So... 36+ weekers... can you feel your body getting ready?

Mrs.Johns · October 2010

I feel like mine is. I had weird discharge this morning (seriously, I thought my water broke. That's how much there was lol What an idiot.), my nipples have been burning/tingling on and off, I have had a lot more cramping than I was having before and lets just say the constipation I was feeling appears to have relieved itself. Obviously, I know I'm a few weeks out but it's interesting to see/feel what's going on.

Exciting! Can you feel anything "different"?

I just posted below that I feel more nauseous than normal, but I don't know if that means anything. Other than that, just more aches and pains, probably BH's.

Much more achy and cramping... ughhhh!

SimoneSays22 · October 2010

I definitely feel like by body is getting ready. I posted below about how my boob leaked, so I know my boobs are locked and loaded with colostrum, haha.

There is pressure in my hips and I'm very crampy in my lower back and abdomen. I've had BH and contractions. He's also dropped.

It's pretty cool that our bodies know what to do (sometimes).

This, it sucks balls. Other than the cramping, nothing really, LO has more recently started headbutting my cervix a million more times a day than a few weeks ago. In all fairness, for the pain that that causes, it should totally dilate you.

I have noticed lots of changes. I am nauseated a lot, peeing 10 million times a day, going to the "bathroom" 3+ times a day, and my nipples are leaking like crazy!

I wish he would come on out!!

I have had this too and I TOTALLY agree. It's all I can do not to grab hold of my crotch like a little kid. haha

I know! He does it and I can't even think until he's done ripping me apart. I'm sure I also make a very lovely face each time.

I woke up at 5:30 throwing up. My nipples are on fire. My hips feels like they are gonna break and I swear my vag is about to crack open like a fortune cookie.I keep getting cramps and very random conractions. It hurts, I am tired, I am cranky and now I may go cry

Don't cry you're almost there!

I am really really tired since I hit 36 weeks (I am really hoping for a second wind but I think my nesting days have come and gone Crying

) Also, I swear I can actually feel my pelvic bones shifting. It is not the most pleasant sensation.

I am too. I have a whole plan of what I want to accomplish and then I end up taking a nap. ha

themissizz · October 2010

I'm almost at 36 weeks.. he dropped (at least somewhat) on Saturday. I now feel like I have to go to the bathroom all the time, am having lower back and hip pain, am really tired by the end of the day, and this one is weird - I'm occasionally burping/hiccuping while also puking a little in my mouth. I NEVER burp, like, maybe less than 10x in my adult life, so this is very strange. Oh, my boobs are starting to get sore again too, but no leakage or anything yet. I'm still convincing myself that this kid is coming on time or late.

I too have been choosing to nap or rest instead of shortening my To Do list. I think all of the essentials are taken care of so a little slacking should be ok.

I always get emotional when I am sick. But to be sick on top of all of this, its just too much.

I know that the post said 36+ weekers, but I'll be 34 wks Thurs. & last week I was going through everything that you described...I'll make sure to bring it up @ my doctor's appt. today, but I'm definitely in my "uncomfortable phase" and I feel its kinda premature since I'm not even full term yet... Sad

Arielle27 · October 2010

Definitely!

My doctor confirmed that he dropped two weeks ago (although people at work swear he's even lower now than he was a week ago), I've been much more tired in the last week, I've had more discharge, I lost my mp a few days ago, and I'm having at least a few moderate-very painful BH a day.

I have also noticed I've been taking a few trips to the toilet a day now, but I have IBS, so that is not uncommon for me (though I had noticed it hadn't happened in the last few months much).

Trying not to get excited by it all as I know it could still be a few more weeks!
