Nariah- Any more pains? I don't know when you posted that because I was asleep for four hours again. I have that type of pain when we drive now. It is horrible. It's so hard to differentiate aches and pains as normal or something we should watch.

Want-Could it be your plug starting to break apart and come out? That happens. Sometimes it just starts coming out in pieces and not all at once. At this stage in pregnancy it could be completely normal. Are you sure it's related to the exam? I personally only had discharge on the day of my exams and nothing after for the last two weeks (after all my bleeding and stuff stopped). No more mucus plug loss or anything. What kind of discharge is it? It's funny what I don't find TMI, haha.
 
Want - I'm with whittnie...think by this time it's perfectly normal to have that much discharge with or without an internal exam. I've only been checked once, 2 weeks ago, and have it. Tbh, I've always had a bunch. As long as it isn't anything funky that's a sign of infection, I'd just not worry. It's one other yucky thing we ladies must endure unfortunately.

Whittnie - I don't find anything tmi either. I'm gross lol
 
Yeah I don't find most things gross or tmi either. But I have always been like that, product of working with animals I suppose, used to all sorts of gross things. lol

well the pain went away after a while. I did have some bad gas so I think it was probably making the pain worse. Then I took a nap and other then the usual soreness that comes with being heavily prego I feel better. I haven't had an internal exam yet, when do they start doing those normally?
 
TMI doesn't bother me at all either (being a nurse, I think I've seen or heard it all)

I know it was from the exam because the medicine they placed on my cervix made it weird. It wasn't like regular discharge. It was like skin or wadded up wet paper... Blah. It was golf ball size and brown like old blood. Didn't have a smell or anything. I didn't have anymore. Hopefully it was the last of it. I have my next appt on Wednesday. I will talk to the doc about it more on then.

I think I just over did yesterday. I tried to junp up and sit on the counter...... Hahahha ha! I couldn't get my butt up at all, I didn't have a problem doing that 3 weeks ago! I feel like a lame horse. I'm starting to get tired of being pregnant. I want to meet my guy and start my new chapter.

Everyone else whos still preggers with me on that feeling ???
 
want I am right there with you on ready to be done with this whole preggers business. Congrats on being term as well! :hugs:
 
Want - ohhh i know what discharge you're talking about. It looks like a piece of thin membrane. I have that too. I took a bath the other night and I actually saw several of those floating around. Then immediately, I got out. I got grossed out by what comes out of my vagina during pregnancy lol. Oh and I know what you are talking about, being tired of this pregnancy now. Like last night, I was just lying in bed with dd, and I had that feeling. But it turned to anger and frustration. At myself for getting pregnant so soon even though it was on the pill. Angry at OH for causing it lol. Mad that I can't even fart without my boy pushing against the way, blocking my fart. I. Am. DONE. Done, done, done! I'm going mental!

Congrats to you too for reaching term! Woohoo! We're that much closer to holding our baby!
 
Thank god it's only a few more weeks for the rest of us. I'm starting to get jealous!
 
Alchemist: yeah, it's more like that (the discharge). I look into more because I had some more today and really think its the Monsels solutions. I'm pissed and ready for it to stop.
 
Sorry ladies, I haven't kept up today. I just feel blah, not sick or anything, just blah. I'll comment tomorrow. I just wanted to say that I m 37 weeks today and I feel so relieved. I feel like I reached a huge milestone and I can relax even more now. My doctor didn't think I would make it to 34 weeks and then she didn't think I'd make it to 36 weeks. I am just so happy. I'd like him to stay cooking for another 2 weeks or so, but now I just feel like he can come when he wants. It's labor countdown now. Congrats to you Alchemist and Want for hitting early term too!

Congrats to you too! I was reading on fb that want is currently in labor! How exciting! Think it'll be a baby a week? Omg, how much more longer do I have to wait? Lol I'm just like, not only done with it, but I'm fed up with pregnancy. Grrr....I got up to pee all throughout the night, it was horrible. I could probably sleep through it but my boy kept kicking my bladder and nudging at it. How are you ladies feeling now that we're all pretty much ready to pop baby into the world and anything can happen now?
 
Whit: Congrats on making it this far! You deserve a blah day to just relax. :thumbup:

Alchemist: How exciting, hopefully everything goes well for want and her baby arrives safe and sound. Since I am not on fb can you update when you can on here? If not that's fine, I will just wait until she does after hes born.

I am so ready to be done being pregnant. seems like these days something always hurts or is sore, I have to pee all the time, and I can't get anything done or do anything because I either hurt or am too big and unbalanced now. I know it will be hard and a lot of work, and everyone says to enjoy this time while it lasts because this is the easy part, but I think I would rather take my chances with the newborn! At least then I have my body back. :haha:
 
Nariah, I won't forget about youuuu! I'll make sure I update here and FB like I do now.
I feel you on wanting to take your chances with a newborn. I do too. I am scared as heck, but I feel like my body needs to heal like RIGHT NOW. I feel that if I had more control over my body that I'd be able to handle a newborn. Being in pain all the time sucks.

Alchemist-It is really exciting that want went into labor. It makes things more real that our labor is more imminent since we were due in the same three days. It seems we, as a group, are going into labor once every 3-4 days or so. So who knows! I feel like I am going to be pregnant for another two weeks. We will see.

As far as how I am feeling. Emotionally I am really happy to be still pregnant. I am excited to meet my little man and I can't wait for him to be born so I can hold him and love him and start the healing process. Physically though, I am exhausted. I am sleeping about 12 hours a day this last week, but in 3-4 hour blocks of time. My pain level is really high and my hips feel like they are about to explode. Walking is getting harder. I am just in a constant cycle of pain, but it's okay. I just keep telling myself that I only have a couple more weeks. That's it...A couple more weeks. It seemed so much less bearable a few weeks ago that I'd get through it.

As for peeing in the night. I get up every 2 hours or so needing to pee because it hurts so bad. I think that the babies feel that the bladder is engorged and it's pushing on their domain, so they must make it go away. LOL..
 
The peeing towards the end is horrible! After Devyn arrived I thought I wasn't having the feeling of needing to pee but then I realized I was just not used to being able to let my bladder fill up for a while before needing to go :haha:
 
Nariah and whittnie - I know exactly how you're feeling with the peeing and the pelvic pain. I hate to say it's why I don't enjoy MY pregnancy.

As for me, I'm getting the version done this Thursday. Dr said to prepare for some discomfort and/or pain. He also said it may or may not work. However, he said the chances are slightly higher to work for those who have given birth before. So! Here's to a heads down baby boy! I'm optimistic but also accepting it if it doesn't work.
 
Luna- I look forward to not having to pee all the time. When I am awake, I have to go at LEAST once an hour and that's if I don't stand up that entire time. If I stand up, I have to pee. Sometimes I go, then stand up from the toilet and have to go again. It's ridiculous.

Alchemist- I hope the version works for you. I've seen that done on maternity ward (the show on Discovery health). I do not envy you on that one. I hope it doesn't hurt too much and that he stays head down.

I have a growth scan today. It's so that my doctor can see if the baby is growing okay or if he is too big. He was 3.5 lbs at just under 30 weeks, 5.5 lbs at a 33 week scan, so she is worried he is huge. I am not as worried, I think the scans were relatively accurate since I always thought he'd be a big baby. When she compared my uterus measurements she noted that I had jumped three weeks from the previous week. I just think she didn't take the first one right. We will see!

At this point if she sends me for a gestational diabetes test (my appointment with her is on Wednesday) I don't think there is much that can be done? I mean, I'll be giving birth here soon and if it goes how I feel it will, he'll be here in two weeks. Barely enough time to get the results back (it takes about a week). So I dunno! I'll update in a bit after my appointment, which is at 2:30.
 
Update from my ultrasound. Baby is measuring 7.5 lbs. He is going to be a big baby if I go full term, lol. Other than that, everything looks good. I'll know if my doctor wants me to do another GD test on Wednesday.
 
Nariah - my OH is going to hate you tomorrow when I whine to him about how good your OH is being!

What is everyone going early??

They have scheduled me for induction on Thursday. Slightly stressed about that. I really didn't want to be induced but my dr is adament we should because of my blod pressure issues. And honestly part of me is ready to have her out and get back to being more normal. Being stuck down os sucky.

I hear so many people talk about how close they feel with baby while they are still pregnant and I am just not sure I feel like that. I mean I feel her. I know she is on there but it all still feels a little surreal that a little girl is coming this week.
 
Right?! I've noticed that too, some are going early well before edd. In a way, I would like for their early birth fairy dust to be sprinkled on me, that's IF the version works. Pleeeeeeeease!

And whittnie, hope your gd test comes out normal. Some women get told they'll be having a large baby but then birth a 6 or 7lb lol. So...I wouldn't put my heart on their estimate for now.
 
Whit: I agree with Alchemist on the whole weight thing. I've heard of people being induced or having a section early because they are worried about the weight and the baby was actually much smaller then predicted. But hope all goes well with your GD test.

Cowgirl: lol I don't mind being hated if it means your OH will step up and treat you better during this whole deal. :thumbup: My DH figures I am carrying and making our child, then I have to push this baby out of my vagina, so he might as well help me out by trying to make me feel better when he can.

I am so ready to be done feeling crummy though. Part of me is kind of scared because I know I still have so much to do before he gets here. But another part of me and I think its the larger part says to hell with it I want him out NOW! :haha:
Like today we were outside cleaning the horses paddock(it was pretty bad we let it go for too long) and I was only able to help for about half before my back started to hurt and the pressure on my pelvis was too much and I had to sit down. I was sooo grumpy about it, and DH was like go inside and let me finish, its not worth you overdoing it to try and help. I just told him he could suck it and that I was at least going to man the gate for the tractor or supervise. :haha: I hate not being able to do stuff.

Man so many of our group are having babies, I would say we are almost to half way mark as far as how many of us have already had their LO. Makes me wonder who is going to go next. I never thought want would go so soon.
