I'm 38 weeks pregnant I'm Due on August 28th it's so hot here In Los Angeles I can't wait for my baby Aaron to hurry up and get here already I'm so anxious I've been trying everything for him to come already!
I already miss being preggo! I love my little man more than anything else but I would kill to go back in time to being preggo with him again. Enjoy it ladies time goes by too quickly!
The 15th was my official due date. The 14th was my last day of work. I walk every day. I got sick this week and never got better, still cough and runny nose, sore throat. No fever but i feel terrible. I also burned my arm withhold oil on Wednesday. It's 5:30 am and I woke up for no reason after only 5 hours of sleep, then hungry, then researching how I might be hurting my baby by being sick now or I might be hurting her if I keep her in this apartment that I'm now realizing is super dusty and never ever clean. Is this a thing? Do some women physically deteriorate in the end? My body is not helping me persevere here at all. Baby's still high, only 1cm and 50% at 39 week exam so I don't think this is ending soon. I feel helpless.
My due date was yesterday. I have a sonogram Monday (Sun) to check fluid levels. Was 1 cm and cervix still long at 39+4. Still working until baby comes (I'm a speech pathologist at a rehab facility so my job is pretty low intensity physically). I just feel like a kid before Christmas break (except a kid that's been told, "Actually Christmas isn't the 25th that was just a guess....it could be in like, 10 days no one knows.") Aaahhh
My due date is Tuesday (8/18). I'm 100% expecting to go past my due date but I would LOVE for labor to start today at some point. I am going to the outlets today and walking around a lot but she'll come when she's ready I guess!!
Good luck everyone!! Can't wait to hear your birth announcements and see pictures of those beautiful babies!
Thanks for this. I'm 40+5 and just waiting. I was so optimistic a few weeks ago that I'd go a little early but alas...
However, I had some serious pelvic discomfort last night and I lost my mucous plug this morning, so I'm hopeful that its a sign she'll be moving out soon.
39+3 here... This is such a different experience to my last pregnancy when I was induced at 37 weeks - it was a shock but I missed out on this phase of endless waiting and wondering when something will happen.
I really thought I would go early but all I've got so far is some mild cramping and discomfort at night time, no real signs of labour coming on. I'm not in a rush for the baby to arrive, but I am driving myself a little more crazy every minute with the anticipation, and getting more nervous with each day...

---- I am a sentimental sap. I hate the idea of him growing up and time moving so fast. The anticipation of waiting was so exciting. Every day thinking it could be the day was the best. I felt crappy and could hardly move but it was the best. Having him here now is amazing but it chokes me up thinking that in the blink of an eye he will be up and running around.
I am 38+1, an still feeling pretty good! Everyone keeps asking my husband or parents...not me...how I'm holding up in the heat (it got up to 117* the other day), but I just don't really go outside...only from a car with a/c to a building with a/c. LOL.
I am actually surprised by how good I feel (please don't hate me!). I think part of it is I am scheduled for a csection on 8/24 so even though I know our little guy could still come any time, I'm not constantly dwelling on it. Plus, I have a TON of stuff to do before my last day at work on Friday, so I'm too focused on that right now to worry about anything else
OMG I needed this encouragement. 39w5d here & I am miserable ! Thank you !!
Me too! Appointment tomorrow morning. Can't wait. Last week my doc didn't really seem to think I'd make it to this appointment. I'm pretty sure I lost my mucus plug on Tuesday and had 10 hours of contractions. Since then, nothing. Just lots of walking, Mexican food, pizza, yoga, etc. starting to think she may not come out until September.

I'm guessing you're an AZ lady too since no where else is 117 I feel the same as you, pretty good at 39+2. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing for having baby on time though
Props to everyone! I agree, seems like there aren't many of us pregnant girls left. I'm 2 days away from my due date. But was 2.5 cm and 70% effaced at 37 weeks, 3cm and 90% at 38 weeks, lost mucous plug at 38 +2, 3cm and 100% at 39 weeks. So I've gotten my hopes up so much the last few weeks and it feels like he's never coming. I just hope to avoid induction, but doesn't look real promising as the OB won't let me go past 41 weeks.
Other than that I am with you ladies on the 50% awesome and 50% ready to be done! But there is an end in sight and we'll all be holding our precious LOs soon!
I too am an Arizona girl, while I'm not in the valley in that crazy 117 heat, it's 103 out right now, high humidity and all I have is a freaking swamp cooler...I'm scheduled for a csec on the 26th (4 days past my due date) but here's hoping I'll work myself into an day labor because I am miserable

@archetypeblonde , for me I think it's because I was induced and baby didn't come on her own terms. I also had a traumatic delivery, which left me with a touch of baby blues. Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely in love with my baby and love having her, but I could have used a week or 2 more of "normalcy"
39W2D.... no Braxton Hicks (that I can feel), just cramps and that "lightening" feeling occasionally. Stuck at 1 cm and 30% effaced. I feel like my son has set-up shop and does not intend to go anywhere. I feel so big and miserable. I'm anxious for him to get here so I can start healing downstairs and living life normally again with my beautiful boy!
The doctor told us two weeks ago that she smthought he could come in 2 weeks....so waking up every morning with high hopes that "TODAY IS THE DAY" and then it not happening was getting me so down. Not to mention the pressure I felt to have the baby with everyone asking me everyday if I was still preggo.... So I've decided that I'm going to have him on his EDD Aug 30 that way I can get throughthe days! This south Texas heat is enough to deal with let alone disappointment everyday he hasn't come out!
Now it's one week and a wake up til scheduled csection. Baby's head is way down there but cervix was only softening not opening. I don't think I'll get my vbac. Need to start being okay with the idea that I'll have a csection. And off to walking all this week
My doc says she'd put $$$ on me going at least 41 weeks with no progress as i was 10 days late with my other son. Sometimes i wish she would just lie to me, u know like the weathermen do...
Any other still-pregnant ladies feeling like a huge hormone shift is taking place? At 39w3d I can honestly say that I have felt like a complete psycho lately. My mood swings were pretty low-key and easy to control for most of my pregnancy, but these past few days have been hell! Crying at the drop of a hat, irrational anger, the works. I just feel awful! ~X(

I'm sorry to hear that! I can understand wanting to go back in time for a little while.

Hey y'all! It's been 106 degrees here in Texas! Talk about hot and uncomfortable! I am 39 wks and counting down the days!!! I was 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced at 38 +2 so I am hoping some progress has been made! Also this is baby #2 so maybe things will go faster! Say a lil prayer for us down here in this Texas heat! [-O<
I am 38.4, scheduled c section for Friday. Is it wrong that I'm hoping my water will break before then so I have some spontaneity to labor? I love nothing more than planning but it feels like a weird way to have a baby.
On the other hand, I have a list of things to do right up until the day, including a day at the pool Thursday Considering I sweat all day long no matter what, I think I deserve a pool day.
Hang in there ladies! We can't be pregnant forever.
I too am feeling a bit twitchy with my attitude. I've been pretty level headed and calm most of my pregnancy- even pretty darn fiesty. Poor SO, I can't even think about frisky times now and have an even shorter fuse! I just want to float in the pool looking on pinterest at all the clothes that will fit soon. haha.
I have 13 days to go. 2 days ago I started to feel the butt bone pains bad and aches but went away after a day of resting. This has been a wonderful pregnancy for me and I'm a FTM (: at times I feel she will be here on time others I think she will go past due. I walk a lot but I guess its all up to her. at 37 weeks I got checked she still hasn't dropped and no dilation so for us moms still pregnant its our waiting game.
Well I am 38 weeks 3 days and man I am ready for this child to come. I am 5 centimeters and 100 effaced for the pass.2 weeks. Walking feels like she will fall out but nothing yet. And I have tried everything.
