Baby has dropped and I've been having some contractions. I was hoping it would relieve the heart burn but it didn't plus now I feel like vomiting and have had diarrhea (tmi) yay pregnancy.
At the hospital...it's go time. contractions are still pretty far apart but we live far away so want to be close. From the last two pregnancies both (different) docs commented on how tough the sac is to pop so hopefully we'll just pop that bad boy and things will progress quickly. I'm so ready!!
@mccall35 + @bobjo31 Good luck ladies!! @mollyanne01 I couldnt agree more, this board has been so much of what has kept me sane these last few weeks.
So i know i said last thursday was my last day of commuting but i had to come to NYC to train my replacement today so my symptom of the day is being elated that this is REALLy my last commute. I'm hoping to avoid any kind of send off. I really just want to fly under the radar and get home but I'm suspicious of a meeting added to my calendar from 5-6pm. This whole third trimester i've been leaving at 5:30 at the latest cause i just wanna go home. So if it is a party, thanks but no thanks (all the people i'm friends with in the office work in different depts so it would be a little weird with just my team) and if it's really a meeting, WTF?! I'm so anti-end of day meetings.
Can barely sleep on my side bc i cant flip over !!! No muscle what so ever!! Gr so i slept propped up on my back last night not comfy !! And maybe TMI but developed this bump on the outside of virginia that really hurts .. Thinking from shaving thr other day or ingrown hair? Internet says just from moisture? Anyone else experience this at all? Doc saw it and just said keep an eye on it so not too worried but still annoying...
36 weeks. I've been crampy almost nonstop for 3 days now. I'm sure it's from not drinking enough at work though but it started with him dropping. Lots of poking my cervix too which is so painful. Lots of hip pain too at night sleeping.

paige0704 I was debating posting about this or not... but i just discovered a bump the other day while taking a shower. I thought maybe a pimple? A boil? a cyst? Idk, but it hurts to the touch. I did a warm compress last night, and have just been good about keeping the area clean. I did some googling, and also suspect it's due to the increase in discharge. I have my weekly appt tomorrow and will be having my dr. check it out. Such an unfortunate symptom so late in the game! But also thankful that this is not something that I am experiencing alone!
Lots of cramping and contractions. They only got worse after my cervix check this morning. I want this baby to come but she needs to either start on her merry way right now or wait til after 5 tomorrow. DH has an important job interview an hour and a half away that they don't seem too keen on rescheduling past Monday unless I need a csection and need him home...uggghh.
Also, I can't sleep either. Little one likes to position a foot right in the middle of the side I sleep on so that there's a lump. If I move, she flips to the other side.
Well just got back from the Doc. Pretty sure she stripped my membranes without telling me lol was the most painful cervix check Ive gotten and have been bleeding and having a grossly amount of discharge since. Which she told me to expect. She thinks Im in the early stages of labor and that we should be having a baby to hold in the next day or so. So Im thinking she stripped the membranes to speed things up. Been in straight pain since she did it.
Only 1.5cm dilated but 75% effaced. She said that LO is pushing down extremely hard trying to come out. My blood pressure was also high which is not normal. Usually its super low. She said that was probably due to the contractions being painful. She also said that if Im still pregnant next week they will be doing a NST but she finds it super unlikely that I will be.
Im finding it hard to believe that she will be here this weekend. but we shall see. I think it still hasnt hit me that we really are having a baby lol and that she really is going to come out at some point.

Im glad im not alone either! Wheew! Good luck let me know if ur doc sheds any light !!
I'm just so uncomfortable that I'm being a bitch. No sleep last night and DH brings home one of our friends dogs to play with our dog. WTH?! Why?! Now I need to rescrub the kitchen floor. To sum it all up, I'm a cranky bitch today.

Feeling generally tired and crummy today - I slept poorly, I woke up early, forced myself to take a shower because I had a drs appt and just showering wiped me out. Post drs appt I'm feeling pressure in my Virginia and the usual stretching / widening sensation down there. At least I now can officially recognize BH (thank you, full moon) and I've been feeling those today too, which is a little different as I normally don't notice them until later afternoon and evening. Still feel like my legs were plugged into my hips wrong.
My symptoms today include my range of emotions swinging between "Hulk Smash!!" And giggling at the fat Cheetos cat picture that keeps floating around here.
Also, I'm pretty sure my baby grabbed my ovaries and gave them what can only be described as a "purple nurple". Ouch.

Me, too! Me, too! Super rando but I vomited, like legit ugly-faced, straining neck muscles and bulging eyes vomited this a.m. before I even had a proper breakfast in me. I took a couple swigs of flavored carbonated water and it all came up plus some yummy yellow bile. Beyond that, I got heartburn for like the first time this trimester last night, but I blame the McDonalds I had about 30 mins before bed (totally worth it though). Nothing a couple tabs of Tums didn't fix. Also, LO has been moving like crazy! I thought he would start slowing down by now...NOT. BHs have been in full effect just about every evening and the on and off backaches are becoming bearable. Less than 3 weeks til I'm due!
40 weeks and one day today - being pregnant after due date is worse than I thought, the stress and struggle is real. Had MW app today to hear not only is baby still only 4/5ths engaged but also back to back! I know there's a big chance baby will turn before or during labour but now I'm anxious at the prospect of a possible long, slow painful back labour... Oh and TMI but I have thrush too so it's a 6 day course of pessaries and cream for me. Overall the usual symptoms of feeling super fat and jealous.
Anybody else breaking out on their chin or around mouth? Plus I've been feeing dehydrated lately but I'm not?
I'm breaking out a little on the side of my mouth, but I'm prone to eczema and had it all during the first tri and a little into the 2nd. Also, I'm a mouth breather when I sleep, so I drool sometimes. Makes the chances of an eczema spot there much more likely.
I wish I had video of me at Target today. I was walking around and started to get some serious lightening sharp pains in my vag! I held my junk and bent over. I had to do this like 7 times. When I got to my car and sat down they were gone. Holy guacamole that was not fun.
Other than that I've been up since 5:30 but I've also been eating since then so it's a draw.

Me too, I have it on my arms! I have to use a prescribed cream in my arms , I only get it in the summer. Which doesn't help since I'm allergic to the sun !

Yes, me too! Mine is a painful, hard bump, a little in from my underwear line. Not sure what it is, but it can go away today!
I'm still getting dizzy if I'm up for more then 5 mins, other then that, I'm getting the normal BH,some crampy, some just tightnings, I slept a lot last night, then again all day today when i got my kids to school, was awesome

Me too!!! I think it's from my shaving attempt. Just in time to be induced woohoo.
Didn't sleep well last night, woke up about 12:45 feeling lots of pressure and like I needed to use the bathroom, only to go the tiniest bit. I felt kind of gassy, but there was lots of pressure. Finally fell back asleep after listening to DH snore uncontrollably. When I got up and got ready for work this morning, I was still feeling pressure, but I finished getting ready and left. I called my mom to tell her happy birthday and was explaining how I felt. She started timing me and it was contractions every 5 minutes lasting a minute or so. I got to work, went in, drank a bunch of water and called my doctor's office. They told me to go to L&D. My mom was afraid for me to drive alone and came with my niece to come get me. The contractions had moved to my back by then and were very uncomfortable. We got to the hospital and they hooked me up to the monitors and did a cervical check. No dilation. They took the monitors off and let me walk around or lay down for an hour and checked me again. By then the contractions had stopped and still no dilation so they let me go. I'm 36+5 today and I know he needs to cook a little longer, but it was hard not to feel a little excited. DH took me to lunch at O'Charleys for unlimited soup and rolls and brought me home to nap. I got a decent nap in, but I'm still exhausted. Regular appointment tomorrow morning with the doctor I saw at the hospital today and having by GSB swab. Good luck to all you ladies who might be welcoming your little ones soon and hope everyone else is feeling better. Just keep telling myself we're in the homestretch now and if contractions aren't a whole lot worse than what I experienced today, I'm confident in my decision for a natural birth! However, they did tell me I will probably keep having them till he's here which will be super annoying, but oh well!
TMI warning: Ridiculous exploding liquid diarrhea just came out of no where and had me feeling feverish and dizzy... No idea if it is food related or pregnancy related but I told FI we will know soon enough if he gets it too.
This could just be my pay back for being symptom-free until week 39. Cruel cruel fate.
@rodriyessi94 I've had a chin rash the whole time I've been pregnant. Sort of dermatitis looking .... I've used regular cortisone cream on it. It'll go away for awhile and then come back.
@KarasTwin sorry due date buddy!!!! that sucks to be timing and then they disappeared! I would have been excited too! At least you got a good lunch out of the deal?!
Just called the hospital. Contractions 7 minutes apart, lasting a minute for the past couple hours. I didn't really like the doctor on call though so I hope they stop soon.
I feel as if I can not do this anymore. I'm at the end of my rope. My family is so far away..... My DH is just not getting that I need support. I've probably never felt this low in my life..... And that's saying a lot considering I have depression.
@klkonwi hang in there lady you can do it you are so close and stronger than you think you are! Focus on the goal! You'll soon have a little human that will never let you down or make you feel alone!
Re: June 4, daily symptoms
But they aren't getting more intense or frequent. What a mean game my uterus is playing...

I'm so anti-end of day meetings.
Another new symptom: Brattiness lol
I'm joining the painful turning in bed club, I cannot do it. Pair that with the painful burning hips and heartburn...sleep is elusive
Also, I can't sleep either. Little one likes to position a foot right in the middle of the side I sleep on so that there's a lump. If I move, she flips to the other side.
Im glad im not alone either! Wheew! Good luck let me know if ur doc sheds any light !!
To sum it all up, I'm a cranky bitch today.
That's pretty much an all time low.
Also, I'm pretty sure my baby grabbed my ovaries and gave them what can only be described as a "purple nurple". Ouch.
