End of the month-ers....

Can you believe it's the end of the month!?

How is everyone feeling?

I'm still holding out hope that I'll have an April baby but also trying to mentally prepare for May. My OBs don't induce until 42 weeks so it's stressing me out I could have to wait until mid-May for my baby girl.

So exciting! I feel fantastic still and like most of the pregnancy I often forget I am pregnant. I hope this doesn't mean I will have a horrific labor or baby will be a hellion to make up for it. I am still working over 50 hrs a week and dr won't induce til 42 weeks, I might get my first internal at 40 weeks to see if I made any progress. No contractions yet but occasional cramps if I am on. Y feet to much. Haven't lost mp yet either. I am guessing may 5th or possible may first

I'm doing ok just uncomfortable (who isn't at this point?). I've been on bedrest for the last couple of weeks which has made me pretty miserable, but with my induction now scheduled for this Friday (according to OB that is my due date and she doesn't want me going past my due date due to my borderline high bp), I'm feeling a little better because I can see the end and I know that no matter what Emmalynn will be here by the weekend.

Hello! I can't believe that our time is almost here! I had what I think is my bloody show this morning and have been having some contractions all day. I'm timing them now and they are about 7-10 min apart. The thing that is confusing me is that they don't seem to be getting any more intense, so who knows whats going on. My midwife won't induce until 42 weeks as well so I'm hoping I go before then! I hope you get your April baby!

I'm right there with you - I haven't felt uncomfortable with being pregnant since first tri. I can't believe I've made it past 39 weeks and I'm still feeling good! I only work about 40 hours per week, but I'm still at it. My midwives don't send you to be induced until 42 weeks, and I'll have my first internal next Tuesday if baby doesn't appear before then. No mp or show yet - pretty constant BH, but no real contractions or cramps. I don't have a guess as to whether this is a boy or a girl OR when they'll arrive!

Well I hadn't considered myself an end of monther, but hopefully I am. If my ob lets me go to 42w that will be May 3rd. I kind of wanted April though. I'd really prefer LO came on her own. I have an appt on wed where they will do an NST and schedule an induction. I'm super uncomfortable. Tired. Sore. Irritable. Swelling. Ready for baby.

Luvmy2sons · April 2012

Hi mamas! I'm feeling pretty good, considering i'm chasing 2 kids all day, still working, still coaching a teeball team, and still doing everything I used to do! Maybe that's why baby won't come. LOL. I'm the most pregnant i've ever been, I had my DS1 at 38wks, DS2 at 39. I'm hoping this little girl will decide it's time to come soon. My midwives won't let me go past 41 weeks (i'm a vbac2er). I'm mentally preparing to go to next week. I really, REALLY don't want an induction, because as a vbac it's totally different and I really really really really don't want another c/s. But, I just want a healthy baby here! I'm really trying to get into the frame of mind that I have 10 days left. Reminding myself I feel good, except when I walk it's pretty painful because I feel like she wants to fall out! I hope that means she dropped ALOT!

Bonidiebabe · April 2012

I have been trying to mentally prepare for may since the beginning. I feel like I am failing myself for being anxious right now. It hurts so bad to walk. Turning over in bed hurts like heck. I had such an easy pg all along until these last two weeks. Still though I feel extremely fortunate.

I went and picked up my nb rental CD's. I finally picked my pushing outfit last night. I'm not going to get any more ready than I am now. So I just keep telling little man he is allowed out now.

Gl to all you ladies for everything to go just the way you had envisioned. We'll all be holding our babies soon : )

I cannot believe it is the end of the month. I keep saying to DH that I feel like I should only be 30 or so weeks along right now, time has flown!

DD has had some crazy nights lately so I've been getting roughly 3 or 4 hours of sleep at night which is not helping my mental state. If I can get one solid night's sleep under my belt I will feel a whole lot more ready to push this little one out

starshollow · April 2012

It is just starting to hit me that when people ask when I am due, I don't need to give a date anymore. I can just say "Friday". That is making it seem more real. I have a feeling that Friday might come and go with LO still sitting comfortably inside me. My guess all along has been May 1, but everyone has been trying to convince me I will go early.

I started maternity leave today, and I wish I had opted to work longer. I had to give a date so they could get a long term sub lined up, but if I knew I would feel ok, I would have held out another week. One day in and I am bored of waiting around!

I have my 40 week appointment Friday if necessary. The doctor said we would make some plans then if I am still pregnant.

Hi ladies. I felt fantastic until Friday (39w2d) and then hit a wall. My MW stripped my membranes, and I felt cramps all day and night. I felt like hell on Saturday with nonstop crampy contractions and then lost my mucus plug Saturday night. I was pretty convinced I was having a baby yesterday, but it was another all day nonproductive contraction session. I finally got a decent night of sleep last night (6 hours, much better than the 2-3 hours I've been surviving on for weeks) and woke up feeling great. No contractions, no cramps, and baby seems to have climbed back up into my ribs, which relieved the pelvic pressure. I never thought I'd be so unhappy about feeling good

Daniellemf1228 · April 2012

You all seem so happy and positive! I am ashamed to say that I am feeling really depressed. I know that LO will arrive fairly soon and I knew all along that May was probable. I am just so uncomfortable right now, cant sleep at nights. I think what is making matters worse is I am really lonely. DH works so so much which I appreciate but not seeing him at all during the week except to say hello goodbye is taking its toll. Usually it does not hit me until wednesday or thursday but today I was just sitting here in tears so lonely, praying for lo to arrive, and dealing with horrible hip pain.

Hoping that at my appointment on thursday my Dr. might sweep my membranes so I have some hope of progress. I used to get contractions but have not for about two weeks.

PetitePomme · April 2012

I'm feeling frustrated. I was put on bedrest last Thursday and I'm slowly losing my mind. I go back to the doctor on Thursday and hopefully we'll discuss some sort of plan to get this LO out! I was feeling much calmer and happier when I could move around!

Looks like we have the same due date! I am feeling pretty good for the most part. I've had no real signs that labor is approaching. I get BH contractions every now and then on a daily basis, but nothing regular. I just went out and bought some red raspberry leaf tea thinking- what the hell, why not?! So who knows if that will do anything for me. LO is super low- I am dialted 1-2 cm and 80% effaced, but I'm pretty sure I haven't lost my mp. I go to my OB on Thursday for another internal. They don't like for their patients to go too far past 41 weeks so I'll probably schedule an induction if I haven't had him by Thursday. If I induce, it will probably be around May 4th or May 5th. I'd really like him to come naturally though! Good luck to you! I hope things start happening for all of us!

ditto to this. my feet are swelling a lot and I'm feeling uncomfortable ( i have hemmerhoids ) and I'm just VERY ready now. This whole pregnancy I've said that I'd go until 42 weeks before I get induced so I hope I can hold out!! praying that we all go into labor tonight! haha

I feel your pain. I have been on bedrest for the last two weeks and it definitely makes this part of pregnancy more miserable. At least when I could move around, I could keep busy. Now I have tons of time to sit and think about how uncomfortable I am and how ready I am for LO to be here. Makes time go slowly

sarabrn · April 2012

Still here and wishing C would make her appearance soon! I am hoping for a membrane sweep this Thursday (due date visit) and to get things going to avoid an induction. I am mostly just frustrated that it may come to that

It really does slow down time. I hope your LO comes soon and you can be up and about asap!

nicolelaroche · April 2012

Still here as well. I always prepared myself that she would probably come after her due date, but now that it's getting so close, I'm getting worried. I've been closed up tight and she's all up in my ribs. At my last appointment, my doctor had to move up to my belly button to find her heartbeat. I'm feeling really good aside from the swelling issues and her beating up my ribs so I normally wouldn't care how late she comes, but my doctor doesn't like going much past 41 weeks. Also, they're estimating she's pretty big. I'm just worried about induction being successful when I have not made any progress at all. I really don't want a c-section. I keep telling her she can come now if she wants.
