QOTW: What's the strangest thing you've done/wanted to do in response to nesting?

38, and I'm getting pineapple today.

3 hours of false labor last night, getting up to less than 6 minutes apart. Achey pelvis/lower abdomen this morning. Was ravenous in the middle of the night, no appetite now.

Most out of the ordinary thing I've done was disinfect and rearrange the nursery when I just went in to get bedding to wash. (Last time I replaced half the drawer pulls in the house, because it was critical they matched.)

39 weeks tomorrow. I'm not sure on fruit, but I'm guessing state fair sized pumpkin at this point.

Nothing. Absolutely freaking NOTHING! All the super fast early dilation and effacement, baby sitting below zero station, two rounds of bloody show, losing mucous plug twice, countless starts and stops, and now, for the last four days, nothing. Not a BH, not a cramp, not a single tease. My doc and especially my acupuncturist are both shocked he's still in there. Me? I just cry a lot and wish I had anything else to focus on because the mental part is really getting to me. For all his smack talk, baby obviously wants nothing to do with the outside world. I am scheduled for a "soft induction" on Tuesday. My doc is pretty sure that just giving me an enema is going to cause him to shoot out like he's riding a water slide. I am torn, beyond that though. He can also break my water but we're going to start slow and wait a couple of hours to see what happens. I really don't want to do anything to put me on track to being given an IV and/or meds. And I'm kind of sad because I really wanted to labor at home to start this time. I don't get why my doc can't do the enema in his office and just send me home to wait.

QOTW: I cleaned the crap out of my car a couple of weeks ago and earlier week I completely freaked out because the edges needed to be done in the yard and I spent an hour doing that. That's as much weirdness as I can offer.

39 weeks today, baby is the size of a watermelon, and I'm eating a lot of watermelon and apricots. I'm also going to start pounding the pineapple.

Other than the usual pelvic/hip pain, it's just a waiting game. The psychological change at this point is really starting to get to me. I'm just done. I do find that putting an ice pack on my crotch does help the SPD for a little bit.

My Drs appt isn't until Thursday, and I'm really hoping to not make it that long. Definitely stating the soft labor encouragements this week. Except raspberry leaf tea, it gives me serious stomach cramps.

The most random nesting thing I've done is organize/clean under the kitchen sink. Never mind the fact my bedroom is a mess (that's where baby will be), and baby's dresser has a huge stack of unrelated stuff on top of it. But his clothes are put away, and his bassinet is set up, so that's all that matters.

38w tomorrow, TD says pumpkin.

I'm such a SS, every twinge I think something is happening. But, it's still usually gas. woo! The bump grew insanely in a 24h period wed into thurs and things got way uncomfortable.

next appt on Wed! And I'm taking the car seat to be inspected by a CPST on thurs!

Weirdest nesting?? Eh. Most of it is pretty normal.

[noname83]

38w tomorrow, no clue what food that is. I've been eating lots of berries though.

I think I'll be one of the last to go, I have literally no pre-labor signs. Baby is still high up in my ribs. I'm still feeling somewhat comfortable though. My last day of work was yesterday, so I am absolutely thrilled about that.

I haven't really done anything strange. I put grout sealant on the floor in the kitchen, but it's mostly because we have new tile and it's needed to get done. We also washed the inside of the fridge today - but it's not really baby related, just has been on the to do list for a while (and anything on the to do list has to get done yesterday at this point).

38 weeks tomorrow!

Sore hips/pelvic bone, lots oh BH and heartburn galore (so done with that). Pretty sure kiddo is still high, even with the increased pelvic pressure. No one around me thinks I'll go past the 16th. I doubt he comes any sooner than his due date. I have an appt on Tuesday so we'll see if anything is happening.

Nesting doesn't seem to have hit me yet. Like at all.

[pghtruelove]

39 weeks tomorrow I'm so ready. I feel fucking huge.

Just really uncomfortable, tired, heartburn, can't beeathe, you know normal things when you have something taking up all the space in your body.

Hoping Monday is her birthday. :-)

Not sure about weirdest nesting thing, SO and I are pretty weird so everything we do I consiserr weird. Lol

But seriously, @jimbobcooter, have you seen the movie "What to expect when you're expecting"? The part toward the end where the one girl goes to her Dr, she's huge & miserable & tells him, "I'm gonna take him out myself! I swear to god, you'll see me on the news!"....Totally reminds me of you right now. I don't know how you haven't lost it! I really hope it works out on Tuesday & he finally decides to show up!

We'll miss you. 

I should watch that movie tonight!   The only thing keeping me from losing my mind completely is the fact that I'm not actually to my due date so I just keep saying, he's just not ready yet... despite the fact that he's estimated to be 8.5 pounds already and there is no logical explanation for how he does not just fall out of my vagina at this point.   Seriously, how can one baby be this on the edge for so long?    If we did an US right now I wouldn't be surprised to see him sneering at us and giving us the finger.

I said all this with DS too. I walked around 4cm & 85% effaced. He was engaged, huge & I was miserable. I told my Dr over and over, "He's ready! I swear to you he's ready he just needs a jump start! For the love of GOD just break my water!!"....They did (3 days later) and I started to progress fast, until he got stuck because he was so big. I told the Dr, "I TOLD YOU HE WAS READY! We should've done this a long time ago!!!"....Yeah, I was mad. lol

Weeks/Fruit you're craving or size (I get confused)/Age of outside baby

Symptoms/rants/raves/randoms

QOTW: What's the strangest thing you've done/wanted to do in response to nesting?

38 weeks: so excited it's a proper full term figure! Ready or not, she's coming soon!
No idea of fruit anymore. Had a quick scan on Friday and she measured 6 pound 6. Small, which I'm happy with as long as she's healthy. Dr didn't have any concerns.
Symptoms wise I thought my bump had really dropped and I was getting pelvic pain but yesterday she climbed back up and kicked my ribs so no real joy there. A few BH but nothing to indicate labour is imminent. Not that I have any idea what that will feel like yet! So basically I feel ok but keep getting hot and dizzy because I'm pushing myself too far with cleaning and forget I need to relax.
QOTW: I don't think my nesting is strange. Loads of washing, even cleaned all of the blinds in the house which looks great! Huge car clean on the agenda tomorrow before a service, new tyres and the car seat installation. Excited to get the capsule in, just to see it all ready to go!!

Weeks/Fruit you're craving or size (I get confused)/Age of outside baby

40 weeks Sunday/pretty sure that's a watermelon

Symptoms/rants/raves/randoms

contractions every 10 mins apart for a few hours each evening...random contrax throughout day. Bloody show/cramps from Tues-Thurs. Anxiously awaiting her arrival (but pretty convinced it will be via induction during the week). Getting irritated at just about everything

QOTW: What's the strangest thing you've done/wanted to do in response to nesting?

Irritated that no one cleans up after themselves...I super cleaned on Tuesday. DH is already on leave and his FIL has been here all week. Coffee grounds on the counter, food left out, etc. DH thought my wanting the house clean was bc MIL was coming. Nope, I actually like a clean house and NEED it clean for when we bring baby home....just bc I can't keep it clean ever (thanks to his clutter) doesn't mean I don't want/wish it clean.

[kemdupuis]

38 weeks today. I feel like this child is the size of a Christmas turkey, but I think TD says pumpkin?

Had my appointment yesterday- LO is weighing in at an estimated 7lbs 13oz! I feel like he is definitely dropping, but not symptoms of labor yet. I am only 1cm dialated- and OB says she is pretty confident LO won't come this week. My back and hips and pelvis are all bothering me, but they have been for weeks. Feeling kind of nauseous in the mornings, and poops are definitely more regular, but that's about it.

I've just been cleaning everything. Blinds, windows, pressure washing the patio. Yesterday, DH was nesting pretty hardcore: we had started working on the garden when it began to rain. Rather than postpone until today, he insisted on finishing the job in the pouring rain. It was actually pretty fun, and was really hot yesterday, so the rain felt awesome.
ETA: spelling

38 weeks today! Baby pumpkin.
A lot of pelvic pressure going on and feeling super tired with no real appetite. Every time I eat I feel nauseous and like there's no room left.
I have had a weird organizing bug-not really nesting I don't think because I don't physically want to do anything. I made a monthly meal template and a day of the week cleaning list today. Hubby has been doing more of the physical nesting-he detailed my car today (which was badly needed), scrubbed the kitchen and sanitIzed the feeding stuff (bottles, pump). I'm feeling pretty lucky to have him
It's going to be pretty strange to not go to work tomorrow-but awesome!

[mathistm]

@jimbobcooter I can't even imagine-such a tease! I hope your soft induction does something for you!
