Full Term AW Moment

I woke up this morning feeling so very grateful. The first half of this pregnancy was such a roller coaster, and this day seemed impossible at points.

From an infertility diagnosis after many years of trying, to a surprise pregnancy, and then to think we'd lost him when the ER told me I had started to miscarry, to hearing his heartbeat days later and finding out he was just fine...

Then all the bleeding scares with the SCH, the modified bedrest, the difficulties with managing my diabetes and my healthcare, learning I was a CF carrier, moving mid 2nd tri across the Pacific, straining the muscle in my hip and not being able to stand up on my own, and struggling with weight gain...

Thankfully, it all leveled out, and the last two months have been extremely enjoyable, and now here we are, 37 weeks, full term, and I feel amazed.

I am extraordinarily sappy right now. I wish dh was here so we could celebrate. I am just so happy and thankful, I couldn't not express it.

Happy full term to my fellow May 24 ladies!

    Thanks ladies! If I didn't have to induce at 40 weeks on the dot, I'd happily keep him in there longer! It's so nice to finally be able to enjoy it!
  • Congrats! I'll be full term tomorrow, it's exciting (:

    My husband is really pushing for me to induce on the 23rd instead of the 24th, because we were both born on the 23rd of other months. I keep telling him to give LO every chance he gets to come on his own terms. But I secretly hope that L&D calls to say they are booked on the 24th. lol.

    Our high risk group has had some great outcomes so far! 

  • Yes! I love victory posts like this! Congratulations on hitting an incredible milestone!
