I was supposed to have 6 days off and today being my last. I work for my dad part time at a 9 hole golf course and most of his help are high school or college kids so at the end of the season I get called to help a lot. I like being outside but I just really wanted a day to do nothing but naturally I can't tell him no. Plus being 8 months prego and sitting on a mower for too long is getting uncomfortable but yet I feel like I have to help, it's been a job for literally just over half my life (15 years). Why do I have to be so nice sometimes?! (
After working 7 days straight and only having off yesterday I'm dreading today. I have an appointment at 11, have to rush back to get my daughter off the bus at 1150, to turn around and go to work for 1. And tomorrow is my day off but I have an ob appointment followed up with an appointment to get my tdap(finally!). I'm already exhausted and dreading this next week. 22 days until I'm done working and it feels like forever!
Maybe got 4 hours of sleep combined last night. Full day of work today. Thankfully I work part time and am only two 10 hr shifts a week. Just really ready to have this baby. I'm so uncomfortable and my husband does not really get it. He tries, but no one knows what it's like unless they have been pregnant as well. My due date is next Friday. Hoping for an early baby this time around.
Woke up with lots of inner thigh achiness and pressure in my pelvic area. I watch a 1 yr old Monday-Friday 6.5 hrs a day plus I have my 4 yr old- I will be 37 weeks on Wednesday, and next week will be my last week to keep her until December, I really want to keep watching her until the time I agreed on but getting up and down off the floor and picking her up is really hurting today- her mom is so sweet and said to let her know when it gets too much, but I feel bad about it
The super moon didn't work the magic I hoped. 3 more days til EDD and baby seems to be in NO rush. Don't get me wrong I'm happy she is cooking still but I'm just super excited. I do swear I wil not try anything to induce labor and let her show up on her own. The anticipation however is killing me!
Moan I had a ridiculous dream last night that made me super angry at myself when I woke up.
I feel like the stay puff marshmallow man today and it's only going to get worse as I sit here at my desk all day.
I felt like a turtle when i took the dog for a walk this morning. The walk we usually go on is about 15 minutes. It took me a little over 20 minutes to waddle my way through the neighborhood! I don't think my dog minded though. More time for him to sniff around.
My fingers look like sausages and my knuckles hurt so band to bend them, my feet look likes chucks of meat and totally gross me out. I am sore and so ready to be done and it feels like I have so far left to go.... This baby better come before Novemeber!

My hubbys friend is staying with us so he can recover from addiction. He left for a few days to party and drink moonshine. Now he called me to pick him up in an hour. He sounded all discombobulated and out of sorts. I have 3 weeks to go and everyday a little more less nice about things. I am in school and still have a lot of running around to do. I dont feel like dealing with someone's bull shit. If youre gonna get clean ya have to stop drinking too otherwise youre substituting one for the other and eating all my preggers snacks!
@andreabiel i feel you! i am due friday and progress has been slow! at least i am 2 cm dilated now, for the past 2 weeks i was only 1 cm. but scheduling my next doctor's appointment for past my due date kind of made the reality that little guy may be late sink in... i mean anything can happen this week but it's just the not knowing that is hard!!
on top of all that my doc won't be available (again) from 10/9-10/11 after she was just away for more than a week, so she wants to schedule an induction for 10/7 when i'll be 40+5. bah, i understand doctors are humans too and need time off but it just bugs me a little that she wants to schedule my baby's birth around her schedule. i am really on the fence about it... have to do a lot of thinking and research and also decide what i want-- she is fine if i decide to move the induction to 10/12. but maybe little one will arrive by then and it will all be a moot point?? argh too much to think about.
My ears have been ringing/humming all weekend. I have gained 6 pounds in about 2 weeks. I am officially in the pee every hour of the night club(i had been about a 2x a night until last week). My co-workers are f**king morons who in the last 15 have proceed to fuck up my whole day w/costly mistakes due to carelessness. Happy Effing Monday Ya'll
I'm not due until the end of the month and I've started feeling some weird pains that I'm confused about. It made me realize that I'm still clueless about labor even though I've been through it once before. I know from experience that when you are in labor you KNOW you are in labor. It's just the weird pains before that make me crazy and feel completely ignorant about what my body is doing.

This is my first, but I feel the same way. Baby girl has been dropping the past few days, I can feel the pressure in my pelvis now and my back and hips are hurting even more! I'm a little worried she might make an early debut (due the 30th) because my husband has to leave for work for a couple days. I have no clue what my body is doing and it kind of freaks me out.
My moan, I am so achey, I do not want to be at work! On top of peeing every 5 minutes, I am so tired and cannot concentrate! Gah.
I made coffee this morning, only to remember we are out of sugar.. Considering I drink just as much sugar as I do coffee, I'm thinking it's not gonna taste good.
I woke up with a sore throat, I think I have caught a cold I took a sick day to try to get plenty of rest and not push myself at the beginning of the this cold, hoping it would help it not get too bad. I don't have miserable symptoms (yet) but I can feel them lurking, ready to get worse. I was just so tired last week (getting up so much more to pee at night and being uncomfortable ) and feeling like it's harder to move my body around all day. I am super overwhelmed at the thought of dealing with my day while feeling extra run down from a cold. I can't take a sick day every day....colds last too long!
DH has family that winters in FL. They are still here in CT but want to leave this week on Wed. Well they are legit asking me when I can have the baby and telling me it would be great for them to see her before they go, otherwise they won't be back until spring..
Welllll first of all, they are driving down and can truly leave any day as they are retired. Second this is their first great grand baby so maybe staying a week will be worth it. Third, even if I have the baby today, I want at least 2 days with just DH and I to bond. Fourth, I obviously want baby to come out now, but I refuse to try anything to get her out before she and my body is ready.
Really? REALLY? I find it extremely selfish. Then I have BIL talking $h!t to the whole family because my DH and I want to spend the first day or 2 with just us and baby at home, without visitors. Personally I don't want BIL to ever meet or hold my LO . I can't stand him. Same with MIL. In my perfect world I would only invite my side of the family over to meet LO along with FIL and his wife, and then let other people visit about a week or so later. My in law family is driving me insane.
DS dropped the rest of the way yesterday afternoon, and now I feel like my hips are dislocating every twenty steps or so. Not to mention the immense pressure he's putting on my cervix and lower back make it too painful to sit upright. I'm only comfortable either laying down or in a recliner, and I have job that requires eight hours a day of standing/walking. I still have quite a ways to go, but I may have to go on maternity leave before the end of the week.
Anyone else going pee every 5 minutes. I swear it's every 5 minutes. Is this normal? I've been out of bed for 4 hours and Im sure I've gone 30 times...
Not only am I 38 weeks pregnant and can't move without pain my 3 year old daughter broke her leg on Friday and daddy went back to work today so Im left maneuvering her around the house and to the potty. Plus on top of that I'm chasing around my 17 month old hyper little boy and my dog decided to have her puppies today!!!!
Hubby is gonna be busy once this baby comes via c section in a week!!! Cesarean on mommy, newborn baby, daughter with broken leg, son who never stops moving, house that needs to be kept up and now puppies.... He's such a good sport haha #:-S

Baby is so low it feels like she is going to fall out any second! I am waddling around, dealing with on and off lightning crotch! I want to go home! I hate being at work in this condition! Two more weeks.. Two more weeks..
I work for a mental health program. During each shift, there is only one of us on site (because someone higher up thinks that is a bright idea). My relief has decided that he would rather go to a flag football game than come in. I have no one else to call to come in. Which means that I will be working until midnight tonight when third shift comes in. Woohoo for 16 hour days in the most uncomfortable office chair ever...
@mamawolf23 this made me lol when I read it. Then my husband said what's so funny and I read your post to him. He responded with "oh boy, if I am feeling overwhelmed when the baby gets here I will think of that guy!" I am glad your hubby is a good sport and we will be thinking of you!!
I was finally comfortable and fell asleep to take a nap. My dog decided he was going to bark at a car driving by our house. He was laying right under me when he started barking.

Aww thanks haha luckily hes wayyy too sweet and wayyyyyyyy too afraid of me to even try and complain
Moan #2- people are starting to debate circumcision again. NOOOOOOOOOO
It was just a poll, not a debate! BTW I like the idea of the poll, interesting to see how many people who stayed out of all these threads (like me!) but are having a boy

Right there with you. DS came early after my water broke. I don't think I even had symptoms (other than swelling) before that! Now I just feel dumb. People keep asking if I'm having contractions and I'm like, uh, maybe?
@mamawolf23, that's craziness at your house. DS2 broke his leg days before DS4 was born. Not cool trying to help them go to the bathroom etc. But with puppies too? Yikes.
I had my 38 week appointment today and although I always try to go into it not expecting to make any progress I was disappointed when I heard I was still only 1cm and 50% effaced. Yes I know labor can happen at any moment and the status of my cervix doesn't mean much, but I still wish I had heard there was a little progress.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY PEOPLE STOP IT WITH THE LABOR SYMPTOMS AW THREADS.
I needed to put it in caps because this is ridiculous. It's why we have a labor thread people! Stop clogging the damn board with your stupid gripes and moans. Put them here or in the labor symptoms thread
