I don't know how your practice works. You will need a doctor on board to induce you. @Mandisclark Being firm with this physician and stating your position may get you further than you think.
41+3... I see the doctor today, if I'm still not dilated, I'm just going to fall apart... so tired of trying absolutely everything to jumpstart labor naturally... and sad, because my DH'S Grandma died last night.
TIRED. Lots of bowel issues lately, too. 39wk appt early tomorrow and DH is convinced we are just going to then have the baby tomorrow! I said, I'd be ok with that, but I'm not sure it's likely... though the lady from church watching DD said she has no plans all day
ETA: @LFCmacho, I'm sorry . Also, hoping for news of progress at your appt!
I went to prenatal yoga and took someone's parking spot. I thought to myself "I have 12 days, they can park somewhere else". Low and behold the woman was also coming to class and she's due tomorrow. Whoops. I'm use to being the one in class who is always the furthest along. Oh well.
I'm having the worst rectal pressure of my life. It comes and goes and almost makes me jump off the couch. I had a BM today so I'm not backed up. Yikes. Never had anything like this in pregnancy but this is something nuts.
There's probably just another baby and I have to push...right? AM I IN LABOR AGAIN?

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
I have another weird symptom that I've had once before but it went away. Every time I walk I can hear liquid on the very top of my belly jiggling around. I went to the bathroom because I though maybe it was because I had to pee....but nope, I can still hear it. It's weird, I'll bring it up to my doctor and see what he says Thursday. More than likely he'll give me a simple explanation that I would've never thought of and feel silly.
Oh how I've missed you ladies. After the 2 viewings for dh's late grandmother yesterday and funeral today, I'm wiped out. My feet are bigger than ever. Wooooof. So all of dh's family was clearly excited to see us one last time (despite the sad circumstance) but we kept making jokes that our baby could come any time after today since we really didn't want my water to break mid funeral service. On the drive back home to jersey today it really began to hit me that "holy shit this baby could come at any time" and "I'm going to feel the worst pain and best joy of my entire life any day now". I began having a panic attack that im not ready And that I don't wanna go into labor but then I come on here and I'm reminded that pregnancy bites and labor is ultimate goal.
Thank god for you ladies
Feeling much better after my Kmart trip. I bought those vacuum seal storage bags and turned my mounds of 0-3, 3-6, and 6-9 month clothes into little airtight baby clothes sausages. There is something therapeutic about these bags...
I'm starting to wonder if that pop I felt earlier was baby dropping. The top of my belly feels softer and movements feel lower and different. Lots of pressure and still having that stinging feeling around my Virginia. DH said he thought breech babies didn't drop, but something has definitely happened
Ok. This is going to be gross but I mentioned I thought my pee or discharge or something smells funny.... And I mentioned it to the nurse this morning.... And asked her to do a UA. I left and realized no one said anything about the UA or my concern ...... Ugh. Now I have to annoyingly call in the morning.... And everytime you call they put a giant note in your prenatal. What's the point of appts when they don't address concerns. Maybe I should of put this in the angry preg ladies thread Or am I just being crazy? Anyone else noticed any different smell ?

Actually kind of weird but I've noticed a LACK of smell. Not that it was super smelly before but the last week or two my discharge is coming in crazy amounts so I was like hm what if it's discharge mixing with a slow leak of amniotic fluid so I smelled it (ew I know) looking for the tell tale sweet semeny smell that apparently amniotic fluid has and it smelled like absolutely nothing. :-??
@KarasTwin breech babies can go low just like any other babies if he is frank. There was one instance where a lady was in hard labor and 7cm before my glove got covered in meconium and we realized it was the butt! Needless to say docs are better now than 4 years ago about doing quick ultrasounds before inducing
@klkonwi, what? I'm officially freaking out now. I guess him dropping isn't a huge deal and I'm being hyper aware of any symptoms/changes. The movements feel different which is really freaking me out, even though they're still at least 10 per hour minimum. Next Monday cannot get here fast enough, I'm going to make myself crazy (crazier than normal)
Don't make yourself crazy. @KarasTwin If you go into labor at all just go into the hospital. They will perform your Cesarean. Our bodies are going crazy right now and our minds. Just do your kick counts and never hesitate to go in if your wondering about his movement.
I feel my baby has done the OPPOSITE of dropping! Why is he up higher? I had contractions last night for 5 hours, feeling like my body was trying to push him down, but no luck. Holy heartburn. Raging rib pain.

I'm at the point where I can't really identify anything cause it all smells funny to me. I drink so much water my pee is dilute so it doesn't smell much like pee except in the morning right when I first get up and its more concentrate. My method of identifying a fluid leak is more to lay down for a while so it would have a chance to 'pool' and see if I get a mini gush when I stand up.
Only thing I can reliably smell that has to with me is pregnancy farts. Those are identifiable.
Looks like I'm getting induced tomorrow. Cervix still not dilated whatsoever and not showing any signs that it will anytime soon. Frustrated but relieved that baby girl will finally be here.
Heard the weird clicking at the top of my belly! I honestly thought yall were crazy. He was moving a lot when it happened, my first thought was his foot hit against my ribs. I was half asleep though so who knows.
I've never been so tired in my entire life! I can't snap out of it. My feet are also in so much pain. I had to leave work early, I hate doing that.
My symptom for today was labor! Contractions started up around 6 am and were about 8-10 minutes apart. But I've had so many false starts I didn't get excited. At 12:00 they were 5 minutes apart. I still didn't want to call. The thought of just being sent home again was more than I could handle.
Long story short, I finally went in. Was a 5 when I got there. Progressed super fast. With in an hour I was a 10. Spent a short time pushing and wouldn't you know it, I had the baby!
I told my midwife when I was at 9 cm that I still had a fear in the back of my head that they were going to just send me home to wait again! She just laughed at me.
Today I'm just getting a ton of back pain - could barely stand upright at the grocery store, but like all my labor symptoms, it went away. Gah this sucks! But otherwise I had energy and felt good, so I shouldn't complain!
41+3... I see the doctor today, if I'm still not dilated, I'm just going to fall apart... so tired of trying absolutely everything to jumpstart labor naturally... and sad, because my DH'S Grandma died last night.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you get some good news soon!
@klkonwi I am more lurker than poster, but for what it's worth I had the weird smelling pee thing too a couple weeks ago. I had them do a UA and everything was fine, and the smell went away too after a few days. My doc was never really sure what it was... So you're not alone! Hope it turns out to be nothing for you too
Re: Daily Symptoms Monday 6/15
You will need a doctor on board to induce you. @Mandisclark
Being firm with this physician and stating your position may get you further than you think.
Lots of bowel issues lately, too.
39wk appt early tomorrow and DH is convinced we are just going to then have the baby tomorrow! I said, I'd be ok with that, but I'm not sure it's likely... though the lady from church watching DD said she has no plans all day
ETA: @LFCmacho, I'm sorry

And now I'm hungry again. The end.
