2WW... again?!

For many of us we may have more or less time. But for me... I feel like I'm in the 2WW again! I'm not quite yet 38 weeks but I know once I hit it......... the torture of waiting will begin!

So how is everyone feeling? Waddling? Cravings/aversions?

And has anyone had their baby yet?!


I'll tell you what- I can barely lift my legs up onto an ottoman without shooting pain in the nether-regions, if you catch my drift. I waddle like a pro. But thankfully I still don't have any water retention (swelling). That or I'm in complete denial! Ha ha!

i am ready to be done!!  i have had a lot of swelling the last couple weeks, and i am definatley waddling.  i have so much pressure and am so tired of peeing, even though i am actually going to the bathroom less because i just treated a uti, that was the absolute worse, having the UTI.  i was at 1cm dialated 2 weeks ago, i am now 38w, and haven't been check again because i don't want to be discouraged if there is no change! i have been feeling a lot of cramping, this is my first baby, is the cramping feeling actually contractions??  the only time they have been painful was when i had the uti.  since this is my first i nothing to compare it to, so i'm just wondering if i should be feeling something more intense then mild cramping?  i finally packed my hospital bag lastnight!  i can't decide what outfit to brign him home in, so i brought a couple.  BF still hasn'tr put carseat in the car, even though i've been asking for days.  i think he is in denial that it is right around the corner.

i am begging this baby to come. I will be 39 weeks on tuesday and my whole body hurts. I have so much pelvic pressure it kills to walk. I am alot of bracton hicks and period cramps to. On tuesday i was checked and i was only 1 1/2 dilated. I am hoping this tuesday I will be more. I am just so done but this is my first baby so I am alittle nervous I won't know if I am in real labor.

I get tons of period-like cramps and braxton hicks. I go up the stairs really slow and by the time I make it upstairs where my room is I have to catch my breath. Baby kicks more through the day then at night now so I'm hoping she'll be that good when she's here. I am starting to waddle and I walk with my legs more spread apart lol. Feels like rolly polly ollie. Since my baby's crib is in my room I wake up in the middle of the night just looking at it and can't sleep thinking about when I go into labor. I recently started leaking colostrum. Believe it or not I never even knew what that was with my other two kids. I didn't have my mother or anyone around when I became a mom and the second time around we still lived in different states. Now that I'm older and more experienced I'm enjoying this pregnancy a lot more and learning things I never even knew with my previous pregnancies. It is a challenge to get out of bed and in bed lately and also putting on my shoes and jeans. I'm just so ready to have my princess any day now! (I wish).... I hope all of you are doing great. Best of luck and blessings to all of you in L&D!!! Cheers to a quick delivery and healthy baby/s!
