How is everyone doing?

Gigglebuggy · August 2013

I just reached the 2 week countdown. (Week 38!) How's everyone feeling? I'm just trying to tackle these thank you notes, and get my "end of pregnancy to-do list" done.

What she said. 37 weeks tomorrow and wondering how I'm going to last 3 more weeks (or more)

Ash1103 · August 2013

Miserable. I'm uncomfortable , huge, and at the moment I feel like I have gas pains in my stomach and back. I think it was the way I was sitting for a while.

MariaKeegs · August 2013

38 weeks today too. Thinking I need to start relaxing more or i will never have the energy to get through labor. I'm so tired!! And so freaking sick of peeing all the time, wobbling around with aches and pains, not sleeping, whining and complaining. I guess we're supposed to feel this way at the end. Done. I'm over it.

Babybabybabyohhhhhhh · August 2013

38 weeks today too. Everything is ready, just need the baby. I'm hoping something happens this week.

sallywacket · August 2013

So sorry for all you ladies having a rough time

I'm feeling pretty dang well. Still enough energy to get out and play, but trying to stay pretty low key for the next week till I hit 37... just to be sure to avoid ptl.

Zmommy2 · August 2013

I'm okay overall, but at about 4pm today I started feeling like someone seriously drugged me! DH was driving home and I seriously couldn't keep my eyes open! Then had to take a little cat nap when we got home. Im totally going to bed once I get DD in bed!

Curls218 · August 2013

I'm still feeling great! I think I'm in the minority here lol I'm at 36 weeks and a few days. I have some swelling and lower back pain but overall I'm still feeling good.

Takeabreath · August 2013

Other than my irritable uterus, swollen feet from walking all day, and some pressure on my pelvis, I am doing well. I'm surprised to be honest. I'm really eager for things to get rolling, though!

Skalbrecht · August 2013

I just started feeling tired and uncomfortable. Have a few minor things to finish (bc I'm OCD) and really for this baby to get here!

Ditto.... 12 days to go... All is done. Feel like crap. Been very unpleasant to be around, my mood is just mean! But DH is taking it well. Waiting, waiting, waiting for LO to make her debut!

missmuffin87 · August 2013

38 weeks today. Definitely feeling done with pregnancy and have everything ready to go for baby, but I'm a little nervous about having to keep up a very clean house just in case I do go into labor. My family will be visiting as soon as I get home and I don't want to have any clutter by the doorway, dirty dishes in the sink, DD's toys out on the floor, etc.But really I just want to be lazy for a while before I become a mom of 2

rachelstauf · August 2013

I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and I am soooo ready to be done. I'm ok with LO deciding it's time just the moment he's ready to go. But, the sooner the better is fine with me. So long as he's ready!

mrsmoxie · August 2013

Almost to week 37, and I've come up with two conclusions. 1, I'm going to be pregnant forever, 2, I think that whole nesting thing is a myth. I am almost as tired as i was in the first trimester. Unless it happens later, which it won't, because pregnancy lasts forever. And I'm not being dramatic or anything. :-L

EMLYNNLERETTE · August 2013

Pretty much sums it up.

Heather4life27 · August 2013

Tired, tired, tired. Also waiting !! Two weeks 2 go.

Luckymomma4 · August 2013

I feel like poo. I feel like have the flu. Achy, exhausted, out of it, and diarrhea. I don't have a fever though. Tomorrow needs to go by quickly. My csection is scheduled for Monday.

mcg512 · August 2013

Just saw this on FB and thought it was fitting.

seaheather24 · August 2013

My feet are huge , so swollen especially my right one . I can't sleep at all either . I don't know how I can get to sept 21st

MrsClaus8 · August 2013

Really sore & uncomfortable & not that fun to be around. :-/

katiezab · August 2013

I'm. Ready. I'm done. He's cooked, lets do this thing. RCS on Friday!!

313Meg · August 2013

36 weeks, tired, uncomfortable, impatient. Like everyone else. I wish I could have a "good day". Just letting baby cook a little longer while I deal with all the yuckies.

It will all be worth it soon enough!

On the bright side I am tying to take advantage of time by myself and with my hubby while I can! Dinner out?? Sounds good to me!

Bellodomani · August 2013

37 weeks on Monday, and I'm starting to get a little discouraged thinking about the possibility of 5 more weeks! Baby is sitting in an unfortunate place and sometimes when he stretches it pinches a nerve and makes my legs collapse! My students show up on Monday and I'm a little nervous about collapsing in pain in the middle of class. Hoping to see a chiropractor and get this problem addressed, but I need to figure out if we can afford it

Jenmarie279 · August 2013

I mostly feel like crap unless I am laying down doing nothing (after I FINALLY get comfortable)

I'm not due until the end of September, so I feel like I have forever to go. Impatient.

sapphire0228 · August 2013

9 days to go! Single digits!! Excited, ready, anxious and nervous. But over all still feeling good. I had a bad night last night: restless legs, overly emotional, insomnia, indigestion, back pain...it all came at once. But if that's as bad as it gets I'm a lucky girl.

Shenique12 · August 2013

I felt horrible last week , but I can honestly say this week I am feeling better. I turned 35 weeks today , however I am anxious to get this kid out of me. I am so huge; can't wait to be able to do things independently for myself again. Just putting on my underwear is a challenge these past 2 weeks. I guess I just have to hang in there like everyone else!!!

4Angel5 · August 2013

Mostly excited and feeling good. Can't stand it when baby has the hiccups, and every so often my back will give out or I can't get in a comfortable position to sleep, but I'm still semi-energetic, getting a few things done here and there provided I nap, and spending some ehhem quality time with DH. Looking forward to meeting our LO, but not trying to bring on labor. Baby is at -2 station, and i can feel that, too! I want to stay out of work until at least Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping to make it to 9/17 based on 6 wks disability followed by remaining vacation time. Can't take unpaid leave without breaking the bank

But, baby will arrive when ready, and we'll be too ecstatic to care about my return date at that point in time!

janelleashu · August 2013

I feel like a huge ball of itching, aching, burning raw meat. My body has decided two hours is a great amount of time to sleep each night, so i'm even more deranged and weepy than usual. But, I'm also feeling excited to get the party started and I figure all the pains mean I will actually go into labor at some point.
Oh, I got a pair of pants at loehman's today that was a size large-non maternity! They are khakis with a cotton band at the top. Being able to purchase regular clothes in my ninth month that fit my school's new dress code made me feel grrrrreat.

crenteri · August 2013

38 weeks today I walked 3 miles at a relay for life ! My feet hurt now but I m good ne'er swelled up only gained 28 pounds no sickness ever im pretty lucky . The only thing is that I can't sleep ! I'm always up at 2 or 3 am .... And laying down is uncomfortable . Can't wait to Friday ! Last day of work for me ! I'll be 39 weeks

PrettyFade · August 2013

I feel very blessed. I am a bit uncomfortable as little man is dropping on my bladder and that ever lasting cyst on my right side. My back hurts from time to time, and BH freaks me out if they happen too often. But 36 weeks and 3 days I still feel like he can/should stay in there a little while longer. I try not to complain, especially after reading some of what y'all are going through! Good luck to all y'all!

ETA, my ticker must be off...hmmmmm.

mathornt · August 2013

so done and over being pregnant. i am on bed rest due to pelvic girdle pain and its the worst pain ive ever felt and never abates.

however, also thankful that shes still cooking as my son was born at 33 weeks and had a rough start

This for me too! Helped DH mow the front lawn today. Still keeping active and am still quite small. Lower back has started to hurt though and ankles have finally started to swell so it might be time to start resting up for the big day!

elishabelle · August 2013

Unfortunately not doing as well as I would like. I have major swelling in my feet/ankles/lower leg. I gained 7lbs in one week and Dr. is worried about Preeclampsia. Thankfully I have no other signs of it, but I have a feeling that I am now going to go to 2 Dr's appts a week to make sure that it's not coming on anytime soon. Between that and my GD leveling (still on glyb, but only 1.25mg at bedtime now) I decided to take myself out of work a week earlier than I had originally planned. I knew that all the walking/standing would be hard on me, but after one day back at work I was so swollen that my socks made lines in my ankles and I was having a lot of contractions. Dr. said she will most likely put me on "bed rest" on Monday.

I feel for the women who have had serious issues their whole pregnancy. This wait and worry thing is no joke.

MamaInMN · August 2013

38 weeks, 4 days. Physically, feeling ok except for tons of false labor.

Otherwise, pretty ready to be unpregnant.

nursebride2be · August 2013

Up till last night I was in constant right side pain from baby lying on my sciatic nerve. But the all the sudden I replied that I was no longer in pain. Seem baby boy moved off the nerve, but decided to give me gas pains instead. Hoping him moving means he is getting ready for his arrival. Gotten almost everything ready for him so now we just wait.

charmcity82 · August 2013

I am feeling alright, definitely ready for the show to start! I turned 39 weeks today and although I have had some progression (lost mucus plug, 1 cm. dilated) no contractions to speak of. DH and I are trying to relax and do some nice things together as we wait.

aislinsmom · August 2013

Feeling awful today. I've been awake since 4:00 a.m. with bad cramps and nausea. Making myself crazy wondering if this is the start of labor or if it's just an "off" day. I'm so ready to be done being pregnant!!

SweetPeaK26 · August 2013

I'm miserable. I still can't sit or sleep because my hemmies hurt so bad, and I keep having brand new pains that I've never had before that make me wonder if something is wrong. I'm done.

Jilly82 · August 2013

Ehh, good days and bad. There are days when my entire body hurts and days when I'm fine

This is me too. I was doing really well until I started back to work last Monday. Several days that week my back and feet really hurt and I was as bit more tired. Then on Friday things were not so bad. It's the weekend so everything is fine again. Monday my students come back....we will see how I feel after this week.
