Everything is swollen and nothing fits. I just walk around in the few scraps of clothing that I can still stretch across my belly. Appt on Friday.
A friend is throwing me a tiny tea/baby shower this afternoon, which is really sweet. Other than that, just trying to get work done and clean the house before he arrives.
I think baby dropped lower a few days ago, so that's progress! However, I've had zero BH since last week and really don't get the feeling that he's eager to make any moves.
39 weeks 4 days. Feeling uncomfortable, tired and I woke up this morning knowing that this baby isn't coming for a while. I feel discouraged and I just want to sleep all day.
Add me to the nothing fits club. I keep wearing the same few outfits over and over again. I have a wedding to go to on Saturday. I'll be 40 weeks. I won't be dressed too fancy and I'll be grumpy, but my whole family is going to be there. If it was a friend's wedding, I would just skip it. We definitely won't be staying too long and thankfully it's in town.
I have an appointment on Friday and I have one already booked for next Thursday because I will most likely make it until then. I'm sure at that appointment we will be discussing induction and what not.
36 weeks with b/g twins. Feeling really good right now, although I caught a little cold from my daughter so hopefully I can kick that before labor starts!
Had an appointment yesterday and scheduled my last one for next week! After that we pick a date for induction. Really hoping these babies decide to come on their own next week. Either way I am getting so excited to meet them. I love the whole labor process so I'm feeling really excited for all the things to come. Not a fan of the postpartum phase but I'm just trying not to think about that too much! With two babies, I have no idea what to expect other than that it'll probably be hard.
I'm getting nervous for how small these babies will probably be, my son was 8lbs and my daughter was 9... So I don't really know what to do with small babies! These kids are measuring about 5 1/2 lbs right now so we'll see. Fingers cross for some middle 6 - 7 lb babies!
36wk5d. Just had my weekly NST and everything looked great. I'll have a growth scan tomorrow. They are monitoring me with NSTs, growth scans, and fluid checks because the baby is measuring small.
Dr checked me and said I'm almost 3 cm dilated and almost completely effaced. Also, the baby's head is really low, putting lots of pressure on my cervix. He thinks I'll go early and really fast. I'm taking it with a grain of salt because this happened last time and I was in labor for 12 hrs. But he was concerned because I live 30 min from the hospital and have to secure care for DS. Do not want a car baby and I need that epidural.
I am 8 days post partum. I am feeling exceptionally good. I guess when you don't have a million complications with recovery your body does things right. I struggled with the tears for the first few days but that is easing up. I hate to say this because I might jinx myself but I don't know what to do with myself. DD1 is in school and DD2 sleeps all day. I need something more to do!

37 weeks 5 days. I am happy to make it to June but I am really uncomfortable. I am now experiencing lower back pain which is new to me. I did not have any back pains during my last pregnancy. It's not awesome.
I have a regular OB appointment on Friday. I declined the last cervical check and I am on the fence about it for my upcoming appointment. Part of me does not want to know because it may be one more thing for me to obsess about.
Those of us with inside babies...we are almost there!
