Horrible pain in my Virginia! It's so weird. Today is my EDD. I know 100% that can mean LO can be another 2 weeks, especially since I have no signs of anything starting, but as a FTM I just cannot believe this date is here! Sorry not really a symptom- though the excitement of knowing the date could be what's keeping me up.
I should've never gotten my membranes stripped. I've been consistently contracting with relentless back pain ever since (almost 12 hours). But it's not stop me in my tracks pain...just ow this really hurts pain...aaaand I have work in the AM and for the next 3 days.
Shit or get off the pot, uterus.

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
Besides being up at 3 am and heading to the kitchen to eat (twice) I'm feeling pretty good. I seem to get a fair amount of hip pain during the day and the only thing that can make it better is laying down or standing up but other than that I'm good. Best wishes to you ladies that are having a rough time!
I got up to pee an hour ago and I can't fall back asleep. At least my SO will be getting up in about an hour and a half so then I can turn the tv on or crochet. Also, I'm having some type of contractions... I don't know if they're just more painful BH ones or the start of the real deal. They seem to be stronger and longer than anything I've experienced before, so we'll see what today brings.
Aaaaand then I passed an orange sized blood clot while laboring. Not even of mucus for it to be my mucus plug. I thought my water was breaking butttt it was just blood. Off to L&B. Hope my coworkers don't murder me.

I've now started feeling crampy like symptoms. They feel like period cramps more than anything, so annoying. How many different types of cramps am I going to feel before I get this baby out? Hahaha
Blah they think it's from my ex low lying placenta. And I'm 4-5cm now but OP so back labor is no joke. They're making me stay well guess today is baby day!

A little behind on updates.. Friday went dr about bp issues.. Saturday in L&D for bp issues. Both times about 1cm-ish dilated nothing else. Dr this morning. Blood pressure is great. I am 80% effaced and 2 dialated. Dr stripped my membranes. Been contracting all day, nothing completly unbearable a lot of pressure and irregular. A little bloody since then to be expected. I walked alot today and went shopping with the best friend (she is 26w ) and got little bear some newborn clothes. We didn't buy any newborn because we didn't expect him to be a little guy. But he is estimated at 6.5 pounds now. I am hopeful he will be here soon.
This is a different kind of hell. I know heartburn is so common, but I cannot handle two weeks of this new bs.
Every time I move, I get the urge to be sick. I can't lay down, even though I'm exhausted and just want to sleep.
Each time the hubby turns over in bed, I get a wave of nausea bc I feel like food I ate yesterday is coming back up.
Baby keeps getting startled by the acid grumbling in my belly, and moves, which causes either BH or another wave of heartburn nausea.
Does Zantac 150 actually work? I don't want to take Phenergan if nausea isn't the real problem.
Oh, and still having all the other normal crap preg symptoms.
I started having this exact same issue a couple weeks ago, the acid reflux and nausea was so bad, it was actually waking me up after I'd been asleep for awhile. Tums, which had been effective for me all along, were no longer doing anything. But Zantac did help! I take it before bed and I've been able to sleep for a few nights now.
My dr also said it was safe to take Prevacid, but I was so late in the game (didn't mention it to her until my 39 week appt) that it might not be worth it, she said it generally takes a week of taking it for it to be effective, I could have a baby here by the time it started working. Thankfully, Zantac's been enough for me.
@Westypet.. I was having heartburn so bad it was making me nauseous and actually throw up. I was miserable! TUMS were no longer working for me either. I started taking Zantac every night after supper and it has been a HUGE relief! Hope it helps you too! Heartburn sucks!

I've been on prescription Zantac since 32 weeks, when the tums stopped working. It's the preventative kind you take twice a day and it is amazing. Every now and then I get a twinge of heartburn and at that point 2 tums clears it up. Best thing ever. Should have started it earlier.
I just feel off. I can't eat without almost immediately feeling full and a little queasy despite having zero nausea up to this point. Also SO MUCH PELVIC PRESSURE. Dr said last week that baby was sitting super low in my pelvis and I believe that. Hopefully it will make me start to dilate. 37+1 today and hoping she's cooked enough to want to come out soon. I can't imagine feeling like this for another 3-5 weeks.
I was checked and 4cm yesterday. So from the exam I was so sick last night. Terrible nausea and contractions every 5 minutes, for a minute in length, for over an hour. But I didn't rush in because I wanted to see if I could sleep it off a bit. Sure enough I fell asleep from taking nausea meds, and woke up with no contractions. Today I feel sore, like I did a crazy AB workout.
I can no longer determine if what I feel are movements, contractions, or soreness... My brain has given up on me and me feeling stressed over lack of progress is making me nuts....I need a plan of distraction for the week... Maybe a cruise?!
Allllllright, made it to 40 weeks! Today is my due date! Isn't there some magic eject button that is supposed to show up so I can get this show on the road!?
Sleep was horrible, as usual. Just looking forward to our appointment later this afternoon and hoping the full moon kicks in before then.
I couldn't sleep last night, but that was mainly because my husband is on his 2 week rotation of night shift, and I have a harder time sleeping those nights. I am so so so nauseated, tired and sore. We have a baby appointment today, I am really interested to see if I dilated any, I know it doesn't really matter but she is so low, huge difference from last week and I have so much pressure. So I just want to know if that has actually changed anything. 15 days until my c section.
Also, I have a question, is anyone else experiencing less fetal movement towards the end? Is that normal because they are running out of space? Or should I mention it today?
@mrs1374a I have noticed longer periods of her being very quiet but then when she does move she's goes wild. I would definitely mention it though because they may want to monitor just to double check things.
SO ITCHY I WANT TO RIP MY SKIN OFF. phew glad I got that out there. Also the longer over I go without having this baby the more anxious I'm getting that something is going to go horribly wrong. I have an appointment later today, hoping baby is engaged so I can feel a little better about inducing her.
I had a migraine last night. I'm still not feeling 100% today, got that lovely hungover feeling. My coworker gets them, too and called in. I'm mad because I wanted to call in, too. Everyone is like poor Dana, hello I'm over 36 weeks pregnant and no one feels bad for me.
Last week I complained alot about breathing problems and contractions. Today I'm 37 wks and 5 days and my doctor said he'll strip my membrane. However, I am no longer having those symptoms. Wondering what I should do. Last time he checked I was only 1cm dilated.
My appointment is tomorrow and I am hoping I've made some progress and can be induced. I was with my last son when he was born 8 years ago and it went nice an quick. This weekend the four kids are with their dad so the timing would be perfect. I'm petrified of going in the middle of the night on a school night when I have them all and not being able to get anyone over here to watch them! Irrational yes because everyone's on baby watch!
DH installed the window AC unit in our bedroom last night....slept so well. Woke up early still, yet I feel rested. Going for my weekly appointment today. I've decided against cervical checks and to just let things happen as they will. My anticipation and impatience will not help my labor progress. Lol. Happy that I'm officially full term, and that besides feeling like I'm 90 yrs old when I first wake up, I feel pretty good today. My hearts go out to all my fellow pregnant mommas suffering the crappy third trimester symptoms. ❤️
Anyone else on here feel like they are crawling out of their skin? I'm 38 weeks and I got up this morning feeling like I was on some sort of speed. I'm shaky and can't sit still. I haven't wanted to eat for days and I'm ready to just bolt on 8 directions at once!
Nearly 40 weeks & I experienced acid reflux for the first time ever last night when my chicken kabobs & hummus shot right up my esophagus at 2:30AM. DH didn't even flinch when I shot up in bed!
Lost what I believe was my mucus plug yesterday morning & had pink tinged discharge. Of course after that lower back pain & pelvic pressure followed. The PP was so bad I felt like every step I took LO could fall out at any moment. My midwife indicated my cervix is ripening & labor could be imminent in the next few days but we'll see. My next appt is Thursday....let's see if I can make it. Really counting on this full moon tonight!!
Just feeling anxious. I'm starting to worry about postpartum anxiety because I'm having so many irrational fears right now. Just going to keep an eye on myself! My doctors appointment is tomorrow and I'll find out whether or not she thinks it's best to induce next week at 39 weeks. I'm hoping my anxiety eases after we know more.
@SammeMotley I actually saw this on Facebook a few weeks ago and thought about it when my alarm went off for the third time this morning. Perfect for today! I'm crazy for finishing this school year! Can I please just go home, watch TV, and eat Junior Mints all day?
Cramps and sick Really really wishing this chest cold goes away before I go into labor. My lungs hurt so bad. Every time I cough I get a contraction. As of this morning feeling super stuffed up and a migraine. Not fun, and not something I want to deal with while having a newborn.
Since Saturday I have had NO appetite and every time I eat I get super sick. I had morning sickness up until 37 weeks, it died off. Now its back.
So much complaining today I just want to feel better...
Re: 6/2 Daily Symptoms: One Day Closer... How Do You Feel?
I have never wanted to be in pain or cut open so bad in my life.
Hoping she comes before my scheduled csection on the 23rd. Having lots of back pain and anytime she moves it can bring me to my knees.
Shit or get off the pot, uterus.
Night #2 of no sleep. I'm hot. I pee every 15 minutes. Hips hurt despite icing them before bed.
D.o.n.e.
Ohhhhh wait that's right....... I have 19-20 more days of this crap!!!!!! I can't be d.o.n.e.
@dancegurl1118 hope it's labor! Thinking of you!
This meme is dedicated to all of us that are miserable for when pregnancy is over.........
Full moon tonight ladies!
