37 weeks

Here I am, full term! But it seems like nothing is happening. LO was engaged for over a week, but then decided to wiggle back up. I still haven't lost my plug. While my BH have changed over the last few weeks, I still don't have any regular ones. I just feel all the discomforts all of you do. Then yesterday I sneezed (really hard) and tore the muscles by ribs on the right side. Ouch! The lack of sleep is getting to me...I have moved to the couch to be semi-upright or I can't even doze. And while this feels like an eternity...I am glad LO is in there thriving and growing. B/c I am hoping in the end it will all be worth it! And I think he will be amazing!

Re: 37 weeks

  • im in the same boat as you. this is just a waiting game at this point. try to enjoy the last couple weeks of silence and being selfish. do things you wont be able to do when the baby is here instead of concentrating on how miserable you are. it is helping me alot. good luck!

  • OMG, I did that rib/muscle thing once. It was awful. (Hugs) And, yes, the last three weeks of pregnancy are slower than the first 12.
  • Congrats on Full term!!

    If it makes you feel any better, I've had absolutely no signs of anything going on either (not even BH that I've felt).  And after feeling really crappy and so over pregnancy for a few days last week, I've felt amazing the last few days.  Hopefully you start feeling better!
  • Right there with you. Even though I am 3 cm dilated I haven't had any other real signs that anything is to come any time soon. Haven't lost my plug, haven't had any real or regular contractions, just super sore and uncomfortable. I sure was hoping that I could go into labor on my own this time around as I was induced at 41 wks with DS. I still have time, but just anxious I guess.

  • I'm 37w today too! :) Yeah, I haven't had any signs either except for cramps - no BHs (that I've felt), not dilated any, haven't lost my mp that I know of, nothing. DH was telling a couple he was worried about me being in labor b/c of back pain. I looked at him like he was nuts b/c I haven't had back pain in a month or two. I'm expecting to be like my sister - she had to be induced w/ both her pregnancies. I think I'm mostly telling myself that so if I end up having to be induced I won't be disappointed. The way I figure it, this kid will get here one way or another in the next 3 or 4 weeks!
