Something happened in the last few days, and suddenly I'm getting the worst gas pains. They are sudden and shooting and sharp. Fortunately they go away when I go to the bathroom - which all happens very quickly and urgently. But I don't like feeling stabbing pain in my anal.
I think it's from switching my prenatal and upping my magnesium. Might have to take a day or two off and see if that helps.
Turning over in bed has become soooo painful. I have to go super slow and it takes awhile. But, I have to turn over or I can't sleep! Vicious cycle.
Yes! It hurts like a B. FOR. NO. REASON.
I keep asking DH, "why is it so hard for me to roll over?" DH: because you're pregnant. Me: I KNOW. I just mean, like why exactly. No abs? Baby on my organs? DH: you're pregnant. Me: :-@

It doesn't feel like BH. It stings, and then if baby wriggles at all, THEN there's a freaking contraction or BH. And just forget being able to move if you have to pee at all. Hurts like a mofo!
For the first time, I'm actually angry that hubby and cat are sleeping peacefully. Part of me wants to stomp around every 20 mins and wake everyone up so they can feel the suck, too.
38 weeks- the possibility of potentially 3 more weeks of this is terrifying.
Went to the hospital tonight. My contractions felt awful but after an 1hour and 30mins and my third cervical check for the day I didn't progress but a hair further from 5. Not that I expect to unless I go into real labor. So spotting and hours later still dealing with baby versions of what I was dealing with a couple of hours ago. Other than that though I don't feel to be a 5. I thought it'd feel like a baby falling out of my V but nope. Also these crazy medical people keep talking about how I should already have a scheduled induction... Ummm I'm not even 40weeks yet... And found out the OB I've been seeing my entire pregnancy and even saw during my awful miscarriage won't be delivering my baby if she's not on call. Like WTF!? You couldn't tell me so I can get a taste of a little everyone first!? ..... I'm starting to miss my midwife.
Same. Allll night. I literally slept 0 winks. Baby better decide to come today, or the uterus had better knock it off so I can nap later or I will be one cranky pregnant lady.
^^this has happened last two nights! buuuut I end up falling asleep in the early am and sleeping until 3 pm, so now I'm just all backwards....but oh well I'll be conditioned for up all night feedings right?
I might be going to the hospital to see if my water broke... I feel leaky and I don't think it's pee. My OB said to go get checked and not wait around if I think my water breaks because of GBS. I'm not really having contractions, but I am experiencing some pretty intense cramps that feel like I'm getting my period. And not to be gross, but I've had wicked diarrhea and I think I've been losing pieces of my MP. I hope that baby can hang out for just one more day because SO has a really important presentation at work today that he cannot skip.
So I have FIVE different OBs, the reason they do this was because if a doctor was on call and also delivering a different doctor would call, plus some would work... Anyways, sorry for TMI but I've been having watery discharge that got on the heavy side yesterday so around 7pm I called them just to get a doctors opinion instead of going to l&d because I don't live close by & I no longer have any appts left because I'm getting induced on Saturday... The on call nurse said someone would call me back and I said okay, FOUR HOURS went by and still no call... So I called AGAIN to say I'm not sure if the wrong number was taken or what's going on but I called four hours ago and I would really like to speak to a doctor. She apologized and said another doctor would call me and if they didn't within ten minutes to call back. Being 40 weeks pregnant i would think this is a decently serious situation since I'm a FTM and I don't really know how everything is supposed to feel and such... Anyways..My doctor finally called back to say she truthfully believed it was just discharge but I was welcome to come in for an appt today, and I explained to her that I figured it was discharge but I wanted to be safe and hear a DOCTOR say it. & she said if it starts gushing out, to call again and then most likely I'll be sent to l&d... & all I can say is IF it starts to "gush" out & I call them and it even takes one hour to call back I'm just gunna go right to l&d! ANYWAY that's my vent/symptom for today !!! Hope everyone is doing well for this home stretch!!

Frustrating! If you do go in, keep your saturated pad, the nurse may be able to use this to determine if it's actually your membranes that have ruptured

Sounds like just another way your body is getting ready to have that babe...stabbing anal is definitely a thing, but ouch.

Was blaming the new pills but if it's a step forward, I'll take it. Thanks!!
So I'm still contracting (approx 5min apart now- started last night around 8pm every 10min) and definitely just lost my MP. I'm just waiting for DH to be done in the shower and then I'll wake up DS so we can take him over to my inlaws.
Fingers crossed ladies, today MAY be baby day (and maybe if I'm lucky I'll succeed with a VBAC).
I'm a ball of nerves and excitement. I'm also nervous that I'm going to get to L&D and their going to say I'm crazy and tell me to go home

Last day with students today! Wahoo! I know it's not a symptom but this teacher is tired! 38 weeks today. Sore, achy, but trying to walk a lot in hopes of going into labor naturally. Nervous about making the final decision about induction next week. I still feel like it's the best choice, but I'm still nervous.
Turning over in bed has become soooo painful. I have to go super slow and it takes awhile. But, I have to turn over or I can't sleep! Vicious cycle.
Been having the same issue for a while but it keeps getting worse. The past few nights I cry in bed. The past few nights is when I it that " I am so done with this" feeling.
Ditto with the rolling over. I turn but my belly doesn't I end up in this horrible twisted position. Im used to turn shoulders belly and hips follow. Nope it's turn shoulders belly stays hop up my hips and turn them and maybe belly will follow.
Started getting lots of contractions yesterday afternoon. And they have progressed all through the night. They are getting more and more uncomfortable, starting to get on the painful side and closer together. About every 10 or less min now. Ive been up for a few hours now unable to sleep because of them.
Have a Dr appointment at 9 this morning. Hoping to get my cervix checked again purely out of curiosity.
3 days till my due date. Really hoping that today could be the day. But not getting my hopes up yet!
Yes with the turning over in bed, so uncomfortable. Today I have already thrown up about 5 times and I've been out of bed for a half hour, so that's always fun. Still cramping and a small headache. Only 13 days to go until my c section, or less if she decides.. I just can't wait to meet her.

I have the exact same pain and add on sore throat, runny nose and sneezing and it all equals one sleep deprived pregnant lady this morning.

Are we twins??? This was me yesterday and last night. Derp. I've definitely lost brain cells.
Physically, I feel like crap. But mental health is the big headline today. I feel desperate, depressed, and panicked. The whole pregnancy, the idea of stopping work prior to labor seemed absurd to me since I don't have a physically demanding job, but now it's beginning to seem sensible.
Baby is spaztic in there right now. She keeps making these jolted movements, which is super awkward. I didn't sleep last night, just not being able to get comfortable. I have a dull ache in the way bottom of my belly/ute. And more zits. Cool.
38 weeks today and lost my mucus plug this morning. Even though it doesn't mean much I'm very excited to have some type of action going on. At my appointment I was 2cm dilated. Can't wait to meet my baby boy.
So I'm joining the painful bed/sleeping club. It hurts so much. My shoulders are also starting to hurt too because of the added work they are doing trying to pivot my ass in bed. Going pee in the middle of the night is now my least favorite task. I think I also may done a little too much cleaning before bed last night.
Sneezing also hurts like a mofo. I hug my uterus tight and squeeze my legs closed every time in anticipation of the sharp pains. I've joked that I want to just sneeze and DD will just shoot out during labor. Now I feel it actually might be possible. Lol
@mccall35 good luck today! Hoping you have an easy and smooth delivery.
Going on about 36 hours of contractions now, 5-12 minutes apart.. still not serious enough to go to l&d but hurts enough that I got about 45 minutes of sleep.. I'm hoping today may be baby day but if not I'm scheduled for an induction tomorrow morning!
Well today's my due date, but.... not feeling like I'm about to go into labor or anything. I think LO is comfortable in there. It's also Day 3 of the SAME headache. It won't go away!!!!!
Have had some contractions here and there over the past few days and really hoping they pick up. Induction scheduled for Monday morning but I'd very much like her to come naturally.
1) Just lost my MP. Totally gross. Didn't happen when I was pregnant with DD (which was, like, a thousand years ago so my memory might not be the best) so wasn't prepared for it this time around. The grossness of pregnancy is going to give me PTSD.
2) Not symptom related, but...what have I been doing the last 38 weeks? Y'all are so flippin' hilarious/awesome. Pregnancy would have been a lot less lonely/boring if I had been on here more! Anyhoo, thanks for keeping me entertained lately!

Oh and the hit flAshes, holy hell!
FOR. NO. REASON.
DH: because you're pregnant.
Me: I KNOW. I just mean, like why exactly. No abs? Baby on my organs?
