I seem to have a decent amount of contractions every few days. They happen daily but some of them I just don't feel. I had a few during the NST and couldn't feel most of them. lol Started to lose my mucus plug. Dilated 2cm BMs have changed. Wyatt has been head down and dropped completely now! NP was able to feel the pressure of his head on my cervix Wednesday.
The lady who did my NST doesn't think I will make it to my due date and she is quite sure they won't let me go past it with GD.
Really hoping he comes very soon after the 28th. lol
I'm having contractions but they are most likely Braxton hicks. He seems to have dropped a little and there is more pressure on my pelvis. He is still moving a ton and I don't think he is engaged. Yesterday I was not dilated but 50% effaced. I'm guessing he is at least 10 days away.
38 + 5 here and I got nothin. Just your basic body getting ready to have a baby at some point. I actually feel really great today. Mil isn't coming til next weekend to watch DD so it's be helpful if baby boy can wait.
I've been having bh and some period-like cramping every day, as well as a lot of pressure in my pelvis and sharp pains in my cervix (or what I'm pretty sure is my cervix). Anytime the pain hits it makes me catch my breath and stop whatever I'm doing. He's been head down for weeks now and low, but I feel like recently he's even more low. I'm hoping to have an internal check today at my appointment to see if anything has started happening. Just about everyone (including myself) doesn't think I'll be making it to the 20th, I'm really hoping they're all right!

Normal end of pregnancy stuff getting more uncomfortable everyday Braxton hicks and some cramps. 37 + 1 today and i am planning on attending my cousins wedding tomorrow 4 hrs away. Baby can come anytime after this weekend. I am going to pack my overnight bag for tomorrow with hospital stuff just to make sure labor isn't starting this weekend. Then starting monday i have a ton of walking to do at work so that may help baby come out before the 14th.
According to OB as of yesterday (37 weeks) I am a "loose" 2 cm, 50% effaced, and the baby is low and in position. We are inducing on July 8th (39w1d) due to my hypertension background. I am really hoping that she comes by end of next week.
I had contractions (possibly BH - I can't tell the difference) all day Tuesday - some even as close as 4 minutes apart but they were not super intense so I just went to bed haha. Now they have only been sporatic here and there.

I have BH basically all day, every day, and I was 1 cm dilated as of Monday. That said, I will eat my hat if I go into labor before my due date though. Hell, I'd even be surprised if I went into labor before 41 weeks. I'm planning on setting my induction for July 22, I'll be 40+6.

I think I'm one of the few who is sure she will go past her due date. I'm 35 weeks and predict I have 5-6 weeks left. Feel off, but I think a good poop would solve that!
I'm super stressed about this. I'm 35 weeks. I had K at 37. Everyone says I've dropped. We have no name. Nothing is prepared. I'm in hardcore denial over here. I'm basically cramping every day and I'm pretty sure the mucous plug is done. I'm torn between wanting to go full term and wanting to be done.

I'm only 35 weeks, which I know means he could still come but I'm trying to mentally prepare for even an August baby (due date is 7/28). Crotch feels like its being pounded by a nutcracker and I have some contractions but almost all are BH.
My sister and I were talking this week and we both remember feeling stoned right before labor, for lack of a better word. Like the day before I had DD, I slept 14 hours or something and just wandered around in a daze. My memories are hazy and drug like. So if you feel that, it might be just about time!

TheTuna15 I feel you. We don't have a name. I just last night organized the baby clothes into piles on the floor. We don't have dresser yet. We have some diapers but really I should have so much more done. I realistically need all of the twenty days I have left, if he comes early it will be okay i am sure we can call him dude for a while and grab onsies and diapers off the floor. And live in an unclean unorganized house.

BH all the time, but that's been happening since 20 weeks. 36 weeks tomorrow. And I've had tons of spotting, which my OB said she's not concerned about, so I've just ignored it. We're away on vacation next week so it would be great if dude could stay put until the 11th, but we've got plans if he decides to come while we're away.

I am 35 weeks as of tomorrow and I think this guy will stay in until I am induced at 39 weeks. I have had very few, if any, BH. I don't recall ever having any BH or anything with L either. Maybe I just don't feel them? Either way, I am not close but with the way my body is feeling I wish I were closer.
Sooo I'm totally the FTM that doesn't have a friggen clue what's going on. I've been feeling a little crampy today, and there are moments where I'm more crampy than others... but there's not a definitive start and end so I don't think they're contractions? I don't even know. haha

So Big Baby M is in the 95 percentile so the OB said I will most likely need a c-section so I guess I won't be having a labor watch I have one more level II growth scan next Wednesday to confirm the c-section. I'm so upset. Like I can't get a fucking break with medical interventions...needed IVF to get pregnant, my IVF nurse told me the sex of my embryos when we wanted it to be a surprise and now I won't get to experience childbirth because I most likely need a c-section...apparently nothing natural about getting pregnant or childbirth was meant for me. Grrrr.

I'm sorry tikoberry99. It's OK to grieve things not going the way you wanted and that sucks. I hope that once you meet him, the difficulty and disappointment fades away. You'll get to be his mommy forever and that's the most natural thing in the world!

Awe thanks cabbage. I know it will all be worth it once he is here
jewelsofthenile, I know realistically that it doesn't matter. We have all the stuff from DD. We just need to set up the P&P next to the bed and buy some diapers. My mother will watch DD and Mh will go into a manic psychosis where he cleans the entire house while I hang in the hospital. But it still makes me anxious.
cabbagecabbage, Sadie Rose. That's the name Mh wants. This child is gonna be a little old lady before she's born.
tikoberry99, You could still insist on a vaginal delivery. I've heard/seen enough stories of "big babies" that only ended up being 7 ish pounds. But try not to stress about the day itself. It helps to go with the flow.
Sending hugs or hair pats your way tikoberry99. I know this is not the way you want it to be, but just keep telling yourself it will all be worth it once your little man arrives and you finally get your baby!

TheTuna15, I've read so many stories about estimations being completely wrong, but I feel as a FTM I just can't go against my doctors recommendation. I just don't have the balls I guess. I'm trying to think of the positives...like my vag won't be ripped to threads....but that's about all I got for positives LOL.
