Wednesday Weeklies 12/8

[NicoleW09]

38 weeks here and let me say....I'm miserable. I was supposed to have my appt today, but they rescheduled it to tomorrow because my midwife called in this morning. I keep having contractions that will stay frequent for a few hours and then seemingly go away for an hour or two, and then start back up. My back is literally killing me when I'm having contractions. It feels like hardcore af cramps that at times go around to the front and all the way down into my pelvis. I wish she would stop teasing me and I could go into labor so I can have her. If I'm still dilated to two tomorrow I'm going to scream. :( lol. I can't eat without feeling sick, I can't sleep at all, and I'm so nauseated. I was looking forward to my appt today because I've been in so much pain the last two days that now I'm just annoyed and angry it got moved. I don't want to go to L&D the day before my appt bc I'm sure they'll just send me home anyways...I just hurt. :(

I hope everyone else is doing better!

Update: had my OB / NST today. Monitor said I was having contractions but I didn't feel a thing. No dilation or thinning. Doc said he doubts labor will occur anytime soon. My labs all came back normal, so I am not preeclampsic (yet).

My prediction...Caralea and I will be the last two standing!

39 weeks!  Ah, there are a lot of us having babies now. As of last Friday I was a "solid" 4cm and 75% surely he can't hang out much longer I was dilated to 2 at 32 weeks, 3.5 at 36 weeks so we are making some SLOW, slow progress.  I have been having lots of contractions, lots of mucus, lots of everything, just nothing that says - go to the hospital now.  I hope I get that feeling in time.  My right hip is killing me though - my first real complaint of pain this entire pregnancy so I think it's time this little man comes.  It feels like the hip is popping out of its socket everytime I walk and the stairs are worse.  So I am ready, whenever he is.  Soon please!

37 WEEKS TODAY!! I finally made it to full term, but who cares- she is SO not ready to meet us yet.. and after the month I have had, I dont blame her. I got sick druing thanks giving, that cold was in the chest and throat... then this last weekend I was sick with food poisoning... now this week I have a sinus infection from HELL! I also had a falling out with my mother- she and I havent spoke or got along in 2 weeks. I am only getting 6-7hrs of sleep if lucky.

I have been seeing my chiropractor on a regular basis, so that has helped tons with the hips and back pains. He says my right leg is appearing shorter- cause that side of my pelvis is apparently preparing more for her decend. She is infact head down, but no contractions what so ever!!  I am not getting sick of being pregnant at all.. I am just sick of being sick and never feeling like I get enough sleep. I am guessing I will have my January baby and nothing much will happen during the holidays.

For my family's sake I really hope I can get this cold to go away and in the next few weeks catch up on some sleep- as I am so adjitated at the littlest things. I feel sorry for my kids not having mom 100%, but since hubby and I work opposites- I am running on fumes.

3 more weeks till I am due and then she will come soon after I am betting.

Hope everyone gets some ease on the pain here soon and gets to meet there babys!!

37 1/2 today and feeling like I may never show signs of impending labor. It seems my baby bump has gotten smaller; everyone at work says no, I've just dropped and the baby has shifted position. I can't really sleep and the heartburn has gotten worse. My hands and ankles (or should I say 'cankles') are very swollen. But no contractions, no pelvic pressure, no dilation. I stop working after Friday and now I'm thinking I may be sitting around and twiddling my thumbs until January! OB appt is Friday, hopefully there will be no climb in my BP or proteinuria. Can't believe how many babies are being born!! Wow.
