I just posted the same thing. I went from 202 to 276...this weight is heavy. I'm so annoyed. 39 weeks and 5 days. I have an appointment tomorrow and hopefully I get good news. I havent even began to dialate. I still have a mucus plug. Honey, I am definitely right with you. Wish I knew what to do to help us, but I got nothing.
Thanks for the motivation
Hi there, Well, you are getting close for sure. The hardest time is the very end. I was 10 days late with my first.
Here's how I tried to look at it--- the time before the baby got here was the last 'me time' I'd have for a long time. Once the baby arrives, it is all about baby care and loving on baby. I couldn't relax whenever I felt like it, read a book from cover to cover, leisurely take a shower, watch a movie uninterrupted, etc. I was a mama 24/7 and had much to do with that responsibility.
so, this is it. Go get your nails and toes done. Go get a hair cut. Go the movies. Go to lunch with a friend. All of those things will be much more difficult when you have a baby.
You'll lose weight when you have the baby but for a lot of women it takes some time. I was tired. I had a hard time exercising. And I found my main exercise was putting the baby in the stroller and running/walking. I couldn't go to the gym anymore (I just didn't want to leave my baby in the gym daycare, germs galore in there). I had some light hand weights at home too. But it took me a bit of time to lose the weight. I gained like 45 pounds! That was hard.
Anyway,, hang in there. It will happen soon hon. peace
