At my appt yesterday my dr offered to induce today. It took everything I had in me to turn it down because I'm so tired of being pregnant. We agreed I'll see him on Tuesday and discuss induction then if she hasn't made an appearance.....
i feel like a terrible mother for even considering an induction just so I don't have to be pregnant anymore

If they said they would induce me today I would be "where do I sign?" You are stronger then I am lol!
@Tawny87 it was REALLY hard. But I was induced with my son and had a terrible experience so I'm really trying to avoid that this time around. Plus I really want that "oh my gosh it's time!" Experience
I've been on maternity leave for 1 week and I'm already bored and lonely. I thought getting the house sold would be enough of a sense of purpose to keep me going, and it's certainly been easier than if I was working, but it really starts to solidify my choice to return to work after baby is born. I do appreciate the extra naps though.
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
My friends are taking me to dinner tonight to celebrate before baby comes. It's not a big deal, most people aren't even coming, but I'm obsession about what to wear like a teenage girl before a date. It's so silly, but nothing cute really fits well anymore, and I'd rather not look like I'm taking the kids to the park when I'm out for the evening.
My confession is how upset I am by the hurry up and wait. I had my twins at 33 weeks without any "true" labor. I am due Monday and have had contractions and bloody show and nothing... Plus my hubby has to go on a business trip in 16 days!!! I know I should put my big girl pants on because he will be out by next Friday regardless but it would be nice if my baby was older than 9 days old when my hubby leaves for a week.
Whenever I see questions like 'I had XYZ symptom, could it be a sign of labor?' I always think 'You're 37 weeks pregnant, of f'ing course it's a sign of labor! It's not a sign that labor will start tomorrow, but it's a sign that labor is coming in the next 3 weeks!'
Then, I'm up at night googling, 'increased discharge sign of labor', 'increased BH contractions sign of labor'... evidently I need to have a talk with myself.
Also, I'm so sick of talking about my pregnancy. I'm totally sick of it. Not with my SO or family, but with strangers or co-workers. I'm sick of the attention it brings from people I would normally just silently pass in the hallway/street. Let's just stop already.
Well my hubby just gave the girls pool noodles that they use to hit shit around the house and I just had an emotional rage filled tantrum and screamed at him and ripped the noodles out their hands and made them cry for 20 minutes. Feeling pretty amaze balls at my emotional and hormonal state this morning, and to make my fit all the more rational I ugly cried during it.
@BPaisley my Google search history in the past few days had been 90% googling symptoms to see if they're a sign of labor despite knowing that it's a 50/50 shot at best that anything I'm feeling means something. It's so awful but at 3 weeks left until I (hopefully) meet my baby I'm so ready for any sign that I'm in the final days already!
The Thursday before Memorial Day weekend I had an appt where my OB mentioned there wasn't a ton of fluid in with baby. When I got home I looked up "low amniotic fluid" and saw if it's really low sometimes you get put on bed rest. So I called my work (I work retail 2 days a week, 4 hour shifts if I'm lucky sometimes it's just one day) and told them my Dr wanted me to stop working and stay off my feet as much as I could. They knew I was quitting anyway, I just hadn't decided when. So I told a bit of a lie to quit early. Do I feel bad? Maybe a little, but it's not like my job was super important and they couldn't get someone else to work for me. So my manager used my sick time for the days I was on the schedule already and then after my last "shift" put in the paper work that I was done working. So now I just have to worry about the annoying kids I babysit and thanks to sickness in both households, today is the only day I have to watch them this week!
I'm a third time mom and I'm still go ogling if things are a sign of labor. I don't think the rational part of my brain will ever fully take over when it comes to pregnancy.

I have also been googling away! This week has been so hard for me lol, I even googled to see if an emotional breakdown was a sign of impending labor lol.

This. My third too and my OB will ask if I've had contractions or leaking and I'm like...uh, I don't know...maybe. They've all been so different though, each time felt like the first.

I totally did that last night too. It kinda makes sense, a hormonal surge could totally indicate labor right?

The internet seems to indicate this! Here's hoping it's true and I'm not just a psycho who makes her kids cry lol.

Not a third time mom, only second, but I had to be told basically that I was in labor this time because it was different than my first, so I didn't put two and two together until the doc told me. So much for the "you just know". And yes to the furious googling, although I still only managed to find the answer "maybe"! Everything and its opposite seems to be a sign of labor!

Oh Goodness Google...I am embarrassed to say that I googled images of what a mucus plug looked like...I glanced for less than 5 seconds and was so grossed out I yelled internally at myself that what I did was so unnecessary and cringe-worthy. OH THE SHAME!!!

Oh and now it constantly shows me on my search history when I start typing...just to remind me how foolish I was!
Confession 1 - got upset when my Csection was scheduled for June 14. Not sure why, but I had it in my head that it would be June 10. I've told myself a million times that women don't usually get to pick their baby's birthday so I don't know why I should get to choose mine. Complete craziness.
confession 2 - my almost three year old has been such a jerk to me lately. Just me. Loves daddy, wants nothing to do with mommy. I've cried multiple times because she's said mean things like "I don't want you to be my mommy anymore". I'm worried because it'll just get worse when baby actually comes. I've actually told my husband I'm not sure I want two kids anymore - and maybe we should find a new home for daughter and start over with new baby.
I plan on going to the Del Mar Fair on Wednesday so I can eat funnel cake, mini donuts and cinnamon rolls. Even though it'll be hot and I'll be 38 weeks pregnant...eek.

My two year old wants nothing to do with me, just dad. And he'll cry and cry when DH leaves. I wonder if it's because he knows something up with me and the babies coming. At least that's what I tell myself so my feelings don't get hurt!
@colesmom33 my mom (who is a psychologist, lol) says that she's picking up on my stress and the changes. I call bull - my husband is equally stressed, lol.
