Looking forward to not having to pee every 5 minutes, not being in constant pelvic pain, wine and having my own internal space!!!!
----------------------------
I am so irritable today. I'm snappy and mean :haha:
I don't know how my husband survives
 
Looking forward to cuddling both my boys, to red wine & blue cheese, to free movement, to my OH's vasectomy once baby is born (I can go through labour, so he can do that...he's terrified), build up a healthy sex life again without birth control, enjoy the summer, breathe freely.
 
I'm looking forward to walking again without wincing in pain, being able to breathe properly again without a restricted diaphragm, being able to roll over in bed, being able to drive again as right now I can't fit behind the steering wheel, being able to take my two year old to the park again without feeling like I'm going to collapse, and finally I'm looking forward to a HUGE and well deserved glass of bubbles! (or two) :wine:
 
4:30am wake up call this morning from threenager who has started to decide that every night at this exact time he wants to sleep with us - he's never ever been one to sleep in our bed unless ill.

He then proceeds to mess about for an hour or so before we get annoyed and he goes back upstairs, cue crying and more stress. Anyone else's older child/children starting to struggle with sleep? Is this just coincidence or part of the whole baby/stamp feet/control thing?
 
Can't wait to be out of maternity clothes. So bored of them now. I'm still able to wear heels without suffering but boots are taking some effort to get on and off, just because bump gets in the way. Thankfully haven't had spd etc. I've missed certain foods and definitely can't wait to enjoy wine again.

I have a ball also. I used it occasionally. Find if I have a day lazing around the house it's good to use to get a change of position. It's also helped get baby head down although he still wriggles about so he doesn't stay that way. I'll need to start using it more often.

Is there anything you'll miss when no longer pregnant? I've always been small busted so have enjoyed being bigger and am a little worried they'll disappear again. Certainly felt more body confident since they came along.

Yes ill miss my boobs.. once i stop breast feeding they deflate back to a small B cup. Im actually getting a boob job next year though :)
 
I'm looking forward to not being in constant pain! Being able to walk without the pressure and needing to wee. Being able to exercise again. A glass of red wine.

Full term today, I see the light!! xx
 
I'm jealous of you 37 weekers! 2 more weeks for me and then with any luck I can get this baby out. She will probably be mean and make me wait but I have hope :haha:
--------------------------------------
My son is also very clingy and temperamental lately. The closer we get to birth, the more he acts out or clings. I think they just know that change is coming. :) Not any less frustrating though. I love him but it gets exhausting quick.
-------------------------------------
So the baby expo sale that I have been looking forward to is in 2 days on Friday. My mother has decided to cancel on me last minute. This means that my husband and son have to come along instead because I cannot physically haul my expected loot by myself. Getting a swing, bouncer and clothes for both my son and baby. Plus any other bits that I find. I'm really miffed and it will be a lot harder now.
 
Happy full term dani tinks

Im to jelous ;)

Im in agony with pressure down below sitting hurts !!

Back to midwife tommorow for another bp check..
Im debating whether they will sign me off as work is very stressfull at the moment and not sure its the best thing to do and work another 4 weeks..
Ill see wat mw says

Hi ladies! Mind if I join?

My c section is scheduled for 4/18 and I wish I could fast forward time until then!

I'm looking forward to having an ice cold beer once baby is out! We moved to Seattle last year and west coast beer is so much better than east coast beer - oh, how I've missed it! :)

Can't wait to start the labor watch with everyone. I'm jealous of all the 37 weekers!
 
Welcome hal !! Not long until ur section aleast u av a end date :)
 
WEl come Hal, I lived in Seattle a bit, it's a great city except for the rain ;) love the market!
 
Welcome! You are so lucky to know exactly when your baby will arrive!
It's a waiting game for the rest of us :haha:
-------------------------------
I can't imagine working emma so you are a trooper!
I can hardly take care of the house and my son let alone other things.
Maybe your midwife will be kind and give you a reason to relax :hugs:
-------------------------------
Honestly, I am so tired, exhausted and in so much pain that I would take another induction if they offered it. As of right now though, I am healthy with normal blood pressure and no complications so I'm stuck waiting *pouts* :rofl: All of today my husband has been saying, "Just 5 more weeks!" "2 more!" "Fiiiive!"

What a butt :haha: He likes to tease but I know he'd be helpless if he could feel what I can.
 
Thanks everyone!

All of our family is still back east so scheduling a c section is easiest so my mom can be here to watch my daughter while I'm in the hospital.

Sweettart - was your first early or did you go overdue? The last few weeks of being in pain and just hoping something would start are the absolute worst!

Cornfieldland - did you live in the city? We like it here so far and thankfully the rainy part of the season is ending. The market is awesome - I walk right by it every day on my way to work. Getting harder to do now though because baby is really low and I get constant lightning crotch - makes me stop in my tracks and squeeze my legs together. Anyone else having this?
 
Today I've been in excruciating pain starting this morning whilst driving my son to nursery. Driving was making it even worse, it's this weird pressure pain down low and in my back. Any baby movement it makes it seem like my bones are splitting? I don't know how else to describe it but it's horrendous and he feels really low! When I stand it seems to ease a bit but sitting down makes it worse. Laying on my side seems to be helping :/
 
With my son I had high blood pressure and I was having panic attacks which was elevating his heartbeat. They wanted to induce at 39 weeks but I was silly and scared. I agreed to the induction at 40 weeks because I was worried and didn't want to be selfish should anything bad happen because I wouldn't listen. It went well and both of us were relieved. I've been focusing on "letting go" in terms of control this time and doing my best to just relax and take it easy. :)
---------------------------
I am dealing with severe spd and I have lightning crotch pretty often. I moved too fast to get a baking pan last night and the shock was so bad that it felt as if she was going to burst out. :( You are not alone!
 
Welcome hal!


Omg girls, so i know all i seem to be doing is complaining but i have no one else to vent to, hubby just doesn't really seem to care or believe how much pain and discomfort im in.
Sciatic nerve pain went away for a few days but came back 100x worse last night, i can hardly walk. The pain is making me nauseated, i had the heat pack as hot as i could stand it last night and it eased it slightly but once it started to cool it had little effect. Nesting has hit and i can't do anything! Ive finally got both mine and bubs bags packed, i tried to clear out a tall boy in my big boys rooms and couldn't stand long enough to get it all done. Its driving me nuts :cry: im just so, so miserable and i know there's not long to go but i just need this baby to be ready to arrive.
 
Hi ladies...

Can I join? My edd is 18/4... As much as I like the freedom of only having my dd, I can't wait to finish being pregnant already.. Argh, especially with the recent (very unseasonal) heat and humidity, I'm soo uncomfortable, constantly sweating like a pig.

I'm planning to work till 37 weeks and so far I haven't done anything to prepare for bub... We bought a new wardrobe from ikea for dd so bub will have her tall boy, but we haven't even put the wardrobe together and haven't touched her current tall boy�� On this note, I am hoping bub stays in my tummy so will give me time to sort things out lol
