    Since I've been up since 3:30 a.m., I'll start. I'm 40w1d today and the only discernible change is ... my first stretch marks.  :((

    I'm happy to have some kind of sign that the end is in sight, but I wish it wasn't constant cramping and sporadic contractions that aren't real labor, but yet are enough to keep me up the past two nights from about 1:30 til 5 am (about half an hour before my 3 yr old wakes up).  It's part the pain keeping me up, but mostly an alertness that gets switched on to pay attention in case this is it.

    I'm 38w3d, and my baby is breech. But the problem is his head is putting so much pressure on my ribs, it feels like if I slouch the slightest, my rib is going to snap. It's so painful! Idk what to do to relieve it!!

    Hang in there!! Good to know I'm not alone, though. I'm due saturday and started my maternity leave today - I'm just literally crossing my fingers that something happens this week. I'm driving myself crazy!

    39 +2 days and here I am at work and people are still dropping stuff in my lap like I'm going to be here for the next several weeks. I was officially taken off the schedule last week and told just too come in a couple hours to keep up with some office stuff but a couple hrs keeps turning into me being stuck here 6 hrs a day. Grrrrr seriously considering faking contractions today to go home. :(

    Had contractions all weekend but, nothing. Just enough to make me uncomfortable at church and interfere with sleep. And the reflux, ugh. Had to sleep upright on the couch for several hours last week and I keep propping myself in bed but then my neck hurts, and my back... Also snissed on the seat at church, so gross and embarrassing. The in-laws are leaving today and no one else is coming out until next weekend so that makes me nervous. I just keep telling myself DH and I will figure it out if this LO comes when there's no family here!

    I'm getting so tired of waiting! I've been having contractions for the last month and because of my GD I'm not allowed to go past my due date. I keep waiting for this little man to come and its so much harder with my doctors waiting for the same thing. "Oh it looks like your having a lot of contractions (on my weekly nonstress test) so I'm on call this weekend if they're getting more regular or your water breaks." This was 2 weeks ago. They'll be talking about options to speed the process up at my appt on thursday (39 weeks), if I don't call to try to get in earlier.

    I hear u. I'm barely sleeping either.
    Oh nooooo to the stretch marks. Having gone this far without and now getting them.
    I'm using olive oil on my belly or Vaseline. Third pregnancy , none yet. Forget about all the other stuff. Lol.

    Can we mom's moan too?

    Mine is a hormonal moan. I can't bathe my little guy. He screams bloody murder like someone is torturing him. It's a sponge bath and I have to leave the room as he screams and screws up his face.

    For those of you still awaiting birth, I'm so sorry for the discomfort, sleeplessness, and the wait. I totally love you guys!

    @LATXwoman I feel your pain - I was stretchmark free for 40 weeks. 40w1d I got stretch marks and my son was born 40w3d. Everyday I tell him I'm going to get him for that lol. As for me I'm falling apart: - I have a cold so I can only breathe thru my mouth, even if I'm sitting up - I can't change positions without it taking at least 4 moves and 10 minutes - I cannot maintain a consistent body temperature. Overall I'm hot like an oven but my feet are ice cubes - my teeth are killing me and between that and the cold my face hurts like someone punches it all day - don't even get me started on my back and butt - my house is in shambles and hubby is dragging his feet getting it together yet doesn't want me to lift a finger - my toddler learned my first name so in addition to the mummie chorus has been made that much longer by adding it to the mix I could go on but my thumb is tired lol. But the good in all of this is I get a sweet baby out of this so I'll deal for 3 more weeks :-)

    37w3d and I don't want to work anymore :(


    I can't sleep. I have a hard time falling asleep. When I am asleep, I wake up a lot during the night, and not just to go to the bathroom. The side i'm laying on is numb, so I have to roll over, which I can't do very easily. I have weird dreams to which I wake up to. And once I am awake from one of these reasons, it's hard for me to fall back asleep. I think it's taking a toll on me at work now. I can't concentrate at work, all I can think about is taking a nap on lunch. My due date is 10/23 and I am thinking about staying home a few days leading up to my DD. 
    This. Completely. Though I am a week behind you. I wake up to pee, I wake up cause my hips and back hurt and rolling over hurts too. Then the dreams are weird and non-stop. I'm tired. I've stil got 3.5 weeks too. Work is torture too because I cannot focus to save my life. I am ready for these next few weeks to fly by.

    @Ljonas87 no one at my job wants to acknowledge that I will be gone any day now. I keep getting work and I delegate it to the people who will be taking care of it when I'm gone. I'll do the ground work and email it to the team but don't ask me any questions lol. I'm doing all I can to tie up all of my loose ends but if they don't want to pay attention I can't force them.

    I hate pumping! My baby won't latch so I pump exclusively. Also, he screamed incessantly for three hours last night and I still have no idea why. We tried everything and he finally fell asleep on my husband and has been asleep ever since. One week down.

    Just the post I was looking for! It's amazing how long the end can drag out :-S 10 days left & I'm always so uncomfortable! My little girls feet/legs constantly up against my ribs. My stomach has been so sore and tight all day everyday. I just want her out already. Rant over :x

    Had my final inspection at work before I leave. And of course we get slammed the entire time! Then add my exhaustion from a fun day having friends over yesterday into I'm just tired today. I cleaned a lot this weekend so today I'm getting my hair done and resting early I hope!

    Thought I was getting close with my appt last when my doctor said my placenta looked mature and put me on twice a week non stress tests. But after today's appt baby is looking quite comfortable in there. ;p
    Certainly thankful for a healthy baby but I was honestly looking forward to meeting him sooner than later. Now 3 weeks seems like forever. 
    Also my belly looks like a cracked hard boiled egg. Haha. I suppose I would be more upset about stretch marks but I already have a ton of scars from surgeries...
    I feel for all the mommies still working. I left work a while ago. I'm just trying not to be too anxious twiddling my thumbs in anticipation.
    Good luck ladies!

    37 weeks today, slept probably 3 or 4 hours last night. Had to go to my general practitioner today for a really painful bump that popped up on my back last week. I sat there for an hour before they took me back, and the waiting room was so stuffy. Found out the bump is infected (joy of all joys). And now my back is aching. Starting to rethink my "I'll work until my due date" plan.

    39 weeks, 2 days.. several hot flashes the last couple of days.. Woke up 3 times last night dripping sweat, then had back and lower abdominal pain in my left side only.. making it miserable to lay down and sleep...

    Also, the fact that everyone keeps asking if I've had the baby yet, how are you feeling, had any pains?? It's great everyone is concerned but this baby will come whenever he wants.. There's nothing I can do to speed up the process.. UGH

    I don't usually post but I was due sat the 3rd and I'm still pregnant! I know babies go late but The doc wont let me go over 41 weeks due to glucose intolerance so if baby doesn't come by this sat I will be induced and I really want her to come naturally. I went to the doc today and she was going to strip my membranes to try to get labor to start before sat but I was so closed up she couldn't. She could barely even reach my cervix but the baby is pretty low. I know baby will come when she comes but I would rather not have to be induced.

    I'm soooo sick of hearing "where's the baby?!" "Still no baby?!" NOPE APPARENTLY NOT! I'm 40wks4days so it's not like I'm super late but I don't need to be reminded by EVERYONE! I'm also still working which is annoying because everyone says the same thing! We purposely skipped SO's company BBQ yesterday to avoid the annoying "where's baby?" comments. Also done with getting "just checking in" calls, messages, texts! And these are from our PARENTS who we PROMISED a million times we would call when things start to happen.. PLUS someone has to take DD when it does happen so it's not like we have the luxury to sneak to the hospital and have baby without anyone knowing... We will effing call! Stop buggin me! Oye, just as I typed this a text from step mom came in... To check in.. Can I hibernate until labor starts?! ~X( ~X(
    I'm right there with you! 40 weeks, 5 days. Induction scheduled for Friday and today we told family to back off this week and if they haven't heard from us by Saturday they could pester us then.

    *quote box fail*
    God I'm glad I'm not the only one. 41 weeks today and I wish everyone would just leave me alone. No I do not have a baby yet. No I'm not dilated. No I'm not having contractions. Even if I were having contractions, I wouldn't really feel the need to tell you. I know my friends are well meaning, but they are driving me insane. I wish there were a polite way to say "Leave me the F alone".

    Only 35w2d, but have been having painful contractions since 2 weeks ago. Was in the hospital for a couple of days, until they got the med that slowed them down.
    So now I'm home, taking an oral med every 4-6 hours that makes me feel awful, and STILL having painful contractions every afternoon/evening. For hours at a time. They hurt and keep me from enjoying anything at all, especially sleep.
    Guesses are that she'll come early, and we're hoping to make it a couple of more weeks, but with my luck, I'll make it all the way to 40 weeks having painful contractions the entire time!!!

    Ouch. :(

    40 weeks & 4 days today...
    Called gas company for a propane fill as we are on empty. Being we are planning a home water birth, we need heat and hot water. Of course our company ONLY delivers our town on Mondays so I got up at 7am to call and schedule a fill. Well my gas company changed their set in stone policies last week and will only deliver on thursdays... even if I pay for emergency service they won't come until tomorrow night. Considering where I live it's 45 (f) degrees the last couple days we need heat to have this baby at home.

    I am hoping she stays in another day at least. But I'm also tired of being over due!

    I have 3 of them...

    1. My due date was the 3rd, still no baby. I keep getting texts and calls asking if the baby is here and how I'm feeling. And everyone at work is surprised that I'm still working and telling me that I'm "crazy". I just don't want to sit at home all day & not do anything since the entire house is clean from me nesting like a manic.

    2. At my appointment last week, my doctor said she will induce me on the 9th (at 41 weeks). But today she said they're full or something and I'll go in on Sunday night at 7:30. I was looking forward to having my son Friday :( at least it gives me more time to go into labor naturally.

    3. I'm pretty sure she stripped my membranes or something because when she checked my cervix, it was way more painful and she was up there for a while. So now I'm sitting on the couch really grumpy because my cervix hurts but I'm not having contractions.

    Just moved into a new house this weekend and my boyfriend is taking his sweet time to unpack his stuff. I want things ready for when the baby comes. Luckily my mom can in town to help unpack me and set up for the baby. I have the baby room set up and my bags are mostly packed for when the time comes.

    Today I have been emotional because my mom is leaving and I probably won't see her again till its time for baby. Also I'm 38 weeks and baby still hasn't dropped. Luckily, this is my last week of work.

    37 weeks, 6 days today and I am being head butted in the cervix. On top of that gained 8 lbs in 2 weeks, even though I have stayed active and kept the same diet as before.

    I may have mentioned before that my mom is a bit of a tiger mom....therefore I have to call her after every appointment or she will blow my phone up. Well today I opted to have an exam because I have to travel home (driving) for my Grandmas funeral. At my last appointment my doctor wanted all of my traveling to be done but was making an exception for this. I don't feel like I am going to deliver anytime soon but felt the need to know where we are at just in case. Anyway I tell my mom how far I have progressed and she screams it out to our whole family....smh.

    Due the 21st and my doc said really any day now. Unfortunately, I live in SC and I'm delivering at MUSC (which is downtown charleston, which is basically closed) from all the rain from Joaquin so I'm freaking out if I can't get to my hospital and I go into labor... I mean there are other hospitals around but I purposely switched to this hospital because I don't trust the one closest to me. Praying that the roads clear up!!! I will find out more at my doctors on Wednesday on what I have to do if I can't get to the hospital.

    I had to pee every hour and a half today. The bathroom is up 20 steps and I work 12 hour shifts. That's like 160 steps one way and this pregnant body can't take it anymore. I sit on the pot and breathe like I just ran a marathon abs then I have to pull my pants up which is work now days.. 3 more weeks.

    My least favorite customer changed the times he milks his cows and now wants me at his farm for the night milking. His night shift starts at 5pm. And goes to midnight. So far we have 100 cows done and about 70 more to go. I'm so over this night. The older guy he has milking tonight is slower than molasses in January and does not small talk at all. I'm soooooo bored. To top it off my husband texted me that he is hanging out with some friends of ours while I'm stuck here in purgatory. At least on my hour drive home I pass a McDonald's and plan on getting an ice cream cone.

    Apparently taking two doses of zofran today meant nothing because I just ralphed up my dinner. I feel like the nausea and vomiting has gotten worse in the past week. I will not miss that.

    I pee every 5 minutes. This happens the day following a day I spend lots of time on my feet or moving around. It's so annoying I want to cry. There are even times I lose bladder control completely on the way to the bathroom not like I fully pee my pants but it's definitely enough to change my undies. Rolling over in bed does the same thing. I have a short torso so the bladder pressure is terrible!!

    Oh and just random days I can usually go about 20-30 minutes without using the bathroom. Luckily when I lay down I can go over an hour.

    If it wasn't for this constant peeing Id be so much more comfortable and happy.
