The most action I have gotten in 3 months...

Today I had my first internal. Not as horrible as I was expecting, no pain, not comfortable, but not painful (I did have a lady doc do it though).

I am not dilated at all. I could barely hide my disappointment. Baby's head down though, so cross your fingers she stays that way.  I texted DH after to let him know the lack of news and he was so sweet. He said "Just remember what the doctor said, every day she is inside you is better for her." I almost cried on the spot, I felt SO selfish for wanting her to come out, and I told him he needs to keep reminding me because I am losing my resolve.

Then I got home and SIL called to chat, seeing "How are you feeling?" Tired and lazy, swollen and uncomfortable. "Really? I had so much energy when I was pregnant, I was so skinny. Are you watching your sodium intake?" Are you serious? I'm eating no different than I always have. Do spaghetti and toaster strudels have high sodium?

Now I'm sitting on my couch eating KFC and drinking Dr. Pepper, I might nap too.

IDK the point of this post, I'm just bored.

Ahh Im sorry you had no progress. I know it doesnt mean much but I think it is a little bit of a mental boost to hear that your body is doing what it is supposed to. I will be soo bummed if I have no progress or even an internal at my 38w appt.

Dont you love when perky pregnant people rub it in your face? Ive had a bad week, so uncomfortable and sore and everybody comments on it... Ugh

I dont know how long its been since Ive had a Dr Pepper I rarely ever drink soda but thats actually sounding pretty good right now!

You know I'm very happy for all those ladies that seem to have bodies that adjusted well to pregnancy.

I wasn't one of them and It sure would be nice if they'd stop rubbing it in our faces.

Clearly we must be doing something wrong because we can't run a marathon in our third trimester.

I know how you feel about wanting your LOout. I had an appointment today and I'm 4 cm but they just said come back next week. I was so bummed that they didn't give me more info about what would happen if he doesn't come on his own. My DF had to remind me "he's in there for a reason..it's not even your due date yet" ugh. I know I'm being selfish! Waiting is just so hard at this point! Enjoy your KFC and I hope your LO comes soon!

The last weeks are the worst. I had an internal yesterday...NOTHING. I could have swore I would be at least 1cm..if not 2. So disappointing..but OB did suggest induction on the 21st if nothing by then. I will be 40 wks on Tues.

Dont worry about the SIL..at this point...I think everyone who asks how you are feeling is annoying..nice gesture but its like.."oh I feel fantastic..like my old self..I sleeep great, i have so much energy, bending over is a breeze.." and so on

I just ate a cheeseburger as big as my head I am sure..and did not stop at the fries..with gravy..seriously in pain..bad idea.  i never eat stuff like this but today...it had to be done!!

I love you all, you make me feel like I'm not alone.

It sucks that you don't have any progress yet, but hopefully something will happen soon.  I had a little progress really early on, and my doctor was just hoping that I'd make it to 36 weeks, but then I had no additional progress for several weeks, and at my 38 week appt, she was talking about when we might need to consider induction!  Then, I suddenly had some "significant progress" as of my appt a few days ago, so you never know when things will start moving along. 

As far as perky pregnant people go, I have been trying really hard to be one, but earlier this week (at 38+ weeks) I just flat out gave up because I am too swollen, tired and uncomfortable to even care anymore.  I had been trying really hard to eat decently well throughout the entire pregnancy too, but that's out the window as well.  DH got a box of munchkins from Dunkin Donuts this morning, and I ate pretty much the entire thing myself...they were delicious, and I don't even care that it was probably an entire day's worth of calories.

Really!?  She asked you what you are eating?  Tell her you have been watching what you eat carefully but it's been all of the alcohol that has been the problem.

Can you keep Madison in a little bit longer?  I'd like us to go close because you've been my buddy on the board.  I'm going to miss you when you step away to have a baby!

I will keep her in until June, after that I'm gonna let the doc do whatever he wants to me.  I love you too PP! You better not have your baby before me, we better go at the same time, Lol.

I have a c/s on the 23.  I put it on my calendar so the baby won't come any earlier than that (that kid needs to learn that their momma is a planner).  No need to wait until June.

Ok, I will put it on my calendar too, and maybe the fact that it is written down will make her want to come on that day.

F that B.
Seriously, what is wrong with people? Especially ones that you deal with on a regular basis. It's the worst. Sorry she is so insensitive.

Then she told me how when my MP comes out I will go into labor like the next day, and how I need to get on WIC ASAP because formula is really pricey now.
When I told her I plan to EBF she then told me how I will still need to have formula because no one can feed their baby on BM alone...

Seriously I'm like Charlie Brown and everyone with their "advice" are the adults..."Wa wa wa wa wa."

 Oh yes of course. Historically, babies have just died all the time because there was no formula and no one can EBF.

I love ignorant people.

Very true   Although, don't feel bad for feeling the way you do!  You're just excited to meet her   I hope you make some progress this week!  Maybe it'll happen for you overnight
