I just verped my coffee...twice. Ewww! Swollen, numb tingly hands, and general discomfort. Fingers crossed LO arrives this weekend. No signs of that yet, but one can always hope. Good luck to all the ladies in labor today!
Oddly sluggish this morning, I tried EPO for the first time last night (I'm 39+3 today) and hopefully that helps soften and efface my cervix a little more, planning on continuing until I go into labor. Wish I could have stayed home in bed but had to come to work this morning. How are all yall ladies feeling?
I think I've had a new surge of hormones because I just feel downright gross, my hair is oily, my skin is shining, I'm sweating, bloated. 39 weeks today. All over uncomfortable.
Feeling really out of it today...like im walking on a cloud its really weird and dont like it very much! Pelvis bones of course feel like they are breaking too!
Question for STM or anyone who has had stretchmarks...did u find anything to lighten them faster? Idc what it is i will try it!
Still pregnant.. This was the original baby day i was hoping for! it's one month till my first anniversary and our puppy is born on 11/18. I figured the 18th would be nice. But there are seriously no labor symptoms to speak of. my fat feet look better after a few very quiet days around the house. I've noticed more braxton hicks (especially while drinking RRL tea... ps anyone postpartum mommas feel this stuff made a difference??)
I'm seriously starting to feel like I'm never gonna have this baby. I just think she's gonna go off to college inside me. I need some sign or indication that she's going to emerge. I can't wait for my first internal exam Monday to find out if my body knows it's supposed to eject a child soon.
Feeling down and lonely today. Feels like the wind has been let out of my sails on my baby project and I'm having a hard time pushing through to the finish.
DH has been out of town for several weeks and don't know yet when he will be back. I keep having horrible nightmares that I can't find him. Obviously subconscious speaking to the fear of him not making it in time if I go into labor. And that's a big IF after yesterday's appointment.
What is a good night's sleep? I forgot! Ended up going out on a McDonald's run at 2 in the morning.
And the more birth announcements I see, while I am SO very happy for all of the new mommas, I'm all like...
@Mommaswizz I'm with you! I'm adjusting to the fact that I might just spend the rest of my life pregnant. Lol
Had a MS yesterday at my 40w apt. Still feeling crampy and mild BH's. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night to some major pelvic pressure. But not feeling confident that he's planning a departure in the near future.
Now I'm Starbucks bound.. sun and java can only lead to good things!
@murlindzz that pic is PERFECTION lol It helps to hear other ladies are in the same boat. Though I feel i should zip it since I'm still only 38 +4 days... I'm bratty for wanting my baby by now. I need one of @Mellymar 's "patience young padawan" pics hahaha
hahahaha Thank you @mellymar I know patience is running thin for all the remaining preggo ladies in J'15. We need some serious relief. I'm just praying this child doesn't make me go to past my due date. I'm afraid my psyche can't handle that kind of mind f*ck when I'm already this uncomfortable
I've bounced, reiki'd, acupunctured, massaged, floated in the pool, walked, sexed, spicy fooded, and at 40+6 I have NO SYMPTOMS!!!!!! Argh! I've decided that all the things that people say helped start labor are just a list of things to distract pregnant women until they go into labor naturally. Or are induced. Which I feel like I'm going to end up being on the 25th.
Yesterday I had contractions alllll day and night and some today. Hoping its at least working towards progressing me further. Due date is tomorrow and I'm just getting bigger by the second! Because I'm hoping to vbac, I think tomorrow's appt will set up an induction for next week. I don't think they'll let me go past 41w and if my cervix is favorable...maybe sooner..? I'm anxious to find out.
It's officially 48 hours after my membrane sweep and I'm still pregnant. So gonna give that one a fail! My contractions stopped after a little while last night. 40+2 today. At the beginning of my pregnancy, I predicted I would go into labor late on June 18 and have DS early morning 6/19. Maybe my mommy instincts will be right. But I'm tired of getting my hopes up. I'm probably gonna be induced, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
Thank you @rachelkaylene! I'm hoping...but I won't get my hopes up!! I've been having them for weeks but just a bit more consistent now, so ya never know I guess! I think I'll have a NST tomorrow at my appt so hopefully I'll still be having them then!
I'm so done. I know I'm only 38 +5, but this kid feels huge and I don't think I'd make it much longer. Starting to feel thankful for scheduled c section. I'm praying that I've dilated some and when I go to my appointment in the morning they'll discover I'm dilated and send me to the hospital rather than risk me going into labor. I really doubt that will happen and I know I can make it till Monday, but I'm done. So done.
This morning I was wigging out. Like, mad stressing because I thought today they were going to decide to induce me tomorrow. But, they are going to wait until next Tuesday (we'll be induction twins @bbnmama2012!). Knowing its not happening *tomorrow* has helped my anxiety quite a bit and I'm a little more relaxed now. I'll probably be just as anxious on Monday, but that's Monday's problem, isn't it? Otherwise, I'm still being headbutted in my Virginia, which hurts a lot, and I'm tired as hell. But I just ate a huge lunch of taco bell, which was yummy, so I'm at least happy in that regard
Headache! I took a Percocet and Ibuprofen (800 mg) and it barely helped... This has lead to DS taking full advantage of my need for quiet all day (tablet has been in full use... Oh well you have to keep your sanity some how).... But the baby has been content with snuggles
Ugh. Had a bad nst today (heart atuff again)... So out of the blue... After sonogram.. Off to be induced. 7 houra later.. Finally get cirvidil, which for some reason hurt like a b!tch... Even Brought on a few tears right now... My symptom is CRAMPY. And m very unhappy about being stuck here. I wanted so badly to go naturally...
Good news is.. I'll have my son soon.. But im super negative right now
Don't have any major pregnancy symptoms, you would think a week past my due date I would have something going for me. Nope, Nada. Just super swollen feet. Since I already made the pilsbury dough coming out of the can reference before, they looked like a huge muffin top coming out of those ladies that wear their jeans 5 sizes too small. I still have a cold, it's not as bad as expected. I think the Tylenol cold, tablespoons of honey, hydrating, drinking tea (and I HATE tea) and the humidifier helped a tinyyyy bit. Crossing my fingers this goes away by Saturday!

Feeling pumped. Excited. Nervous. Freaked out. Tired. We will be induced tomorrow! Feeling a bit star struck, our baby boy will be here soon!! Trying to get some rest!!!!
I thought it was BS but my stitches are itching! What are you supposed to do about a vaginal stitch itch?!?! It's so uncomfortable and it sounds horrible out loud. (

Did they give you the dermoblast spray at the hospital? I didn't really need it for pain this go around but when those stitches started itching . . .spray then crap out of them, it works.
