I echo @nimmle ‘s “ughhhh”. I’ve been going to the pool a few times a week - feels pretty nice. Also sleeping with ice packs wedges under my sides and back. Otherwise, I am out of comfort ideas as well - apart from wishing this LO will just come out!!!
Question - I want to set up my diaper caddy and shelf next to the change table - but I don’t want to take the diapers out of the package because I feel they’ll not be “sterile” anymore... am I being ridiculous? Because not having the caddy fully ready is also driving me crazy. Do you vote to take the diapers out or leave them for now?
@canucklehead123 I’m waiting. Our changing table topper for the dresser is coming tomorrow and it will take some restraint not to put everything out, but I’m holding off until the LO is here for the diapers.
i took all my sample diapers out to fill the caddy and will use those first, then once she comes Ill open up the real packs.
ugh today was rough, been cramping really bad all day and having tons of BH. If Im not dilating then idk what the eff this is. Just hope she doesnt come on friday the 13th LOL
Totally in the "get this baby out now" mode. So uncomfortable!!!! Ive technically got 10 days left till due date. The only way I'm able to sleep is at an angle with a buttload of pillows stacked behind and around me. Every other position hurts. Found out it's because baby girl's head is so deep down in my pelvis and her shoulders are rubbing against my pelvic bone. Good times...not! I'm now dilated to 1.5cm, 70% effaced, and stationed at 0. Shit is extremely uncomfortable all around. Walking is a challenge. I've been having BH today, which I'm all for. Maybe contractions and/or water breaking will happen tonight or tomorrow!?!? Wishful thinking...I'm all for a Friday the 13th baby...
@canucklehead123 I did the same thing as @babygagnon2018. I also have the diapers people wrote on at my baby shower in there (minus ones that looked too messed up).
Tonight I had timetable contractions for an hour then took a shower had a couple more then nothing. Even had some MP. I was 40 weeks Wednesday, I'm all for a Friday 13th baby
although I want this girl out with 10 days left idk about a friday the 13th baby but the cramping and BH continue. sitting at work is miserable, getting up to walk around a lotttttt today
So I'm technically due August 2nd, but everyone in the August group apparently went to facebook...? Anyway...I'm curious if anyone else hasn't really felt any symptoms and feels pretty good still? I just passed 37 weeks and I'm not uncomfortable, I feel great, I sleep well, and other than being hot the only thing that's happened lately is occasional very mild period like cramping. I wonder...does this mean baby girl isn't even close to coming???

I echo what @canucklehead123 said about hanging in the pool as a comfort measure! It has been heavenly for me. I don't ever realize how uncomfortable it was to move until I get in the pool and have so much range of motion pain free. But it does suck when I have to drag my fat butt out of the water...
@hoff079 I was feeling great (despite the typical aches and pains) until I hit 39 weeks then everything started taking a turn. Coming by good sleep is a distant memory, don't even ask me to walk up an incline of any sort, and "What does life look like without constant join pain?" Enjoy the relatively symptom free time as much as you can! Because once they start coming on (while exciting) they aren't that much fun
Things are going fine for me. Been starting to have more mild menstrual like cramping and I think I'm losing bits and pieces of mucus plug everyday, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Even though I would LOVE for this guy to make his appearance any day now. I am OVER. IT. So lots of bouncing on my exercise ball, walking, and sex this weekend to help things along!
I'm raving because my Dad (aka personal chef) just arrived in town and I cannot wait to be spoiled with all the food I want. #pregnantprincess
hoff079 I didnt start feeling any symptoms/issues until 38+4 and now its gone from 0-60 quick. ya just never know.
I was 100% fine also until then. After mid 38 weeks I was just uncomfortable and not in any pain though. Didn't start feeling off until 39weeks and I delivered 2 days later! I had no major symptoms the whole time,didn't even wake to pee very often. I know it's an exception for sure.
That makes me feel so much better! I don't even wake up to pee either! I feel so blessed and thankful that this has been so easy. I guess we'll see how next week goes!
