Bad reflux/heartburn 2cm 30% effaced Was told babies head is still high at -3
Feel lots of pressure, especially today, constant backache, lots of BH all day long everyday, some cramping, have had stomach ache, and feel like I need to poop all the time! Also, I have zero energy but can't sleep much bc I'm so ready and excited to meet boy #3!
Thursday was spent in bed, with NO energy, Crazy heartburn and nausea, couldn't eat for a day and a half, diarrhea, had REAL contractions, for a day and a half, then nothing. Stopped Cold.
Increased discharge
baby's head is very LOW
Starting to feel sick again, hoping it's not another day of useless real contractions, and feeling sick
37 + 4 and other than some occasional lower back pain/period type cramps, nada. I haven't had a cervical check and probably won't until 39 weeks. My first DD was born at 37 + 3 and I had zero signs/symptoms and bam, my water broke. I'm in no hurry and hope this one cooks until at least after the holiday, and I'm fine waiting even longer.
Sorry to butt in with a question-- but I thought this might be the right place!
FTM here at 36 + 3... A few days ago my midwife checked my cervix. She said it's softening but not dilated. She also said that she could feel the baby's head "right there," I'm assuming pressed against the cervix.
Does this mean the baby has "dropped" or is there some further movement into the pelvis that she still has to do? I haven't noticed any real changes otherwise... Just more tired and more sore than usual.
37+5 -Braxton hicks still in full swing -Period like cramping -Tons of rectum/vaginal pressure -Pelvic bone may possible break in two if I bend over any more -I've always had regular BM's but this 3-4 a day is a little ooc!! -nesting is an understatement -boobs leaking -discharge but I think Its been the same my whole pregnancy -RCS scheduled for July 10 but I'm ready when he is lol
Ok I got rechecked today....2 1/2 cm, 80 percent effaced, and at a plus one. I'm trying not to get to excited. Dr said she wouldn't say that I would go into labor soon but that she was confident that I wouldn't make it past my due date! I'm not going to lie I'm hoping he comes sooner then later!
Swelling...legs and feet (ouch) Cramping prior to ck Bk pain Headaches Lots of discharge Sharp shooting pains in pelvic area Indigestion Heartburn Frequent urination Greedy (lol) Baby is head down and semi low Scale almost broke... BH!!! Nausea Diarrhea
-constant pooping. -cramps and contractions randomly throughout the day, and then like "for real? Nah..." all night. -hip pain. -intense pressure in the vag and butt areas. Like baby is constantly stretching downward. -more hiccups? I feel them in my butt. -still no sign of the MP and no timeable contractions. Boooooo.
-hips/pelvis cracking anytime I change positions in bed. -increased BM -HORRENDOUS heartburn. -pressure in vag/butt, constant feeling of needing to be sitting on toilet -lots of BH -lots of contractions (irritable uterus), but not really timeable. -zero energy
RCS scheduled for 7/22, so no cervical checks. He measured it on US at my last appointment, but didn't mention if it'd thinned at all.
Not sure if anything I have could be considered a pre-labor symptom.
37 +3/4 days (lost track :P) *Floaters in eyes (yes called doc, they are unconcerned since baby is moving) *Extreme itchiness (still waiting on blood test results, have meds for it) *pressure in lower abdomen but no contractions or braxtion hicks *Morning sickness is back *Heartburn (but I have had that since 15 weeks) *Light headed and dizzy on occasion (doc is unconcerned, normal BP readings) *Sore back (but that is normal) *Frequent urination (but that is normal too)
35 week appt last Wed - 0 cm - no pre-labor symptoms - head down
36 week appt yesterday - 2 cm --- yay! Progress! - mild, sporadic contractions - peeing more frequently (didn't think that was possible) - head down and dropped slightly - some backache relief (I'm assuming b/c LO is lower.) - tired and trouble sleeping - lots of cramping after my exam
Declined the cervical check this morning. But figured I better list my symptoms since when I told them to my OB today she went from thinking baby would be around EDD or late to "Hmm, well maybe he could come early?"
-loose stools. And no longer needing to take Colace to be able to produce anything. Yay.
-Lower back pain. Ugh.
-Baby's head feels like he's going Pro Football Player headbutt on my pelvic bone.
-When I wake up at night to pee, getting out of bed is even more difficult than just a few days ago and results in burning pain in the muscles on either side of my uterus for about 10 mins.
-When baby stretches out--oh, the pain. I have to pat his little foot to make sure it stays INSIDE my skin.
Had an appointment today. No change in cervix: 1 cm dilated, 0% effaced (cervix thick), baby's head not engaged.
Doctor did a membrane sweep (tried) and it was very uncomfortable at only 1 cm. He doubts it will do anything. I was told that a membrane sweep has a better chance of working if you're active after... bouncing on an exercise ball, walking, cleaning, etc.
Otherwise:
-Semi-regular contractions have completely disappeared
-slight cramping (probably from the membrane sweep)
-on and off feelings of lots of pressure.. like his head engages and then goes back up
-dizzy/lightheaded
-pelvic soreness
I thought I was going to have him soon. But now I'm thinking he won't be here until 41 weeks.
Lost mucus plug week ago today Got checked today and 4 1/2 -5cm dilated OB said she could feel bag of waters 'right there' Stomach tight Low back pain
Doctor going on vacation next week and wished me good luck because she didn't think she would be delivering baby. Soo I think this baby is coming soon!! So nervous and scared of labor but ready to kiss her face.
Annoyed as hell because my Dr doesn't think I'll make it to Monday but since my show Tuesday I feel like virtually nothing is going on.
Constantly toilet bound Peeing a little every sneeze Horrible hip pain that brings me to my knees (I sat on the floor in Walmart today) So mean (poor DH) Pukey
-BH "episodes"- contractions irregular -Dull low back pain like period cramps -Cramps in pelvis like period cramps -Urge to clean my house -Feeling like i wanna just sit on the toilet to relieve pressure -Monster heartburn yesterday- none today -Fatigue -Sharp twinges like needle pricks inside birth canal (been happening since 34wk) - small feeling of nausia during some BH contractions
-Tons of BH -A few real contractions -Loose stool -Feeling like I need to contantly use the bathroom or just sit on the toilet to relieve pressure -Swollen feet/ankles, more so on the right side -Super bitchy -Sharp pains in groin/hip that sometimes send me to me knees
I am loving this post. It is one of the most helpful threads I've read in awhile. It seems like there are tons of questions at the start and end with that never ending wait in the middle!
39+3 (FTM) -Lots of cramps -Increased discharge (mucus plug?) -More pressure even though it looks like I haven't dropped (feels like his head is straight on a nerve at times) -dull throb (nerve pain) in right shoulder -incredibly swollen feet/ankles
Hey guys quick question?? Im 36 weeks and 2 days I've been having pressure in vaginal area, cramping, lower back pain on and off, also yesterday it felt like he wasn't trying to push himself out. I am 3 cm dialted and he is very low, Not sure how low but last time they checked they told me he was very very low. So my question is.... is this early signs of labor? It has been going on for 3 days now. I also think I lost my mucus plug last week but it was yellow, like discharge.
