I'm having horrible tummy aches. Like run to the bathroom tummy aches. But (tmi) I don't have the runs, I just feel like I'm going to explode and its sooooo painful.
I also feel trapped at home, BottleRock is going on down the street and there's ridiculous traffic all day (3 day music festival). I don't want to leave my home because of all the pedestrians and cars and I'll just get road rage. Unfortunately I have to go grocery shopping so they better brace themselves.
I was supposed to go to yoga, but chose sleep instead. Now I have to clean the house and the will is not there. We have friends coming to dinner at 6:30. Gah.
redlipz I feel for you - do any of your local stores deliver?
We are allowed to move out furniture back on the the refinished floors today so I've been doing some scraping and patching of the trim to get it ready for touch up paint. Also wiped down the walls. I'm a hot tired mess. I was about to take a nap but have to get ready for a family party now so boo! Furniture moving to commence when we return. So excited to sleep in my bed tonight.
I have been having lower stomach and back pain on & off today. I feel awful. I posted more about it in SQS
Could be contractions. It's been happening to me as well, sometimes timetable but not always. For me it kinda feels like my back is being ripped apart. Just make sure you keep hydrated(:
Hot, very hot. Im at one of those kid friendly farms for a birthday party. DH has been running around with DD and a bunch of other kids so ive been hibernating in a gazebo. But i still feel like im going to melt into a puddle any second

Pretty good.. Which makes me feel like there's no chance of baby anytime soon. I cleaned the basement today, and wiped out trash cans! I asked DH what on earth I'm going to do if I go two more weeks..
Any good ideas for projects or fun things to pass time ladies?
I felt like shit working at 37 weeks but after more than a week of resting up I feel good! Weird.

Finally feeling okay. Nesting has 100 percent set in. Woke up this morning and was gonna make pancakes but then reorganized my kitchen and cut a watermelon instead. Now I'm organizing the bedroom. The only thing I need to do but can't(too much bending and I can't reach to switch over) is laundry. I have two more weeks, but I have a feeling(a hopeful feeling) that she's coming early!
I go on and off to feeling like..."ehh am I having contractions?" to "this baby is never coming!" At the dr yesterday I was 1.5cm dilated and 75 % effaced--which we know really means nothing concrete--just that I'm progressing. Dull back pain and abdominal pain that wasn't truly timeable. Then I had some pretty severe diarrhea so maybe that was just it. Who knows.
So it was sex this morning, followed by a mile walk with my dog twice today and spicy food again for dinner. Cmon baby!

I spent the day helping my mom find an apartment. Her job is being outsourced in September and jobs in the Akron area for what she does are few. What better time to relocate to where my sister, DH, and I are? I'm just glad I can stop worrying about her being homeless or living in a shady part of town. My ankles are super swollen now and I'm trying to rest up before possibly going to game night. I mostly just want to sleep.
ETA: My mom's car broke down (breaks went out on an exit ramp, battery light came on, and now her car won't start). She's safe, lipping out at a local hotel, and has a repair appointment scheduled for tomorrow. I'm dangerously out of spoons for today..
My contractions are getting worse and were less then ten minutes apart while walking around the thrift store. I went home to rest and drink water because now that I am being induced on Monday I don't want her to come early. I have everything set up as far as nursing for DD goes and really don't want to have to change plans or figure something out. Everything is set for Monday and I really hope she will stay put until then. If I weren't being induced in a little over a day I would totally have continued walking to see what happened. But no! Not yet LO!! They are now spacing back out to 20 min apart and hopefully will continue to get further apart. Man they have been pretty damn painful the last two days and I can't wait for Monday!! And after she is born I can go to my oral surgeon and have my cracked abscessed wisdom tooth removed!! Yay! That's one of the reasons my doctor is inducing me. It's becoming infected and is causing so much pain!!
Ok so question. (Tmi warning) I just went to the bathroom and on my pad is really yellowish discharge. Someone said something about their water being yellow an sticky because of the meconium. It didn't fill the pad and I don't feel any gushes or really any trickles. Could it be the rest of my mucus plug? It's not thick or globby. Does it have to be a thicker consistency to be the mucus plug or is it just yellow discharge? I put a new pad on and will monitor but I just don't know what the hell it is!

As labor approaches its common to have a change and increase in discharge. I have been extra "wet" and have had kinda like slime like discharge the past few days and it's a bit yellow also. I would say just continue to monitor, if it has to do with your water I'm sure you'll have some leaking soon. And I think the mucous plug is a bit more thick in consistency than what you describe.

Ya I thought so too because last week I could have swore I lost my mucus plug. It was quite a bit and really thick and gooey. But thank you! That makes me feel better and I bet you are right that it's just a change in discharge.
Got most of the house tidied up and DH just got home and will do the rest! Part of me wants to finish (movement is good right!) but the couch is calling for another nap! DH doesn't understand why I'm fighting the nap -- not going to anymore! Thank goodness for such a sweet guy.
I'm doing alright. Was realllllly tired today but other than that, I felt fine.
I just got done cooking dinner & now I'm not feeling too great. My lower stomach is sore & I'm getting crampy. I hate that I can't do simple things without this being the end result. Just keep telling myself the end is near!
I've had some cramping and likely BH off and on today, and a lot of gas too.
I'm such a SS that every twinge I'm wondering... But it's way too early. Give me 10-12days!
I'd planned on taking DS1 to the splash pad up the street, but as soon as I'd gotten him to his room to change, a thunderstorm fired up.
so, we're watching various sports and auto racing (Indycar woo!) on TV. DH is at work.
I was getting ready to go to the splash pad with my friend and her DD but that stupid storm, then after that one past we got her all excitd again, then the stupid second storm hit! Stupid Ohio Valley. ?
maddib I also have been having yellow discharge. I asked my OB about it last week, and she said it's totally normal. Just another fun pregnancy thing.
Thank you! I have been having some too but today was quite a bit. Way more then normal. Before it was just a little bit in the mornings after I woke up. But that definitely puts my mind at ease. I guess I was just surprised at how much it was.
DH and I spent the afternoon with BIL, SIL, and our nieces. It was nice to see them, but damn was it hot and humid out. I am so glad it's supposed to drop back into the 70s next week - I can't handle this heat! The heat was making me nauseous, and I'm swollen up like a damn balloon, but we're home now and I've got my feet up again. Guzzling water like a fiend, and I'm feeling a little better now.
+1 for having thicker yellowish discharge recently, and more than usual. MW said it's normal and that CM can increase a lot in the last few weeks before baby comes. Could also be more mucus plug, since it does/can regenerate itself even when you've lost some of it.
My OB told me that the baby's movement will decrease the closer my EDD gets, but it still makes me so nervous when I don't feel her moving for long periods of time. Are you ladies noticing a decrease in movement?
I've been having contractions ranging from 7-10 minutes apart for a few hours now. Every time I get up I cross my fingers that my water breaks. The last few have been 6-7 minutes apart. Docs said to call at 5 minutes for an hour. Feels like that'll never get here, but if it does, then I will freak about getting someone here to watch DD and getting to the hospital (40 min) in time. DD had a rough night last night due whatever reason, and if I have a neighbor come by to watch her until my mom gets here (70 minutes away), it'll make me so upset if she has another bad night with someone she barely even knows.
