I am so hoping this baby waits until at least April 9th to arrive. No progress at my OB appt yesterday- still 1 cm dilated but very high- and it's a relief for what it is. MIL asked if that means I'm going to go to my due date. No, that means I probably wasn't going to give birth yesterday, every day going forward is fair game, haha.
Been lurking but not contributing. Still pregnant. I'll try to be better! Y'all, it's almost April! ❤️❤️❤️
Been wondering where you were! Say hi more often!
Been a bit overwhelmed with work, toddler, and the later days of pregnancy. It feels like the end is in sight though! One more week of work for me and we've kinda sorta started talking about induction if baby doesn't come soon-ish. I'm so excited to see all the babies already here and the rest of us so very close!

ThankfulSnail, I'm due 4/8. "Soon" might not be the right word. More like "wait and see"? I've been having some BP issues that we're watching and I'm AMA so we're just kind of starting the convo. At any rate, it's making me realize that she won't be in my body forever. I'm getting so excited to meet her.
We were pretty lucky with just minimal flooding at our house. There's areas of town going on day5 of no power which in this heat I would have struggled without air conditioning. We are under water restrictions at the moment and still at home unless absolutely necessary to go out. Fallen powerlines and trees, high tides, all the fun.
My Aussie husband even said this is one of the worst he's seen in a while. The last big one I went through we were without power for 7 days.

It's going to be April on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY EDD!!!! AHHHH!!!
I have an appt with the midwife today since my OB is on spring break! My OB normally doesn't do much other than "how ya feeling?" so I'm hoping maybe this midwife will do some more feelin' around or, maybe a cervical check (even though I know those don't say a lot about when you'll go into labor, I'm mostly just curious).

I'd ask for a check and a membrane strip if possible, but that's just me
A lot of OB/MWs have taken to wait until 40w before doing checks because it doesn't mean anything, like you said.
Hell, my grandmother walked around at 4cm for a month before she had her first... I was at 2cm for at least two weeks 😳
Bleh, 30 days to go. I'm hoping my MWs will agree to induce on the 28th... (due the 30th). We're setting a date at my 38w app on the 17th. I already warned them I'll be begging for a strip at my 39w app on the 24th

I think I want to be checked again today because of the amount of contractions I've had since Wednesday. If they aren't progressing then I guess I can give up hope of a baby next week. I just need to get through today and part of tomorrow and then M can come.

@osw not to be a Debbie downer but I had strong contractions the Saturday before my DD was born and they kinda fizzled out. Then I had them off and on for days before she was finally born on that Thursday.
First cervical check today at 39w6d, I'm 2cm but not really effaced yet. Baby is super low. Midwife said that I can schedule an induction for next week or wait it out and have another appointment to monitor next week and I chose to wait it out before scheduling an induction. My doc isn't in the office next week when I'll be closer to 41 weeks, so they just scheduled me for a regular check up with him and he can decide what our next step is.

mosdub, I agree that cervical checks hurt and I have been through labor before. You will care less about them when you're in labor, and you'll find a way to make it through. I promise.

Edit: 39! Not 29 🙈👎🏻
I'm going to try a sweep next week at my 39 week appointment. I haven't been checked yet and baby is super high. I'm scared. 😱
