The labor probability calculator now has the 14th as the date by which I have a 50% chance of spontaneous labor (EDD 4/9). That still sounds pretty far away. I'm pretty torn between feeling like I just can't even anymore with taking care of a toddler and dog while this big, and being so terrified of l&d and recovery that I just want to stay pregnant forever.
How is it April already? We have so many birthdays in our family this month (including my own!) and I feel like the chance of this one getting his own day is next to none unless he comes early!

I am 37+5 today and want this baby to make it ideally until Sunday evening, 4/9. I'm not feeling anything so I don't think that'll be a problem, but we'll see!
Only update I have is 1) it is super awkward trying to do your own GBS swab when you can't see what you are doing
2) baby's head is sitting right above my cervix and engaged. No wonder I keep getting hit there 😒 3) I'm totally over the waddling and feeling like I swallowed a damn bowling ball
lilmonk we had the same issue with DS1- the month had so many birthdays and his due date fell right in the middle of it all. He chose the one day that wasn't shared to make his 😂

I feel more heaviness in my pelvis today than I have so far but it's more like in my way upper thighs, inside, so I don't think that's baby having dropped, more likely that I slept funny or something. But it's making me waddle like no one's business and I feel ridiculous.

jennykat I'm okay during, other than I'm totally at beach whale status right now haha. But it's after my hips kill for basically the whole rest of the day.
MH will not have sex with me. He isn't the type that finds pregnants attractive.
Boo. Boo. Boo.
After yesterday's labor incident I'm so uncomfortable and miserable I don't want any of it anyways. I just want to have this giant baby. Another BPP tomorrow and I'm hoping they move up my induction. I can't breathe.
Back in hospital today for a bag of fluids and monitoring. Baby is fine - he was a bit tachycardic but settled down. Me on the other hand, I was severely dehydrated and had low BP, and almost fainted while out with DS today.
Feeling loads better after that but my next appointment I may look into booking an induction because my body is definitely struggling to keep up more this time around.

I'm just hanging out at 40+3. Think I'm losing my MP which is promising! Next appointment is tomorrow, we will see if they want to set an induction date for when I get closer to 42 weeks.

Everybody needs to stop having scary things happen and I hope everybody who's looking at induction goes into labor naturally- and have smooth and safe deliveries!
