GTKY: In the spirit of Valentine's Day, tell me your favorite romance movie? Or slasher movie if that's more your style
@maasybaby, PS I love you is an awesome movie! I've seen it several times, and you're right it doesn't have the same feel each subsequent time you watch it but it's still my all-time favorite!
Estimated due date? Today.
Symptoms of labor? Random low back ache/period type cramps and uterine tightening that will get regular for about an hour and than go away.
Any complaints? Have strep throat. No idea how.... But maybe her coming a little late is a blessing in disguise
FTM/STM? FTM.
Medical highlights of your appointment: told baby couldn't be any lower without being out of my body, HAHA. Also MW thinks she will be about 8lbs.
Did your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? Yup. 1cm dilated. No change from when they checked during GBS test. Very discouraged (eventhough I know it doesn't mean I can't go into labor soon) bc I am hoping for an all natural birth.
Do you have a scheduled c-section or induction date? Next Monday.
GTKY: In the spirit of Valentine's Day, tell me your favorite romance movie? I'm not really into romance or slasher movies. But who doesn't love the notebook or ps I love you?!
Estimated due date? 2/12
Symptoms of labor? Some low back pain, BH contractions, pretty sure I've lost most of my plug
Any complaints? Just major anxiety and consequent lack of sleep.
FTM/STM? FTM
Medical highlights of your appointment: Had a non-stress test because I was worried about baby's movement. Doc said everything looks good and normal--he's just running out of room to kick. Doc also said I had 2 contractions over the course of 10 minutes--but I couldn't feel them, so no biggie.
Did your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? Yes, almost 3 cm dilated and 60% effaced! But his station is still very high.
Do you have a scheduled c-section or induction date? Induction on the 19th if nothing happens between now and then.
When is your next appointment? 2/18, again assuming no baby before then
GTKY: In the spirit of Valentine's Day, tell me your favorite romance movie? The Notebook, for sure. Or actually, Moulin Rouge... sad but so good (said my inner 16-year-old).
How far along are you?
39+5
Estimated due date?
2/12...eek!
Symptoms of labor?
Back pain and random contractions, nothing regular.
Any complaints?
Hip pain has reached epic new levels, so not sleeping much as a result. Also lightning shocks from baby's head bouncing off nerve endings in pelvis, ouch.
FTM? STM?
FTM!
Medical highlights of your appointment:
Baby still keeping us on our toes by constantly changing position, I swear on the car ride over he flipped back to posterior! Weight estimated at 7lbs.
Did your doctor/midwife do a cervix check?
Yes, and it was quite uncomfortable (OB said this was probably because my cervix was very posterior - first time he's mentioned this).
Are you dilated?
Completely effaced (nothing new there) but now dilated 1cm.
Do you have a scheduled c-section or induction date?
No.
When is your next appointment?
2/18, unless baby arrives before then. If not, I'll then be monitored every 48 hours.

Romeo+Juliet! Baz Luhrmann/Leo version. Just realized that movie is almost 20 years old now, where did the time go?! But still gets me everytime
How far along are you? 40+3
Estimated due date? 2/08
Symptoms of labor? The ole plug is out. Sporadic contractions started Monday night. Now I'm timing at about 7 min apart? Perhaps this means labor, gals.
How far along are you? 38 +5
Estimated due date? 02/20
Symptoms of labor? As @maasybaby said, I've popped my cork a bit. Also random contractions here and there.
Any complaints? I need sleep. And I need my husbandman not to snore so I can get said sleep. Also, I've had crazy swelling the past week. My feet and hands have started to swell. I'm not worried about pre-e since my blood pressure and urine samples have been normal, so this is more of just inconvenient, stupid swelling. Maybe it's a sign of labor
FTM? STM? FTM
Medical highlights of your appointment: We had an ultrasound! Our Little Man has the chunkiest cheeks and the sweetest little pout. I want to kiss those little cheeks so badly. Hurry up baby! Also, he's no longer sunny side up but is now laying on his side.
Did your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? Nope. They asked me if I wanted one and I declined.
Are you dilated? No idea.
Do you have a scheduled c-section or induction date? Not at this point in time.
When is your next appointment? 2/19 the day before my due date. Fingers crossed I won't need it!

EDD is 2/25
Signs of labor? I've been having Braxton's as I call them that come with the period cramps and lower back pain but nothing regular. My hips are killing me now no matter what position I'm in.

FTM!

How far along are you? 38+2
Estimated due date? 2/25
Symptoms of labor? Nope.
Any complaints? Baby has suddenly "dropped." This has not happened to me in previous pregnancies and I don't like it. I've carried very high until a couple days ago and have been chugging along feeling well. Since baby has dropped my lower back has started hurting, my vag is swollen, my hips are sore, my waddle has become more pronounced and spin class was nearly impossible this morning. And I'll take all the rib kicks this baby can dish out if it will just stay off my cervix. Ouch!
FTM? STM? 3'rd time.
Medical highlights of your appointment:My appointments are quick and boring (in the best way). I don't get ultrasounds, NST's or BPP's so it's just in and out. Nothing exciting.
Did your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? Nope.
Are you dilated? I hope not.
Do you have a scheduled c-section or induction date? c/s scheduled for my due date. I just want to make it there with no drama. Hoping things stay dull around here.
When is your next appointment? My next and final appt is next Weds. Then, RCS on the following Weds.
