Can you believe it ladies?! It's actually June. The count down is on (not that it hasn't been, but something about it being our birth month makes it seems all so real!)! How are you feeling today?
Yay we did it! The big month is FINALLY here! Never thought June would get here! 9 more days for me ! Constant contractions but no baby yet hopefully he makes his appearance soon!
Sucky. Joints hurt. Everything hurts. After 2 nights of awesome sleep .... It's going down the crapper again...... I have my 36 1/7 weeks GBS vagina and butt swab today.... Yay!!!! So excited for all the ladies delivering!
I think I want to nickname my new stretch marks..... Get to know them you know..... Become friends. Any ideas?
Here's 2 quotes I'm reading to myself today for positive inspiration and a little humor.
In case you can't read the Drew Barrymore quote it says "my limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped." Good goal
My biggest symptom...irritability. Seriously I want to snap all the time. Poor DH, I know he's taking the brunt of it, and probably rightly so because he "causes" most of it. Lol. I'm also having a small case of anxiety this morning thereby leading to insomnia. The same things just keeps rolling over in my brain, keeping me awake. Other than that, it's the same ol' stuff: swelling in hands and feet, carpel tunnel, and occasional lightening crotch. :-??
I'm feeling ok! Six days out from EDD, with some period-like cramping in my lower back, intermittent BH contractions, and plenty of lightning crotch. I'm hoping that baby is getting ready to make an appearance because I am so ready to meet her! I'll admit that while this isn't a symptom, I'm feeling very jealous of mommies that are already holding their babies!
Yes it is finally June!! Yesterday I had some pink mucus with rusty colored strands in it, and I was excited because it was some new progress. This morning, nothing special though, back to normal. And far less contractions last night than the night before. Sigh. Oh well, more time to wash stuff in Dreft...
I think today may be the day! I'm 39 weeks and I've been having contractions every 12 minutes for the last 4 and a half hours. There have been some other "signs" but I'll spare you ladies the details. These contractions are way different, like they hurt bad and they last forever!
Pregsomnia is at an all time high. Only ONCE have I actually slept a good stretch, like 10-5. I miss sleep. . Swollen hands and carpal tunnel have been way worse this pregnancy. So much so my finger joints kind of pop out of socket if I try to close my hands and make a fist, especially the middle fingers, anyone else?
The heat is really kicking into high gear and it's miserable. I went to a kid's birthday party yesterday and it was outside in 97 degree weather, ugh. I sweated like a freakin' pig and that heat isn't helping sleep.

Today marks the first time I've ever put on my big girl pants and said NO to a visitor! A sweet but needy friend kept insisting she was coming next week (I'm due Friday, wtf) or if not, then immediately after my mom leaves in 2 weeks. No, lady. No.
So today's symptom is a stronger backbone. And also, it's almost 1:00 pm and I'm still in bed. Other than laziness, I'm doing alright!
Insomnia is back with a vengeance. Ughhh. I'm gonna be one cranky fat pregnant lady tomorrow. I'm already feeling the crankiness. I'm beyond tired. It's 6 in the morning. I. Just. Want. Sleep. ( I have one week until my due date and two weeks until induction if I don't go into labor on my own. Just 14 more nights or less.....
Major insomnia last night. I just kept thinking about how it's really June! Besides insomnia, I also feel irritable. Everyone is acting so inconvenienced that LO isn't here yet...Umm I'm not due until tomorrow and even if I go late (totally likely), I'm sorry to interrupt YOUR schedule! The next person to ask is about to get Wonka-ed.
So excited for everyone who is delivering and having major signs I've had a few random contractions the past few days. Maybe those will start becoming more frequent \:D/
I was telling DH last night that I can't believe June is finally here. Our childless lives will be flipped upside any day now (EDD is 6/4).
Other than some BH and some inconsistent mild cramping, no signs of birthing as of yet. I'm remaining patient and trying to keep my mind busy with small projects here & there. I've also been telling family to stop putting pressure on me. Don't call me, I'll call you!
I have insomnia like most of us do but I've been napping like a champ! Happy Birth Month ladies!!!!
Pregsomnia, frequent urination, contractions, and dry heaving (which is worse to me, I'd rather vomit) I've got 1 week, 5 days to go. Ready to get this show on the road.
Eek! June! I'm feeling rather un-pregnant today, other than having achy back and limbs. I hope that baby girl makes an appearance soon though, I have been cheating a bit with respect to my GD and I don't really want to be reprimanded by the dietician again at Wednesday's appointment (although on the plus side it would most likely be my very last dietician's appointment.
Good luck to all those ladies who are at the "real deal" stage!
I haven't slept well in a week. Even with the bed to myself, I just can't get comfortable. LO is all up in my ribs so I'm pretty much uncomfortable all the time. 2 more weeks, I'm not sure if I'm ready for 2 kids but I sure as hell am ready to not be pregnant.
Pregsomnia, peeing every too often, BH, really painful cramping in my back, wanting to stab someone, nausea and vomiting last night every hour or so, swelling (I barely recognize my face but the doc said it was normal), joint pain in my fingers (can't wear the fake rings I bought 2 weeks ago), hanger pains, and weepiness over all these symptoms. I definitely don't feel control over my body anymore.
Due date isn't until June 18th. How do women do it? 2-3 more weeks of this? I'm feeling very "I don't think I can do this ever again" this morning.
Recovery symptoms for me! Cramping and soreness are my main complaints. Thankfully Motrin and Percocet are helping. TMI I'm really happy because I've peed 3 times since delivery! They threatened me with a catheter the first time since I was having trouble and I was determined to make it happen... it's still kind of scary to do with stitches only a few inches away though!
Ready to not be Pregnant, I've had to have labor stopped twice and now that the dr has giving me the green light saying he won't stop labor baby girl is staying put.
I'm irritable and sore, with a new constant pressure on my spine that I don't remember having with my son.
I am so excited that I've made it to June! Thanks babies!!!
40 week due date is June 25, but with twins I always knew I'd go earlier than that. EVERYONE predicted they'd be born in May; one friend even predicted April . Suck it, people.
My goal was always to make it to June, and here we are! Let's just see if they'll hang around til my c section on the 11th.
I woke up from a dream I don't remember the details of, but I do know in my dream I wasn't pregnant, and my body felt so good! For all I know the details were just me standing and sitting and stretching and moving around and just feeling everything in place and moving properly. I woke up and crashed headfirst into reality with no airbags. Bonk, smash, oww... Everything hurts.
So far today - extreme disappointment and nagging discomfort are my symptoms. I'm tired of hurting and being tired. :-<
Was up from 4am with lots of cramping and backache and contractions q8 so that was good. Nothing to get excited over, just happy my body knows that we're getting ready for the big show.
For the longest time I've been saying I NEED TO GO TO 40 WEEKS for leave purposes...as of Thursday at 7:23pm I will be done with this weeks work schedule so PLEASE BABY COME BETWEEN THEN AND MONDAY 7AM!
TTC: 1/2014
BFP: 9/24
EDD: 6/8/2015
Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.

My GD was out of control last week. I've been under a lot of stress, and I was also diagnosed with Shingles. So, I think my body is just reacting to the stress and illness. I'm not supposed to email my dietitian until next week but I might send her a quick email to be on he safe side. Surprisingly, my fasting numbers are great.
Thank God it's June!!!!!! 3 more days until induction and I can't wait!!!!!! Woke up today with the most horrendous back pain I have ever had, which is saying something for me since I have a form of scoliosis. Also holy heartburn!!!! Thursday can't come soon enough for this mama!
Was up half the night with acid reflux (coughing, choking and spitting up acidic crap), and now I'm walking quickly to the bathroom at work because I have a digestive situation. I'm hoping it's a digestive situation, as it's hard to tell if I have baby cramps or poop cramps (sorry, no delicate way of describing that more accurately). If this is labor, I guess it's good I'm getting all the crap out of the way now? Can't believe it's June!!
Feeling worried that I am going to go past my due date... Worried because I make big babies and really don't want to end in a c-section....tomorrow is a full "strawberry" moon so here's to hoping something happens!
@hswan26 yay! And good luck mama! We will be excited to hear an update & what a beautiful day for a birthday!
@amark11 nice work! I had to tell an unimpressed friend this weekend that they weren't coming by until we sent an invite either. Good on us!
Yesterday I had mild braxton hicks, they never really let up and lasted from 11:30am until I went to bed last night. I even had a friend approach me and say 'omg can I touch your belly?! It looks so hard!'. Lol
The BH did however stopped when I laid down last night, but again they started as soon as I got up again this morning. They're difficult to time because they feel constant, but still mild. Little peaks every 8 minutes or so, I think. One just seems to roll into the next, so I'm not sure what type of mean uterus game this is, but I don't want to play anymore! My tummy muscles and the anticipation/anxiety is driving me nuts. Lol I'm exhausted!
Today's symptoms: my hands and feet hurt so bad, carpal tunnel in FULL effect. My baby's butt is all up in my ribs making them achey as per usual. And again, for the third day in a row, this girl is having a serious FIESTA, kicking, rolling, elbowing, kneeing, whatever it is, it's gigantic movements and i'm still feeling like i'm harboring an alien. You ladies heard it first, when this girl comes out, she's gonna dance like Elaine.
Horrible back pain, some lightning crotch, major swelling in the hands and feet, and just overall discomfort. I've actually been sleeping a little better, so excited about that. Just 2 more days until my scheduled c-section! @423ang, I hear you! Everyone told me I'd deliver in May. They said with twins I would never make it to June. Well here I am, 38 weeks today and still no signs of labor. My EDD is June 15. Babies are big, strong and healthy, so I will be having my repeat c-section on Wednesday! I'm so excited! Mine have decided after months head down to be stubborn. I have one breech and one transverse.
Swollen feet and he's now grinding his head against my pelvis which feels less than fantastic. I'm due Friday and seriously hoping for earlier. I'm not sure if it's a symptom of pregnant me or what but I'm itchy everywhere!!!!!!!
I'm starting to get motion sickness from all this kicking and moving from the LO. My EDD is the 30th however they will likely induce by next week at 37 weeks since she's measuring small and hasn't grown much since 30 weeks. So I've been seeing a specialist once a week and then getting fetal monitoring as well later in the week. Just hoping she comes out healthy! Just feeling pregnant, tired, and of course peeing like crazy
I am so anxious today. I feel nauseous and dizzy. Doctor told me this morning I was 4cm dilated so I think I am just really anxious about the impending doom my vagina is facing.
Yay for June! It also means no more teaching for me. So while I was up from 4-6 am, I didn't have to get dressed and go work all day. So wonderful!
Last night I just could not get comfortable. Couldn't sit, couldn't stand, baby must've been in a weird position. My ankles were so swollen and I couldn't breathe with my feet up. Little feet in my ribs ALL the time.
There's moments I'm not ready to have this baby and moments like last night that I just wish I could take off this belly and get a break! I'm not due until June 27 so I still have some time...maybe..who knows.
Good news: I have a prenatal massage tomorrow!!!! I'm so looking forward to it. My hips and back need it.
Well after last week having tons of contractions and the DR thinking my water was leaking still nothing... Contractions have slowed down and so have all my other symptoms. 6 days till my due date but I feel like she is never gonna come out. I feel like there is no way that she is gonna be here by or before her due date. But I said from the beginning that I thought she'd be late.
My only symptoms at this point is a chest cold and I feel like Im retaining a lot of fluid for the first time. I'm drinking a ton but not peeing very much. Which has allowed me to get some sleep but it made me gain a couple pounds over night. Oh and some cramping.
My back is killing me! It's also very strange when baby moves sometimes I can hear pops like my back or hips are popping. Sunday is EDD looking forward to my apt. on Wednesday. It seems like one second I'm ready for him and the next I'm freaking out telling him to stay put lol. O this emotional roller coaster! So excited for this little June bug!
Don't hate me, 39weeks +2 and feel pretty good. But could be baby taking it easy on her mama today for my birthday. Also starting maternity leave today so I'm enjoying my couch!
Re: Daily symptoms for June 1st!!!! OMG it's June!
Never thought June would get here! 9 more days for me !
Constant contractions but no baby yet hopefully he makes his appearance soon!
After 2 nights of awesome sleep .... It's going down the crapper again......
I have my 36 1/7 weeks GBS vagina and butt swab today.... Yay!!!!
