Re: Roll call... who's still waiting?
-39 weeks, 3 days
-I've been 3 cm at 70% for the past three weeks
-I have felt ZERO contractions. Anyone else in this boat? I'm expecting them to be painfully obvious, but aside from the occasional aches and pains I got nothing.
-I'm most looking forward to sharing LO with the family and friends- this is the first baby so everyone is super excited!
Hang in there ladies!
Are you dilated/effaced? My doctor actually hasn't checked yet, I will be finding out on Wednesday, unless this wee one decides to come before then which I am completely fine with.
Contractions? Randomly. I have been getting a few every few days since I was 30 weeks. I have been getting more recently though.
What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Just holding her, seeing who she looks like, naming her (we have a short list). I am looking forward to reading to her and also taking her for walks, we live just a few blocks from the ocean so I also look forward to teaching her to swim but that wont be for a few years.
Still here and very, very ready to meet my son!
-How many weeks are you? 39 weeks, 5 days!
-Are you dilated/effaced? Not dilated AT ALL but am 60% effaced
-Contractions? I'm having them every day but they haven't lead to anything yet.
-What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Everything! I just can't wait to hold and kiss him and be his mom!

-Are you dilated/effaced? 1-2 centimeters dilated and cervix is almost completely thinned.

-How many weeks are you? 36 weeks 4 days
-Are you dilated/effaced? 2cm as of Thurs
-Contractions? Yes, but nothing consistent.
-What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Everything. This has been a very stressful pregnancy, and I'm looking forward to meeting my little guy, hoping he's healthy and we can move on. I have GD, polyhydramnios, he's very very big, and we've been watching him for a potential kidney issue, and we had a scare with a potential heart defect but we were cleared of that.
My little man at 0-1-2
Me! Me! Me! lol
-How many weeks are you? 36 weeks 4 days

-Contractions? I have contractions almost daily, but very inconsistent and they haven't done anything yet
-What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Just for her to be here with us! I have zero energy with a two year old running around!
LO is breech so we are scheduled for a csection 03/21 and I want her to be as healthy and safe as possible but I'm just so ready to not be pregnant and miserable anymore! lol
-How many weeks are you? 37w3d
-Are you dilated/effaced? Nope
-Contractions? Mild BH contractions that seem to be getting more numerous but not regular at all
-What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Holding him and bonding with him outside my belly, seeing his personality, watching DH interact with him, (and more selfishly) not having such swollen feet and hands.
Weeks: 40w 1d (ugh!)
Dilated/Effaced: 4 cm dilated, some effacement, softened cervix
Contractions: Yesterday, I had several but it was just false/early labor - sigh
Most looking forward to: Besides LO (obv)...sleeping on my back
Love you all, but REALLY ready to be on the other side of this pregnancy!
-Are you dilated/effaced? Not that I know of and I think I still have my mucous plug... My midwife won't do an internal until I'm in labour or reach 41 weeks. I've been drinking lots of raspberry leaf tea and walking a few miles each day, hoping it helps!
-Contractions? Nothing other than the BH I've been having all along... :-(
-What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Meeting Little Guy for the first time, knowing we'll be inseparable for life. Seeing my husband with Little Guy for the first time. Snuggling as a family of 3. Sushi with a big-*** glass of white wine!
-How many weeks are you? 40 weeks and one day.
-Are you dilated/effaced? 1 cm and 50% effaced. Hasn't changed in two weeks
-Contractions? Def not. Some braxton hicks but not much going on in that department.
-What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Not peeing every 5 minutes, a glass of wine, meeting my little girl finally and sleeping on my belly!
How Many Weeks: almost 37... Honestly, since I have a couple of due dates, I don't keep great track of this stuff.
Dilated: No clue! Will find out maybe at my next appointment, but honestly, it sounds like dilation/effacement doesn't indicate much when the numbers are low...
Contractions: Yes! I had a couple of preterm labor scares where I had super regular, painful contractions, but they have stopped (and now I"ll probably go long... figures!) Now my contractions are painless and occur randomly but always happen when I walk more than 50 feet, have to use the restroom, or take the stairs.
Looking forward to: Everything! I'm a FTM and I bounce between terrified and excited, but I know that meeting my little one for the first time will be amazing.

-irregular contractions only in the past two days when I am walking around. My kidney stones are my arch enemy at the moment though.
-Looking forward to seeing her of course and just knowing she's safely here. But I am thrilled to see my amazing husbands relationship with her. My bio dad passed away and I know my hubs will be the kind of daddy I always dreamed of having as a little girl.

I'm a fan of The Cloth Diaper Tech Support group on Facebook
- Will be 38 weeks on Monday
- Haven't has any internals, so not sure.
- Been having several BH every day for a few weeks now. They are starting to get more intense. Nothing really painful yet, but to the point where I think they are probably doing work.
- Most looking forward to bringing LO home and being a mama. I know everyone has their two cents and has plenty of advice to share, but I really am looking forward to figuring it all out on our own.
Due March 16th
38 weeks
No dialation, no contraction, no nothing! She seems to be perfectly content in there.
I am most looking forward to snuggling my cute little girl in my arms. At this point the thought of the sleep we're gonna lose doesn't even matter!
-How many weeks are you? 38 weeks and 3 days
- 36 weeks, 6 days (my ticker is a day off)
- I have not had any internals, so I have no idea about dilation/effacement.
- Just a few random painless BH, had a bunch of painful ones that were like strong menstrual cramps last week.
- I can't wait to meet him and see his face! Also, seeing my husband become a father and being able to move around with ease again.
Dilated 1.5 cm
Lots of contractions, but I've had them for a while
I'm most looking forward to holding LO and kissing him.
Mother to DD, born sleeping on 9/28/11, and DS, born 3/12/13, 5lbs 13oz, 19in
Are you dilated/effaced? Not at all! Ugh
Contractions? Braxton Hicks I think?!?
What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Holding him and kissing his fat cheeks! Oh and having a Reuben sandwich, a glass of wine, and being able to sleep on my stomach! Lol
- 37 weeks 6 days!
- Barely 1 cm and about 40%
- Irregular contractions off and on for a couple weeks now

-Contractions? Lots of BH's and a few painful ones here and there but nothing major. I need to start drinking more water to help with the BH's.
-What are you most looking forward to after LO arrives? Delivery. I know most people dread it but I thought it was the coolest thing ever with DS (granted I had an awesome epi). And just generally meeting her. I'm also looking forward to seeing how quickly DH is wrapped around her little finger because he thinks he won't enjoy being a dad to a DD as much as he enjoys being a dad to a DS- reality is, he has no idea how much he's going to love it lol.
I mostly lurk, but I'm here too!!!
-How many weeks? 37 weeks 1 day
-Dilated/effaced? Dunno, haven't been checked.
-Contractions? Nothing regular, but I have been having them on and off for a few days now.
-Most looking forward to? Obviously holding LO. Being able to sleep on my tummy/back, and breastfeeding again. I loved EBFing with DS and I am hoping to be able to do it again. DS is also very excited to meet his baby brother, whom he has named Simeon lol.

- contractions all the freaking time! they'll even start to get time-able and closer together like its really about to happen then they just stop
- besides the obvious one of getting to meet this little person that's been living inside of me for the past 9 months, i am sooo looking forward to not being pregnant anymore! also, i am a bit embarrassed to say this, but she has so much cute stuff i just cant wait to stick her in some of it! she's turning into a tunk a chunk real quick so i doubt i'll have to wait long for her to fit into a lot of it. i also cant wait to see my husband as a dad
