Totally go for a nap it's the way to go.

Walking defo gets contractions going once they are started but if you can sleep it's what you need!

Congrats eyemom and happy due date to mummytoamber.
 
I'm sure that every pregnant woman goes through it, but I just feel like he is never going to come. I know that sounds so stupid, since I'm not even 39 weeks yet, but every time I have a hint that maybe he's headed in the right direction, it stops a little bit later and I'm back at normal.

This morning, I feel normal again. It obviously varies throughout the day usually, but last night was the first night that I was not having the start of contractions throughout the night. On Monday and Tuesday nights, I was woken up both nights with them and then last night, nothing. I at least felt like my body was being productive when I was woken up in the middle of the night with pain.

I'm not desperate yet or anything. I'm not going to go into panic mode that he's not here. I know I'm being ridiculous, but with everyone that goes into labor, I feel like there's less of a chance that mine will ever come! I don't want to be like this, but after almost 10 months of pregnancy, why would he decide to come out now?!

It doesn't help that people have already started to bother me about "how I'm feeling" and "when I think he'll come" constantly.
 
Actually had a decent sleep last night. I've been propping myself up so I'm elevated on my back at night since sleeping on my right or left side hurts. Only woke up twice last night to pee. OH said I snored less last night too - thanks !

Haven't been having too many contractions either. Had two within the span of 45 minutes last night and one in the middle of the night. Think I may start doing some walking as well. Take the dog for a walk or go to the mall and walk around. OH is just paranoid if I stray too far from home while I'm by myself lol.

I do still need to get a nursing bra so maybe lll go out and get one today. Then my hospital bag is ready to go in the car. Can't believe she'll be here anytime within the next 2 weeks.
 
Congrats Dissy and eye mom!


I'm still here too! I have a week and a half until DD!

I'm feeling the same way. I get a text every day now from my mom asking how I'm feeling and so on. I don't think I should've told her I was 4 cm dilated on Tuesday. Lol. Trying to not get my hopes up that she'll come early, lol. I'm going to go with the fact that she'll be a week late so if she comes early it'll be a surprise haha.
 
I'm feeling a bit panicky and a little depressed right now, I've been having nightmares about that damn drug and them forcing me to use it. At my doc's appts my blood pressures have been really good, but when I take it at home I am getting 135-140 over high 80s and I've had a few 90s now. I think it may be due to me stopping the aspirin last week like my prenatal specialist told me to do. I have an appt with her today and I'm going to ask (beg) her to be on my side about refusing induction. My hope is that she will be comfortable with letting me wait a little longer. I just can't believe they would use a drug not FDA approved for induction, that is expressly not to be given to pregnant women and that can and does cause so many complications. How is that legal?

Oh yes, personally i dont think it gets any better as you expect #2/3/4 etc to come earlier but isnt always the case. I understand how frustrating it can be.

Were you given a sweep on tuesday? Was it only a check?

Even if she doesnt side with you it doesnt matter, its your body, baby and birth :) hope your appt goes well.

Ive had fair few bullying moments due to strep b.
 
eyemom, looking forward to hearing a crazy birth story!

Had my OB appointment yesterday, she said no change. I almost broke down and told her to schedule the damn c-section for the 17th...but I didn't. I know if I cave and get it done before my due date, I'll regret it and wonder "what if?" At least if I stick with my schedule on the 24th, I'll be 40+5 and if she hasn't come on her own by then, I'll have given it my best shot.

I think Reese is definitely doing things on her own terms, though. I swear I can almost feel her climbing further back up into my abdomen...like, NO, I'm not dropping...in fact I'll do just the opposite! I swear my bump is higher today than it has been in two weeks. Ugh.

13 days till my due date. 18 days till she's here no matter what. Time is DRAGGING.

She just checked my cervix to see how far dilated I was.
 
I think baby has dropped. My belly looks lower, and I can breathe easier. Also, it feels like the baby is in my butt! :haha:

I've been having some painful contractions in the evenings, feels like BH along with period cramps/backache. It doesn't last long, though, and on Monday my cervix was completely closed, so I don't think they're doing much.

11 days until my c-section!
 
Any of you ladies get super emotional closer to your due date. I just took a shower and bawled my eyes out for 10 minutes and can't stop. I'm assuming it's just the hormones, but man I'm feeling really down today.:cry:
