39 weeks today. Still nooooo signs this baby is considering making an entrance any time soon. It's way too hot here (90+ degrees) and my feet swelling doesn't go away overnight anymore which is making stuffing them into the one pair of work "appropriate" shoes that still fit a challenge. I have zero motivation to do any work amd potentially have 10 days left before I start leave. I'm otherwise feeling pretty well, just tired.
39 weeks today and an appt tomorrow. I'm officially on maternity leave and my mom is here! My feet and ankles look like elephants at times but my blood pressure is doing well. Last week I was 3cm and 50% and I lost at least part of my plug Friday and have had some random contractions but probably just BH. Baby is officially a watermelon and I'm huge and uncomfortable.
36w4d today. I'm hoping these babies come soon. I'm super sore and tired, and just about everything exhausts me. I think I was under the silly impression that once I stopped taking the procardia I'd just jump right into contractions and be having these babies. Not so much. Saturday was my first full day off of it, and really nothing is different. Still just random BHs. We shall see what this week holds!
I'm so glad I'm allowed to be up and moving again. Holy cow, though, I didn't realize how tired it would make me. It feels rather pathetic.
All of our NB CDs are prepped and ready to go!! That's a big relief. I think I'm going to try to teach my H how to use the flats and prefolds on a teddy bear tonight. Wish me luck!
My due date is Thursday. I'm literally the size of a whale. I've gained so much the last couple weeks and trying not to dwell on it (working well you can see). The pressure down unda is so intense but It's not full blown contractions. I get shooting pains down my legs constantly that stop me in my tracks. I'm 4cm 70% as of last week. My plug is gone and I'm in full blown "waiting on you baby" mode.

36w6days today, with an induction planned for 6/21 at 39 weeks if I don't go before due to a history of mild chronic hypertension.
I literally have one appointment or another every day this week. I had an NST and a fluid check this morning at MFM, tomorrow I have an IV iron infusion (because I'm anemic -- fun fun), Wednesday I have an OB appt, Thursday I have another NST, and Friday I have another IV iron infusion.
I also have a cold. I am hoping the cold goes all the way away before baby comes. I was not dilated at all when I was checked last week, so I'm pretty sure I have some time. I'd honestly be pretty shocked if I went into labor before 6/21.
I'll be 38 weeks on Friday. I'm vomiting again numerous times a day. Sometimes it's due to acid reflux and sometimes just nausea related. I can't eat food. I can't be reclined at all to sleep at night. I can't walk or change sitting positions very well. I'm basically a miserable human being and need to have this baby.

I totally would have thought that too! Silly babies are playing with your emotions!

babyzebra, I liked but do not like your update! Hope you have this baby soon.
I'm due on Sunday. I have no illusions this baby is going anywhere any time soon, and probably not without intervention. No contractions. Tomorrow I have an appointment--after deferring two weeks worth of cervical checks, I promised my OB that I'd agree. So I look forward to being told the shop's still closed up tight.
I'm mostly highly emotional. I cry, I snap, I whine. The nursery is shaping up though! Nothing like some serious procrastination.
40 weeks and 2 days over here. Blah. I had an appointment on Friday and baby is still pretty high. If I don't go into labour by June 17, I'll be induced. I've been having some random spaced out contractions when sitting and lying down. Nothing when I'm standing, so I know labor isn't imminent. I had the same thing with DD for about a week before I went into labor with her. I'm hoping that I don't have to be induced. We have been so busy this last week, so I finally have a chance today to get some things done around the house. It's a complete disaster. I wish I wasn't so lazy and tired. I'm so excited that so many ladies are having babies around here, but I am a little jealous and feeling a little down that nothing is going on with me. I know I will eventually have him, but it just sucks being so uncomfortable and massive.
Add me to the list of "let's go baby." My due date is friday but at this point I assume I'll be sitting here doing the same thing a week from now, which is pretty disheartening. Lots of BH, but not much else indicating anything is happening. Appointment tomorrow. Unsure if I want to go near another cervix check or not. ow.
I'm 38 weeks today. I'm done work now and officially on maternity leave which has been amazing. I feel SO much better when I don't have to power through a work day. It's not even just the physical part (I'm an optometrist so it's not super demanding just a lot of standing and sitting), it was having to have my game face on and smile and talk to people all day and talk about my pregnancy to all the patients who ask that was wearing me out.
Now I feel sort of torn between wanting baby OUT NOW and wanting to enjoy the calm before everything changes. Every day i lean a little closer to being ready to be done with this whole pregnancy bit though. I get a cervical check on Monday so I'm super curious to know if there's anything going on down there lol.

39 weeks 1 day today. I also feel as though I just keep packing on the pounds at the end of this. I'm ready whenever he is.....but I don't have the feeling he will be showing up soon.

39+1 today, had an appointment earlier about 4cm and 60% effaced. Had contractions for two hours last night so hopefully that's a sign that things will start moving along. If not I'll be induced Monday. I'm just so happy I won't have to return to the OB office with a 21 month old again, not fun.
I'll be 38 weeks on Fri. I'm starting to get pretty uncomfortable. It doesn't help that DS is going through a clingy phase and wants to be carried by only me. All. The. Time. I was expecting this to happen AFTER the baby was born. I also cannot sleep. Yay.
I was doing weekly NSTs/fluid checks for slow fetal growth but my growth ultrasound on Thurs showed he had a growth spurt so I don't have to do those anymore, which is a relief. I'm so over work but plan to work until the baby comes, which could be 3 whole weeks of work. God that sounds depressing.
I was almost 3cm dilated and 80% effaced last week. I have an Ob appointment on Weds.
37 weeks. At my appointment on Friday I was still measuring 2 weeks ahead. I had a quick in room US to verify that the baby is still head down and it is. Im ready whenever this baby wants to come. I have an US and MFM appointment tomorrow and then NST and weekly OB appointment on Friday. Aside from heartburn and feeling general discomfort I am doing pretty good.
Come on June babies we're ready to meet you!!
ETA I finally asked dr about PP swimming and he said it would be fine whenever I stop bleeding. With DS I did not bleed long maybe 2 weeks. So he said to be safe wait till at least 3 weeks to give the cervix time to close up more. I was happy with with is answer because I was convinced it would be a whole summer with no swimming.
microworm DS has also been super clingy with me and I also expected this after baby but wasn't expecting it right now. It's so hard to comfortably hold and snuggle a 19 months old when9 months pregnant.

I know. I'm trying to enjoy the snuggles as long as I can sit down! But when we go for a walk or to the store and he throws a fit because he doesn't want to walk or be in the cart and only wants to be carried by me (not MH) for extended periods of time, it gets really difficult. MH has had to hold him kicking and screaming. Makes me sad but mama needs a break.

I'm two weeks post-partum and physically I feel great, like I'm itching to get out and about, exercise, see people, etc. But... my cluster feeding infant is tethered to my nipples every hour and is super-fussy. Oh well.
Baby is doing well! He's gaining weight like a champ, which makes me happy. I'm going to start going to a local new moms group meeting this week. DH goes back to work tomorrow which makes me sad. But my mom is coming for a week on Wednesday, which will hopefully be useful (I'm hoping she won't drive me too crazy).

Hey frecklesnbrains, I was wondering how things went with your mom and the birth. Wasn't she meant to be on vacation right before your due date--did you manage to dodge that on the early end?
athn64 can you cuddle in bed instead of picking her up? That is so hard glad dd2 is doing good!
Yes. And we do some. But she doesn't under why mommy can't pick her up.when she needs something. At least DH is still home and taking care of her for the most part
I'm 4 days postpartum and physically I feel great. I think this has been the least painful of the three births. My boob and nips ache. My milk is in and I'm engorged into lumps in my armpits. My nipples are blistered and cracked.
Baby is doing great. She's sleeping well (for now). She's only pooped through two outfits today. I'm trying to be patient with the big girls who love her a little too much. I need to find some activities for them to separate themselves from the baby. They really are good with her...very gentle and sweet; they just are constantly touching, kissing, hugging her...constantly!
