A Little TMI but....

[Shelsi]

Ok I'm not totally sure what to make of this. Basically I switched vitamins on Sunday. I noticed I was finally going to the bathroom regularly again as soon as I switched which was a relief. They are the Rainbow Lite one a day. Well today, 2 days later, I am going to the bathroom, #2, A LOT. It's not loose or anything like that but I've seriously gone AT LEAST 7 times today and it's, um, usually quite a bit

Ok so is this the new vitamins or is my body cleaning itself out? I checked myself and my cervix is still hard to reach...so I'm pretty sure it's still posterior although it's made slight progress towards anterior in the last few days. Wouldn't it at least already be anterior if labor was imminent?

I've been telling this baby for months now that they couldn't be born until my mom arrived and she got here this afternoon. OTOH this would be the worst night to go into labor because I only got about 2 hours of very broken sleep last night and I've been a walking zombie all day. I could barely grocery shop this evening let alone do any sort of physical work.

Oh and I've def passed some sort of threshold. My hormones are weird. I'm moody and feel very quiet. Like an inner quiet that I almost never have. My face broke out a little which it hasn't done since the first trimester and I only ever break out due to hormones. Also at my appt today my mw's didn't even want to set up an appt for next week and kept saying that I could call them tonight if needed. They didn't say they thought it would be tonight but I guess that was the implication I got. Although it was a very quick prenatal today and they don't do cervical checks or anything like that so it would be just their intuition.

What do you think? Am I just getting jumpy? Is it in my head? Or in my vitamins? LOL.

I've been far more regular and copious myself over the past week... is it in your head? I can't say... my mom told me that she never had loose movements just that she was a bit more regular and frequent. The vitamin switch may have done it or the baby may have dropped putting more pressure on that part of your body making it easier to go. I know I'm not helping... the way I'm looking at it lately is when I do finally go into labor, I'll know. Until then I am trying not to stress over every different thing my body does because I'm literally driving myself batty. :

Oh and fwiw my cervix started out pretty posterior when my body decided to cleanse itself... it's definitely making lots of progress towards anterior the past couple days.

I'm trying soooo hard not to make myself go crazy but it's hard lol. Esp when I've got my mom and dh watching me like a hawk. Even at work everyone the other day was freaking out about "what if you go into labor right now!?" I feel very watched I guess. And then the mw not even wanting to make an appt for next week seemed odd to me...I made one anyways though.

This is so much harder when you're not just hooked up to an IV pitocin drip. I've never done this natural thing and it's really nerve racking!

I think I sort of want to go into labor tonight because I don't feel like going to work tomorrow! LOL.
