Friday Symptom Check In

ElTrain5 · June 2014

Since Snuff is busy with the new lil squish....it's Friday ladies! Let er rip!

ElTrain5 · June 2014

I'll start. My symptom is nothing. Well, I guess disappointment? Yesterday I had horribly painful BH that started in the morning and got so bad by the evening I could barely drive home from the train stop. I was so convinced it was the start of something. Got home, chugged water, and they lessened but didn't go away. Went to bed thinking id be up at some point and ....nada. Just mildly crampy. My mom flew in last night (she's staying till I give birth) so now we wait. Yay.

I have like white chunks in my urine. Could it be more MP?

sjn00 · June 2014

40 weeks on Sunday.. So much all over back pain and discomfort. No sight of Labor anywhere! Boooooo.

And fatigue.

I had this Wednesday when I have a sample at the midwife's! She said it was me losing my mucus

that's some kind of progress right?!

jsnyder79 · June 2014

Had cramps and painful BH all day yesterday and thought for sure this baby was moving out. Haha on me. Instead another night of up 6 times to pee and awful pelvic and back pain. I feel grouchy this am bc I'm so tired. Poor H gets terrible sleep these days with all my trips to bathroom and the production it is when i try to lay on a different side like every 30 minutes. Thankful he doesn't complain bc I'd prob be adding him to the TP list.

I'm already at 4cm and fully effaced shouldn't I be done with the plug!? Oh well I won't complain it means I'm getting there.... Whooop!

Mia081081 · June 2014

Also 4cm and effaced and still losing more plug. Yesterday lost quite a bit. This morning a little more with a pink tinge. Hoping the pink tinge means something since I lost most of my plug 2 weeks ago. Or it could have been from sex, but we've been doing that on the daily and this is the first pink I've seen.

Lots of timetable contractions all day yesterday that stopped as soon as I went to bed. 39+5 today.

babyglo350 · June 2014

39 + 5 as well. My main symptom: ANXIETY! I can't take it. Along with sleepless nights, major pain in my pelvis and these freaking BH. I do to know what's worse the physical or the psychological. Went to the doc yesterday and have had zero progress since last week. This killed my morale. I have another appt next week that will be the "overdue" visit where have the induction talk

sigh.

babygabe614 · June 2014

Painful BH frequently yesterday but they went away once I got home and put my feet up. And the carpal tunnel is getting nearly unbearable.

I think the psychological is worse! It makes everything worse!
With dd1 I was so super late I went in the night before and wasn't dialated or effaced I went into labor that night and had an easy peasy delivery. Don't let it discourage you!

babyglo350 · June 2014

I hope that will be the case. I have legit been crying myself to sleep every night. DH feels bad and doesn't know how to help. I feel pathetic. I feel like I should be happier at this point. I know it will pass and it's mostly hormonal but it's hard to stay strong. Thanks for the positive thoughts!

Well the opposite can be true too! I'm 4cm and fully effaced and haven't had this baby yet. And I cry because I'm half there what the heck!

No matter what side of the track you're on the end just sucks

hang in there!

Yep! 4cm for weeks. Really messes with your mind. Our babies will be here soon though!

Had some intense lower back cramping last night while feeling like I had to poo...was super worried that LO had decided to try and appear earlier and was posterior. Got home and put my feet up for an hour and felt 100x better. He was moving around a ton too, so I guess we're back to the waiting game. Also had some vivid dreams last night about the Holocaust. Even after I'd get up to pee/let dog out/etc I would pick up where I left off. Extremely depressing but I helped save some lives. All you ladies at 4cm make me glad I didn't get checked yesterday - I would be freaking out and apparently there is nothing to the checks

amackattack · June 2014

Actually had a few contractions last night, or so I thought. I was trying to sleep and getting sooooo excited! I decided to try to get as much sleep as possible, and when I woke up this morning, nothing. I know a lot of you ladies have been dealing with that for weeks, but wow it was so discouraging and disappointing

vv826 · June 2014

My throat is raw from the heartburn I had all night and when I finally was falling back to sleep I felt wet (I had just peed 2 minutes before). So I got up but I couldn't tell if it was pee, discharge, or my water I had some contractions, (nothing to get excited about) and I figured if it was anything they would keep me up, but nope. I'm still contracting this morning though and I was moist when I got up, so now idk if I should call my doctor!

Edit because I'm tired and can't type!

beachbride5 · June 2014

the anxiety about WHEN baby will start her journey out my biscuit is killing me. she is so low, i keep getting these weird nerve pains in my thigh and butt cheek, not to mention i can literally press down on my belly while it's contracting and feel her pressing on the exit. SO CLOSE.

dd came at 39wks so i was positive this little bug would be here this week or earlier. i have been driving with a towel on my car seat all week.

coffee89 · June 2014

Mostly I'm just impatient a this point. My back has been sore since last night, mild cramping that doesn't stick around, my BH have pretty much disappeared, and I've got this nagging headache and terrible heartburn.I'm just so ready for this show to get on the road.

Taymiller · June 2014

Why would I think that I could nap for more than an hour when at night I can't sleep for more than an hour due to peeing! So sick of peeing!

Me too! DD came at 39 weeks exactly and currently sitting here at 39+5. Really hoping this one will make an appearance soon especially since I've been 4cm since Tuesday.

emfoxc · June 2014

Ha, now everytime I wake up at night and don't feel like I've wet the bed, I get super disappointed.

Question about bloody show... Is it typically just a small amount or is it a lot?

Could be either or.

Jennys9 · June 2014

The never ending Braxton Hicks and legs & feet that are 6 times their size. pretty

babygabe614 · June 2014

What would you ladies consider decreased fetal movement? LO has always been super active, moving around all day long and gets especially active at a few specific times during the day/night. Her movements are usually very strong to the point they can be painful. However all day today she has made a few movements here and there but they have been much gentler than normal and very infrequent. I'm doing kick counts now before I call it in, but does this sound normal bc she is still moving, albeit less than usual, or cause for concern?

How long does cramping usually last after a cervical check?

For me personally, 12 - 18 hours,,,

ETA she passed the kick counts in like 10 minutes so I guess I'm worried for nothing!

babygabe614 · June 2014

Thanks for the tip @njbabymama‌! I ate a popsicle when I was doing kick counts and I think it got her moving

lest12 · June 2014

@babygabe614‌ - my dr told me some decrease was normal at this point (more sleep cycles for the baby)... as long as I feel him check in with me every few hours.

I don't like it when he slows down that much, though!

babygabe614 · June 2014

@lest12 That's reassuring, thank you! I have to think she's got less room to do as many crazy movements in now so hopefully this is just normal! As of this morning she's wiggling around much more so maybe yesterday was a fluke!
