Can I whine for a second?

Ok so I just hit 37 weeks today, and I didn't think that becoming full term would magically make me a ton more uncomfortable.

But I'm pretty sure my baby just dropped, like today, and I am feeling very annoying pressure in my pelvic area.  

Ugh.  

And I'm walking around all day subbing- so I am just feeling done for the day.  I need to take a bubble bath when I get home.

 

Thanks for letting me vent.

Man, I feel for you!  The 37 mark is a tough one, and unfortunately the next few weeks will probably seem very slow.  Take it easy and definitely take that bath!

Oh I feel ya!!!  I can completely understand!  And I think your bubble bath idea sounds awesome!!  DH just scrubbed ours out today so I think it's a sign that I should spend an hour in it tonight!!

I take a bath every single night, it is the only time my body isn't sore or uncomfortable.  Of course DH has to help me out of the bathtub, but whatever. 

Take a nice bath, read a good book while you're in there and hopefully you will feel a little better.  Hopefully baby will be here soon!

They should never tell you that 37 weeks = full term, because you automatically start feeling done. It's like the day you hit that mark, you start scheming up ways to get the baby out of you. You stop, ponder, and feel every ache and pain. I swear, it makes the wait so much harder. I wonder, if we all were led to believe that it is 40+ weeks, no exception, if we would keep on trucking through the next three weeks, unphased. It totally sucks. I hope you feel better soon mama. I am so excited to see your little girl, and hear your story. I feel like Laurel is part of my bumpie family already!

(And this is coming from a girl whose DS was born on his EDD, not early, not late. I know your pain!)

Oh man, I totally know it!  I mean, I feel insane for thinking I might be in labor!

Conversation with Myself goes like this:

Me: You are 37 weeks today.  There is no way that you are actually in labor.

Me: But I'm pretty sure these are contractions!

Me: You're probably just wishing them upon yourself.

Me: But what about that mucus plug?

Me: People lose their plug and don't go into labor right away all the time.

Me: Yeah, you're right, but just in case, I should ask my bump family and start packing my bags.

 

So, if anything, at least I'm getting my bags packed.

I hope I replied in time for your curfew, Knemo!
