I'm feeling all sorts of weird today/ part of yesterday. I'm having strange pains, but nothing intolerable and baby has been incredibly active in the last 24hrs. I'm also incredibly nervous because at least five people yesterday told me I'm going early. Cue freak out and random symptoms!

I slept amazing last night even though it was 7290442 degrees...2 fans pointed directly at me seems to be the winning combo! Heartburn yesterday and minor backaches, but I've come to just accept those as 3rd tri constants.
These birth announcements have me all kinds of anxious. Geez- we really are close!!
This baby girl is active and squirming all over the place. Some of the sudden movements can be painful.
While running errands yesterday and walking around Target, I definitely felt like my belly was heavier. I went to four different stores yesterday and 6 strangers asked when I was due. I've noticed a lot more attention since I've entered in the home stretch. One woman proceeded to tell me about her homebirth and how hospitals push you in to unnecessary interventions. Very deep for the facial cleanser section of Taarr- jaay.
The birth announcements freak me out a tad as well. I swear I can feel my whole stomach and back just stretching and accommodating for my baby's last growth spurt. Stretch marks all over my lower belly. I can't believe how much they appear overnight. I'm feeling a bit down about it. More than the weight gain because weight I feel like I later have control over that.... stretch marks not so much. DH was so sweet. He kissed my stretch marks and thanked me for doing this for us. Gosh I love that man.
She tried to wake me up doing acrobatics at 3 am but hah! I noticed them and went back to sleep. Nice try, baby!
I am dressed all cute on top but I have my Nike flip flops on. No shame. I posted about how I needed new clothes since I keep ruining mine and everyone keeps saying to get mens' tshirts in huge sizes. Really?
Got a nice foot and leg rub last night and the swelling is down, as is my weight by like 2 pounds. It was going up up up since I started swelling. Thanked my husband for moving the fluid so I could pee it out!
I feel huge all of a sudden. I noticed last week when I look down I see a nice round bump instead of the top of a bump and my extra belly below. I feel heavy, waddle, and now my belly really sticks out like all you other cuties.
Reflux wakes me every night and I'm bummed about sleeping tonight since I can't take any tums. Fasting for repeat 3 hour gtt tomorrow. Wah.
Back pain like WHOA. Stretching and rolling on my foam roller seem to help, but only give temporary relief. Getting up out of bed in the morning is now my hardest task of the day.
The reality of "the end" is starting to really sink in. I'm a planner so I think all the unknowns are just making it a tad bit worse, too. When will my water break? Will it break? Where will DH be when I go into labor? Will I know it's a contraction? Is he going to be early, on time, or late? My biggest pet peeve is people who aren't on time, so if he is late, he is already testing mama's patience! My OB told my yesterday I need to take deep breaths, relax and detox mentally for the next 6 weeks!
So far so good this morning. DD slept through the night, and so did I! I only had to pee once and slept all the way through the night. That's the first time in a long time, so I'm feeling pretty good. Hopefully the rest of the day goes well too.
DS woke up at 1:30 this morning crying, so I put him back to bed after it was just a lost binky issue. He went back down easily, but I was wide awake for an hour after. Heartburn wakes me up almost every night. My legs are still cramping. I'm just done...
I have my doctors appt today to check if I am at a four now. If I am I go to the hospital to have a baby. I think I might be . Last night and today I am miserable. Contractions are stronger and more painful. Not closer together though and so much pressure in my but! I had a hemorrhoid pop out last night and it is soooo painful!! I have had small ones but never in my life have they been painful! I feel like I have to poop but am scared to even try! My stomach hurts so bad right now ! And all the cramps. I am cramping in my lower back and abdominal area. If this isn't labor and I am still at a three I am kind of terrified for the next few weeks. This is painful!!
Spent 3 hours in L&D last night because of contractions - strong ones and consistent but apparently all BH because cervix is closed and thick! (Thank goodness - 33 weeks is to early) Home today and trying to relax. Still having them but not as much if I lay down and relax. Heartburn as usual woke me up and LO is really not enjoying the squishing he's getting - he's doing lots of kicking. Def. feeling very sore in the pelvic area and waddling today. Good luck maddib and @jemomma!! I hope your dr appts go well!
@jemomma I am totally miserable but honestly I hope she stays on for at least another week or two. I would rather her be 37 or 38 weeks then just barely 36. It scares me!!
I have been having contractions since yesterday. Sometimes they are 20 minutes apart, sometimes an hour and sometimes in between. There is no definite pattern to them, but man they are super uncomfortable and sometimes pretty painful. I have a Doctor's appointment at 2 today, so hopefully they can tell me everything is fine. I'm trying not to be a snowflake, but I'm a little scared that they could mean something...I think all of these early labor stories are getting inside my head!
I hope your appt goes well and that everything is ok!! I know I am super scared but I have been having contractions since 18 weeks! They are painful and scary!!

Glad it was a false alarm! Hoping that they go away today!
Had some pretty strong pressure in my lower stomach last night that caused me to stop in my tracks. Going to call the doctor about that one later today. Ive been having some contractions that take my breath away/just make it hard to breath in general when I am just sitting still. OH and because the Birthing Basxic EXPRESS class we took last night went an hour longer then expected my feet are still semi swollen this am and now it is just before 12 and they are huge like the size they normally are come 7pm. I just want to go home and go to bed. But like I just said its not even 12 and I have so much to do!

My worst symptoms have been pain around the symphasis pubis, I'm glad it's stretching but ow! It won't be fun when the baby drops. And heartburn, during the day and waking me up at night.
My feet are so swollen! Gah! Also like leenziepops, got stretch marks OVERNIGHT. Pretty bummed out.
Overall, just feeling huge.
Did you ugly cry like the way I did though?!? I don't know why they upset me so much but they do.
You bet your ass I did. I have never been a big bikini wearer or anything, so it's not really that big of a deal I GUESS, but I am having a terrible time with it. I'd like to ugly cry about it again right now!
Sorry to say it but I'm glad to see others who have started swelling this week. I saw it on my left foot Monday and freaked out in my head that it was too early but looks like we are just hitting that point!
I just took a nice little nap while my nephew was sleeping but kept waking up to a crying baby. Windows are open so it must be a neighbor. I was like wait buddy, you wake up nice and this nap has been too short for both of us! Nope. He's still snoozing.
I got a glimpse of my stretch marks in natural light today and couldn't believe how many I have. It is pretty much my entire lower belly now. They didn't look as bad when I was in the bright light in my bathroom. Sighhhhhh............
Well went to my appt and still at a three! I am kind of happy and a little sad at the same time. Happy because she gets to cook longer!!! Yay!! But a little sad because it would have been nice to have it over with so I can get my wisdom teeth removed! The left side of my face is causing me so much pain the last week or so! It's impacted and my doctor thinks it is going absest(spelling?). But there isn't anything they can do until I deliver her. So I will continue to be miserable but I am so happy she gets more time! My ob wants me to come back Monday to be checked again.

Glad everything is good maddib! My appointment went well also. Baby has not dropped yet which I good and OB said my contractions sound normal for a third pregnancy. She advised against a cervical check this early for various reasons, mainly that it could do more harm if I was already dilated, so I guess we'll wait and see on that.
I am glad your appointment went good too!! This LO has definitely dropped and is already in the birthing position. I was wondering about the check maybe causing me to dilate more but it has to be done at this point to make sure I am not progressing. I will have another one on Monday. Ugh!
Lightening crotch kept me from falling asleep last night. It was just non stop, one zap after another for what seemed like forever. WTF is this baby doing in there?
My pelvis feels like it's bruised, I have heartburn often, and my hands have started getting really stiff at night/in the morning! It works itself out and dr assures me this is ok, and I've just never been this pregnant and am going to start finding some new to me symptoms!
So so sooooo tired (see my ridiculous nighttime nightmare/adventure in the pregsomnia thread) and of course my daughter will not nap today. Running on fumes and have zero patience.
