So how many of us are still cooking inside babies? My entire family keeps telling me they think ill go early, and it's hard to be the voice of reason. I'm quickly approaching the "so done with being pregnant" phase. I can barely pull up DS's underpants and shorts.
DS was up twice with nightmares last night, but he slept in until 7:30. So...maybe winning?
Present with an inside baby! melody330 I feel like for me people telling me I'm going to go early is a default response that just gets my hopes up. I try not to listen and keep telling myself this LO will be late like his sister. Then maybe I'll be presently surprised.
Well my outside baby woke up my outside toddler at 430am.
This is such a trigger of anxiety for me and my baby is still inside! DS was the worst sleeper that I'm terrified this baby is going to send him back to waking up before 5am!

This was/is an anxiety for me too. Dh thinks he's just not used to the crying. He told me to give it a few days before sleeping on the couch downstairs with dd.
Everyone tells me I'm not going to make it to my due date either. I think that's cruel. Because I'm grateful to be pregnant and keeping this baby healthy but I am done. It's painful to do regular everyday things now. And I have another 2 weeks until my due date.
I'm here. Still have an inside baby, which is fine with me for the moment. Still feeling like I got hit by a truck. Flu swab was negative, so all I can do is rest and hydrate, and keep my fingers crossed that I'll be feeling better by my RCS date in 11 (!!!) days.
Still pregnant, 39 weeks today. I'm pretty over it, but won't be surprised in the least if I make it to my induction at 40+5. This last week of work is going to be killer, I hope I can make it through.
I'm with everyone else. Still pregnant with everyone telling me I'll go early. I seriously want to cry right now. I was so itchy last night, that I got maybe 3 hours of sleep. Obviously, bile salts need to get retested on Monday. MH worked a 24 hour and just got home this morning. He had a bunch of complicated admissions and non stop calls from the floor so he didn't sleep at all in 27 hours. He's napping now, while I take care of K. She's being clingy and I'm pretty sure my entire uterus is just going to fall up out of my body.

Still pregnant, still here. Still on vacation so I guess that's okay. I feel like yesterday was a good day for all the things that might put me in labour: did the deed, big storm came through, power outage and DH accidentally scaring the crap out of me middle of the night, sweating my balls off all night with no AC or fans, general crampiness and a bit of spotting. But nada.
lostinfaith225 lol at outside toddler! I feel like this baby is going to come out as a toddler.
Still pregnant, I'm 37+3. Induction scheduled for 7/24 at 39+4 so at least I have that to count down to.
For me, it was my OB who said I won't make it to my induction date! I was actually pretty content to stay pregnant the whole time, especially because Baby Girl is small and more time inside is a good thing. But since she said I'll go early but didn't say when (not that she knows exactly), it's driving me crazy and I just want to go in to labor right now. Other than sleep, I don't feel so horrible, I just HATE going to work at this point. If I could SAH with DD I'd be more content. I'm still negotiating with work whether they'll accept my proposal of reduced hours, otherwise I'll quit. Boss just went overseas for 8 days so I know I won't get an answer before then.... Ughhh. If they're going to say no, I just wish I theyd do it already so I could quit and hang out at the pool with DD until I have the baby.
Only 37 + 1 so still pregnant. No one is telling me I'll go early, and I have zero labor signs so I'm predicting an August baby. I'm ok with that. I fortunately feel pretty good and have a million things on my to-do list (posted a pic of baby's room yesterday so that's big project #1). But I'll be eagerly awaiting all of your birth stories!

Since the arrival of the newb, the only change in sleeping for the older is that the 2 yo goes to bed later. Like 1.5-2 hours later. I think he has FOMO. Last night it was only an hour past his normal bed time. He still sleeps through the night once asleep and wakes up at the same time. We live in the middle of the city on a loud busy street so the 2 yo has never had a quiet nighttime. The crying baby hasn't really phased him at all.

All of that to say, there is hope!
That helps! Ds was up later last night too. He's a pretty good sleeper normally. Hopefully he adjusts quickly.

37 weeks today. If S gets a choice I know he will stay in until my induction on the 26th. No one has told me I will go early, but I do get asked when I am due like 5-10 times a day at work. I swear I need to just wear a sign at this point that says 'yes I look miserable, yes it's hard to be pregnant in this heat, induction scheduled for 7/26' so I don't have to deal with people saying and asking the same thing over and over again.
I still have 2 weeks left so I shouldn't have my hopes up. But I do anyway lol. It doesn't help that my OB predicted at my appt last week that I would go before my due date. When a doctor says it, it must be true right?
I'm convinced this will be me. I'm only 37+4 so I'm not so sure I'll even have a July baby! I'm thinking August 1st. You guys will all have 1 or 2 month olds and I'll be the last pregnant one!
melody330, don't worry, I'll be pregnant along with you in August (I'm 37 + 1 today). Aug 1 is a Monday so I'll be prepared to start the pregnant check-in that day for the two of us!

I know right? I'm in the same boat. I'm now kicking myself for not pressing my OB for more info.
39+2. Drinking raspberry leaf tea. Eating pineapple. Just took some castor oil to quiet Dh. He is sooooo impatient for this baby. I told him if he has to rush home from baseball it's his own fault now.
