I’ve had the same pains a few times after I pee (usually at night) and have to sit there for a bit til it passes- it’s a sharp pain. I just thought it may be a bad BH since I slack on my water intake towards the evening. I dunno though
I have been feeling pretty good...until yesterday. SO MUCH cramping. DH finally made me just sit down last night in the midst of our nighttime chores. I got a good night's sleep last night...and I'm still feeling run down and crampy. It's making me feel like this kid is coming soon. Wishful thinking??
@burnsmommy27 - Yep, every time I get up from the couch or bed I let out a groan and DH goes "vagina bone again?" Hahaha.
But seriously I cannot wait to change positions in bed, put on my shoes, and stand up without being in pain. When I get up from my desk chair I just have to stand for a minute and then take my first few steps really slow to minimize the pain.
@kelk5 what's worst is I'm pretty sure who it was and she came into MY office to use the extra computer when she was all sick. I wiped it all down when she left with Clorox but looks like damage was done
@gusgus14 that's funny, not the pain part but that he says "vagina bone"?
I told DH that we realistically have 1.5 to 3 weeks left and he said he was nervous. Why the hell are you nervous?!?! I told him he just has to sit there and not touch me
@cyanope YES! That is exactly how I feel! So I have started to think that she is making her entrance sooner rather than later, but who really knows for sure! I am sure it is my own wishful thinking as well. I can see myself tonight though doing the mad dash to make sure everything is in order and my hospital bags are in the car!
@EmilyLove25, yes I feel like he's dropped this week. And the cervical pressure is getting more intense...but I'm trying not to get too excited. I REALLY want to make it one more week (so the semester can be done), but as long as I get through this week, I'll be okay. Soooooo close!!
All the muscle fatigue. After walking up the stairs it feels like I’ve climbed a mountain. As soon as I relax for the night all my muscles seem to be sore and just flat out tired. Did I block this out from last time, or is it just from wrestling the octopus that is my toddler?
I woke up feeling like I’ve been hit by a truck. I slept hard last night and I didn’t do anything yesterday but lay around. So tired. Persistent low backache like I get before a period. Here’s hoping this is pre-labor related.
OMG that just reminded me of a late-term drive-by we got in S14. A rando came in and said she had been in a closing on a house and shit herself for 45 minutes without realizing, and did this mean she was in labor? To which we mostly said, what?, how do you know it was 45 minutes if you didn't realize it was happening?, and who are you?.
What do you guys do for coughs? I've been sick since maybe Wednesday of last week. We've got the humidifier going, I've been using cough drops sparingly, and honey chamomile tea, not sure if there's much else I can do?
*TMI* I also have vicious hemorroids right now. It hurts so much to sit, and the bleeding is not fun. I don't know if there's anything my OB can do at this point, but I'll probably bring it up at my appointment tomorrow.
@schaze that's pretty much what I did last week with my cold. Idk if you have one close or your DH can stop but I got a medicine ball tea from Starbucks and it helped my throat a lot.
@schaze witch hazel/ tucks pads help so much! Also sitz baths if you have one. I've actually been soaking my tp in witch hazel before wiping at this point.
@schaze sorry to hear that. When I had a cought it's all the things already mentioned plus sleeping on a recliner and no fan.
I think LO has dropped because it hurts when I stand, walk, lean forward, twist. I thought the first one was a contraction when I stood up and started to walk. I had to stop and sit down. It stopped once sitting for a little bit. Tried going to the bathroom but that didn't help. I can feel her move when sitting.
I have been having major pressure down below and sore to the touch (feels like I was kicked in the vag about 30 times a day lol) and now with the start of the cramping this morning at 2am that really painful pressure is pretty much gone. I don't know if that means she switched positions or what, I know she is still head down because of where I feel her when she moves, but it makes me think she is a little less engaged? I don't have my doctor's appointment until Friday where we will do a cervical check, but I can't help but be a little bummed. I am thinking that my doctor jinxed me saying she would make her arrival prior to the 22nd, oh well!
@schaze Seriously, try a neti pot or sinus rinse. Getting all that junk out so it didn't become postnasal drip and make me hack up a lung was well worth the weird "oh god my nose is drowning" sensation.
Thanks for the ideas, everyone! @bainidhedub I love my neti pot, I didn't even think to get it out for just a cough! My nose isn't really a big problem yet, but you're right, getting all that crap out of there could help my throat too.
37 week today... Been losing my mucus plug yesterday and today. Lots of cramping and BH contractions at night. Super tired. Hopefully he waits until after Christmas!

I'm having this weird groin muscle pulling/stretching pain on both sides when i walk or roll over in bed. Not sure if it's just growing pains or what it is. I thought RLP should be over by now, but i guess not!

ETA: omg cervix pain today. Ouch ouch ouch
Also Eff this cold and whoever gave it to me. I'm far too pregnant to be sick too.

@missblaze Same! It's so funny how you can go from being constipated for months to this. Yay for being close to the end!
