LOL! We do still have a lot to do but I think we're getting there. I feel like you never feel 100% ready. I obviously want her to cook and grow some more but physically I am ready for this to be done!
 
Hi ladies, it’s been ages since I checked in here. I read back 10 pages or so. Unique I’m so sorry for what you’ve been going through! It sounds like he definitely doesn’t have your or the kids’ best interest in mind.

I’ve been having a lot of pain this pregnancy, going to the chiropractor has helped make it manageable. The baby has a heart abnormality so I’ve been having a lot of growth ultrasounds.. they aren’t concerned though as it seems to be a “variation of normal.” However it means I can’t deliver where I wanted to and I will probably have to have continuous monitoring. :/ I will probably pack my hospital bag at 36 weeks or so. I need to get diapers, another video monitor... I think that’s about it. Already got newborn clothes out. Oh and we need to set up the cosleeper.
 
I have midwife on the 29th and I’m so intrigued to know how low baby is, my bump looks low and it feels low when I walk, all the pressure is in my foo and pelvis.

I bet it’s a pain having to keep going back and forth but you get to see bubs often :)
 
It's nice to see the baby often!! I'm carrying sooo low too. People ask me if I'm due soon because they think the baby has dropped already. When I sit down my bump rests on my thighs :haha: Probably because I have no stomach muscles anymore, idk!
 
I have like this section at the bottom of my belly which just feels like flab :haha: like nothing is in there :shrug: I guess because it’s been so stretched before. I just need to get bottles for baby which isn’t really needed until he or she is here anyway because I plan to breastfeed again. Partner is picking up the pram on Friday and brining it down on the 31st cause he’ll be here for DS birthday. I went with the Ouster 2 travel system.

I can finally say I have my scan next week! Eek. Taking the kids with me too, I’m hoping they’ll let the kids have a glimpse of the baby’s face. It’s at 8am!! :dohh:
 
How exciting. I see the midwife next on the 1st June feels like forever away x
 
34 + 1 today!
C-section is scheduled for June 19th at 38+2. I'm currently feeling extremely torn as I want it to hurry up and get here, but at the same time this is our last baby as I'm getting my tubes tied during surgery so I want it to go slow at the same time.
Stressed and worried because we got evicted from our house and are now currently staying at my father in laws small 2 bedroom trailer and my boys are not the quietest and he has to be awake at 5 am for work every day.
Hubby was laid off from work, I'm off from work on bed rest, we have no money currently, waiting on our tax money to come in so we can move. I'm hoping to be able to move before baby gets here. It would be extremely hard for me to be comfortable after surgery if we were still at FIL's.
Baby is measuring about 6 lbs now, I'm having extreme pressure on my pubic bone, getting cramps, I can barely walk between my arthritis in my hips and the SPD, my back is killing me. It's just been a miserable time.

6 lbs already??? Wow
 
How exciting!

Sorry to hear about your housing situation, I hope everything falls into place before the baby comes.
 
Eppgirl hope you don't have much pain the next 4 weeks! <3 You may be the first to have their babe!

Unique my scan this morning was at 7:45! I made my husband go into work late to stay with the kids. No way that was happening.
 
Epp I’m so sorry for the tough situation you’re in. It seems like when it rains it pours!

I feel you on the pain. I cry nightly in bed it’s so bad.
 
Eppgirl that's a lot on your plate and I'm sorry to hear so much is going on for you at this point in pregnancy. I truly do feel for you on the pain part. I've been having excruciating SPD myself. I've always told myself that when the time comes where I put my foot down and say "I can't deal with this anymore" will be the day when we stop having kids. It has come with this pregnancy. I completely understand what you mean when you say you want to be done but at the same time the longer baby cooks the better.
 
Scan tomorrow at 1145am!! Probably the last one for me.
Feeling heavily weighed down, and extremely exhausted and feeling so done. I usually love being pregnant, but i think a lot of anxiety is making me feel done.
Work, home, MIL...all the things making me feel on edge. :(
 
I'm scared, ladies. I've been having BH all day today. I tried a warm bath, drinking lots of water, resting and they still keep coming. Not regular like labor contractions but more than the typical amount. They ramped up after an argument with my dad when he stopped by unannounced and my DH told him that I wasn't home. He wanted to check on me to make sure DH wasn't lying and it upset me that he doesn't trust my DH after 6 years of marriage. I told him that I was out getting supplies to start working on the nursery. My dad thinks that just because I'm a SAHM means that I'm always home sitting on my bum. Then he tried to argue that I should be home with the kids and DH should be working on the nursery.
:saywhat:

I've found men don't get into that sort of thing as much as we do so I don't blame him, plus after being with the kids all day, I was ready to have some alone time. I actually enjoy fixing up the nursery and getting a break from the kids. When I tried to explain this to my dad, he just blew up. He is always trying to come up with a reason to argue anymore and has been like this since I found out I was pregnant again. Needless to say, it has caused a lot more stress on me than needed. He could be helping me out but instead he just adds to the problem.

Anyways, I still keep getting them and even started losing some mucus, which really freaked me out. It's not bloody and it's not a ton but between the BH and mucus is how my labors typically start. I'm not sure what else to do to de-stress so that I don't go into preterm labor again. I know a part of the reason why I feel this way is because I keep thinking about my argument with my dad and all the bad things he said to me. I don't have any other support. My parents are all I have. My mother stands beside my dad no matter what and my DH's family live out of state.
 
I am so sorry lilmiss...that argument with your dad sounds awful. Are you able to tell him how his words affected you? I can't imagine a father willfully trying to hurt his daughter that way. And be honest that you are worried for pre-term labour. How terrible. Please know we are here for you <3
 
Ughhh feeling so heavy today, I struggled to walk on the school runs. Its so hard to guess what position the baby is in at the moment because its forever changing. Looking forward to midwife next week so she can tell me lol
 
I feel so heavy at the end of everyday, like I can't possibly stretch anymore but I know I will, which is crazy!
