40 weeks...who else is here and tired of it? - Page 2

I hope you both ladies soon go into labor! It can't be much longer...hang in there....sending lots of good vibes your way

Had my second night of prodromal labor last night...fun.

[organicmom3]

ugh....the contractions are less predictable today with timing...but A LOT more INTENSE!!!!

[gardenmommy]

Nothing happening here. I am just feeling so emotional and out of sorts. I'm fed up with my older DS and his attitude toward me. My MW stopped by today on her way to another mom's post-partum visit. She thinks baby is definitely lower than last week (better be after all those ctx!), and bigger, even though I'm still only measuring 37 weeks. Anyway, I'm hoping that baby decides to meet us really soon.

organicmom, I hope that you are soon holding your baby!

[organicmom3]

Still here....unbelievable...the cntrx were so strong last night...just not all that close...about 10 minutes on average...but just by average... still there this morning just not as strong now.

sorry your having issues with DS garden mommy! Thankfully both my kids are overboard with excitement and have been treating me VERY well despite my crankiness!

I am measuring small too, 36 at 41 weeks.

How are you guys doing? I went shopping today with DD2. We bought some nursing bras (hope I like them!), some Easter dresses, and some sandals. She had a great time just hanging out with me, but I was totally worn out by the time we got home. I also finally remembered to get the last few items for the birth pool, so I guess now I am all together. My feet look like someone inflated them; wish that would just go away, I am SO sick of it. Otherwise, just hanging out.

Still here....I had to buy bras this week too....though I already had some! Problem is I grew out of them already! Unbelieveable....never got this big with the first two....hubby wonders if it's because we eat so much better now...I don't know, but I'm almost embarrased by the sizes!

Anyway, had a good day yesterday, though still no baby....cleaned the kitchen really really well and scrubbed the bathroom floor on hands and knees...I don't know if it was a 'burst of energy' or not, but doing things that needed done and finally at least had 'some' energy to do it...the bathroom floor was more or less that get down on all fours theory.....still no baby though.....contractions seemed stronger last night but were even more irregular than they have been...everywhere from 1 1/2 min in between to over 30! I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard.....
dh took some time off between the due date (3/23) and Easter so he could make sure our kids could get to all the holy week services at our church and spend time with baby....his work shifts start up again on the 6th.....I'm beginnning to think he won't have so much time with the baby and I'll be stuck without help if baby doesn't come soon. Of course I'll have my other kids to help, but no hubby...hubby will be at work depressed at not being able to be at home...... sorry, guess I'm having a pity me moment...I should just focus on the positive........

[gardenmommy]

Well, at least your bathroom is clean, lol! I have put off doing any cleaning, because I just don't want to deal with the energy expenditure. Went to church this morning, which is always an exercise in fun, since DS2 will not go into his class. He is usually pretty good in the service, but today, for some reason, he was feeling pretty ornery and just wanted to throw his cars at the people in front of us.

organicmom, I hope your ctx. turn into labor today!

40 weeks today. I've been having contractions since 6:30-ish this morning but nothing super regular. My mw thinks I will have this baby sometime tonight. We shall see!

Joining the club. 40 weeks today. On and off "false" labor had me 3-4 cm with a bulging bag of water as of Friday, but he's high and the midwife said his head is tilted.

So I'm doing exercises and taking positions to try to open the left side of my pelvis, but apparently 2 1/2 days of that has done nothing but make my hips sore (especially the curb-walking -- ouch!).

I think I'm going to do absolutely no positioning things tonight. I need a break, some time to not obsess.

Let's see how well that goes....

I was measuring right on (36 at 36 weeks) up to my 37 week appointment, when I dropped to 33 because he dropped. But at 38 weeks, I was up to 39 because he'd gotten high and tilted.

I am 'due' today fwiw. I would be fine if I didn't have to work I think. But work sucks right now I just want to be comfortable at home. I only work 3 days a week but I have been so uncomfortable this weekend! The chairs here suck and my back is just killing me! Hopefully I won't be back for another weekend I would be fine being pregnant into April a little I just don't want to go into work!

I have been having a lot of contractions and cervical pressure tonight and last week I had some bouts of prodromal labor so it should happen soon I am sure.

[organicmom3]

I 'think' my time is almost up! Perhaps today? Last night was the worst....but surely must be leading somewhere....went from almost 10 minutes apart , very intense for almost 4 hours.....to .....sleep.....to up for an hour and a half 3 and a half minutes apart , not intense....... to a little bit more sleep......then up again with irregular stuff but much more intense again for a couple hours now...seems to be gettin closer!
