Anyone want a late bump buddy?

[daisydaisy83]

I've had some mucus discharge over the past couple of days, not sure if it's bits of my plug but it's how people describe just in small amounts. I've been out and about today and had lots of braxton hicks and lots of baby movement... now just dull menstrual type pain.

 

[OliviaRae]

Ooo nice, daisy! Maybe that means things will start happening soon!
I'm jealous- I want to lose my plug Come on, give me something!

I keep getting those sharp pains in my bum and cervix. I can also tell that he has dropped even more. I try to spend atleast 90 minutes a day on my ball, so hopefully when I see my OB on Tuesday, I''ve progressed even just a little. Right now, I'm just lying in bed, I let my husband know, not to expect anything of me for the rest of the day.

Oooh that's a good sign Daisy!!

I haven't noticed anymore mucus discharge today but I have been having the odd the contraction here and there. A bad one woke me up last night, the pain went right around my back and down into my groin and thighs. Lasted about a minute but felt like forever! Then I got a few BH in a row right after, so I was awake from 2-5am Not feeling great today, I did have some leaking this morning but nothing since....

Hope everyone's well and are having a good weekend so far!

I had lost my plug by 38 weeks with both our other two, and I never knew until my OB told me it was gone. I have no idea how I missed it? I'm kindof hoping I see it this time.

 

[Leinzlove]

Eeeek... So exciting ladies. Sounds like babies will be arriving soon.

 

[mommyB]

Does anyone else go to bed at night and wonder, 'is this my night?' I don't remember being like this with my first.

Yeah I do haha

 

[Leinzlove]

I don't lol. I feel like it'll never be my night.

 

[mjvdec01]

I feel like this will never end. I am so hopeful that I'm just primed a bit, so I can have my induction on the 20th. Right now, that's all I think about, morning, noon and night. With the kids, I rarely get a break, and I end up feeling sorry for myself every day. If my husband gets home in time in the evenings, he takes over. On the weekends he does more than his share, but all I want to do is sleep away the next two weeks. You ladies know, parts of late pregnancy really suck. I just want my sweet baby boy, and to heal, and get into real clothes again.

 

[Leinzlove]

Oh yes, I know the feeling. Happy full term hun!

 

[mommyB]

Oh yes!! I can't wait to get back into my skinny jeans and I just bought this super cute blouse!! I will admit I will miss the bump but at this stage not so much! I loved my bump during the 20-30 weeks because it was perfect size, now I feel like I'm lugging my belly around And I just more than ever want to meet my little guy and see what he looks like! We're almost there ladies!! We can do it!!

 

[daisydaisy83]

Just had my 37 week midwife apointment - LO is 3/5 engaged and I've definitely lost some of my plug! Midwife thinks she might be a bit early and guesses 6.5 - 7 lb for birth weight.

I've had a burst of nesting energy!
How's everyone else doing?

 

[OliviaRae]

Sounds wonderful, Daisy!!

I am a little gutted.... had my OB appt this morning and he said no changes in cervix I know some ladies don't dilate at all until they're in labor I was just hoping for something! Oh well. Hopefully this week things will start picking up! If not, I know she'll be here on the 24 :woohoo:

Hope every one has a good week!

 

[mommyB]

Don't worry...nothing much happening here either I've been having really bad cramps since yesterday and I'm super exhausted today. Getting DS down for a nap right now and I desperately need a shower but I have no energy!! But I know if I didn't shower and I did go into labour over night I would be mad that I didn't

I have a feeling I'm going to have him at 39 weeks....so next week. That's my prediction for myself

 

[Leinzlove]

Daisy: Super exciting! Yay for things going on.

Olivia: Doesn't mean anything. Things can happen so quickly.

MommyB: You never know. I can't stay out of the shower it makes me feel so much better.

AFM: I'm scheduled for induction next Monday Jan. 14 @ 4pm (US Eastern). So, baby will be here that night or the next day. I have to be there at 3:15pm to set up my room. I'm so excited!

 

[mommyB]

Oooh so exciting Leinzlove!!! I've never been induced before so I don't know how long the process takes but I hope it happens quickly and you have your little girl in your arms

 

[OliviaRae]

Leinzlove: that's so exciting! Were you induced with your other LO too?

MommyB: Sounds like a good time to go! I have no energy either. Does any one feel so tired after a shower? Haha I'd rather take a bath, makes my back/hips feel so much better

 

[mommyB]

I have problems getting back up out of the bath.....not something I want to do when DH is not home

But I did have my shower and feel so much better! And yes a little sleepy!

 

[Leinzlove]

I never want the water to go cold. I've been trying to think of how it feels down there. It's like the ache of a big bruise.

Anyways, I was induced with DD also. I had gestational hypertension from 34 weeks and 2-3 NST's every week until 39 week induction. With her the process lasted 12 hours. This time I don't know as my body has started preparing etc. With DD I was completely tight and closed.
