in 3rd Trimester
The last 2 days, I've noticed a lot more pressure "down there" and find it a lot harder to walk... I'm waddling now. haha! LO has also been a lot more active and anytime I walk around or do anything physical (even very low-key) I get period like cramps and tons of BH contractions... I'm thinking she's not going to wait until her due date, but I'm just hoping she waits at least one more week. My goal for this next week is to get the house clean, make some freezer meals and get ready for our baby! Starting to get really excited! But since I think she's coming early, she'll probably be late! haha!

    Yeah... I thought my LO would come early too for a lot of the same reasons... and Yup... I'm still here! Maybe you will have you 37 week baby but I have a feeling you might have enough time to finish your stuff..

    I'm 32 weeks and have had ALL of that since about week 20... but I hope it means something for you!

    I always get my hopes up for everything... and I'm happy to say everything has always worked out for me! Although maybe not as soon as I'd hope or exactly the way I wanted, it has always worked out, so I'll keep my hopes up because it's fun to have something to be excited about!

    keep your hopes up-baby can come anytime in the next 1-5 weeks.

    Don't get your hopes up for an early baby.  I felt that way from about 35 weeks.  We were sure I wouldn't make my induction date at 39 weeks, but I did.

    sorry-being not so nice--i just remember being a first time mom and hoping my baby would come early or on time and she was 11 days late.  this time i have no expectations and actually plan on going late-keeps the emotions in better check.

    LOL. ?Parenthood = things not working out for you. ?

    I'd get your patience out, because you're going to drive yourself insane in the next 4-5 weeks.?

    I hate to break it to you, but at 36 weeks, I still had 7 weeks of pregnancy left. Don't get your hopes up for a preemie, please.  You don't really want that...

    I've been feeling that way for a few weeks myself. ?It's now to the point where I can't walk... I can barely get myself out of bed to get to the bathroom... and I still have 2 weeks.?

    I am only a couple days ahead of you and have been feeling all the stuff that you describe for the last couple of weeks. I just had my appt yesterday and had my first internal. The Dr. (who has decades of experience) told me that I am not dialated at all but baby is nice and low and my cervix is starting to soften and thin out. He specifically said not to expect a baby in the next couple of weeks and that he predicted I would be right on time. At first I was a little disappointed 'cause I kind of liked the idea of being done in a couple weeks. Now I figure if I prepare myself to go all the way and probably a little past my EDD if I am earlier by a couple days it will just be bonus!

    *sigh*

    I needed to read this and have a dose of tough love myself.  I too am kinda convinced that I'l go early too, but I know its wishful thinking. (But I honestly think that I am further along than the OB thinks I am, but I know, I know, they are the experts.)

    I am just glad that I've reached that stage that LO should be healthy whatever day she is born now!

    March 21, I find out how far along we are. :)
