How are you feeling today? Eh. Fine, I guess. Huge and pregnant, but nothing really different.

How far along are you? 40 weeks; 5 days

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? 5 days past due date. 4 days until induction.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Nothing new - just the same stuff. Contractions off and on that never regulate, period type cramping, occasional lower back pain.

Confess: have you tried anything to... move things along? Not since last week. A few of my meals have been on the spicier side, but I really don't think that's going to be the kicker.

How are you doing on the emotional front? I just really hate people. I want to hermit in the house until this kid comes out because I'm so over the stares and comments - both from strangers and coworkers.

Rants/Raves/Vents? My stretch marks are multiplying by the day and they hurt SO SO bad.

GTKY: What is your favorite cocktail? Hendricks Martini with a Cucumber

Rants/Raves/Vents? I hurt so bad. His stupid spd can kiss my behind. I fully intend to ask at my appointment today if we can move c/s up to this Friday. They are predicting a 9+ pound baby so it's not like she would be too small of she came now.

GTKY: What is your favorite cocktail? Malibu rum and pineapple juice.

Confess: have you tried anything to... move things along? I took 2 3 hour walks. The first unintentionally by shopping for bulk items to stock up on and the other at the park with my DH and son. Trying to soak up the time with just us 3 until Evie arrives.

How are you doing on the emotional front? Some days I want her here now and others I am like oh I could wait a few more days. Lots of happy tears and nervous for sure.

Rants/Raves/Vents? Heartburn is awful and so are colds or illnesses during pregnancy. I feel like this last trimester I have been sick all the time.

I am loving my new hair style. I have less hot flashes since I had it chopped.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Lots of contractions, low cramping, back pain. It's been going on since Friday. I wish it meant something..

Confess: have you tried anything to... move things along? We had sex on Saturday night. It was more to reconnect than anything else.

How are you doing on the emotional front? Depends on the hour. Yesterday I woke up from a nap in a pretty big funk. Today I'm doing better. Just trying to focus on C and being the best I can for her.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Contractions Saturday night. But otherwise I'm closed up.

Confess: have you tried anything to... move things along? Nope. And I casually mentioned how pineapple can supposedly cause labor, so H wouldnt let me get the fresh pineapple I love this week. Whomp whomp.

How are you doing on the emotional front? Fine. I'm just tired.

Rants/Raves/Vents? I literally end up like a turtle on my back when I sleep.

Sex, walks, squatting. Will started all 3 on the daily (lucky H) starting today.

Much better. I'm at the point where I'm tired of being pregnant and ready to go through labor/first 6 weeks again

My ILs are here and doing so much to help clean/get ready/watch DS. I just hope she comes sooner so that they aren't sitting around waiting for long :/

Intermittent BH. But I've been getting those for about two weeks. Baby has dropped pretty low.

I seem to have entered a constant state of contraction. Super tight and uncomfortable for about thirty minutes straight, now. You've got to be kidding me.

[michelleca]

How are you feeling today? Gross!

How far along are you? Almost 37 weeks

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? Uhh, 23 till due date?

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? Plenty actually.. but they've been around for awhile so I don't think it means anything. Nauseous, cramps, mild contractions, loose stools (sorry..). Oh, and baby has "engaged" in my pelvis, another "symptom" that means nothing but discomfort for me.. 

Confess: have you tried anything to... move things along? No, the only thing I would do is sex, but really more because I want to and I feel bad that DH won't be getting any after baby for quite awhile. And postpartum sex was pretty awful as I recall..

How are you doing on the emotional front? Stressed. Nursery isn't done, which I'm ok with in that she won't be in it anyway, but the upstairs of my house is a construction zone which is incredibly difficult.

Rants/Raves/Vents? DS has been sleeping in my bed for weeks, since his room has turned into a storage room for everything that was in the nursery. It's going to be quite a struggle to either get him back into his bed, or sleep with a newborn in the room. This wasn't supposed to happen!

GTKY: What is your favorite cocktail? Mango swirl (mango daiquiri and pina colada swirled together). I like the very sweet / fatty drinks.

[isolemnlyswear]

So much nerve pain...so much lightning crotch....get out baby boy

[OrganicRosemary]

How are you feeling today? Annoyed, irritable, tired

How far along are you? 40w6d

Even better, how many days left till due date/c-section/induction/etc? +6 days since due date...no induction scheduled.

Symptom Spotting! Any signs or symptoms of impending labor? BH, some cramping, but it goes nowhere. Sadly.

Confess: have you tried anything to... move things along? Ridiculous dancing-search YouTube for "labor inducing dance" if you need a good laugh/workout and sex (separately...Lol)

How are you doing on the emotional front? Sad, happy, angry, irritated, pretty much all of them.

Rants/Raves/Vents? If one more person texts me, I'm going to lose it. There's no news to share people, when there is we'll share.

GTKY: What is your favorite cocktail? I'm more a dry red wine kind of girl-cabernet please.

[rachelilly23]
