the start due to a uterine surgery I had in Feb., so I think it’s an option on the table for me still.
