Induction scheduled for May 7th!!! Very excited! Feeling all those super uncomfortable symptoms but definitely want her to stay in there to fully cook!
So many BH contractions these last three days... What a tease! Not sure about cervical info, my 38 week appt is Friday...well, technically its my 39 week since Saturday marks a new week for me each week. But, I had an US at my 37 week check up for measuring small, turns out baby is so low, we couldn't see her face through my pubic bone! Also explains why I was "measuring small." I'm super crampy, irritable, and I've been nesting uncontrollably for like a week Lol. No sleep position is comfortable enough to make me feel rested, and LO loves to grind her little head into my bladder, giving me the constant urge to piddle... I'd say "pee," but that insinuates that I actually produce enough urine in one toilet visit to warrent yellow water... But no. Its usually a "drip drip," and the urge to pee remains Lol. Also, anyone sweating up a storm during the night? I mean, jeez, I dont remember any of these symptoms with my first!
@MommaAlyx ditto to almost everything you're saying. I'm a FTM so I have no idea of what I'm feeling are BH or real at all.
@Sunshine4020 what exciting news! Measuring 40 weeks?! I have another appointment tomorrow so I'll find out if these contractions this weekend have been doing any work!
I'm due 5/10 but my doctor wants to induce at 39wks which puts me around 5/4. Really hoping I go naturally next week at 38 so I can avoid pitocin!! Baby is super low and I have tons of pressure and BH, but I'm not dilating or effaced at all yet
Now at 39+2. Still (not so) patiently waiting!! No sign of mucous plug or contractions. I was crampy and feeling weird last Thursday, 4/23, but then nothing! How's everyone holding up?
38+5 here. I had contractions for hours yesterday but as soon as it was time to go, they stopped. That was my 3rd day of noticeable contractions. Ughhhh
I'm 38 today and have lost my plug this week. BH like crazy for the past month and I'm getting achier every day in my hips and legs which I hope is my body getting ready. I haven't had a cervical check yet because my midwives don't usually until 38 weeks. I have an appointment on Thursday so I'm hoping that they'll check and maybe do a sweep. I just really don't want to go over and need an induction. I want my birth centre water birth!!!
I am also 38 weeks today, but no sign of lost plug. I am definitely having those aches in my hips and pelvis like you. Plus... I think she dropped the other night. Hopefully signs that she is soon to come!
38+3 due May 7th. I'm 1 1/2 cm dilated and have been for 2 weeks :-S. Dr said cervix is very thin but still up pretty high and baby is definitely head down. Dr says still pretty good progress for a ftm. Haven't had any contractions lately. Just tons of pelvis pressure so I lay on my side mostly. I hope I've dilated more by my appointment Thursday. I want to go natural (med free) so I need all the progress I can get!
39w +1 and feeling lots of BH contractions, pelvic pressure/pain,and have been 2cm and 75% effaced for 2 weeks now. I go Tues to the dr hoping they move things along by stripping some membranes! I'm with you ladies, so ready to meet this little girl and get my old body back. Getting up 5 times a night struggling to roll out of bed is a bitch. At least when baby comes I'll be getting up to see her sweet face and not the toilet every time! Home stretch! We can do this! =D>
Due May 10th here. Excited and nervous. This is my second and hoping everything goes smoothly. Going to try for a vbac. Still working, swelling,and nesting. Lots of Braxton hicks. I was 75% effaced but only a finger tip dilated last week. Hoping for more progress this week!
Due date is 5/4 and you guys I haven't had ONE contraction or mucous plug or anything that says "you're going to have your baby in 1 week" Seriously getting frustrated over here lol anyone else feel absolutely nothing except giant?
I'm due may 2 and the only thing I've had is lost my mucus plug. That and I know he's fully engaged, but I haven't had any cervical checks so I don't know anything else. Just hoping he doesn't wait too long after his due date to arrive
39 weeks tomorrow! I haven't had any real signs of labor either. At my appointment on Thursday the doctor said I was not dilated but my cervix was thinning and her head is still down. I don't think this baby is in any hurry to come out! I am measuring big and have an ultrasound scheduled for 5/5 to check size (one day after my due date). I was hoping not to have to be induced but if she keeps growing at this rate I may be asking for it!
38+4 here, Due May 7th but scheduled cesarean 4/30. I'm. TIRED! Period. I don't sleep anymore...and when I do it's on the couch because I can't get out of the bed. Lots of menstrual type cramps, contractions and still have a very active baby. I lost a bit of my mucous plug yesterday. The heartburn is miserable and so is the 66 pounds I've gained. Everything hurts. And on top of it, I've had no relief from allergies for 3 weeks. I'm a little over this. Lol! On a better note, I can see the light!!! Come on Thursday!!!

Yeah I'm seriously not wanting to get induced (mostly for increased risk of c-section) but I may not have a choice
I have been having menstrual like cramps for over a week now, having loose stools, having an increase in discharge, increase in braxton hicks, nausea...... Im 39 weeks and 4 days. IM SO READY TO HAVE THIS BABY!
Was due 5/1 also. No signs that labor is on its way. I've been having contractions for weeks, but they're not becoming more painful or Intense. Ugh! At this point I'm impatient and grumpy.

How's everyone else holding up? Symptoms? Labor? Babies??
