I have an appt. in an hour. I optimistically packed my hospital bag. But I know I'm going to be told no progress. My pelvis just hurts so bad it's hard to walk. So. Done.

My daughter's breakfast is a packaged brownie bar I found in the cabinet. The wrapper claims it contains dates and is healthy but it's a brownie for breakfast.

DS had a granola bar. I don't have the energy to argue with him when he rifles through the pantry.
Also, I'm pretty sure he pooped and I'm not ready to jump up and change him. Give me five minutes.

Here's a confession, it's the 20th anniversary of the song Mmmbop and I still have all my posters from those teen magazines. Here's a small selection of what I own:

TMI confession: I had gained a couple of lbs at my appt yesterday... I am pretty sure that I have now lost all that weight after having to run to the bathroom a couple times last night and this morning.

Totally acceptable. I very much Believe the dessert is a legitimate breakfast food. DH contests this often.

I'm feeling OLD now. I remember when Hanson hit it big, my little sister had long blond hair and looked a lot like Taylor, like a lot lot.
As for the brownie breakfast. I don't feel too bad about it and I eat stuff like that all the time. I just fear that after the newborn stage, it's going to be hard to convince a 4yo that eggs or oatmeal are her options now when she has been allowed whatever she can see in the pantry.

LT for commiseration only. I keep feeling like I have to poop. But I don't

they came and did a mini-concert from a train that went through or pop. 1000 town back in the day.
Wow can't believe that was 20 years ago! Damn. I think it was the 20 year anniversary of the Spice Girls' "Wannabe" single being released last week as well. Crazy.
I lost most of my mucus plug last night and just went to the bathroom now and lost a ton more. Lovely! I have been having a few contractions that have kept me awake and I am pretty crampy but that's all so far.

I made inside out chocolate chip cookies last night. DS and I had them for breakfast. Then I left him on the couch with H and his fire tablet and went back to bed. Gotta get sleep while the babies are sleeping.

+1 more lost today. Been up since three with contractions that are very different from normal and make my face scrunch. And then they seem to have stalled out about 40mins ago.
My OB keeps recommending nipple stimulation to try to get contractions going, but my boobs are SO leaky that I can't do it unless I want to get fluids everywhere. So I used my manual pump yesterday and got about half an ounce of colostrum Oh and I had an itch the other day in my bra and sprayed myself in the face. Glamorous.
Does anyone here have Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD)? I just got diagnosed with it at my appt. this morning. Glad to have an answer for why it feels like my pelvis is ripping in half every time I move but now the OB is very negative about the chances for a med free delivery and wants me to think about induction. I want to go on my own but I am so done with this pain too.
littlesthobo 20 years?! OMG. I loved that song! Also, I still have my Spice Girls photo album with a bunch of random photos of them somewhere around here, no shame.
sarcaztic10 I'm dealing with the same issues the past couple nights. I feel bad, both times it's happened DH was in the middle of telling me a story and I'll run off right as he's talking...but it's either run to hobble upstairs to the bathroom as quickly as possible, or shit myself in front of him. He's gotta appreciate that.
glaze I mean the first word in fruit snacks IS fruit sooo...
housecarder I need you to explain inside out chocolate chip cookies to me now. They sound magical!
tootsie I started using my pump a couple days ago to try and get things going and now have a couple oz of colostrum in the fridge! Not sure what I'm supposed to do with it since I don't want to introduce bottles for a few weeks, but I couldn't just dump out liquid gold. I worked hard for those couple oz haha

I do, was diagnosed with it at 28 weeks. It's awful I've always wanted to go med free but now both my pelvis AND tailbone feel like they're broken to the point where pooping hurts. I'm starting to doubt my ability to be able to push a baby out with no pain relief if pooping hurts, it's upsetting to think about. Is your OB talking about inducing earlier than 40 weeks because of it?

I plan on getting mine out today. I've been losing part is my MP for the past few days but no consistent contractions.
mcktymck - I'm 39 weeks today and she offered to schedule the induction right away. I wasn't expecting it. She said the issue is that they only do 5 inductions a day and since it's summer people tend to jump at the option (b/c of heat, vacations, etc.) so if we want to induce we should schedule now.
First morning in the hospital is so stinking busy. Nurse shift change around 7, lab tech came for a blood draw, ob, pediatrician, chaplain, patient advocate, housekeeping, birth certificate, and the regular vitals checks, pad changes, and meds.
Hopefully we're good for a while now. H went home to shower and see DD. E decided he was hungry today and cluster fed for a while, but is now passed out. I'm out of bed and about to order lunch and hopefully enjoy a little quiet.
It definitely gave me some cramps melody330, so then I got scared of going into labor late at night and having to take DD to the hospital with us, so I stopped.
I dumped mine mcktymck, oops. I figure I wouldn't be able to bottle feed it to her without messing with milk production, and it would maybe be weird to mix it with milk after my milk officially comes in?
