I'm making this for Saturday and Sunday this week because I know I am coming up with more and more questions as time gets shorter and I'm sure everyone else is too.
(Plus it gives me more time to remember what my stupid question was! I hate pregnancy brain, I knew I should have written it down! Grr.. )
sully326, I've been having intense pressure as well. I just figured it was normal 9 month stuff.
For those mamas that have had prior c sections: - how long was your recovery? - how long til you drove? Went for a walk? - any words of advice for the procedure itself?
stinybean It started last night and has pretty much been non-stop. I haven't spoken to my Dr....I feel like she may have dropped lower or something and that's what's causing it. I'm not sure but I'm definitely uncomfortable.
sully326, to some extent. My cramping comes and goes but the pressure is killing me. In my vag, in my poop chute, in my belly... like he's about to burst out the sides. All. the. time.
For my hospital bag, do I need to bring my own boy short/granny panties or do they give you mesh ones to wear home too? Also, any c-section mamas, did you bring a change of clothes for your husband, or send them home to shower/change that first night? (We live less than 10 minutes from the hospital.)

Yeah, the pressure is nothing new, its just worse. And its the consistent period-like cramps and achiness that's got me wondering....
I had a c-section with DS but mine was a straight up horror story so I'll skip answering your first & third questions lol... I wasn't allowed to drive for two weeks and they want you to walk as much as you can to help with recovery. As long as you don't have any complications, depending on your hospital, they'll probably have you up and moving within hours.

The hospital I delivered in gave mesh panties and I stayed in them until I went home. Some people love them, some hate them. Also, I've heard a few people say their hospitals didn't supply them. So, I'd bring your own as well just in case. We lived about 15 mins from the hospital when we had DS so DH would just go home to shower and change. It also gave him a chance to have a few minutes to himself so I didn't mind.
Anyone else having non-stop period like cramps and super intense pressure no matter how you sit/walk/lay?
Please tell me I'm not alone here...
Don't want to scare you but could you be our next announcement?
If I was further along than 35 weeks, I'd love to be. lol....idk, I know people have said they've had this and it was nothing or had to do with positioning, but then other experienced this and went into labor. Guess we'll just have to see but I'm so freakin' uncomfortable!
Has anyone's heartburn/reflux gotten worse? I've heartburn the entire pregnancy but this past week it's like wake me up from a dead sleep and Rush to the bathroom for fear of puking bad...
I don't think I had tums at all until like 32 weeks. Now the heartburn is out of control. I take tums every day now with each meal. Ugh. Same here with it waking me from my sleep.

Anyone feeling a tad bit more vulnerable than usual? It could be my excuse for getting clingy to DH but I don't like to be out and about alone. I'm usually an independent person.

I've been feeling this in the evenings. then about 2h in just when I'm at my SS-iness and think I need to call someone, I have to fart (excuse my crassness). and it improves.

Hm Ya, I'd say almost constant pelvic or hip pain, but only occasional real pressure and occasional period like cramping. Nothing to make me question anything yet.. Eek! Gl, hope it's just a weird thing you are going through right now!

My heartburn has been very occasional up until the last week or two, I've started keeping the tums a lot closer!
ETA-luckily not puking bad though, yuck, sorry you are dealing with that!

yes. To the point 3sips of water when I first wake up cause me pain. I am so looking forward to it going away!
I did talk to the OB about this at my appt this past week. She says I can take as many tums as I want to, despite what the bottle label says. She says it's there bc the don't want ppl treating unknown medical conditions with OTC drugs (like a bleeding ulcer for example). Since we know what's causing my reflux, and tums are calcium carbonate, she said to have at it. (body will filter/urinate out excess calcium).

Girl, I've farted, burped, pooped, you name it. I'm like a man right now in that department. Nothing really relieves it. When I say the crampy/achiness is non-stop, it's not going away. It's been there since last night and it's just a little more intense at times....I've been staying off my feet and pumping myself with water just in case it could've been dehydration but, so far, it's still hanging around...We'll see I guess.
stinybean It started last night and has pretty much been non-stop. I haven't spoken to my Dr....I feel like she may have dropped lower or something and that's what's causing it. I'm not sure but I'm definitely uncomfortable.
Not to freak you out but call your doctor ASAP and get checked. I had this but no contractions, I got checked and was actually in labor I was at 3cm an hour later was at 5. It might be nothing but let your doctor know.

DH can either pack his own bag or he can come home to sleep/change/etc. We're only 10 minutes away too.
They will provide you with as much mesh as you need.

I feel like I can no longer drive myself place because of back pain. I hate feeling so dependent on DH to take me anywhere.

I only drive myself if I have to. Either MH or DS drive me. I had all three kids, DS's gf is one, helping me shop last weekend. I also have been super clingy. It's been very strange.

GAH! I just hate being a SS when it comes to my Dr. Nothing is worse than calling and going in, and it's nothing. ESPECIALLY on a weekend because they'll send me straight to L&D. I'm battling myself with it. I just feel like if there really IS something going on, there should be more, idk, going on. I was hoping you ladies would tell me I'm just being a super duper SS right now....
This isn't a question, but if baby shows up before this head cold goes away I will cry. There is no way I can labor right now. I have not even a hint of energy, can't breathe, and feel like my head is going to explode. I haven't been sick in at least a year and my body chooses now to do this?

I'm sorry :-( Honestly, I couldn't imagine pushing and having all that pressure in my head at the same time! I really hope you start feeling better soon and baby hangs out until then!

Yes! And my friend just decided to tell me that the number 1 cause of death for pregnant women is....murder...dun dun dun.
