@itsshayday Welcome! Glad you are finally posting! I actually recommend sleeping with that hammer by the bedside.... Just in case your DH acts up. Regulate
My symptom is once again.... Drumroll ..... Pregsomnia.
I have a tender bump as well like I've been working out but haven't. I have a dull headache that I need to nip in the bud before it becomes worse.
Thank you for all the kind words about my GPA. Just really want him to meet this baby! The sexy time did not work....... I am not in labor. It's supposed to 'soften' the cervix though! So there's that........
I am being my friends labor coach today...... Nothing sounds more exhausting but I am a loyal friend so here goes!
Sore as can be! I'm so glad to be leaving for my induction in a few minutes. I can barely walk and feel about as sick as I did when I had morning sickness.
My symptom at the moment is trying to determine if my water broke. With baby #1, there was an unmistakable gush and the bed was soaked. This time, I woke up suddenly but I'd say it's a trickle and up the air at the moment. I don't want to get my hopes up but at the same time, I am ready for baby day!!
Same boat @littlemsmagic138 I just woke up with what felt like a period cramp, then there was a small gush, tmi but tinged pink because I definitely lost my mucous plug, anxiously awaiting a contraction. LO is 6 days late so please let this be labor!

My symptom today is being sooo far behind on the board and missing my ladies here! @klkonwi I think I missed a post about your... Grandfather? Thoughts with you and your family, hope everything is ok. You may remember I named my LO after my beloved grandfather. I have a soft spot for that relationship so will be thinking of you xo
Ok, it's definitely labor. Water broke, I get some small gushes with some contractions depending on what position I'm in. So today's symptom is LABOR! Yay! Can't wait to meet little one!
I can tell ya, the Alice meme above represents the first thought I had this morning, when I woke up YET AGAIN at 5am for no reason. My kid better have some kind of 5am routine I'm being prepped for, otherwise I'm gonna be pissed. My hips hurt from laying down. Other than that the day is still young, meaning I have all kinds of back aches and Virginia pain and generally feeling stabby to look forward to, still. Hooray.
Still pregnant is a symptom right? I had a lot of sharp pains and contractions before bed last night, nothing consistent, and a few woke me up last night. But my poor 3 year old is on day 3 of a fever, however it's much lower this morning thankfully, after her trip to the doctor yesterday morning we found out she has a bad UTI Wednesday is my c section so I'm trying to make it through...
Heartburn...first I've had to deal with it this pregnancy. I'm also swollen down below (I'd like to think the head is down there making it feel swollen), super crampy, and stabby. Today is my due date...bring it on baby!

I'm really swollen down below too with a lot of pressure and I thought the same thing, when my doctor checked me the other day, nope, her head is hardly pushing near my cervix at all.
How is it the 12th?! Geeze. It's like time is slow but still the days are zooming by. I'm trying to get as much downtime as possible before LO comes. Been trespassing and going to my friend's apartment pool. It feels fantastic to get all this pressure off my hips, back, and pelvis. And even the BH don't feel like much while in the water. At my last appt, the midwife reiterated a million times to call if there was "decreased fetal movement" so now I have something for my anxiety to focus on.
Didn't sleep well at all last night. Cramping on my right side and heartburn. Got to work this morning and when I peed there were 3 decent sized blood clots in the toilet (tmi). I had a little spotting yesterday after my check, but usually when I have that it's dark blood and not clotty. This was 3 big clots about 1/2 an inch long each. Not sure what to think.
I think my body knows when I have to work. It's a short four hour shift and I'm dreading it bc I didn't sleep at all! Hips hurt, collar bone hurts (I assume from all the side sleeping). And I have that pukey feeling from falling asleep and waking back up a dozen times. This is gonna be great. Customers better play nice today!! The bright side is that I've been thinking its Saturday all along (super busy grocery day) and it's actually Friday! Score!!
I called them and they said to keep an eye on it and if I felt like I was leaking water or having consistent contractions to call back. I just hate working so far from home/the hospital.
Worst symptom this am is the joint paint from swollen fingers. I can't really flex them without pain, and i certainly can't pinch. Finger tap typing is all I can do.
There's some cat puke in the nursery that needs cleaning, and I can't grip my cup to drink or squeeze my toothbrush.
Staying in bed until I decide what to do with my useless appendages lol.
I feel like a beached whale in bed. Never had an urge to install one of those triangle bar thingies (you know the ones that help you reposition yourself in the hospital) in all my life.
Besides feeling huge I've got some pretty impressive swelling in my hands with added joint pain making it hard to grasp my coffee cup. Also feeling tired and a bit stabby already so I'm sure I'll be posting on Angry Pregnant Ladies today if I choose to venture out today.

I decided to count how many times I got up to pee last night - six. It was six times. The last 2-3 times, I didn't even go back to sleep. {le sigh} Still pregnant & achey in the hips. Countdown to induction Sunday night is on!
Still pregnant, that's good. Slept like crap, that's normal. DH is sick and was sleep walking. The dog has ben sneezing ever since we turned the AC on, keeping me awake as well. DS woke up at 2am and didn't want to go back to bed, but after 45min and a new Glo Worm, he did stay in bed until 6. I just want a good night's sleep.

Keep us posted! A lil scary but probably normal!
I will! Hope your hands/fingers feel better! That has to suck!
Still pregnant despite a trip to Target last night. The only thing i got out of that (besides 6 different kinds of candy... i blame DH) is the most swelling in my hands i have ever seen. It went down as soon as I got back home and relaxed so that's good
My only other symptom is cankles! I feel like I'm back in my first trimester again, freaking out about a lack of symptoms. I know it sounds very humble-braggy but i'm seriously jealous of everyone with contractions and lightning crotch! I feel like labor cant be anywhere on the horizon as I'm still "plugged" up, no contractions (just mild occasional BH), and everything else is relatively quiet. So i fear I'll be living in a state of fatness for the foreseeable future. I know baby will come whenever she's ready but seeing how giant my face has gotten has me praying for labor at this point.

My hands were driving me crazy the past few weeks too but things got much better after I started sleeping with wrist braces on (sexy, I know). I call them my flippers, but they have made a world of a difference. Also, if your doctor writes a prescription, you can likely get the cost covered.
Back from dr. Appt. 40+1 STILL ONLY DILATED 1 cm. what the everloving f@*k. Not cool uterus, not cool. On the plus side.. Had a diff. Midwife and i had NO PAIN during the check. I would have denied the check but i figured id give it another try with a new midwife. I wanted to give her a freakin medal for how the exam went, compared to last time with that other "horror of a woman". Also my cervix is still hard. Basically no progression. Not amused because we even toughed it out and had sex twice to try to get things moving along.. It was unsuccessful i guess... Oh well. I dont really understand what all my INTENSE cramping & back pain is about .. If im not even dilating.. Unfair.
After thinking perhaps I'd sprung a leak this morning, I visited my midwife. My water did not break but I am dilated 5 cm with bulging water and I'm contracting fairly regularly. Not regularly enough to keep me at the hospital but I was sent home to "walk the baby out". They think they'll see me back later today or over the weekend to have a baby! Now to decide if I want to walk the baby out at the mall or Target. Seems like people have good luck with Target so I think I'll be headed there after lunch.
More random-ass contractions today. I'm not a happy lady. Thinking I should have started with the RRL and the sexy time forever ago. Heartburn, nauseous, headache, swollen, back pain, and BH.
So I went to L&D yesterday after my body decided to shut down from the heat and everything is normal. They kept saying my baby was very happy. Love to hear that
My symptom today is just a very high desire to get this baby out in the next couple of days. DH and I participated in some morning sexy time and I'm just waiting to get a spike of evergy to go to the gym and walk until I crawl or baby comes out - which ever comes first.
No signs of labor yet or ever but hoping I'm just one of those people who just goes into labor spontaneously.
Still can't sleep, but nothing new about that. Is it mean that all throughout the night I keep checking the time to see if it's almost time for my SO to go to work so I can have the bed to myself? Lol X_X
Heartburn, that's a given But, I just keep telling myself that I can make it until Monday (my induction date). Baby get out of meeeeee!!!
I need to add period-like cramps. So annoying. I really could use a nap, foot rub, and a stiff drink. Unfortunately, I don't think any of those are in the cards.

Symptoms: two full days of BH, lightening crotch & apparently facial hair growth. Good times.
