KrisM86 · October 2011

How far along are you? 40 weeks today...and irritated that the bump tells me "Today is baby's birthday!" Um, I don't think so. Any progress that you're aware of? A fingertip dilated, very soft, 90% effaced and started losing my MP yesterday. Do you have an induction/c-section scheduled or are you waiting on spontaneous labor? Waiting on LO and my body to decide it's time.Are you still working? Nope, I haven't been since 30 weeks and I'm bored out of my mind. What are you doing to pass the time until LO arrives? Taking walks, watching TV, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, bumping Biggest complaints? Contractions! For weeks now they are intense, come every few minutes, last about a minute for at least several hours each day. And they do nothing to cause progress. Arg! They are also accompanied by cramping and back pain.What will you miss most about being pregnant? Feeling LO squirm around inside me and having her all to myself....but I'm more than ready for her to be an outside baby! Any feelings on when LO might arrive? Not really...I'm kind of convinced I will be pregnant forever, although I know that can't actually be the case.

k2west · October 2011

How far along are you? 39 weeks, 4 days

Any progress that you're aware of? Nope, last 2 dr visits, she said cervix is far back.

Do you have an induction/c-section scheduled or are you waiting on spontaneous labor? spontaneous!

Are you still working? Yes, Friday will be my last day (my due date too!)

What are you doing to pass the time until LO arrives? Nothing special, cooking cleaning, going out, working, etc; nursery is done.

Biggest complaints? No major complaints, starting to feel tired this past weekend and also realizing how significantly my life will change in the next week (not so much a complaint as a realization/brief moment of panic).

What will you miss most about being pregnant? Watching my body do amazing things and definitely feeling her movement.

Any feelings on when LO might arrive? I think she'll arrive past my due date, probably next week....we'll see!

AF_EOD_wife · October 2011

How far along are you? 39w, 1d

Any progress that you're aware of? 2.5 cm, 50% effaced, which is to say "No, no progress in four weeks. Yay prodromal labor."

Do you have an induction/c-section scheduled or are you waiting on spontaneous labor? c-section scheduled for Wednesday. Doc is concerned about me being in prodromal labor for this long and I have a tilted and unfavorable pelvis. It's cuttin' time!

Are you still working? No, but because we moved so late in my pregnancy I've been a stay at home wife. I did have a job interview last week that went really well!

What are you doing to pass the time until LO arrives? Cleaning, organizing, and packing. Nesting instinct is no joke!

Biggest complaints? PRODROMAL LABOR. OMG. I am sooo uncomfortable.

What will you miss most about being pregnant? It's selfish, but I'll miss carrying her around and feeling her. I know when she's awake, when she gets the hiccups, and it's something that only I know.

Any feelings on when LO might arrive? Wednesday at approximately 8:15 EST.

Acadia82 · October 2011

How far along are you? 37 week, 5 days

Any progress that you're aware of? Slightly dilation. My doctor hasn't given me any numbers.

Do you have an induction/c-section scheduled or are you waiting on spontaneous labor? Waiting.......

Biggest complaints? It feels as if I have been drop-kicked in the vagina.

What will you miss most about being pregnant? The feelings of movement and having people be extra nice to me because they know I could probably crush them right now.

Any feelings on when LO might arrive? Not really, my husband thinks the 21st, since it is my birthday and we have a lot of duplicate birthdays in our family.

megara50 · October 2011

How far along are you? 39w 4d? Can't remember, check my siggy, lol!

Any progress that you're aware of? Nada, never been checked.

Do you have an induction/c-section scheduled or are you waiting on spontaneous labor? C-section scheduled for 12 Oct, but if I went into labor today I wouldn't complain!

Are you still working? Thankfully no! My leave started last Friday.

What are you doing to pass the time until LO arrives? Last minute nursery things, cleaning the house, reading way too much about c-section recovery, sleeping, and eating chocolate!

Biggest complaints? I'm tired of waiting! I wanna meet this little girl already!

What will you miss most about being pregnant? Feeling the baby move.

Any feelings on when LO might arrive? I thought she would come this weekend, but looks like I will have to wait for Wed.

ansulak · October 2011

How far along are you? 39w1d

Any progress that you're aware of? 1 cm as of Tuesday last week. Hopefully more by now. Dr. Appt on this Wednesday. I really do not want to make it to the appt.

Do you have an induction/c-section scheduled or are you waiting on spontaneous labor? Waiting patiently, but Dr. will not let me go more than a week overdue because of fluid and placenta issues.

Are you still working? At my desk right now, but I really am not able to start anything with me being a time bomb. Working is a relative term!

What are you doing to pass the time until LO arrives? "Working" going to local, community events (went to a rodeo this weekend )

Biggest complaints? LO's arrival would have been perfect this past weekend. My family, who lives 4 hrs away had a 3-day weekend for Columbus Day. My mom owns a bakery and has a wedding cake for the 15th. That is when LO will probably decide to arrive. I really want my mom there with me and DH, but it will probably not happen.

What will you miss most about being pregnant? Not having headaches and not having AF! That is about it. (Oh, and DH has really helped out with household chores, wahoo!)

Any feelings on when LO might arrive? Probably at the most inopportune time! BUT, I really want him here, so any time is a good time! Now would be great.

On Thursday because of my blood pressure and headache they admitted me during my weekly appt and said there was a good chance i was going to see a baby that night.. Well got released Friday night with no baby..What will you miss most about being pregnant? having baby with me all the time and knowing when she has hiccups, is sleeping or is wide awake.Any feelings on when LO might arrive? at this point I say never

i was told I would never carry to term and I would be lucky to make it out of Sept. Turns out doctors aren't always right.

Any progress that you're aware of? At my appt last week I was 2cm and 80% effaced.

Do you have an induction/c-section scheduled or are you waiting on spontaneous labor? Still waiting on spontaneous. After the induction related fit I threw last time, they haven't even mentioned it this time around.

Are you still working? No, and I'm pretty bored but it is probably for the best. I wouldn't be any good there.

What are you doing to pass the time until LO arrives? Lots of quality time with DD, including trying to be out and about as much as possible before the weather goes completely to crap.

Biggest complaints? This kid's head is so low it is painful. I feel like I'm walking around with him crowning. Which also causes some serious back pain and lack of sleep.

What will you miss most about being pregnant? The kicks, and DD patting my belly. This may very well be the last one, so I try to treasure it when I can.

Any feelings on when LO might arrive? Possibly very soon. I have been having sporadic contrax all weekend and had a sudden fit of closet reorganizing. Have been up for a couple hours now with slightly more serious contractions!

Any progress that you're aware of? At my 36 week check-up I was 1 cm dilated and 60% effaced. I think I get another internal this week. We'll see what happens.

What are you doing to pass the time until LO arrives? Working, resting (I have a cold I am trying to get rid of), and just doing little projects around the house.

Biggest complaints? Just the usual not sleeping. I wish this cold would go away, too. My nose is stuffy and I just can't imagine being in labor with this stupid cold!

What will you miss most about being pregnant? The little kicks and hiccups. I feel so lucky to have experienced this pregnancy.

Any feelings on when LO might arrive? Even though I am making progress, I don't think this little one is in any rush. I think it will be after my due date. It's weird though...my dog was SUPER clingy for the last 2 days, so maybe my dog knows something that I don't!
