[ThePalindromicOne]

Weeks: 40 weeks today - Happy due date to me! Seems like just another day though, physically

Symptoms: I get crampy and BH alot in the evening. My bump is constantly rock hard it seems, but still nothing impressively painful. On the books for an induction at 41w1d

Appointments: Monday to check and get an extra membrane sweep before Fridays pre-induction assessment

Randoms: Maternity leave is awesome!

[sugarkissed]

Weeks: 40 weeks!!

Symptoms: Really no signs of anything happening. A bit crampy, but nothing substantial. Just uncomfortable and impatient!

Appointments: 41 week appointment next Friday. My OB was away this week so we haven't even discussed inducing or RCS, which is a bit frustrating. In my mind I'll end up going until 42 weeks again.

Randoms: My mom is working away until the 13th and DH suddenly got busy at work, so both of them are holding out hope that baby isn't born for at least another week. Way easier to wish for when you aren't the one who is pregnant!

[dogmama22]

Weeks: 39
Symptoms: cramping, BH, heartburn, generally uncomfortable - my belly feels huge
Appointments: next Wednesday for BPP and to discuss induction plans for Thursday
Randoms: as long as all goes as planned, I'll be very close to having a baby in my arms this time next week!

Weeks: 39

Symptoms: contractions but nothing regular, belly feels huge too.

Appointments: everything was good yesterday and I was 4cm with a bulging bag of water. Sitting in the waiting room right now to have my membranes swept, she wouldn't do it yesterday since I wasn't officially 39w. If this doesn't work by morning we're headed to L&D to be induced.

Weeks: 38
Symptoms: Random contractions, pinching in my cervix, sore hips, lots of pressure, pregsomnia
Appointments: Had my last OB Appt today. Next Weds I fill out Pre-Op Paperwork, she'll be here Friday!
Randoms: I'm stressing about last minute things. I feel like nothing is done and I'm not ready. ::sigh::

Just curious.. what's the indication for inducing early in your situation? Not being judgey, just curious if you don't mind me asking...

Weeks: 38!

Symptoms: Moving so slow! Looking forward to mobility and agility again. DH sprained his ankle, too, so we are quite the pair right now as neither of us is excited about things like hauling a load of laundry up two flights of steps.

Appointments: Monday, but I was a SS and went in this a.m. just to try to figure out baby's position since he flipped breech on Tuesday and HE FLIPPED BACK! I cried. I was so panicked this week, I don't tolerate unexpected change well. I am realistic that he could pull it again so I'm not stopping the research on c-sections and preparing myself for it mentally, but going to enjoy it for the weekend anyway! Induction because of GD still scheduled for 40 and 4.

Randoms: I'm with sully326. I just can't seem to get enough done fast enough. I am making progress, it is just harder this time with a toddler wreaking havoc constantly and me being so slow. Nesting was easier last time!

Happy 40 to @thepalindromicone and sugarkissed!

Weeks: 38. And I applaud all of you who have made it to 40. I'm going to have a meltdown if I go past my due date, I don't know how I'm going to last another 2 weeks!

Symptoms: Just you know, overall big-ness weighing me down. Swelling isn't fun either. But I slept really well last night and no aching back or sciatica pain or anything, so I don't think I'm allowed to complain.

Appointments: Today at 10. Fingers crossed that my cervix has made some progress from 'long and closed' at last week's appointment.

Randoms: I wish I could skip the weigh in part of the doctor's appointment. I weighed myself yesterday and broke down after seeing I gained 2 lbs since last week. I don't understand how I keep gaining weight. I'm up 43 lbs at this point. I'm not sitting around eating McDonald's and cookies. WTF. I'm also obsessed with staring at my belly for stretch marks. I feel like it's a miracle I've made it this far without any and I'll probably see some after birth, but now I just realllly realllly don't want any to pop up so I've been rubbing coconut oil on my belly a billion times a day. I can't stop.

Edited for grammar, cause words are hard today.

It's because of concern about his size, particularly his head size, which has measured anywhere from 85-99%ile, and me being able do deliver that compared to my girls who were 30-50%ile.

If the membrane sweep works like it did with the girls, I'll be in labor before we get there tomorrow, which is what I'm really hoping.

38 weeks!
Contractions all over the place. Trying to decipher if they are "real" or not (or gastrointestinal) is a lot of fun. Baby's still moving a lot and I am not sleeping! My belly is officially in the way.
Appts: I see the dr on Tuesday
Randoms: It totally freaked me out to realize that my DH is going to be a dad by Father's Day.

[disney815]

Weeks: 40! Induction on Monday!

Symptoms- everything. Except heartburn... Until I just jinxed myself.

Appts: cytotec rounds 1 and 2 on Sunday, full induction Monday morning!

Randoms: my last ticker change EVER. My third and final baby, sniff sniff.

[sordidvolition]

Weeks: 37

Symptoms: just uncomfortable since baby is transverse

Appt: regular check in tues next week

Randoms: getting my hair done for the last time before baby gets here. Debating on if I'll get a pedicure, too

Me too!

[lalamomma]

Weeks: 37!!!!!
Symptoms: they change by the hour I swear! Recently- pelvic and back pain, heart burn, hemmroids, soft stool (not diarrhea but much different than the last few months) , swelling of feet, legs and hands. Also I think I have lost or am losing my mucus plug, but no bloody show.

Appointment: had one Wednesday but doctor is out of town next week so nothing until 38/4 but she didn't seem confident I would be at that appointment.

Randoms: I'm actually pretty well organized at this point so this little guy will probably take his sweet time getting here unlike DD. Which will make me crazy.

EEEEE everyone is getting so close!!!
