1.)I've had some mild contractions tonight, but they have stopped, however, I'm feeling a LOT of downward pressure. I also feel like I'm a little constipated.

2.) haven't lost it yet.

3.) Haven't had sex in about 2 weeks. I feel guilty and sorry for DH, but I just don't even feel like thinking about it right now. 

 4.) YES I'm ready to not be pregnant, however, I keep trying to tell myself that it's best for LO to come when she's ready, not when it's convenient for me. 

5.) I think I am in some respects, but I know that it will be challenging and am not sure that anyone is ever totally "ready" because you don't know what it's going to be like. 

I don't have a ticker- I am 38 weeks.

1) what kind of symptoms have you been experiencing lately? 

All over joint pain due to underneath the skin swelling.  I also developed some visible feet swelling yesterday.

2) have you lost your mucus plug yet?

What's that?  J/K - At my current rate I don't think it wants to come out.

3) are you still having sex?  if not, when was the last time (what week were you)?

Yes

4) are you ready for the pregnancy to be over with or are you enjoying these last few weeks?

I am enjoying the last few weeks.  I need to start doing some hardcore nesting though and pack my hospital bag.  I'm a slacker lately.

5) are you ready to be a mom?

No, because I am clueless of what to do with a baby.  I hope everyone is right when they say that your maternal insticts kick in.

3) are you still having sex?  if not, when was the last time (what week were you)? Yes, but holding off for two days... Had it this week, don;t want DS born tomorrow and now have company.  I'd rather have hom born on or after Monday.  So, sex again in Sundaty

daisy333

1) Lower back pain, heartburn... otherwise feel really good! 

2) I don't think so...had some questionable discharge earlier this week, but wasn't bloody, so I am not really sure if that was it or not. 

3) Yes

4) Everyone tells me to enjoy my quiet time now while I can, but I can't wait for the baby to get here!

5)  I hope so!

Heather1230

1. Back pain and serious cramping (does lack of sleep count?)

2. Don't think so, just lots of discharge

3. Sadly it's been a few weeks, but tonight I will (poor DH!)

4. Ugh, I'm so ready for this to be over with. I'm not one of those who loves being pregnant. (More power to those who do...)

5. Can you ever really be ready? I think I'm as ready as I'll be until she gets here. :-) Can't wait though!

backache, occasional real contraction, lots of Braxton Hicks, hormonal overload, generally achiness.

2) have you lost your mucus plug yet?

I think its been coming out in parts

3) are you still having sex?  if not, when was the last time (what week were you)?

Not having sex, considering it, had it last at 38 weeks (but not for awhile before that!)

Depends on the day.  Some days I'm so uncomfortable that I'm ready, other days I feel pretty good and as if I can wait a bit.

3) are you still having sex?  if not, when was the last time (what week were you)?

still trying to have sex...anything to get things moving

I'm pretty much done with being pregnant...I'm incredibly uncomfortable and I think I get grumpier every day

kimsy

1) what kind of symptoms have you been experiencing lately? Major heartburn, swelling in fingers and feet, period-like cramps (timeable, but they always stop within a couple of hours)

2) have you lost your mucus plug yet? I think little bits and pieces, but I'll be honest--I don't really look for it.

3) are you still having sex?  if not, when was the last time (what week were you)? Yes. But mostly for my husband's sake and because I know there will be a drought when LO comes.

4) are you ready for the pregnancy to be over with or are you enjoying these last few weeks? YES--but I just learned that my insurance covers more of my hospital bill if I deliver after 6/23, so now I am ok with it if she stays in there a couple more days.

5) are you ready to be a mom? Couldn't be more ready. I can't wait to meet her.

39 Weeks today....

1. Nauseous the past week, bad stomach aches the past 3-4 days. My feet have been swelling a lot more this week-probably heat/humidity related though. Other than that, feeling ok.

2. No losing of my MP yet

3. We've fooled around but not actual sex-I forget when the last time was

4. A little of both-when I get the bad nausea/stomach aches I'm ready to be done. But I'm enjoying the time I can with DH too.

5. As ready as I'm going to be!

For the first time in over 4 months just yesterday!

duckee88

1) what kind of symptoms have you been experiencing lately? 

swollen feet nothing else

2) have you lost your mucus plug yet?

yes

3) are you still having sex?  if not, when was the last time (what week were you)?

sometimes

4) are you ready for the pregnancy to be over with or are you enjoying these last few weeks?

A little bit of both. I am ready for it to be over because I want to meet her but I am enjoying these last few weeks with my SO

5) are you ready to be a mom?

I actually think so. although I still doubt somethings

1) More cramping and BHs than normal, but honestly it might be more due to the evil internal I had yesterday than being 38 weeks. The cramps don't come with a hard belly, so I don't think they're really contractions, but the BHs are definitely tummy tightening. Still tired, but some of the discomfort from the past few weeks has waned.?

2) No clue. Internal brought on a bunch of brownish discharge, but I really couldn't say if it was MP or just "stuff." I'm not very diligent about checking TP or anything for MP either, so, no idea.?

3) No. Haven't the entire pregnancy for various reasons. I certainly wouldn't be having any now regardless, DH and I both figure it would be awkwardly uncomfy.

4) In between. I would not say I'm enjoying this time, but I'm not overly antsy about him coming out either. We're not really house-prepared yet.

5) Yes. I wouldn't have intentionally gotten pregnant if I wasn't. ?

LianeL

1.  Nausea, lots of BH, acid reflux

2.  Nope

3.  Nope, not in the last two weeks

4.  Nope, I'm enjoying being off of work and getting some stuff done

5.  I hope so, but I don't think I "get it" yet.

GL to everyone!~
