I just wanted to say, I'm a beginning of the month-er. But I'll definitely be around to check in on everyone's birth stories! They're so fun so read, and see what everyone experiences. Plus, even though I'll be busy with a newborn...I need some reading material while nursing and rocking. So don't worry, you'll have readers! Hang in there ladies :-)
This

Totally this. I cannot wait to read birth stories and see all of your precious babies!

3/26 for me.

I definitely am feeling the downward slope here. Getting worse every day. A week ago, I was all "I'm still moving fine!" and now I'm almost always waddling because baby is chilling in my hips. The swelling keeps ticking up and sleep is getting worse.

And I'm measuring ahead, so in definitely getting the "aren't you ready to pop?!?" And "you haven't had that baby yet?" Especially at work. NO. You're likely stuck with me for ANOTHER MONTH.

Totally in for a check in from here on out.

pepperedmoth · February 2014

@linzy523, we have the same last day of work! I want that to be here almost MORE than I want the baby to be here! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Newmom Dee · February 2014

3/22 but I can't it's hard I just want to be in bed. I think my last day at work will be march 12 giving me 10 days or so. I'm scared she will delay trying to get medical leave before baby is born. And get fmla after baby is born. Someone at my job did it I just don't know how. I get 16 weeks n I want them all with my baby. Hang in there ladies we are almost there!

kashibear · February 2014

My original EDD was 3/26, but my OB changed it around 20 weeks to 4/1. :'( I keep thinking that it's 3/26, but realistically I'm sure it will be April (FTM).

This thread is awesome, and it's nice to see so many of us in the same boat. I pretty much have sharp stinging pains in my vag and abdomen that come and go, and I'm feeling like it would be awesome if I only had a week or two left (assuming she was full term, of course!). Oh well.. the "early March ladies" give me hope, and remind me there is a VERY bright light at the end of the tunnel!

Count the days..not the weeks! (It seems so much shorter) These kids will be here soon!

jmc3457 · February 2014

I'm March 31 as well and even though it is so close it seems so far. I'm starting to feel such a mix of emotions and anxiety, that I don't have enough time to get stuff done and also just the fact I still have 6 more weeks to go and it feels like forever.

The heartburn and sleepless nights due to my hips feeling like they are being sawed in half are becoming unbearable. So glad to hear I'm not the only one!!!!

SurpriseAt39 · February 2014

I'm due in 5 weeks, but I feel great most of the time. (Sorry folks)

LO is usually quite chill and relaxed and I still sometimes forget that I can't move quickly or bend over to pick stuff up.

When I lay down to get comfy is when LO gets pushy and squirmy.

This is my easiest, most comfortable pregnancy yet.

nisnyder · February 2014

Due 3/25 and feeling every bit of it! Girlfriend is chillin in my diaphram, so simple tasks like tying a shoe, feels like I ran a 5k! My waddle is in full effect and my lower back is killing me. She also keeps hitting the area where my abruption occurred, which feels like punching a bruise. There's a lot of bathing, sleeping, and praying going on over here...

I think the worst is feeling like it is still so far away (March 24) but seeing all the gorgeous babies and labors beginning. Must be patient, must be patient. But I am sooooooo done!

This exactly!

jh&kh · February 2014

EDD 3/25 here! I feel like this last trimester is dragging by. Doesn't help with all the horrible weather we have been having and feeling like I'm locked in my house all day! Baby is positioned head down DIRECTLY on my bladder so I literally feel like I have to pee every second. The only relief I get is laying down when she shifts slightly, but with a 2 year old to chase, I don't get to do much laying down. I'm so ready for March!

3/24 here!

I'd be down with a check-in for sure. I'm almost jealous of all the dilation posts because I am still so damn far from even getting to HOPE that I'm going into labor.....would still be risking a NICU stay if I went now! Not nearly term!

This! I'm also due the 24th :-) Things have gotten much much more difficult just the last 3 weeks or so - up until then I was one of the pregnancy unicorns. I've had carpal tunnel since about 25wks but around 3 weeks ago the reflux started and I haven't had a decent night's sleep in at least a month. I'm lucky if I sleep 4hrs/night :-( I'm so tired!! Then just this week craaaaazy swelling has kicked in, especially in my feet and ankles. It's gotten so bad that DH moved the recliner into the living room next to the sofa tonight and informed me that he and I are moving into the living room for the next few weeks. Poor DH. Counting the weeks!!

PinupMomma08 · February 2014

I'm in the middle this time around but last time I wasn't!! I remember the frustration from my first BMB. I was a ragey bitch on wheels, massively overdue while the other girls were nursing their 1.5 month olds, getting into routines and posting adorable pictures. Arg. Trust. I feel your pain.

I promise to still care about y'all!! Keep posting and I'll keep lurking.

Kbhunter · February 2014

March 28th here. It feels like there is so much time left but at the same time I'm freaking out about getting it all done before she's here. I'm so tired lately, mostly because I can't sleep I'm sure. Sitting at my desk at work it torture, I'm so uncomfortable it's hard to make it the whole day. She is so high my ribs feel like they are being pried apart.
I have to see the chiropractor weekly now, otherwise I can barely walk or bend at all. Talk about waddle. When I leave there though it's amazing!
I can't wait for her to be here but there's a lot more cooking to do in there.
I already know I will prob go past my due date, it is what it is. When she's ready she will come. Looking forward to seeng her next Friday at my 36 week appt growth Ultra sound.

Mskris66 · February 2014

So happy to see this thread! March 29th here... Nursery is not done, baby shower is still to be had, along with maternity photos. I love seeing the posts from the early march mommas, but then I get anxiety because part of me feels so unprepared and so far behind on everything! No sleep, heartburn, lighting crotch, all the symptoms like you ladies at this point! Not to mention my super intense waddle...my walk that I have going on is seriously redic. Random, maybe stupid question, but no sign of contractions yet...(I think?) I have been reading about so many ladies having them, would I know? I'm assuming I would.. Some cramps and back zingers but nothing continuously

BrideNamedMeg · February 2014

Due the 22nd, which isn't terrible but feels pretty far away! I'm sure it will fly by with one thing and another but my hips and back are killing me and the Zantac is having trouble keeping up with the heartburn at night. Might look into Prilosec...does anyone know if the OTC stuff is good or if I'll need a prescription?

I'm also curious to see who actually has the first March baby in March! It seems like we've had so many February babies and there's still another week and a half to go!!

Keeping my fingers crossed that this baby doesn't make me wait until 41 weeks like DS!

Khedges07 · February 2014

March 31st here too! Feels like forever away! I'm done with being pregnant now, I feel so achey & tired & I'm like the devil, seriously!! I have noooo patience for anything & flip at stupid things at the touch of a button lol! Think DH actually likes going to work at the moment lol!
Roll on the next 5 weeks or so, I'm so ready to meet our little princess.

And a check-in sounds great

) I'm all up for that one

Pinecone21 · February 2014

Officially, I'm 3/22 (3/23? whatever it says in my ticker). Based on when I ovulated I would be 3/25, but at my anatomy scan the tech said the baby was measuring 3/18. So who knows!

I'm definitely not as uncomfortable as the women due earlier in the month. My hips feel better than they did a few weeks ago, and I don't have much heartburn. I'm not sleeping well, and I get light-headed sometimes when I stand in one place, but that's about it. I feel for those of you who have it so much worse!

I plan to work through 3/14 at this point. I'm a temp, so I don't get any maternity leave pay, so maybe I'll work longer if I still feel good. My job was supposed to be advertised as full time last fall, but HR still hasn't gotten its act together. Right now, I'm just worried that they will advertise it and do all the interviews while I'm giving birth, leaving me with no job to come back to.

mizzjulien · February 2014

So glad I'm not alone! 32 days to go I'd rather count days then weeks because in some weird way in my brain it doesn't seem as long that way...

Grenagh · February 2014

21/3 FTM here and was totally ok with it all until this weekend. Now I'm just praying that we don't have to wait till 42 weeks (6.5 more weeks seem like a lifetime). Have our final scan tomorrow so fingers crossed we're still measuring ahead! Face, feet and fingers blew up the other day so had my first L&D trip (feel like a real bumpie now). Was prettified of the whole giving birth thing but now just really want to meet our LO. Cook baby cook, then come meet Momma! A check in would be fab.

benevolentforce · February 2014

Back to say I'd love a check in. Also secretly glad to see there are so many of us. Yay for not being alone!

teachermommy9967 · February 2014

March 21st EDD and team green. STM I have 2 yr old twins. They were scheduled C-section so I never experienced labour and am starting to get a little nervous. More nervous about not being able to have my VbAC for some reason then about the actual labour/delivery part.

This! I'm also due the 24th :-) Counting the weeks!!

Also due the 24th! Things are getting tougher, belly growing and it's getting harder to get up.

Sanibel21 · February 2014

Back to say I'm so glad to see the early mamas coming in to encourage!!

tsmith312 · February 2014

Im so ready to be done ! I don't have anything to wear anymore and my feet/ankles are so swollen ! By the end of the day I feel so much pressure down there I can barely walk ! I hate being towards the end of the month because I feel like I will be the last one to have my LO ! It seems to far but yet 33 days isn't that far ! I'm just hoping for a healthy babe by the end of March !

BoogieMonster629 · February 2014

Due 3/29 but RCS is scheduled for 3/26 so as of today I have 5 more weeks and I.can't.wait. I am definitely feeling way more uncomfortable than I did my first pregnancy, holy moly. I am glad that February seems to be flying by though! Now only if the snow would melt and we could at least get into the 50's or 60's by the time baby comes I'll be a happy lady

saisongbird · February 2014

@BridenamedMeg, I have opposite advice for you! My OB is very conservative about meds and after I called crying two weeks ago they finally let me go on Prilosec, which has helped immensely. Last night was bad but I was having stomach issues all day. I am on the once a day OTC stuff.

saisongbird · February 2014

Going to add one more vent onto the pile here. Little girl decided I don't need to sleep! She kicked me awake ALL.NIGHT.LONG last night - and since she started kicking, her kicks are so hard they hurt and cause me nausea. I can barely keep my eyes open right now, and I want to puke.

Kristen61607 · February 2014

Yup EDD is 3/28! It's weird because my last pregnancy was with twins so that was obviously WAY harder. I was so uncomfortable and huge, but I was also on bed rest and literally laid on the couch all day.

This time I have said 2.5 year old twins who need me constantly

So while I'm smaller, I'm still pretty darn sore because I am always chasing after them and keeping them busy! Basically the contractions (sporatic and painless but still annoying), pelvis pain and back ache are the worst. I think this one will come early. Hopefully not too early. I'll be relieved to hit 37 weeks.

Woah. Apparently my Dr. is a pill pusher.

I mentioned Heartburn as a symptom, he asked what I was using to manage, and wrote me a prescription for twice a day Prilosec without another word. I haven't even had a single TUMS this pregnancy & his words were "It's only going to get worse." But so far they're working very nicely! No sign of HB yet today!

nicrenn · February 2014

Thank you for creating this thread. Another End Of The Monther here. Baby boy is expected 3.26. I don't mind waiting a few more weeks because we still have the last bit of preparation to do, but coming to terms with and accepting my physical limitations and enduring the pain in this last trimester has been much harder than I ever imagined. I figured I was ready for labor after my bouts with kidney stones, but it is the enduring pain preceding it that has been the surprise. Very excited for our first baby though, and can't wait to meet him. Also, feel very lucky to be having him with DH. I know he will be the best dad, and he has taken such good care of pregnant me which has definitely been me at my worst during our 10 years together. Every time I think I can't possibly love him more, I am proven wrong.

Missfunball · February 2014

Ok I'm at the beginning of the month but I readily plan to support all regular posters through the end!

Any regular poster making a whine/question/L&D post will not get flamed by me

Drive-bys however....they are to be shot on site.

peachy0709 · February 2014

I'm due 3/21 and I've definitely noticed a change in the last week or so physically and mentally. Sleeping has become such a chore

Rommel200 · February 2014

I am due 3/24. Thank you for starting this thread. It is nice to not feel alone!

Brittlamarche · February 2014

I'm a little in the middle of the month (march 18th) but I definitely feel like it is never going to come! This is my second baby and I don't remember feeling this over it so soon. I feel like I hit like 38 weeks and started to feel like I was ready. I have been ready since about 32 weeks this time! Thankfully I still sleep pretty well but the heartburn, waddling, cervix pressure, Braxton hicks, no bending over, no alcohol... Etc is just getting to me! Very jealous of all of you with outside babies! Of course I don't want him to come too early and need nicu but a little early would be nice

good luck to you ladies!!

nblondheim · February 2014

I was an early March due date but my babies and body had other plans! I still frequent the board and will continue to do so! Hang in there!!!!

ProudMommy030614 · February 2014

I think that I am the only one due on the 31st, I really will be the last one to pop!

saisongbird · February 2014

@ProudMommy030614 - I am due on the 31st as well. It feels like FOREVER...

Pankers · February 2014

God, can I vent about my MIL?

she is currently giving my DH advice over FaceTime on how to lower my blood pressure. This is PREGNANCY RELATED, not stress/anxiety, etc..... Go away. And now she said we should buy a BP machine, erm that is not a good idea because I will freak out even more if it is still high when a non-medical person uses something like that. Oh, and now I need a massage and not eat cheese. Thanks for the advice pregnancy expert. (Oh I so want to eye roll here). I know this is not the forum for this but I needed to do it.

EmStyle180 · February 2014

March 31st here...aaaand my butt hurts.

kkranberry · February 2014

3/26 due date for me. I have been fine this whole time, but suddenly I just can't hold my son for very long, chase him, be on my feet for too long, concentrate at work, etc. I however am sooo thankful for the rx for heartburn I got a couple of weeks ago!
