Yes! I'm so scared of sex tbh so we only do it once every like other week. It's also so uncomfortable now :(
 
Non first timers... How do I disypher between a contraction and her tumbling. She tumbles a lot and out can be painful.. when I war at the hospital on Friday they caught a few contractions while I was there.. but she was also moving a bunch at the time because I had gotten stuck with an IV...

I'm still not great at telling the difference but tightness can be an indicator. If my stomach is tight all over and I don't feel much movement from him, I count it as a contraction. If it's a tumble, some areas of my belly are still soft, and I usually feel some movement (from feet or hands).
 
Just wanted to tmi complain that I can't remember the last time I had a solid bowel movement and my boo tah tah is not happy about it
 
Dobby - That symptom had come back for me in this last month as well. I started taking liquid fiber every day and all is working well again. This is what I am using: https://www.healthdirectusa.com/Ready-Fiber-15-Fl-Oz-Taste-Free-p/2035-15oz.htm. My acid reflux is also pretty much gone since I started taking it. I was feeling good and forgot to take it a few days, and both symptoms returned, started it back up and away they went again...so pretty sure the fiber is helping and it's not just a coincidence.
 
Gagrl the thing is some of it might be contraction-like tightenings and some of it might be baby moving but real proper contractions will be unmistakable so don't worry about it honestly, you'll know when things are happening x

I'm having an emergency midwife appointment because my home birth is being threatened AGAIN because I haven't seen the doctors at THIS trust because I had to transfer so late and blah blah, starting to feel really messed about and irritated now. Thankfully this one midwife is fighting on my side but god it's so annoying! I've made my choice based on the evidence available, that should be the end of it. Grr.
 
Ooo leson ty but I mistyped lol I don't get heartburn. And I actually meant I diarrhea like 2-3x a day not constipstion. I was trying to avoid the d word but hindsight guess it sounded like I wasn't pooping hehe

Mumma wtaf I don't see why you have to jump through all these hoops to do a home birth. It's your body, your baby, that's ridiculous. Hope everything gets resolved :(. Sorry for the stress
 
Ah gotcha the word solid should have been a clue. Just projecting my own issues over here. So ready to be done. I keep talking to baby about coming some time this next week. I really don't want to go past 40, and I definitely don't want to go so long that I need to be induced.
 
Sorry you're having to jump through more hoops so late in the game mumma, I hope the appt goes okay. I'm glad you've got one midwife fighting your case though. They can't force you into anything.

I've definitely started having the looser bowels too Dobby, although maybe not quite as extreme. I'm pretty sure it started earlier with DD though and truly went on for weeks so had no indicator of how close labour was unfortunately.
 
Aww leson hang in there just a bit more. Fxed you won't have to be induced

Girly yeah I feel like it's too early for all this, pardon my French but pun intended, shit :rofl: obviously my doc isn't making much of it as I'm still on every two weeks
 
Mumma, I'm sorry! How annoying to have to deal with this when you just need to focus on your little one.

Dobby, I was having that same issue too. It's eased a little but my appetite is weird. Nothing sounds that good and I have to urge myself to eat. Could be the heat though, it's awful where I live.

My neighbor told me I should expect the baby on Saturday because of the full moon. Fingers crossed?

I'm only three days from when I went into labor with my older son. I'm thinking it's not going to happen this time. Ah well ... every baby is different.
 
I'm officially on leave today. I messaged my ob asking to push my leave off until next Monday, but she never got back to me. Without the note, I can't return to work today. I honestly don't know what to do with myself. Just bored and waiting for baby *sigh*
 
Wait why can't you go to work? You need a note to go to work? I feel like my job is the opposite like show your a** up unless you have a note saying you can't lol
 
Leson that's crazy.. we have to prove we need to be out too Dobby...

So I started this morning when I wiped loosing what I assume is pieces of my mucus plug. Although I know it can grow back.. I'm just excited that something is going on....
 
It's because I already have a note in saying my leave starts today. I needed a new note to change my date.

Glad you have some progress gag. Esp since I'm constantly reminded that first babies come late. Crossing my fingers for some sign that things are moving forward for me on Friday at my appointment other than just baby being low. I already know that! Baby reminds me every day.
 
Ooooh got it missed that. Woot for an appointment on Friday! Can't wait to hear how things are going
 
Well, apparently I had nothing to worry about with the male Dr. With my usual OB, a nurse comes in first to check my blood pressure and the baby's heartbeat and answer any questions I may have. Then the DR comes in, measures my belly that's about it. The male Dr did everything himself. He wasn't necessarily "cold". but he had a pretty poor bedside manner. And I had a question about the 5-1-1 rule and water breaking naturally and he admitted he'd only recently just heard about that rule. Um, excuse me? This is your field. This is stuff your patients are learning, why don't you know about it? Anyway, whatever. Hopefully I'll never have to deal with him again. Also, my swab came back negative and I now have my dates and times for my next 3 appts. Getting closer and closer, ladies.
 
Aww bummer he was not super friendly :(. That is odd he didn't know the meaning of 511 given it seems duch common terminology. Weird. Glad you have your appointments booked and hopefully it's your usual gyn for them all :)

Isn't it so bizarre having your final appointments booked? I have my 38w and 40w booked and it weirdos me out to think these could be my last appointments.
 
Glad the visit wasn't uncomfortable for you, pretty, though I'm sorry the doctor wasn't impressive.

Gagrlin, that's exciting!

So I had a sweep done today even though I'm still 1 cm. I know it probably won't do much, and it was really painful (apparently it hurts if you aren't at least 2 cm.), but it was worth a try. I have an ultrasound/NST scheduled in one week. My doctor said today they wouldn't want me going past 41w3d.
