I had BH for a good portion of the night. I even had to hop a bath at 2 am because they were so uncomfortable. Felt better afterwards but now I'm just feeling lots of pressure in my pelvic region once again. No idea what my body is up to!
Rant/Rave/Questions? just realized that this is the last Ticker Change I'll be posting seeing as it's baby day this time next week! if anyone wants to take over afterwards.... probably not? Lol GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? being on mat leave has given me the chance to sleep almost daily in the last week but I have quite a few appts coming up in the next few days so at least that will make the time pass. I'm going to get my hair done today. Woohoo!

Yesterday was my first weekly appointment so next Wednesday with the MW
Any signs that baby could be coming soon?
Not really. I've been having some contractions but my MW says it's probably my body getting ready and doesn't necessarily mean that labor is going to come early.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm tired of being tired and I'm tired of working. I hate commuting an hour each way by train and it just takes so much out of me. GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? Just knowing that I'm going to meet this baby so soon and being excited for not going back to work.
Any signs that baby could be coming soon? I'm currently being induced, so that seems like a good sign.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Not a fan of waiting for Pitocen to work it's magic... GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? The baby is what I wanted so desperately will be here soon! We tried for a year to conceive so I'm keeping those feeling with me to get through this.
When is your next appointment? Next Thursday with my doctor, but next Weds with my doula, and tonight with my acupuncturist
Any signs that baby could be coming soon? Not really, but pressure when walking, and apparently my cervix is softening per my doc
Rant/Rave/Questions? So so so tired of work. I have 2 weeks left unless the baby comes sooner and I'm just dragging myself out of bed every morning. GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? I'm getting really excited to meet our baby! But probably what is really getting me through at this point is my weekly acupuncture and massages. I need all the relaxation and comfort I can get right now.
How far along are you? 36w +3d. Yay for moving dates
How big is baby? 7lb 13oz as of this morning! I was fearing a 9+ pounder, so I am relieved.
When is your next appointment? Monday. We'll finally schedule the induction date!!
Any signs that baby could be coming soon? Nothing headline-worthy. I cracked up at how chill @purplewriter 's answer is. "I'm actively getting induced, so yep!"
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm (probably unwisely) spoiling myself and starting maternity leave 3 or 4 days early. Tomorrow is my last day!! GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? I don't even know, lol.
How big is baby? size of a bucket of fried chicken haha
When is your next appointment? tomorrow (Fri 1/27) just a normal check up
Any signs that baby could be coming soon? feelings of general carampiness and pressure gets me all stirred up wondering if the cramps will progress to actual contractions.
Rant/Rave/Questions? based off my other 2 kids being born a few days before their due dates, I'm assuming this one will be born in about 9 or 10 days and it's got me freaking out today!! Ahhh GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? absolutely nothing. I've been an emotional roller-coaster and would really love a heavily loaded alcoholic beverage to help me unwind.
Any signs that baby could be coming soon? no signs and no changes in my cervix, still 0-0
Rant/Rave/Questions? my husband just got a new job and will be starting in the next few weeks, which means we need to buy insurance for a month, since that's when little bean is due. I wish they hadn't been so slow with their hiring process, he applied two months ago! GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? ds1 talks about his new brother all the time and it's exciting to see how excited he is about helping with another baby. Also, it's nice to know there's not too much time left. I'm just hoping to make it to ds2's birthday and party day. I'll be 39 weeks at that point
When is your next appointment? NST on Monday and they'll check my cervix there too
Any signs that baby could be coming soon? nothing out of the usual. She is really low so a lot of pressure and some pain. Some cramping and mild BH. Nothing to write home about.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm so glad it is Friday. I'm getting a mani/pedi this weekend! GTKY: What is getting you through these final weeks? no idea. I'm excited to meet our girl but I want her to cook at least another week. Fortunately, they won't induce me before 38 wks.
@concreteangell it has become a necessity. I can't reach my toes and I almost hurt myself inserting evening primrose oil last night... There is a reason women who love women keep their nails short -- OUCH.
