The lightning pain that shoots down the leg has started. I promise I haven't 'forgotten' I am pregnant, no need to pile on the symptoms.
Heartburn, nausea, pelvic girdle pain, lack of sleep from said pain, constant sensation that I need to urinate, rabbit poop, headaches, faintness, fatigue, human furnace syndrome, lightning crotch, and now lightning leg.
38+3 today. Mild low back pain, sciatica gone thanks to chiropractor, occasional lightening crotch/stabbing vagina feeling, nesting, weird bursts of energy (awake at 5:45 on my day off wtf), lots of BH but nothing regular yet. As of 2 days ago, not dilated yet but I know that can change anytime.
I'm having period type cramps, not the like the first day agony kind of cramps but like the second or third day kind of cramps. Not painful enough to be a concern just annoying! Insomnia too, its super annoying!
I find it extremely irritating that I spend the entire night trying to. Get comfy enough to sleep and of course I can't manage that until my alarm goes off for the 5th time. It is going to be a long day
Insomnia. I was up anyway at 3am this morning, but LO felt like he was spinning around right on my cervix....it hurt so bad. It was for a solid 5 minutes, very painful, I couldn't sit or lay down, almost woke up DH.
So things are now at a standstill. And I'm so frustrated. I went into L & D on Sunday night with strong and close contractions. They sent me home because I was only dilated to 1 cm, but they were sure id be back in a day or two. Had an appt on Wednesday morning-- still only dilated to 1 cm. My dr is shocked because she thinks I'm at least two weeks ahead of my recorded due date. So she said to walk as much and as quickly as possible and do as little sitting as possible and she was sure it would be quick. Here I am Friday, and I don't think there's been any progress. Contractions are less strong and even more irregular. And I'm bored! I'm too uncomfortable to go out and do anything so I walk twice a day, read, watch tv, clean minimally around the house, and nap sitting in a chair. So bored and tired of waiting.
Also, last night at 2 am a skunk sprayed outside my bedroom window that was wide open. I finally woke up to the horrible smell, after it had permeated throughout the whole house. And then Inwas awake the rest of the night. Waaaaahhhh!
My poor hips. As soon as I get a good hour of sleep in I have to get up to pee and switch to my other side. This happens every hour. After tonight I only have 2 more days of work. I can do this!
Increasingly common tearing/jabbing cervix pressure. Telling myself that means things are progressing until doc tells me otherwise. *the power of the mind
OK, I'm done. Tried to have sex with hub last night and could not find a single comfortable position, which led to awkwardness because it's not fun for him if I'm not enjoying it. Time to get out, LO! You are cramping my style!
In addition to that, I now have perpetually swollen ankles, but at least it feels like baby has moved down some.
I'm having a ton of Braxton hicks contractions now. I've been diagnosed with chromohidrosis (colored sweat) because I'm always hot and I'm now turning blue so that's fantastic (insert sarcastic tone here). Have an appointment with a surgeon because apparently this pregnancy has done a number on my gall bladder and it now needs to be removed. Lack of sleep, pregnancy brain, but feeling a huge urge to scrub every imaginable surface in our home. Back aches, head aches, lightening, and cramps. I love my son already but so ready to have him out of me!
I think I'm having contractions? It feels like bad period cramps and they're coming and going every 10 or less minutes. They aren't so bad that I can bare them. My mom thinks I should go get checked out so she's on her way over in case they get worse.
I've been having cramps all day. Feeling really off and not very hungry. They started getting slightly painful a couple hours ago and 5 minutes apart for about an hour. Now they have just stopped!!! I guess I am going to eat ice cream and go to bed.
Good luck @shaylalr! i have given up on sleeping in the bed. I don't even try anymore. With the hip pain and the indegestion it seems a waste. Woke up several times last night with sharp period like pains on one side, front and back. Seemed to be having a good many contractions yesterday too. Yay?
Started experiencing cramping yesterday and it's continued into today. Combined with what I think is my bloody show. I feel so clueless!! My husband is gone for the rest of the day at a triathlon training day with limited phone access so I'm hoping nothing too exciting happens.
Cramping/BH contractions just in the morning, or that I'm able to notice. Sorry baby John, you need to stay put another week and a half until your dad gets home! Preferably 3 and half weeks. Ok, thanks
Contractions most of the day yesterday, and today none. I did immediately throw up my breakfast this morning,and had an awful headache, I'm hoping that might be a sign of things to come? Either way, not in the mood to do anything, and my in-laws are coming over today for a cookout.
Two days into July and already the birth announcement thread is so packed. Congrats to all the new momma's, your babies are adorable! Jealousy has increased x1000 The joys of being an end of month momma!
So super random but I pee all the time like almost constantly these days. Last night I got up to pee but my stomach was kind of tight and it was super painful to go to the bathroom like burned yet this morning peed like normal. What the heck is going on?

I've been nauseous after eating yesterday and today too. No throwing up yet (but that's rare for me anyway). Can these babes just let up on new symptoms for all of us this late in the game?
I keep getting a sharp pain on my left side, followed by rightness of the belly, sometimes only on one side sometimes the entire belly. Not sure if this count as anything or not
@samantha1206 Someone said before that you can get contractions just on one side, I can't remember what thread it was in though! You should try lay down for a while to see if it gets better/worse!
Any one elses breast hurt all of the sudden? Not just tender or sensitive but my actual breast tissue is really hurting, like I was in the 2 weeks wait. I don't recall this with my first two babies.
Lots of crampiness going on in my uterus here and there. When it's hot I can feel my legs and feet swell. My back hurts like no other and it's getting really difficult to find a comfortable position at night. Getting lots of Braxton Hicks and random bouts of diarrhea (sorry tmi but is a sign of labor)... haven't lost my mucus plug or anything yet, but I'm on the look out since it's getting close and I can tell my body is getting ready for labor!!! Sooooo excited to see my baby soon!!!! 38 weeks today.
I'm not officially timing contractions (yet) but they are almost clockwork 30 minutes apart right now. I am guzzling water. My other "symptoms" are really vague (nesting, lightening about 4 weeks ago) and I haven't lost my mucous plug yet. The doctor checked me on Wednesday and I was totally closed, though I know that can change pretty fast.
I don't want to get my hopes up but I also don't really want to go into work tomorrow morning :-/
Three weeks ago I was 1 cm, on Thursday I was 2 cm and 40% effaced.. But no contractions, mucous plug, or bloody show so far. I know my body is getting ready but I guess baby is happy where he is! It's frustrating to feel so close but not have any idea when things will get rolling. 38 weeks today so at least I'm in the home stretch!
