Is anyone else having trouble caring about nutrition at all? I found out this week that I'm anemic and know I need to step up the quality of my meals. However, most days I just really want cheerios over leafy greens.
I could pretty much live off cereal if I didn't have a 3 year old judging my food choices they wouldn't be as good.
Nutrition? What's that? LOL I actually feel like dinner sort of qualified as healthy. I made a big bowl of cheesy cauliflower. Heck, even the 2 yo wanted some! And if I end up not passing out with her now for bedtime... there is another bowl left in the fridge and I am so gonna eat it.
The party we went to wiped us both out and reinforced my notion that my child inherited more than her fair share of her father's mediterranean genetics... she tanned right up today! I stayed lazy in the shade and bribed a 6 year old buddy with a kit kat to help make sure my roaming child didn't get too far away. Holy crap but little kids can move a distance in the blink of an eye!
Tomorrow, SO is going to be continuing his weekend of events, so that backburners my school work plans... I am 100% ok with that. I might actually get some vacuuming done. Or, if not too achey, we have a friend who has been wanting us to go see her new house, and we had tentatively said this weekend. Not sure, though, I have leg aches like whoa, keep waking up with them. Potassium deficiency, maybe? Not my favorite idea to go driving for half an hour one way tomorrow.
So DD2 was born at 37w2d. Today I am 37w5d. I was totally ok with her not coming so early and even though I know I'm 3 cm, I'm not having any contractions at all, or showing any signs that labor will be coming anytime soon. I know it can all change in a second, and labor can start at any time, I just don't feel like she is coming out anytime soon. I will be induced at 39 weeks and I really want her to come before then so I can avoid an induction.
Plus since I had DD2 early, everyone expected this baby to come early too, so it kind of makes it worse because everyone is on high alert already.

I am sure I will have the same feelings next week. The other 2 came at 38 w,and on the full moon. The full moon is this week and I'm sure I will be disappointed if I am still pregnant next week.

So far today I've done some general cleaning in the kitchen and swept the floor. I'm going to head out to Bab.ies.r.u.s when it opens to return a few things. I'm sure I'll end up buying stuff as well. Self control is hard.

DS woke up at 1 am, screaming. I found him completely naked and he had peed all over his bed. After I gave him a bath and changed his clothes and bedsheets, he was still hysterical. He had to sleep in bed with me for the rest of the night (he kicked H out) so of course I couldn't get comfortable. Everything hurts today.

I am so glad to hear I'm not the only one who fell off the nutrition wagon. This whole pregnancy I did so good- fruit, home made well balanced meals, didn't give in to cravings, gained just under average weight. Then week 36 hit and it all went downhill. All I want is ice cream, sugar cereal, pizza and I've gained like ten pounds in the last 3 weeks. But I can't stop!!
My jaw kills. Apparently when I have b-hicks in my sleep I tense up and grind my teeth because I keep waking up with the worst jaw pain.
Good morning! Yesterday dh and I went to a wedding for some friends. It was really nice, but the whole thing was outdoors. It was like 87 with a bit of humidity (thankfully much better than it had been the past few days). I don't know if I have ever been hotter. I felt so gross. We stopped for ice cream on the way home, which helped cool us off a bit! Ds1 had a great time with my parents. It was nice having a night out and sleeping in a bit (as in a little after 7)- likely our last night alone before the baby is born!

That sounds miserable! I hope you can have a rest to make up for the rough night later today!
elm1214 I'm there with you, trying to beat the induction deadline. My kids were both born at 39 weeks, 6 days, but each of these times I have a long string of contractions, my hopes go up. Fingers crossed for both of us!
DS is having his birthday party this afternoon. (He doesn't actually turn 4 until Saturday, so I can continue my denial about how old he suddenly is for a few more days.) I skipped running to the store last night for punch ingredients & a veggie tray because on my way there was when the contractions started at 2 minutes, 20 seconds apart, lasting a minute each. So will be a busy morning, but should be a nice day with family!
Also, this time around I have had so many BH contractions. Yesterday I had a ton. With ds1 I had some around 20 weeks but then not again until the night before my water broke. I have no idea what to make of them because obviously they haven't led anywhere.
I had a dr appt on Friday and they didn't check my cervix or anything - I go back in a week and maybe they'll check then? I'll be almost 38 weeks. I also had an ultrasound. Baby boy is head down and was measuring 6lbs 2 oz. Their estimate of ds1 at this time was super off (the exact weight he came out at 3 weeks later), so I know it doesn't mean much. It's hard to see too much at this point, but we did get to see his brain on the screen, which was super cool.
Rough night over here too. I couldn't fall asleep until after 1am because my reflux was bad whenever I laid flat enough to be comfortable. Woke up at 2am choking and gagging and after a pretty miserable 20 minutes of my throat burning I finally puked. I felt a lot better after that though. H was super sweet and got up with me to rub my back and hold my hair (despite being sick and exhausted and HATING vomit). He is going to be such a good dad. :-)

Some will only check if you ask. Some don't like to check at all. If you'd like to know you could always ask at your next appt! My MW doesn't, as a general rule, do cervical exams unless you think you are in labor.
I'm so over this mindfuck of week 34. This has been by far the hardest week of pregnancy for me both emotionally and physically. I just cried on the couch last night because I didn't know how I was supposed to do this for another possibly seven weeks.

Love-tit for solidarity. As H reminded me last night while I was puking and crying, this is not going to last forever. Right now 7 weeks seems like forever but it won't be (and you might deliver before then!). And at the end, you'll have an adorable little squish in your arms. Hang in there and take it one day at a time.

Some may judge, but I just want to have this baby THIS WEEK. I'll be 38 weeks on Thursday, but I'm so over being pregnant and I'm even more over working while pregnant. I'll be walking, having sex, and pumping - anything to get this started.

Husband made the mistake of saying "We can do this." I strongly disliked his use of the word "we." Sorry, dude. Tell me "I" can do this because I have moments where I'm not sure at all.
I am going to cry. My tailbone is already killing me but I brought DS1 to his gymnastics class anyway. They won't let parents stay in the room anymore. So I get to spend the next hour sitting on a hard metal bench or standing. At least if I had known, I could have worn trainers and walk the track. Seriously, eff late pregnancy .
I am doubly irritated bc I was in the middle of a few things at home and abandoned them mid-project to , y'know, watch my kid learn things. Now by the time I get home I will be a stiff sore mess and have wasted an hour sitting here doing nothing.

I totally do not judge. I felt this same way last time. The only reason I don't feel this way this time is because I have a scheduled induction date and the hospital is a little over an hour away without traffic. I'm excited to not have the pregnancy pains.
I think the ACOG definition of full term changed to discourage inductions or SCS prior to 39w. Most babies born at or after 37w are perfectly fine and personally, I would never sideeye or flame someone for wanting to be done at 37 or 38 weeks. 10 months is a bloody long trod.
Another night over here of terrible sleep between major congestion and acid reflux & frequent small air burps. I did finally fall asleep after taking Zantac and multiple tums but not until like 3am. Still laying in bed feeling like crap, I look like I've been punched in the right eye & I have a sore throat. Not sure if I'm sick or its from the reflux or what. Screw anyone who is telling me to sleep as much as I can right now. As if I have a choice

Twins are considered term at 36 weeks (not sure why) and frankly they can come any time after that because I am huge and uncomfortable and ready to meet my babies.

I was told 36 for twins as well. Doc said I would be begging for an induction at 38 weeks lol if I made it there haha
I'm hoping I get some answers this week via induction or c section or what the plan is. Not having a plan with un predictable twin positioning is really stressing me out (oh and the +1 protein is a little worrisome)
Last night was horrible!! DD who falls asleep around 7:30 woke up from her slumber at 10 and wouldn't go back down till 12. Mainly because I literally couldn't lay down either gas or heart burn so I couldn't comfort her!!! Finally my drugs kicked in and I got her to sleep but with getting up 4 more times to pee and being uncomfortable it was terrible it's 10 and I need a nap already haha
Last night baby girl's movements were so painful! I think she was trying to stretch to her full length, so her head was ramming my lady parts and her feet were so far into my ribs. I definitely couldn't sleep through the pain, so I was pacing around the house trying to make it stop. I felt like she was trying to pop my water... I was picturing her in there planning her escape!
