Krissie - FX it's just hormones.

Heike - How soon before labor does the plug usually come out? I'm so excited you're almost there!

Jess, i think it's pretty much the same as anything during pregnancy - it varies a lot haha some go into labor immediately but from what i've read it's usually within a week of losing the plug.

Nothing happening yet though. I keep losing more bits of plug though i think.

I am definitely full blown nesting though. Spending my time cleaning and DIYing bows and headbands for her 😍

I have heard with the plug you can actually lose it and it can/may regenerate. It can be lost several times. I love the headbands, so adorable!

K I'm done testing, I still have more but no reason anymore haha the cheapie is as dark as the day after my 10,000 unit trigger. Save em for the next friend I have who thinks she is preggo

Beautiful Shan!

Oh gosh shan those are beautiful lines!! You are definitely pregnant!

Yeah it can regenerate, and i've lost tiny bits for weeks but what i lost was a really big chunk and i've lost more chunks (not as big as the first one though) since. Can it really regenerate even after losing so much of it?

I know i shouldn't get my hopes up too high that i'll go into labor soon.. i just want her here already there is zero patience left haha

And i guess i was in a zone yesterday i think they are so cute i can't wait to see little Mariella wear them

Shan - Those are some of the most BEAUTIFUL lines I have seen! You are DEFINITELY pregnant!

Heike - those bows are adorable!! I am not even remotely that creative.

 

[krissie328]

Heike- those are adorable! I'm gonna have to have you make me some if we have a little girl.

11 pm here
Just read through the past posts.
Looking forward to more news

I had my last classes today. Exams on Sunday and Monday. After that I'll just have marking to do and then I'm basically free of responsibilities while at work.

Restless leg syndrome is driving me nuts these past few days. I got rls before pregnancy, but it would go away when I went to lay in bed. Had it in first tri...not at all in second tri...now it seems to never go away in the evenings unless I'm upright.

I'm running out of things to wear at this point. I've only bought 2 maternity tees and 1 tank top...no bottoms. A lot of my pre pregnancy clothes were still okay (other than jeans). Broke down and bought a pair of pajamas today...couldn't handle the waistband on my pj bottoms anymore. I've gained almost 7 kilo during this pregnancy and it seems every bit of it is in my belly.

My apartment is a mess, but I just don't have the energy to complete more than 1 or 2 tasks after work these days.

Anyone have any hospital bag must have suggestions?

Hi ladies!

Sam - Sounds nice to have your exams coming up and then no responsibilities at work! What do you do after exams are done? Do students still come to school? I'm interested in how your system works.

So sorry about the RLS! I had read a couple times that RLS is a common pregnancy symptom, but I had never heard of anyone who had to deal with it.

I actually started wearing DH's pajama bottoms I couldn't handle dealing with the wastband on mine either!

Heike there have been other ladies in my moms group that have lost big chunks several times but they were usually earlier like 33-34 weeks...since you are farther it could be different. She needs to hurry up if my guess of before Tuesday is going to be right!

Sam that's exciting to be finishing up with things at school!

Krissie how are things for you??

 

[krissie328]

Af is due today and bfn. But no period either. My temp dropped to the coverline yesterday so I suspect af is just taking her time.

 

[todmommy4568]

I'm sorry

Yeah i do think you're right. I've been losing more plug but none of the chunks had any blood in it except the very first.
I have been getting some light cramping/lower back ache and pressure but i doubt it'll turn into real labor soon. I need to be patient and give her all the time she needs to bake to perfection (especially considering that according to my doctor she's quite small. Not alarmingly small like something's wrong, just a small little lady, but the chunkier she can get before birth, the better i guess)
I'm just really not known for my patience..

Krissie, i'm sorry

 

[Angel5000]

So Sorry Krissie.

Heike — I forgot to mention how adorable those bows are. Super sweet. — Sending you some vibes of patience God willing she will come at exactly the right time

Jess — I work in an English department at an institute that provides a 1 year program for 1st year university students. (4 levels — 8 week sessions) We are just finishing the first 8 week session. I just gave my last exams today. Hooray! Anyways, the other teachers will have a week break and then they will start classes again for another 8 week session. They haven’t put me on the schedule to teach because I could end up having to leave at anytime and it is better for the students to have the same teacher for all 8 weeks, instead of having to switch . — The RLS…ugh…I actually started wearing a pair of compression socks just to get to sleep. When I wake up I take them off and continue sleeping, haha.

Shan — It has been a crazy second half of the session. I’m just looking forward to not having so much prep work to do.

Krissie — sorry to see your update about the bfn and temp drop

I’ve been having moments of pretty extreme tightening in my belly since the second trimester. A couple of weeks ago I started to get the tightening with pain in my belly and in my back. I don’t really know if they are contractions or what… They are not consistent. I get them anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day at random times. Today I had it happen 3 times while at work. 10:30 am / 11:30 am and then around 1:15 pm. I’m thinking to call my doctor to ask about it. I didn’t mention anything during my last appointment a few days ago because I just figured it is normal.

 

[krissie328]

Sam- sounds like Braxton Hicks to me.

Heike- hoping all is well with you.

Afm, af arrived yesterday afternoon. I'm feeling better now. I've decided to switch back to clomid since it's worked twice for me. I feel like it works better for my body. I'm also going to throw in black cohosh cd 2-12.

Krissie - Best wishes for this cycle ❤️ -- I thought they might be Braxton hicks which is why I didn't mention anything to the doctor, but today when a colleague saw me and asked what's up she said "Those are contractions". Did you have BH contractions with pain?

 

[krissie328]

I only had a few and none with pain just the tightening. But it's possible to have contractions at your gestation that aren't actually doing anything. False labor is pretty common from what I understand.

Thanks, Krissie ❤️❤️����

Thanks for asking, i'm still very much pregnant haha I've been bouncing on my birthing ball a lot and it does feel like i have more pressure and feel a bit more achey but i think that may just be her dropping further. I don't think I've had any real contractions yet, except lots of BH but without any pain.

Have my next appointment tomorrow and I'm very curious to see if i've progressed any further. But yay, 37 weeks today so i'll definitely have a term baby

I'm glad you're okay krissie and I'm having everything crossed for this Clomid Cycle!
