Before going into labor

[MonicaL52713]

To already mommies, I'm 37 weeks I've been losing pieces of my mucus plug & last week I was a 1cm dilated idk if that's changed or not I'll know this Friday :) I had a question for you girls how did you feel before you went into labor, because lately I feel sick, exhausted, I feel so much pressure down there, I just want to sleep & also my ribs have been killing me :/ do you mind sharing your experience with me :)

[MonicaL52713]

No need to & thank you as well :) & also good luck to you too :)

[shaymich2015]

Thank you! I hope I helped with some of the things before labor and good luck! :)

[MonicaL52713]

Awwww that sounds horrible I hope you feel better :) & you don't get it in your 3rd trimester

[shaymich2015]

Yeah haha. The nausea vomiting has made me lose 35 pounds. I just lost another 3 pounds past three days only been able to eat 3 times and all of it has come back up. I was told it comes back in the third trimester. I'm two weeks away from my 3rd and I've only had two weeks of nothing!

[MonicaL52713]

I didn't have that in my whole pregnancy, no nausea or morning sickness now everything is getting to me lol I remember saying in the beginning like why does everyone complain about being pregnant, now I know why :P

[shaymich2015]

I know right! Totally jealous of those who haven't even had nausea! Haha

[MonicaL52713]

We know that every pregnancy has to be a little horrible lol if not then they're so lucky

[shaymich2015]

Haha yeah I've talked to a lot of women who have had babies and they tell me how easy it is and I've had numerous problems. I'm on 25 weeks as of tomorrow and already 61% effaced.

[MonicaL52713]

My sister has had two pregnancies & she tells me cmon it's not that hard lol yea that's easy for her to say since she's not pregnant one at the moment :p

[shaymich2015]

I agree! Haha nobody understands the struggle till you're in it lol

[MonicaL52713]

Our babies are so mean to us lol if it has to happen in public I try to make it seem normal when I cross my legs & sneeze or cough

[shaymich2015]

Haha I feel the same way! I walk around holding my vaj and my lower abdomen. And today on the ultrasound we saw his knuckles rubbing up against the opening back and forth pushing on it. Haha. If I have to sneeze or cough in public I run to the bathroom and i try not to laugh in public at all haha. I can't tell you how many times I have been sitting on my couch and looked over at my husband and said "I just peed myself" and get up slowly and try to hide it haha

[MonicaL52713]

I feel like she has, every time I get up I feel like I'm gonna pee myself lol even after I just finish peeing :p & I wish we could prevent that with every sneeze laugh & cough :p

[shaymich2015]

Your baby may have dropped. They say you get diarrhea before bc your body is cleaning itself out to make room for baby to come out. My baby has dropped and i literally go pee every 10 minutes or I pee on myself! Haha

[MonicaL52713]

I've noticed I've been using the restroom a lot more but not diarrhea

[shaymich2015]

Oh and I had diarrhea for two weeks straight right before. But honestly I never felt better through pregnancy till then!

[shaymich2015]

All my nausea went away completely in a days time. I was overly tired couldn't stay awake for more than 45 minutes and would sleep for 4 or 5 hours. My body started to hurt a lot. I wanted to eat everything that came my way. My head was killing me. I would get extremely dizzy. And moving would hurt so bad bc of the pressure! Even moving my leg a tiny bit would put me in pure discomfort..

I don't really have a story I felt absolutely normal nothing unusual from any other day being pregnant and I woke up 5 am on baby's due date i was busting to do a wee so I sat up and my waters broke although I thought i had an accident lol I ran to the toilet and it wouldn't stop dripping down my leg as I looked it definitely wasn't wee so I rang midwife and off to to he hospital. I had to be induced because he had poo'd inside. Nothing exciting haha but I didn't feel different before it all happened I hadn't even lost my mucus plug or anything.
