How are you feeling today? Completely wrecked. We went to an awards ceremony last night, and while I took it as easily as I possibly could, I am beat. My back is killing me and I am just plain exhausted. Mr. Pugs had to physically help me get up out of bed this morning and then I came into work about two hours late.

How far along are you? 38;5

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 9!!! (till Due Date)

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away?
Not much new right now. I feel more downward pressure and more heaviness. Oh! And a lot more of those lovely cervix punches. I think he's working toward becoming a boxer.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor?
Contractions! Some are even quite time-able - but they are almost always spurred by walking or especially driving/riding in a car... So I'm not putting too much stock in them. They always fizzle off as soon as I reach a point of rest.

Also diarrhea is pretty much a daily occurrence for me at this point. Fun!

How are you doing on the emotional front? I'm just tired. I've given up on trying to figure out when he's going to come - I'm trying to find my zen and just accept that he'll arrive when he decides he wants to and not a second before. I'll let you know how that goes... heh

Rants/Raves/Vents?

FFS I am sick of people commenting on my appearance. I had someone this morning tell my I hadn't dropped yet... Funny - because my doctor, my pelvis, and my innards all seem to disagree with you - but thanks for commenting on the physical appearance and location of my UTERUS.

Also: I will work until I deliver. I will work until I deliver. I will work until I deliver. I will work until I deliver. I will work until I deliver. I will work until I deliver. I will work until I deliver. I will work until I deliver.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? It's pretty cool growing a human. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself what a remarkable thing it is that I'm able to do as a woman and how cool it is that we can do something like create and sustain a separate life within us.

[katespade]

How are you feeling today? Tired. I've been working a lot lately. Saturday was the only day I didnt go to work (I have my main job and then I tutor PT), and that was a busy day, so I just feel like I got no break this weekend.

How far along are you? 35w3d

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 32 days until the due date!

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away? Mostly I am dealing with heartburn, feet in the ribs, and pelvic pain. It feels a little bit like my pubic bone is going to split in half.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Negative, although I am experiencing more discharge than usual and keep panicking that its my water trickling out.

How are you doing on the emotional front? I'm fried and easily annoyed. I got really upset at my mom on Saturday for agreeing with the hospital tour guide who gave me crap about wanting pacifiers for the baby when she's born.

Rants/Raves/Vents? The hospital tour was kind of awful. The woman was just really, really bad at conveying information to us. She kept contradicting herself (like, she told us that mom cant carry baby out of the hospital, baby has to be in a carseat, and when a dad asked if he could carry the baby because they have a convertible seat that cant be removed, she said moms carry the baby out of the hospital in the wheelchair.) I got really irritated and frustrated, because I was spending my Saturday on a tour where we werent getting what we needed to know.

But in the most exciting news, our friends had their baby yesterday, and I keep joking to my H that it is our baby's boyfriend. He is so effing cute, and I cant wait to meet him. And it makes me excited to meet OUR baby!

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? Its a tie between feeling her move and react to me/sounds and how my cats have reacted. One of them really loves my belly and the other is my guardian. My guardian girl has started sleeping right up against me again (she did that all of first trimester, like, it started before I even knew I was pregnant and she was in my business every night up until my MS settled itself), so I wonder if she knows something I dont, like maybe I'm going to go into labor soon.

One of my pugs has been doing this! He usually sleeps right next to MH and always has - but for the past few nights he is RIGHT up on me and by my belly. I think he knows something.

There's a cat bed at the end of our bed (because spoiled kittens) and since November, she has either slept in the cat bed or right next to it if her brother is hogging it.  Friday night she started sleeping against me. Last night, she literally came up when I went to bed and slept against my back/next to my face the entire night.  She didnt even get up when I got up to pee- she stayed in her spot.  She finally got herself up about 20 minutes before my alarm went off, which is her usual "HEY. MOM. GIMME FOOD" time.

LOL. Someone told me I was "glowing" this morning and I just wanted to punch them.

[chatterbox]

How are you feeling today?
Horrible! I've been so sick all week. I went in to my OB today and was prescribed some antibiotics so hopefully I will get some relief soon!

How far along are you?
26 + 3

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 25

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away?
Lots of cramping from all the coughing.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor?
I thought I lost my mucus plug but I had a cervical check and the dr said my cervix is still long so it was likely just more blood.

How are you doing on the emotional front? Ok. Definitely hormonal.

Rants/Raves/Vents?
Someone just asked if I was having twins. I got asked that all the time with DD but this is the first for this pregnancy.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy?
Baby kicks!

[isolemnlyswear]

How are you feeling today? Exhausted.

How far along are you? 37w 3d

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 19 days till due date

Anything new cropping up? Pooping more frequently which is a nice change.

Anything fading away?

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? A ton of BH contractions and overall just low cramping. But labor is still a long ways away. I just hope all of this is helping us move towards labor.

How are you doing on the emotional front? I'm trying to remain very calm. I know from last time that getting worked up inhibits labor so I'm just trying to be very whatever will happen will happen.

Rants/Raves/Vents? Everyone is sick, I'm sick, C is sick, my parents, sister...everyone. I need this all to go away asap!!

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy?

Hmm... I guess the movement. I'm not a big "I love being pregnant" pregnant person. I was the same with DD.

[arbe]

Today is my last day of work mostly because I cant stand being around people anymore

[sdchick]

How are you feeling today? As good as can be expected.

How far along are you? 37w6d

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 15 days till due date

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away?  Nope.  Heartburn still raging and no baby.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor?  Nope, but I'm all about the symptom spotting.  Every twinge and I'm on high alert.

How are you doing on the emotional front?  Better now that my doc reconfirmed that baby is growing well.  I am having the what I assume are normal worries for a 2+ mom.  I am concerned about how L will feel about the new baby, I'm sad for him not being the only kid anymore.  And, I know it seems weird, but I worry that I won't love #2 as much.  My 2+ mom friends assure me they had the same thoughts and it's normal...but still...

Rants/Raves/Vents? See above

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy?  Nothing.  I love the outcome, but I hate being pregnant.

[halfahippy]

How are you feeling today? Tired and sore, but fine

How far along are you? 37w5d

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 10 days until c/s! due to stubborn breech baby

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away? The constipation is getting worse. I've been mixing Miralax into prune juice and it's not helping. I might take a couple days' break from my iron pills to reset myself. I really don't want to go into surgery like this. Any other suggestions?

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Nothing. Every time I get a BH contraction I freak out that I might be starting labor, because at this point I don't want to. It is kind of nice having a plan on when this is going to happen for childcare and days off, so of course I don't want anything to start and screw up my plans.

How are you doing on the emotional front? Ok. Scared about the c/s. But I think it's mostly fear of the unknown. I've been reading a ton online and asking everyone that's had one about their experience.

Rants/Raves/Vents? I know I'll appreciate the days DH gets off after the baby because he's working so much now, but omg I hate it right now! He's had 1 day off in like 2 weeks and might not have another one before we have the baby. I'm so tired of doing everything at home by myself but I don't have a choice.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? I've had a lot of fun talking to DS about the baby coming. He's not even 2 yet so I doubt he really gets it, but he likes to hug and pat my belly and talk to the baby. It's really sweet.

[paloslee]

How are you feeling today?

dont feel good today. im tired, my head hurts and I have a cramp in my hip

How far along are you?

37weeks 1 day

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc?

18 days, I think.

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away?

same ole

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor?

nope, just BH. nothing major

How are you doing on the emotional front?

not really emotional these days

Rants/Raves/Vents?

i am glad that all the baby's stuff is ready to go

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy?

I actually love my belly. I might miss it a tiny bit.

[paloslee]

arbe me too. I have not felt much nesting. I just want to lay on the couch and eat sweets.

[rachelilly23]

How are you feeling today? Pretty good, actually. Rested and my legs aren't as sore as they were all weekend after that 2 mile walk Friday.

How far along are you? 36 weeks

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 28 until due date, 21 until induction.

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away?
Heartburn has settled down. I wonder if she's dropping... My feet and hands are so swollen, it looks pretty terrible. I also have a rash where my wedding band goes, so I'm currently bare-finger.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? BHs are picking up. Diarrhea is a several times a day thing for me, and it has been for a couple weeks :/ Yuck.

How are you doing on the emotional front? I've had some crazy episodes of crisis management going on. Too many things to get into, and this isn't really the best place to vent about it all, but it all has me maxed out emotionally. I'm so over bullshit.

Rants/Raves/Vents? Baby girl needs to stop poking her head and her ass out my sides. Not ok.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? This is a tough one for me. I don't really enjoy pregnancy at all, but with this one, I really appreciate that the hair on my legs has had such slow growth. It's the small things, people...

[zombiesquad]

How far along are you?
38+6

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc?
8 days until due date and/or induction.

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away?
TMI, but stools are getting a little looser. More period-like cramping and rectal pressure. 

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor?
See above. And dilated to a 3 so hopefully that's a little promising.

How are you doing on the emotional front?
Super irritable. Trying to be patient with MH and DD though.

Rants/Raves/Vents?
As with many of us, I'm tired of the questions. I'm tired of being asked what his name is. I'm tired of people gasping at how big I am (I'm actually smaller this time than I was with DD). I'm tired of being asked how I feel. The next time someone asks, instead of saying I'm good, they're going to get all the gory details.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy?
I thought about that the other day and the only thing I could think of was feeling him move. It actually makes me smile and I think I'll miss it. Everything else about pregnancy can go kick rocks.

[cinnamonsmiles]

How are you feeling today?
Really tired and overwhelmed at the amount of cleaning my house needs. And thesis work, ugh.

How far along are you?
38 weeks today!

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc?
14 for EDD

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away?
Was really afraid I was going into labor on Sat night (cramping, back-to-back BH, backache, feeling sick) but it all went away after I went to bed.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor?
None other than consistent BH at night. Still waiting for the plug to start to dissipate.

How are you doing on the emotional front?
I'm starting to get really short with people and not care. I've taken some out on DS and I feel horrible for it though :/

Rants/Raves/Vents?
Thesis papers are for the birds.

GTKY: What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy?
Movement for sure! Last night she had hiccups for a while and I realized I would really miss feeling that private moment once she is outside.

[michelleca]

How are you feeling today? Ick. Feeling pretty nauseous right now.

How far along are you? 34+5

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? I have to do math?! Hmm.. 37 days. I had DS 19 days early though, so I'm thinking it could be anytime between now and April haha.

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away? TMI - but loose BM, several times a day. Crampiness, laziness (ok, that one's not new), sprinkled in with urges to nest. Also, nauseous and sometimes I have a hard time controlling my body temperature.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Oops, I shoved everything above.

How are you doing on the emotional front? Meh, only moderately unstable. If there are any country music fans around, I heard Dan and Shay's new one "from the ground up" and got pretty teary.

Rants/Raves/Vents? The nursery is not painted yet. Cue freak out.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? hmm. I like maternity pants. And the wonderfulness that is thicker hair. Oooh, and for some reason my leg hair stopped growing, which is great since the urge to shave my legs has also stopped.

[peachesncream]

How are you feeling today? Not too bad. Exhausted... was up late sick and then up every hour or so to pee.

How far along are you? 38w3d

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? Due date is 11 days away

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away? This kid is having a constant dance party. It is super freaky to look at from the outside... it was never like this with DD. I have given up trying to tell if I am having BH, real contractions, or a uterus rave.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Nope

How are you doing on the emotional front? Pretty well. Coming more to terms with impending arrival, starting to actually make preparations...

Rants/Raves/Vents? I just can't wait to be done working for 3 months.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? I am really thankful that both last time and this time I am not TOO miserable at the end. Reading what some of you are going through puts things into perspective for me. I am really not too uncomfortable considering.

[jocountry]

How far along are you? 39 weeks

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc?
7 days to EDD.

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away? Way more pressure, BH getting more severe.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? See above. I do believe I will have a kid soon!

How are you doing on the emotional front? Actually, doing fine.

Rants/Raves/Vents? I caught another cold this week. Ugh.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? Favorite: there better be a tiny person at the end of this. And PP said it, I am really not too uncomfortable, and feel terrible for some of you that are so miserable. Unfavorite: I dislike being pregnant. I'm done.

[jewel441]

How are you feeling today? Pretty awful and wiped. Better than I did this morning and I haven't thrown up since we got to the hospital (after puking just about the whole way there, so fun). Glad to be home and also feeling really grateful and a little guilty about my incredibly understanding job.

How far? 37 on Thursday

Due: 3/17, Version: Thursday!!

Anything new cropping up? The side and back pain is out of control. Apparently nausea is back and worse than first tri... Although I kinda think the pain was a factor... Hopefully it won't stick around. Mostly I'm just uncomfortable

Symptom spotting: none... Was having some contractions from the dehydration but fairly mild and stopped when I got fluids

Emotional front: the past 2 days were really rough. The pain was so bad and I kept thinking I know I'm not in labor but I wish I was (obviously I want baby to cook a bit longer in the rational part of my brain) so then I was telling myself the pain was from her flipping. So it's worth while. But we had a quick peak at the hospital today and her head is in the exact same spot it has been, so I guess it was all in my head... I really want her to flip or I hope the version is successful. But I also just want be done I can't imagine being preg for another month... I don't think I am willing to be induced for anything other than a medical necessity but I am just not in a good space and i just want to feel better.

Rants/Raves/Vents: work has been incredibly understanding. I mean it's there policy, we have unlimited paid sick time. I just don't want to be abusing it... I am not going in any more and I feel like I am just doing less and less and I guess I just feel a little bad but also am just grateful that I work there. If I didn't I think there is no way I would be able to work until baby.

GTKY: that is a tough one today. But I liked when I had a cute bump and I like ppl being really nice to me. Also H treats me like a princess and that doesn't suck.

[songbirdsinging55]

How are you feeling today? Sore and also motivated to get things done. I slipped down some stairs this weekend and ended up with some contractions throughout the weekend. Luckily I only landed on my tailbone.

How far along are you? 37 weeks in 2 days

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? At this point, not very sure.

Anything new cropping up? So many Charlie horses! In the legs and feet!
Anything fading away? I wish the heartburn would.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Lots of BH and

How are you doing on the emotional front? Nervous, not for labor but for the idea of having 2 children. I am also worried. I have so much housework to finish. We finally moved things around and have the nursery almost completely set up.

Rants/Raves/Vents? Ice cream seems to be helping the heartburn.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? So far, I am really enjoying how my son reacts to my growing belly and visible kicks. He points to my belly and says baby and gives the bump a kiss and hug. Also I love feeling her move around. It is the coolest and weirdest thing.

[nexttonormal]

How are you feeling today? Honestly, a little defeated and overall just blah.

How far along are you? 39 weeks today

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 7 days until due date, but if we schedule an induction, 14 or so...

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away? Nothing really fading away, just the constant pressure every time I stand up.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Nope, my body doesn't get the memo lol

How are you doing on the emotional front? Eh, I'm ok, still crying over little things... and last night I kept sniffling because I felt guilty for having another baby and taking one-on-one time away from my girls.

Rants/Raves/Vents? When I told my mom that my appt yesterday showed zero progress, and that if we DO induce, it would be until 41 weeks, her response was, "oh, no, you can't have the baby on 3/9, that's such an awful birthday to have, so hard to remember!". Needless to say, I was pissed and upset.
Also, another vent, I am getting more and more stretchmarks by the hour, which is doing a toll on my body image. I never had stretchmarks with the first 2, so it's hard to wrap my head around it.

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy?
I really like to see my older girls feel the baby move, and actually get excited about it. This pregnancy hasn't been very easy, so it's hard to think of my favorite thing about it... maybe the extra back and foot rubs I get from MH haha

[FunniBunni]

How are you feeling today? Meh. Been up since 2am.

How far along are you? 35+3

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 32 til due.

Anything new cropping up? Anything fading away? Not really.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? No.

How are you doing on the emotional front? Tired of all the things.

Rants/Raves/Vents? My mom got my car towed by parking it in a no parking zone. I'm super irritated she hasn't apologized yet. She paid the fees at least, but hassled me because my hardcopy of my proof of insurance was expired, and the tow yard wouldn't take a digital copy. Grrrrrrrrr. I'm sorry, is standing around here difficult for YOU while we wait for proof to be faxed over???

GTKY: As we approach the final days and weeks... and are likely all at the end of our ropes... What has been one of your favorite things about Pregnancy? I'm trying so hard to think of something positive. But TBQH, this pregnancy has just been a means to an end. I suppose the u/s have been nice. But I'm not sad AT ALL about leaving this part of my life behind. Soon, I'll just be able to focus on my family growing in years, instead of numbers.

[Deleted]

I keep getting these random, sharp, needle-like pains where there should never ever be needles or needle-like pains! LOL. Wondering what it is... Dr. Google says everything from pinched nerves to dilation pains. Anyone have any thoughts/having the same?

LOL.

None in the nipples, yet. Definitely smack dab in the middle of my cervix. They're super sharp, specific, and... needle-like. Pregnancy is so weird.

Where?

I get them in my nipples and crotch.

LOL.

None in the nipples, yet. Definitely smack dab in the middle of my cervix. They're super sharp, specific, and... needle-like. Pregnancy is so weird.

So... like lightning crotch? Or is it more subtle?

Sounds like lightning crotch or baby pinching a nerve maybe?

I felt something like this right after I read the "your baby this week" fact that our babies have fingernails.  THEY HAVE FINGERNAILS AND THEY ARE SCRATCHING THEIR WAY OUT!!!

More subtle and more painful - and even more instant. It's weird, yo.

ETA: By more subtle, I mean it's an even smaller pinpoint of pain. It also doesn't double me over like Lightning Crotch... It's just different.

I'm special, guys.
