When people ask me how I'm feeling my answer is always 'like I'm gonna pop' I went from losing weight, to not being able to gain weight, to gaining 9 pounds in three weeks. Most of it is from water retention. I can barely tell that I have feet because of how swollen they are. I even look like I've had a facelift because my forhead is swollen. I'm just done with this. I'll be so excited to get this over with and have my body back to myself again. On the bright side, the prenatal vitamins have given me kick *** nails, I've never had long nails until I got pregnant. And my hair actually has volume instead of just being flat flat flat. So  at least my upper body looks good! Haha

as of today i am 35+5. this heat wave on the east coast got me really good, I did not go out side for almost 7 days... its been SOOOO hot and humid... my goodness plus i have been having BH since 7/8 and this is week 3 of it and its getting more and more annoying and painful as time draws near. now i am having back pain with cramps along with the hardening of the belly....  i swear who ever said BH don't hurt must not have one that takes yur breath away and stops u in mid walk...lol Im ready for baby to b here but NOT ready to face the recovery process esp if I end up doing a repeat c-sec. that pain is not joke but it might b better this time around... at least i know what to expect... the first time was just a major shock to me and my poor body....... oh well guess we have to wait n see how baby decides she wants to come into this world...

37+4, been at the hospital for observation all day because my preeclampsia is worsening :( I've been on bed rest since last week because of it but my blood pressure just won't go down and I'm starting to pass protein in my urine. Doing a 24 hour urine collection to see how much protein I pass and based on that we'll see if it's time to induce. I'd like to let little guy cook a bit longer and go into labor naturally but we'll see :/

I am 34+6 and tired! Had an appointment today and looks like baby is head down, which is nice. I'm itching, my legs are restless, I'm huge, my back and feet usually hurt, I'm swollen, and it's almost impossible to get comfortable. But I'm doing okay. Mostly I'm bummed because I don't have a job and none of my friends showed up for my baby shower. We got some baby clothes but there is still a lot of stuff we need. Just no money.

35 weeks and 5 days. I'm hoping the next few weeks fly by.. I don't mind waiting as long as if the weeks don't drag. Been having a lot of back pain and pressure in my pelvis. Baby girl still hasn't dropped or turned over yet that I know of, hoping she does soon though.

I am 36 + 6, and so far it's been okay. I have had a lot of pressure in my pelvic that sometimes feels like she's going to fall right out. LOL I started having Braxton hicks as of last weeks. I am looking at 20 more days! I am getting nervous and excited!

Same here I'm 35 1/2 weeks and hope baby comes a week or 2 early. Don't really wanna wait for the  40 week mark  or longer. It's exciting to see the days go by the quicker the better so I can see my little one . :)

Really suffering.  I'm 37+4. I'm dying for her to come out.  England is having a heat wave so I'm not used to this heat.
