39 weeks tomorrow! I wish I would go into labor today. Ha! Ya fat chance! This little boy is not going anywhere. He is already a mamas boy! But anyone else having a planned c-section and super nervous. I am! I was talking to my dr. And all this waiting and thinking has made it worse. I try to keep happy thoughts, but I have come up with so many scenarios of things that could go wrong. I'd almost rather have an emergency c section. Less to worry about.
10 days to go till my planned C section. And the "pep" talk with my doctor didn't help either. She tried to make it seem boring. ''Oh... We will listen to some music... We will talk about our weekend... Baby will be out... It's totally wham, bam, thank you, mam!" I wanted to yell --"I don't want to listen to whatever shitty music you have playing and I don't give a Fuck about your weekend!!" But I knew it was the hormones talking so I kept it all in. But seriously... Shouldn't I get to pick the music?
@lovermyboys as you probably already know- all boys are mamas boys! :x
@corndogrobot ya mine tried with the pep talk...oh this will be so much easier, you will feel great afterwards, smaller incision. I wanted to tell him to "shut the hell up!" This is major surgery I just get the best gift of a lifetime afterwards so he didn't make me feel better, thinking of my LO is the only thing that I try to think of.
^sorry i forgot to add, with the music. Just ask...they asked my DH with DS1 and he was born to Free Bird! I was so out of it I couldn't pick, but they let DH.
Serious pressure neat my butt, plus constipation. Just uncomfortable. Glad the wknd is here. Pedicure today! Breakfast with my teenager. Weekly appt Monday where I'm most confident they will just take my fundal height and listen to Liv's heartbeat.
I'll be 39 weeks Sunday, and I my contractions come and go. Wish they would come and stay. I wasn't this impatient until this week! Now I just want her here! Then again, I start thinking of how I'll never be just ME again. Like from now own, I'll have this little one attached to me at all times! I think about the night feedings and changes and the lack of freedom to come and go as I please! When I think of all of that, it make me treasure these last few days I'll have to myself! But then I think about seeing and holding and loving on my daughter and I get impatient all over again! LOL Yall, I'm so ready! Guess I'll go take a walk to hopefully speed things along!
Went to the dr. For regular appt. They are sending me to labor and delivery because my legs are swollen but BP is good. I have a constant cramp in my left leg they "want to do a doplar to make sure it's not a clot" and they measured the baby and despite 2 appointments a week for the last 3 weeks with an scan at each appt, all of a sudden she's "measuring 3 weeks behind" Huh? That's all the info I got. Then the sweet nurse hugged me and said "give me a hug, mama. It's gonna be a long day for you today" What the fucking fuck!?!?
38 weeks today and a pumpkin scared the crap out of me! Thought of Ricky Bobby. Hope yall can get a laugh like I did! Lol @corndogrobot I can't believe that nurse said that. I would've flipped biscuits. Keep us updated!!
sitting at an immediate care center waiting to see a doctor because I have an ear infection. Just want to be home, as I'm officially on my second day of maternity leave....way to start my leave!!! :-(
Today is my last day at work until November!!! Whoo-hoo I am so happy to finally have some time off. I am probably the only one wishing my babe would stay cooking till 40 weeks. I am 36.2 now and I really am looking forward to having some time to myself before he arrives.

This is exactly how I'm feeling right now! Well said :-)
@mommy1922 my husband and I are going on a trip this weekend for a wedding and it's weird to think it's the last time we will travel just the two of us :-)
I had Braxton hicks contractions (I assume) from 5ish until 10ish last night. I was feeling really weird, like everything needed to be finished and my back and pelvis were aching, plus I was so tired and just felt off. I also had not had any cravings this pregnancy and desperately wanted a burger for the first time last night. Then this morning, nothing. Bummer. My hubby and I don't have any plans for the weekend, except in my mind I'll be having a baby, but that's just wishful thinking....

@handree nope, you're not the only one... I'm hoping my LO stays in until 40 weeks too. Granted, I'm 35+3 today.... So that may change as I get closer. DH is ready to meet him though!

@mommy1922 any chance you're a Libra? I ask because I am and am indecisive a lot of the time because I like to keep things balanced. I'm always thinking the same - can't wait to meet LO but then can wait for all the change to come. Lol... Then again, our bodies are raging with hormones! Anyways, good luck kick starting it and hopefully your contractions remain consistent and we'll see your birth announcement soon!
My LO is trying to drop lower into my pelvis, I think. Every time I curled up on my side to place a pillow between my legs, I felt a little resistance, discomfort, and my LO moving until I straightened my legs out. :-?
Just back from my 36 week check, 1cm dilated and my cervix is "fully forward and soft" (whatever that means) and I'm starting to efface. Doc said the yellow discharge I've been all worried about is nothing. She said in pregnancy, they see all colors and kinds of discharge and since she swabbed me last time and all was negative, she said it's nothing to worry about. Whew! She is starting me on a half pill twice a day for my GD because me numbers are starting to creep up. I was hoping to keep it in check like I did with my DD but if this is best, so be it. Looking forward to my ultrasound next week!
I have 5 days left til my EDD, I hope he is on time cause I had the most uncomfortable night last night. Sleep was awful, I was way too hot, I peed even more than usual and my back and pelvis hated the frequent trips.
I put my dogs out this morning and went back to bed for about an hour. When I went to let them In they were gone. I have no idea how they got out of our yard and we live in the mountains/woods so they could be anywhere. It's hot as hell already and I have zero energy to haul my ass thru the woods right now. I'm so mad at them and it's giving me anxiety not knowing where they are.
I was in a lot of pain last night with cramping and constant backache and some contractions. It was making me nervous! This morning I have a dull ache in my lower abdomen. We are going to the MIL ranch today with a bunch of friends. Everyone is going to be partying jet skiing and having a blast and im going to be sitting there 37 weeks preggo sweating my butt off. I figure it's the last time I get to go anywhere for a while tho so it'll be worth it. It's 3 hours away from home and im praying that I don't go into labor this weekend!

I know!! So bittersweet... Enjoy every moment! But just know the best is yet to come!
Working on getting things together around the house for baby girl. Full on nesting mode. Having some contractions, ready for our lil peanut to be here already!
I am loving the birth announcements that people post. Yet, with every post I get more envious because they get to spend some time with their bundle of joy and I still have to wait I want my baby in my arms and not in my ribs too!!!!!!
Tonight I have a girls night out with some friends. I have a friend who is due a day after me so we are having a last "hoorah" before we have the babies. Girls night out is at Red Robin and I am very excited for a Prime Chophouse burger!!!!
10 days to go till my planned C section. And the "pep" talk with my doctor didn't help either. She tried to make it seem boring. ''Oh... We will listen to some music... We will talk about our weekend... Baby will be out... It's totally wham, bam, thank you, mam!"

@lovermyboys as you probably already know- all boys are mamas boys! :x
Did you have a csection with your first? Throat punch that bitch just to remind her who's boss. Out of curiously, what song would you choose?
Found out at my appointment today baby is still breech. I'm so bummed. I begged one more week to make a decision. We have until Thursday to decide what to do.
Only a few more mins. before the weekend begins!! Woo Hoo!! I currently feel like I have lots of energy to leave work and go home and do things that are my to do list!! (We'll see what actually happens in about 30 mins)
Have a great weekend everyone. Good luck to those who go into labor!
@Ckorines I told DH he has to sing that song to me while I'm in labor lol!
Today I discovered the show Guilty Pleasures on Food Network. I want to eat everything!!!!!!
Got my last paycheck from my job, and they overpaid me. The paycheck before this one they paid me for one day instead of 5, this check they paid me for the missed days but the wrong amount each day. Ugh. Why can't people just be good at their jobs????
I've been taken off work and haven't been anywhere fun for a couple weeks. Tonight I'm going to my "it's not a baby shower" and I'm so excited! There's gonna be CAAKKKE!
And I know it's been said before but I just love @mommy1922 s positivity! She's just a great example of a happy, caring individual!
Went to the doctor yesterday and doc said my blood pressure was high so they want to see me back Monday morning but to call if I have any preclampsia signs...great 38 weeks and now I have issues. First it is GBS positive and now high bp to be worried about ugghh! Ohh and this baby girl is stubborn already..everytime I get scared that she isn't moving enough and think about calling doc...she starts to have a dance party! I think she can read my mind and is like Mommm I am here...haha. 14 more days until due date and doc says she will probably be late bc she is still pretty high and cervix is still closed but 50% effaced! I just wanna hold my baby girl...I am even excited for the screaming and late nights...maybe I am crazy lol
Update: 6 hours being in the hospital to find no blood clot just a consistent (and still on going) Charlie horse. Baby is good and measuring fine. That dr (who I've never seen in the practice) either can't measure it is an idiot and doesn't know the difference between measuring 34 weeks or being 37+4 weeks and the baby being dropped into the pelvis. Also, during all the testing and going to three departments in the hospital my kid's school called and said he has a fever. Come get him. Uh, ok. I can't I'm hooked up to monitors. Be there soon!!
As for the song @Ckorines : clearly, 'Cuts like a knife' by Bryan Adams is too obvious of a choice for a c section play list.
Perhaps my top picks would be: Paper Thin by Hot Water Music 12:59 Lullaby by: Bedouin Soundclash Or anything by Alkaline Trio. They are my favorite.
@corndogrobot the fever is my nightmare. I have anxiety about this. My heart aches for you. Do you have family in the area who can help you with the baby?
Glad to hear it's just a Charlie horse, although the discomfort from them makes me so angry I could kick a puppy. (Not really, I love dogs. But shit. They hurt like hell.) seriously. Charlie horses are the worst.
Excellent music choice. Any of those songs will do.
No family. I have some friends that can come and get him but his school is literally ACROSS THE STREET from the hospital. It was stupid of me to think they could do the test and I could be out in about 20 min.... Not an hour and a half later.
The highlight of my day was when I was standing outside the hospital talking to the school in the phone and a lady walked by and asked "are you pregnant?" Duh. Yes. I was thinking-- where the hell is this going to go? And she said "Damn girl, you carry it well. You look beautiful!" I interrupted the daycare directed to tell the lady thank you and that she made my day. I wanted to kiss her.

Awww! You're making me blush! I really can't help it. This little princess has me on cloud nine! Thanks so much! And have fun tonight and have TWO slices of cake for me!
