Hi Ladies,
Just checking in on all of you that are still here. How are these last weeks/days going?
I just had my 39 week check-up. It's the first time I've been checked for dilation and I'm one cm. I'm feeling tired, slow, and swollen, but I'm still chugging along at work. Ant one else working up til baby arrives? How are you all feeling?

Mostly a lurker here, but I'll play
38+1, feeling the same way you described with an add on of acid reflux. At work, wishing I was at home relaxing instead. My workload is very light so I can't really complain. Will be here until LO makes his arrival.
I'm a lurker too, but I was missing all the updates as the board has gotten quiet. Hopefully other people will play
So much pressure. Honestly it feels like if she gets any lower she’s going to fall out. Ready to be done and be able to function more normally.
DHs nesting has turned into him not sleeping since I guess he feels like he needs to be on alert and ready at anytime. 🙄
They did catch some contractions at my NST this morning so things are getting going at least. But nothing regular.

Seriously, what do super pregnant people do for the last few weeks? I'm so done with cleaning/organizing!
Also I remember saying that birth is not like that scene in coneheads but my fluid levels are higher then last week when they said I had quite a good amount. Should I pack a snorkel? Lol.

Ok so I'm 38 weeks today and my doctor checked me and said babe isn't engaged at all 😭 her recommendation to DH and I was to have lots of sex. That is so not something I'm in the mood for! Anyone find any good sex positions for 38 week tummy?! We've been strictly doggy style and BJs for months!
I’ve been working from home but am thinking of going on leave tomorrow. We’ll see what happens.

Work: Since I’m a coach my job is seasonal, so I’ve been done since mid February. I’m always impressed by everyone still working. Right now I’m trying to decide if I want to take the summer season off. I feel like since I’ll only be 4-6weeks pp, have 3 kids and blueberry season (which means no DH 90% of the time)that it will be too stressful. On the other hand I love all my swimmers like my own and I don’t want to disappoint anyone.

Anyway, i've still got a bit to go. My "due date" is April 30th. 36+4 measuring about 37 and 1CM dilated and 70% effaced at my appointment today. I plan on working as long as I can, my husband and I run a business and I do ordering and online fulfillment so the work is mild but the stress is high being self employed. Luckily I have got pretty good at not getting stressed... even though we still have yet to find my replacement here while I am out.
@rennie1108 I love being home with my kids but they are exhausting, especially with this week being spring break. I’ve also had my autistic nephew here since Sunday
Im just trying to plug away and get more work tasks under control. It feels never ending.
