I'm still at 2cm. All day yesterday I got cluster contractions and she started moving a lot more. It felt like she was head butting my cervix. I couldn't walk, stand, breath. It hurt so bad I just knew I was going to go into labor. About 2 am it's stopped and I finally fell asleep. I woke up this morning feeling like someone took a sledge hammer to my insides. She was pushing so hard I had bloody discharge. She is measuring at almost 8 lbs now too. And I'm nervous about birthing a huge baby. I don't care if it's normal, that people do it every day, blah, blah, blah.... I don't want to be one of those people!!

Lol well I hope so.. but today I went to the hospital not for any pains or anything to worry abt. But my doc sent me for my last US for measurements and ti check my amniotic fluid, the position etc. Baby is head down which is the good thing and perfectly healthy but I'm 37 weeks and the baby is 7 lbs 10 oz.  And I still have a few more weeks! I gained 19 lbs. It's all belly. But that's my biggest baby. The other 2 were both 6 lbs and a few oz. I know it might be off but they were right with my other 2. Let's hope he is smaller then what he measured. And still measuring big since the 1st US. My disappointment was that absolutely no contractions came out on the monitor scan. WA wa wa.. lol I knew it but still had a but of hope that maybe I was having some painless one. But nothing lol

Wowsers! I couldn't do burpies even before I got pregnant. They're a killer. You're some woman. I don't know how you did all that at 37 weeks! So impressive. You're going to have one strong, healthy baby and you'll recover quickly afterwards. I was too tired and had cramps too bad to even get dinner ready today. My partner had not only cook when he got home after being out all day hiking with his sons but also had to get the groceries too. I felt so guilty :/

Thank you for the comments.. I was also hoping this would push me closer to delivering  but just like watermelon this baby just doesn't want to come out. He or she is way to comfy in there I guess. Lol so now maybe I'll try the opposite and eat instead of exercise. . The pineapple spicy food etc lol

I have tried everything, and this baby just doesn't want to come out. I've walked, squatts, bounced on the exercise ball, had sex, nothing is bringing her any closer to delivering. If anything I'm just wearing myself out.

I have had Braxton hicks, but not many contractions, especially from walking. I'm trying everything besides medication stuff to induce my labor. I'm almost 39 weeks now and I want my baby out! :(

You are truly amazing for doing all of that at this stage! Wish I had kept up my fitness routine throughout this pregnancy. Gosh, if I did all of that, I know for a fact Id be in labor by now! Haha. I can walk 2 blocks and have 10 contractions in 1 hour.
