NZ - its not just a first time mom thing :) I'm having those little freak out moments the second time around too. But like you said, its all part of the adventure.
 
Ja - cute bump!!

Spiffy - congrats on making it full term. You're just a few days from meeting your little guy!

NZ - I had those same little freak outs while pregnant with my DD and yes having them again this time around too. But there is nothing like holding your baby for the first time! I just try to focus on that and remind myself everything else will work out. You will be a fantastic mom!!

AFM - I have another NST ultrasound tomorrow. Finally almost finished unpacking our house and can begin some major baby prep. All of his clothing is still in storage bins and his crib is being used to house a bunch of toys and boxes :wacko: It's crazy because at this point in my last pregnancy everything was set up and ready to go for my DD. I had even washed and ironed all of her little clothing haha! There is zero chance this baby will have anything ironed...he'll be lucky just to have it washed ;)
 
So I woke up way late for work, and I already know my day is going to be terrible and I've been dreading it. So I've decided to make this my last week. My work week is Monday-Thursday, so that means my Mat leave will start on May 2nd. I'll be getting a week's worth of pay because I have a vacation week, but the rest is unpaid. I'm already at a date where (if I go back) I would want to return at, because I want to return before school returns.
Anyways, going into work now, hopefully they don't get too mad at the almost-38 week pregnant girl for being late :/
 
I'm having freak out moments since I'm realizing how little time I had left at this point with my DD until her early arrival! I finally got around nod to pulling out the materials from my birthing class I took the first time. A little reassurance to tell me how I managed it the first time. 😁
 
Ladies, believe me, the pre-birth freak outs don't ever go away. I'm on #4 and still have moments of panic. :dohh:

Em, I don't have things nearly as ready as I did with my other kids, either. I haven't even unpacked the newborn boy clothes from last time, but at least I know they were all washed after DS2 outgrew them, which was only 17 or 18 months ago. :winkwink:

So last night was the worst night yet (except the nights in L&D where I got no sleep at all). I was just contracting all throughout the night so I was just tossing and turning and feel like I got no rest. It's a good thing they're inducing me, because I already worry that I'll be a wreck by the time baby is actually born, but I can't imagine how bad it would be if I had to go through this for two more weeks. :nope:
 
Spiffy - sorry to hear about last night :(. Thank goodness you don't have to go through this for much longer!

Ja - hope today isn't too bad. They shouldn't be allowed to get mad at you when you're 38 weeks pregnant . That's great this is your last week!!
 
Freak Outs happening over here too! :dohh: Don't feel bad ladies! Its one of the only times you can act completely irrationally and NO ONE is allowed to say or do anything except get you a treat and give you a foot rub! :haha:

Spiffy :happydance: :wohoo: Congrats on making it full term!!

SO jealous of some of you that are within days/week of your date!! I cannot wait to meet this violent little one (yes, this one is super violent! :haha: beating me up pretty bad lately!)
 
YAY spiffy, full term!!!!!!!

JA I hope they didn't get too upset with you, I know I couldn't get upset with someone being so far along!!!! :)

I too get the momentary fleeting freak out times.. But I remember them from before dd so I just let it go and roll with it!!!

Em, good luck at your nst. I am sure all will be well!! I have a growth scan tomorrow. Maybe we will both come back tomorrow with some pics to share :)
Glad you are getting the house unpacked.. I can not even begin to imagine your exhaustion!!

AFM: I had my chiropractic appointment today (missed the last few weeks) and it was amazing. I feel great now and as soon as I was done I felt baby down really low, so alignment is a good thing :) Plus they give a complimentary massage with every adjustment, so I got 45 minutes of neck/shoulders/back/hips and thighs massaged... ugh it was pure bliss!!!! I feel like a million bucks now!!! (they wont go below the knees because of the pressure points that can trigger labor, but I was totally like.. umm yeah go ahead :haha: but they didn't :rofl:) O well.. so the last few days I've been getting the worst menstrual type cramps in my front side. And just today it's turned into a menstrual backache that wraps around the front. I'm wondering if this is anything. And the last few mornings I've woken up to very painful boobs/nipples. Anyone else experiencing any of these things? I almost wish I'd lose some plug or something exciting!!!
 
Ja glad this is your last weeknst work, otst mine too and I can't wait for 5pm on Friday

Sorry you had a bad night spiffy, not long until induction now

Pink, I hope this is the start of something for you

Em, you have done really well on getting your house unpacked, the baby room with come along I'm sure
 
Hi Ladies!
Been a rough week and a bit, my Aunt who raised me and was my maternal figure, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last week which has been heartbreaking. The news triggered some contractions which ended up fizzling out. I kinda wish the baby would arrive since the funeral is going to be 12hr drive away and I cant do it this pregnant. Like many of you it seems I contract and ache all night and day but it never really goes anywhere!
So tired, so nervous, and cant wrap my head around the idea that in less than a month I will have a baby ! Sending labour vibes to all who have reached term, cant wait to see some squishy pink babies!
 
Flossie, I'm so sorry!!! That's so sad and I know you so wish you could be at the funeral!!! :hugs:
 
Flossie I'm very sorry for your loss :hugs:

Good luck to those ladies having scans come up.
 
So sorry for your loss, Flossie. :hugs: Your little one is going to have a wonderful guardian angel, though. :hugs:
 
I just got home from my appointment and all is well. no vaginal exam until next week. But the growth scan showed all is well, My cervix is "shrinking" but ultrasound won't tell me how effaced or dilated I am. Just that it's about 2.7cm and it used to be about 4.4cm. So Hopefully that's something lol. Her head is measuring 36w6days so basically right on, and her body is measuring 35 weeks and her femurs 35w6days. So she's kind of all over the board I guess, but her estimated weight is 5 lbs 13 oz. So I'll take it :) My dr said walk walk walk and lots of sex :haha: so hopefully we can get her moving!!!
 
Exercise ball sent me into labor with my breech baby last time! so we will be doing LOTS of bouncing! :haha:

Who else is feeling SO impatient??

Im also having a crazy amount of left hip pain :cry: I over did it with two dance classes right in a row this week and used the kinderpack (similar to the ergo) instead of my wrap the second day... TOO much pressure on my hips :cry:
 
The time has come, ladies. I'm at the hospital being induced for high blood pressure. I'm 4cm, 90% effaced, -1 station, and my water is now broken with clear fluid. Feeling lots of low back and pelvic cramping. I'll let you know when she arrives!
