Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

Welcome dolly!

Congrats sini on your healthy and dramatic baby girl :) what an entrance!
 
Congrats Sini! I am glad you both are doing well.
Girlnboots, I hope mine lo moves soon too, the heartburn is almost unbearable!
 
I also call it vagina knives. When baby presses against your cervix, its like a bolt of lightening through your lady bits. Some say its a sign of baby engaging, but what isn't at this point?

You'll know if/when you feel it.
 
I have been feeling it for quite awhile actually. I just saw tonight ppl use that phrase and was wondering if it v w was the same feeling I was having and what it meant.
 
Yup! It's a bundle of fun, that's for sure, haha.

Is anyone else's skin going crazy? My chest and face are breaking out so bad. It's worse than junior high, haha.
 
no skin break outs here...must be hormones changing for you :)

Worst night sleeping lastnight and woke up this morning with a few tightenings in the bottom of bump with period like cramps...not sure what those were!
 
Ugh lady me too! I woke up with menstrual like cramps, went to pee, which usually makes it better but it got worse. Then I became nauseous. I felt awful for awhile but eventually fell back asleep.
 
I woke up in pain last night too. I was confused about whether or not it was contractions but I don't think so. I had really intense stomach pain and around my back that felt like I really needed to go to the toilet no.2. I felt my stomach and it was hard, I can only describe it as it felt like I could just feel all of the baby. The pain lasted for about 10mins straight, and then went away :shrug: went back to sleep after.

I have no idea what to expect with contractions as I was induced last time, and I went in to fast labour after they broke my waters so I had back to back contractions for 3hrs until she was born so didnt have intervals between them or a change in intensity so I havent got a clue!

I also woke up spotty today :dohh:
 
I'm officially full term! Now begins the insanity of anticipation and the frustration and impatience that comes with every week that passes and he's not here yet. :haha:

The left side of my pelvic bone is killing me today. I tossed and turned so much last night because I would get so sore after laying on one side for even just a few minutes. Pregnancy is getting old, I'm so glad that I'm almost done. I have a very short torso, so even though baby has already dropped I still feel his feet up in my ribs, I still get heartburn, and it's still hard to breathe sometimes. I wonder how big my little man is right now.

On the bright side, our nursery is basically finished aside from a few non-urgent touch ups and it looks great! I'll get pictures of it to post soon. :D
 
Sometimes I feel so far behind you guys, like im the baby of the group. What a difference a week or 2 makes!
 
Me too murmers, i'm due the last day of Oct, feel so far behind. Everyone is ready for their babies and i feel nowhere near as ready.
 
Me too Murmers! We will be there before you know it though!
 
I'm wondering how many of us late october due dates will end up with November babies.

I feel so rough today. Have had an upset tummy for a couple of days now with clammy/faint spells, some nausea. Lots of hot flushes, and a few bouts of diarrhoea. Sorry TMI. Plus a ridiculous amount of backache. I hope this doesn't last long. I'm done feeling crap.
 
Ahhh the joys of late pregnancy, so glamorous isnt it? ;) it's crazy but as soon as baby is born you'll miss being pregnant! I really missed my bump and missed being pregnant feeling baby moving inside. It really is a special(if not pain in the ass sometimes) experience!

I bet I'll go over due if they don't plan on inducing me. The latest I can go is 7th November without intervention that will be 2 weeks over due but if I have to be induced then I guess I could have a 8-9th of November baby! I would love either an halloween baby or a bonfire night baby if I go over due.
 
At least I know the very latest for me will be the 17th October. Not to make you feel bad ladies! Although I really think my acupuncture is helping me with my other issues so I actually feel a lot more comfortable being pregnant which is nice so not in such a hurry any more. Having said that next Monday acupuncturist has said we can start to 'open the door'! And I have my sweep next Thurs so hopefully I'll have a baby by the end of next week! Exciting!
 
It it wasn't for the bad back, I would've been feeling great these past couple of weeks now baby's shifted down. I can breathe easy and have so much less heartburn. But now to get this stomach upset, I feel so weak. I don't want to eat anything. I'd quite happily curl up in a corner and sleep for weeks if I could get comfortable enough to sleep. Lol.

I'm going to talk to my MW when we go through my birth plan to see if they'll consider inducing me at 40+10 if I go over. Really don't want to think that I could be stuck until 2 weeks overdue. If they agree, it'd mean I'd be induced around the 30th October so, technically, could still end up with a November baby.
 
I know I will miss being pregnant. I wanted to be pregnant again within days of having my son I missed it so much. I am mostly comfortable now, it is only at night and the heartburn that stinks so bad. The latest I will go is 11/1 or 11/2 before I am induced due to being a vbac. The thought of 7 more weeks of crap sleep and being so uncomfortable at night sounds horrible though. I am really am trying to enjoy the rest of it. Due to Carter's size I only got to 36 weeks with him, so I am a little excited to get further and really "feel" the pregnancy and contractions and all that the end of pregnancy comes with. I am sure I will regret saying all that though!
 
At what week did you ladies who are farther along drop? I'm 33 weeks n 4 days and feel so out of breath all the time! And baby's little kicks in my ribs really hurt. >.<
