I feel like my body is being such a tease the last few days. Friday lots of BH throughout the day and periods of period pain like pelvic pain, Saturday night I got woken up with pelvic pain twice but in the morning and for the rest of the day only a small amount of BH, yesterday woke up again with pelvic pain in the night it was stronger too, regular BH all day, periods of pelvic pain thought he day and two periods of contractions that petered out. But today everything seams to have settled down to just a few mild BH. I'm trying not to get too impatient but it's difficult with only 3 days to go till my due date.
I hope this means you're almost there @cornichonmam, FX for you! I've had a lot of BH on and off the last week, but had my first round of regular ones last night, some painful! They seem to have tapered off now... kind of relieved as I wasn't quite ready for labor day to be labor day!
**sigh** It’s my due date with #3 and I’m extremely surprised to see this day with baby still inside. I’ve had BH since before 20 weeks, but they’re pretty much all day every day now and have been for the last 4 weeks. Today’s newest thing is pressure on my butt. So I’m guessing this baby has dropped even more from the -1 station he/she was last Tuesday at my appointment. I’ve had barely any contractions that I’d deem more than uncomfortable. Only the occasional lower belly cramp and even that has more to do with a full bladder than anything else.
TMI: Had the absolute worst acid reflux last night. Woke up with quite a bit in my mouth, tried to get up quickly to get to the bathroom, ended up with more coming out of my nose and more came up in my mouth. Have had issues with it since about 25 weeks. Thought I had figured out the 2 culprits: tomato based sauces and ice cream. Apparently it's more than just those two. Husband thinks maybe garlic too.
Also having pelvic and rectal pressure for the past 3-4 days. Thought it may have been from my cervical check on Thursday, but it hasn't subsided. Add intermittent back pain to symptoms. Submitting another 24 hr urine collection and have appointment tomorrow. Will hopefully make a decision on whether they will for sure be inducing me early or not. I'm so over bedrest and pressure!!
Oh man, I feel so bad for anyone dealing with stomach/reflux/heartburn issues--not at all fun.
My symptom of note continues to be very sharp lightning pain. It has now moved from up the sides of my upper thighs to straight up internally. While it's not consistently present, when it is, IT IS. It's also been 90+degrees with high humidity, so my feet only fit in a few pairs of sandals. All around ready to be done!
Soooo I lost my mucus plug Sunday night and Monday morning. Ever since then I have had increased discharge and it comes it small gushes. It appears to be clear and does not smell like anything. It is not normal discharge and does not contain Any mucus. Any opinions on if this could be amniotic fluid? I was induced at 41 weeks with my DS so this is all new to me. I have my 39 week appointment tomorrow a I will certainly be asking the Dr.

If it gushes when you stand up, or go from laying to sitting, there's a good chance it's your AF. If it just kinda comes out in almost gushes randomly, it's probably just increased watery discharge-I had that super awful for the last 5 days of pregnancy.

Me: 33 DH: 32 Married 7/18/15 1st born at 35+4 on 6/6/16 Team green turned BLUE! 2nd born at 38+6 on 8/30/18 Team green turned PINK! Due with #3 on 6/6/20 Team Green
Thanks! It's kind of in between and I just noticed white specs when I went to the bathroom - almost like little paint chips which is another sign of AF. Who knows? Pregnancy is so weird, we shall see what the Dr says tomorrow.
My BH seem to be less frequent overall the past week or two. But I have been having some in bed at night, sometimes rather painful, but can make then stop by changing positions. Last night I somehow pulled a muscle in my side/back and then had the strangest sensation of painful contractions radiating from that spot for like 15 minutes? Weird. I have to be really good about taking my omeprazole early in the day or I'm screwed heartburn wise for the rest of the day. Otherwise no symptoms really. Due Wednesday and I'm just crossing my fingers I can get to Wednesday afternoon so I can take DD to her first day of preschool. Then I will switch to hoping baby comes before we have to induce at 41 weeks! Look out, DH, you might just get laid!
My biggest issue is swelling, thank you pre-eclampsia and super humidity. My feet, ankles, calves, and arms are all out of control. Walking kills me because I can barely bend my ankle there’s so much fluid built up
I am just chunky, waddling around, and have BH pretty much 24/7. So much movement from this little guy! My first two sons were 5 and 6 days late, bUT this one seems like he is more active.
@franklynns hopefully you’ve already gotten checked out, but if it is AF, they usually want you to deliver within 24 hours to avoid the risk of infection. If you haven’t been yet, you might want to give the dr a call
My ankles and fingers are swollen in the morning, but tend to diminish as the day goes on and I hydrate more. My biggest annoyances right now are joint pain in my ankles and I am on the reflux train with many of you.
Nackie - the test in the office was inconclusive. The litmus showed AF but the Dr could not see any ferning over the microscope. So I'm at L&D being monitored and they will check me again soon. But I haven't felt any of the gushes since I've been here so soooo I'm thinking I'll just get sent home.
I'm 38 weeks and the dr thought last week I'd go soon... obviously didn't happen. I had my daughter a few days before 37 weeks.. so this is all new to me. I seem to be having similar issues as everyone else. Sat I had alot of cramps, horrible back pain and more contractions so I thought for sure something was happening.. but then the past 2 days I've felt very good! so random. My daughter's bday is today and we are having a party for her on sat.. so now i hope this baby stays in through sat!
