Late June mamas

How is everyone doing? Still hanging in there?
I'm so ready for this baby. I'm having issues with tachycardia and borderline pre-e and have spent 2 days in the hospital recently. I'm on twice weekly NST and weekly ultrasound so I'm basically living at my OB's office.

Re: Late June mamas
Feeling good....just uncomfortable.
Nothing exciting is going on with baby. Which is good because everything is healthy and on track, but it's also frustrating because it means no real signs of labor.
I'm trying not to stress too much, but my doctor/hospital is very pro-induction so I'm really hoping DD makes her appearance prior to my scheduled induction on the 26th otherwise I'm going to have to fight to get it pushed back.

I have my 38 week check up Thursday. Hopefully some good news, but not banking on it since last time all I was told was he is now head down, not dilated or anything!
He will be here soon I keep telling myself! And I can't wait.
Still hanging in there.. nothing much to report, really. I was offered a cervix check at my last appointment, but declined. I'm set for a RCS on 6/27, so I really don't see the point. I'm kind of hoping I'll go earlier, but if not, it's nice knowing I've only got 16 more days!
Hang in there, mamas!
It's the dumbest reason ever, but I'm hoping LO holds off until my due date, maybe even a few days later. H gets paid once at month on the 25th and we are cash poor at the moment and I want to pick up a few more things before she comes lol.
June 28th here. Doing pretty well. Im anxious for her to be here, but I know its best that she comes when she's ready. Still impatient lol.
I've had a lot of muscoloskeletal pain this time around, so chasing around my 14 month has been tough. Overall, Im mentally doing better than last time. It was a harder adjustment to hit full-term with DS then with DD. I guess because I've done it before, and Im already used to less sleep.
holding on to that feeling...
Just playing the waiting game now. My OB doesn't do internal exams until I reach my due date if labor hasn't started spontaneously yet, which I am glad for. At my 38 wk apt yesterday we talked about timeline for discussing induction, which will be dependent on results of NST and fluid check at 41 wks.
I'm feeling pretty good, all things considered. Heartburn is more intense, but less frequent than 2nd tri, dealing with a little nausea and appetite loss, and just trying to make sure I stay really well hydrated. I won't mind if LO wants to stay in a little past her due date. It's more a matter of being asked those ridiculous late term questions that I don't want to deal with.
I'm 38 weeks today. Doing pretty good for the most part. I have the same complaints about achy lady parts (but seriously though, omg the pain). And my belly is so itchy now, and I have stretch marks that popped up in the last few weeks (didn't have any with DD so this is new to me).
I completely packed my freezer this past weekend so I'm very happy about that! I'm just waiting it out now. I have a partially packed hospital bag, just need to pack DD an overnight bag. I have a few last minute loose ends to tie up (car seat actually in the car, bring up my RnP and swing from the garage, stuff like that). Nothing that can't be done, even if baby decided to come rightthisverysecond. I'm just trying to enjoy the last few days/weeks as a family of 3 before everything gets flipped around.
Similar to the other ladies... My lower back hurts so bad that even short walks are brutal right now. I was at the grocery store with DD1 over the weekend and just HAD to sit down. I was never so happy to see a display of lawn furniture. LoL There is a lot of pelvic pressure and menstrual-like cramps going on. My OB doesn't do internals, so I have no idea if I'm progressing or not. I have my 38 week appt tomorrow and I plan to ask what their policy is on inductions if I go past my due date. I really hope LO is close to on-time. My mom is flying in from TN on my due date and staying for a week. I want her to get to meet the baby.
I'm so ready....but apparently my body is not. Or is it? Baby dropped over three weeks ago and is in the correct position for delivery and I've been 1cm and not effaced for three weeks.
It was disappointing at my appointment yesterday, but last night I started to lose my mucus plug and I've been having painless contractions all morning. All in all it means I could have the baby today...or in three weeks at my induction time. As a planner the uncertainty of delivery times is very disconcerting.
Due June 26th but am pretty sure this baby won't make an appearance until early July (boy will I be surprised if he shows up early!). I was offered a cervical check at 36 weeks but declined. My GBS test came back negative so that was good news.
This is probably flameworthy, but I'm having basically zero discomfort. No heartburn, no pressure, just a whole lot of nothing except for maybe a few teeny, tiny contractions, which are hardly noticeable. Baby hasn't dropped as far as I can tell...a lot of people like to say it looks like he has, but I really don't think so.
I'm happy for LO to stay in up to 41 weeks, but I wouldn't mind if he came a little earlier because work is kicking my arse. We're being audited in July so we're preparing for that while also dealing with the busiest sales month of the entire year for my department. Plus, I'm trying to wrap up any loose ends so my replacement is properly trained. I'm pretty firmly in "I don't care about anything and am not going to worry about it" mode, but even so, there's still a lot of work to be done, and I'm not one to just toss everything in the air and walk out.
my read shelf:
Doing well...just hanging in there. Baby is healthy. I'm dealing with having to look into a getting my ovaries out for my health concerns, but I'm excited for little one. My Dr. has not done an internal since I'm scheduled for my c-section on the 20th, but I'd kind of like to know how far along I am- if at all.
I have my 38 week appointment tomorrow and I'm hoping for some news or possible update on my progress. Everyone keeps saying they think LO is coming before the 20th which is great and exciting, but it keeps getting my hopes up and frustrating me.
I hope everyone else is doing great! Almost there mommas!
Doing well, feeling good minus insomnia. LO has dropped down and is in head first position, I start getting cervical checks next week...I initially said I'd decline them but meh, I only have a few weeks left in my pregnancy-I don't care, I take everything with a grain of salt. I also have an ultrasound scheduled for next week, doc wants to see how big the baby is...taking that with a grain of salt.
Everyone thinks I won't make it til my due date and I think the same...but we shall see!
Totally feeling the whole cash deficiency thing here haha. I really hate that once a month pay day. I still need to pick up a few things so I'm hoping she'll wait, if my OB doesn't induce.
Sending best wishes to everybody!!
I'm 37w4d (due 6/29), and nothing much going on here. I had an internal on Monday, and I'm 50% effaced but not dilated at all. I have kind of convinced myself that I'm having BH, but I'm not entirely sure. Otherwise, just the same old, same old... but, I'm less uncomfortable than I was a few weeks ago, so that's a happy surprise!
I did have a growth sono yesterday, and before I went, the OB I saw told me to take whatever they say with a grain of salt because they "have big eyes" - but they estimated 7lbs, 14 ounces already. It was fun to get to see him on the screen & DVD, but he didn't cooperate for pictures. I am just amazed at how big he looks - like a real baby instead of a tiny little thing in there!
Me too. I'm only one day behind you. I've been having pretty intense menstrual cramps all day and I just finished crying about it. I really convinced myself I'd be in labor by today because DD1 was this early. Stupid. I know. I'm not in labor...I'm just incredibly uncomfortable. I just wish my body would either go into labor or stop making me feel like shitz. One or the other, kwim?
Does anyone else have this leaky problem? I'm a FTM and I am not totally sure if I'm supposed to be this leaky all the time. I go through like 3 pairs of underwear a day now.
Just had a contraction that was unlike any of the rest. Definitely had to take a trip to the restroom to check if anything was happening because I had to really breathe my way through it. It was only one very long one. It seemed to last a few minutes. I just had regular BH after that one though. I totally had the urge to go clean the kitchen and that made me feel better and I had one of those moments where I wasn't sure if I was just cleaning the kitchen or if I was doing the whole nesting thing.
I've noticed I've gotten insomnia and it seems others have, too. What's the deal with that? All I want is to get some rest so I can wake up and actually tend to every little detail that has been keeping me up at night, lol.
