  • Having Sharp finger nails scratching my cervix is not fun!
    The bump told me that I am finally full term. I thought full term was at 39 weeks not 37.

    Is anyone surprised that TB isn't up to date?
    My OBGYN SIL just said 37 weeks, too. And my OB said 38. And did you say ACOG says 39?

    My hospitol bag looks so skimpy.
    A fluffy robe and towel are the only reasons mine isn't.
    Oh shit.  I forgot to pack my towel, or even put it on my list.  Thank god you said something.  I would have been so sad if I had to use those crappy, tiny things the hospital claims are towels.
    Shit I gotta throw one in too.  At this point, I either need a bigger hospitol bag or dh needs to get his own.

  • Another baby born on my TL....

    I just want my baby..NOW.
  • Does anyone else notice that LO is very inactive after you've had a very active day? For example my shopping day yesterday. Long day shopping and building stuff and organizing. Now I've barely felt a thing last night and this morning. Is LO just exhausted? :(

    This is me today after a crazy day yesterday. Cue the freak outs!

  • I am so frustrated by the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm not going to sleep again until this baby is out of me.  Between searing hip pain, neck pain, rib pain, and numbness in my shoulders and arms when I lie on my side, I cannot find any way to get comfortable.  I can't remember the last time I slept more than 45 minutes at a time.  I actually look forward to having a newborn because at least then, I can sleep for an hour on my back again.

    I can't believe I may have 6 more weeks of this shit.  The only thing that makes me feel any better is the fact that I'm clearly one of many tortured insomniacs on this board.

    Have you (or anyone else here) ever tried unisom? A friend swore by it during her last few weeks but I've never tried it.
    I use it!!!!!! I take it so I can go back to sleep with the million pee breaks I have every night. My mw ok'd it in my second tri.
  • Watching the Patriots game today. I was reading up on why Adrian Peterson (Vikings) isn't playing today. So so so sad and gross.

    Warning: if you don't know the story, he "whooped" his kid. He beat his kid is what it comes down to. Poor baby.

  • I just ran the vacuum... the nursery is officially DONE! \:D/

    You must use that emoticon a lot because whenever I see your HDBD photo I see you doing that dance.

  • @Syllessa‌, sorry you're missing your family. It's hard. Do you ever skype?
    We try to get home to Boston as often as we can and they come down often as often as they can.
    All our super close friends are up in Boston too so it can get hard.
    Hang in there!

    We skype occasionally.  I visited them in May, and that helped.  This past year is just the first time I've EVER lived more than 30 min away from my family.  30 years of every big life moment being surrounded by them, and now I'm a 28 hour drive away.  it's just hard.

    I love that little dance. ;) DH would tell you that's very similar to how I dance IRL.

    My DH kinda dances like that especially if he has been drinking. It's adorable.

  • Ugh I am sick of people inviting us over to hang out and 10 minutes later retracting said invite. The same couple has done this so many times! I'm going seriously stir crazy at home. I just want to get out!

    My OBGYN SIL just said 37 weeks, too. And my OB said 38. And did you say ACOG says 39?

    I think the confusion is that 37 weeks is considered "early term," but is still term.  If you deliver on your own after 37 weeks, you aren't considered at risk for preterm labor in future pregnancies.  Some sources specifically say  "the end of the 37th week," so 38 weeks, but this depends on how you measure.  TB for example, writes that you are 37 weeks when you have completed 37 weeks, not when you start the 37th week.

    The new classification of full term starts at 39 weeks, but this really only matters in the case of elective non-medically indicated inductions. 

    Whenever people say that they don't understand why people want to see their babies at 37 weeks before they are done cooking, I actually get kind of pissed off.  I want to see my baby when my body decides she is done cooking.  Do I want to be induced before 39 weeks?  No.  However, depending on family history, cervical conditions, other medical issues (like EDS, which I have, and in which typical gestation is 37-39 weeks), etc., a lot of pregnancies will still end between 37-39 weeks and that's just fine.  I hate that this early term vs. full term shit is another way moms are being made to feel bad about the way they give birth.  Everyone wants a healthy baby.


    But I am grumpy today.


    AMEN! Totally agree.

  • It is 5am and my hips are killing me. I never had this issue with my last pregnancy. I was just thinking that by this far along last time, I already had an induction date set. It is mildly weird to me that I still have 4+ weeks left instead of just 1.
    The last couple of days have been horrible for me because of lower back and hip pain. I feel like my pelvis is breaking in two and could barely walk yesterday. I told DH there is no way I can do this for another 3-4 weeks. I feel better today but am still in quite a bit of pain. It sucks! Sorry you are hurting... hopefully it's just temporary and won't be lasting the rest of pregnancy!

    Agreed. I don't think ANYONE is wishing their baby would get here sooner if it meant sacrificing their LOs health. But dang it these last weeks are uncomfortable!

    5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional.  5 BFPs.  My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.
    TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.

  • GOOD DAY TO BE A BROWNS FAN! Now time to watch the Broncos win.

    Now back to your regular discussion...

    That was a rough one for a Saints fan

    :((

    And it does suck about delivery before 39 weeks labeled as short changing the baby. I wish I could go into labor naturally but the guy needs to get here before my placenta "tanks". So he may be here at 38 weeks and some change.
  • My husband's aunt emails me like 5 times a day. Separate emails. One after the other about different things.

    I'm at the point where I want to filter them to spam and pretend I don't know why I stopped getting them.

    She's so, so nice. I feel bad. It's just... Dude. It's too much.

  • I slacked on my nesting. But in my defense, I felt like I was laying on my deathbed yesterday and it rained...which means the gloominess stole my mojo.

    I did wash four loads of laundry. I still need to buy and wash new sheets, wash three more loads, and deep clean my bathroom. This will happen!!
