Hi everyone who is still here!
Yay - we made it to February!! I noticed there hasn't been a lot of postings the last few days. I wanted to start a new thread for whatever anyone wants to talk about during these last few weeks!
How is everyone feeling? Any signs/symptoms?
Re: February Randoms
Stupid prodromal labor has me on the edge of my seat but isn't going anywhere. I'm 37w6d today so it really could be anytime but my earliest LO came at 38w4d so I'm skeptical I'll have a baby in my arms for at least another week!
Also, this app sucks. I havent been able to love-tit anyone's post for over a week and I'm feeling really annoyed. I even tried on my desktop, but nope.

FTM with 2 more weeks to go and I am still working this week so we will see! Read that baby can come anytime btwn now and 41 weeks . Managing the GD but can't wait to eat In n Out (there is one across from the hospital).
So excited for our month, ladies!!!
I'm settling into life as a mom of 4. Been a crazy week. DD was readmitted 2 days after we went home to spend the night under the blue lights to get her bilirubin down. She's doing great now. Just trying to figure out what our new normal is!
@MrsCaliRN the app is literally the worst!
I'm 38w 4 days today and also FTM. I lost my mucus plug on Saturday (totally sent a picture of it to the doula just to check) and I think things are progressing? I can't really tell. I've been pretty crampy on and off since then and yesterday and today I've had some serious low back ache/pains! Last week they said baby is sitting very low, I was 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced. I get checked again on Thursday and the doctor said if things keep moving she'll strip my membranes on the 12th if I haven't gone into labor on my own by then.
So many emotions all at once!
I'm getting checked tomorrow.
Well my checkup today was a bit stressful. Blood pressure was high so they did a nst which was fine but then they found protein in my urine. So now I am doing the 24hr urine test. I hope I don't get induced and my baby girl just shows up since I have less than 2 weeks to go
My midwife did a small sweep of my membranes today (btw, ouch!!) to try and get more contractions going. She is still planning on doing the regular sweep next Tuesday but is going to look at the hospital's induction calendar and call me this afternoon to make a "just in case" appointment. I'm hoping this little guy gets the hint and just makes his debut on his own!
@glitterbug6 Yay! hope everything goes well!
5 weeks old...i finally understand the sleep while you can thing i heard so much during pregnancy!
I ended up losing a whole lot more mucus last night and it was brownish blood in color. Our doula thought labor might have kickstarted last night but so far, nothing.
Hope something happens for you!
@glitterbug6 congrats! Hope you are both doing well!
@sarahsaurus-2 congrats on your LO! Hope you are both dpdoi well!
@kenishi and @zencats goodluck, hopefully LO will come soon.
Still waiting it out, find out about induction date tomorrow
@jgrodo any news on induction date?
@glitterbug6 are you home? How are you feeling?
You’ve got to be getting close or already delivered. Good luck!!
Im moving okay! Getting up and back down is the hardest for me but once I get moving it’s easy to keep moving. The recliner is my best friend for that reason.
The OB called and my iron levels have gotten so low I have to go back in sometime to get an IV of iron and they said that will help with the healing too.
Thinking of you!! Hopefully your little one will just get the hint and get on moving!
That's great that the recliner is helpful!
Oh no! That's stinks about the iron, hopefully they will be able to get it sorted out quickly. I can only imagine that that would add the new parent exhaustion!
Thanks 🤞 tomorrow goes better then Tuesday did!
So before birth I told the relatives that we didn't need help right away and to give us time to figure things out. Well, hubby and I broke and his mom is coming tomorrow Woohoo FTM still learning and accepting help is okay
Can't wait to hear more birth announcements!
