June 1st-Daily update thread

[JustVanessa]

Hey all....its June, we should start an update thread.

How y'all doing?

I thought for sure yesterday was the day for no known reason but I woke up this morning still pregnant I am now going to ignore that feeling if it comes again.
I am 38 weeks today.

I'm so excited it's officially June! I can't believe how fast time has gone by - and now I am ready! Maybe the new moon on the 3rd will bring some babies our way!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend - we just had some fantastic oatmeal banana waffles with strawberries! :

Obviously still here! Having many more cx's than I've had with previous pregnancies, but no bloody show. As soon as I have that, baby will be here within 24-48 hours. Makes going to the bathroom exciting every time? LOL!

[neomia]

I'm in the any day camp! So far, though, nothing to report but lots of BH, sometimes with minor pain. And my pubic pain has reached a pretty awful state. So keep your fingers crossed for me I go on time. I had some thicker discharge the other day and got all excited. Only in a pregnancy thread would you see that. But it totally went away.

Today I have reached the safe zone. Meaning, if I go into labor I can go to the birth center instead of the hospital. (The center only allows 37 weeks through the end of 41st week). Today I am 37 weeks.

I got all of my final lab work back last Tuesday and everything was perfect. No gbs, thank goodness! And she even said my iron was up from the last time, even though I haven't specifically tried to do anything for it (it was acceptable before). As a long term vegetarian and 6 year vegan, I always love hearing that my iron is good.

So, despite the discomforts of heartburn, restless sleep, being big, squished stomach, swelling feet, severe distraction at work, hot flashes, am I forgetting anything? I'm happy. Now that we are term, the baby could come any day, but I'm requesting either Father's Day or Solstice.

My last day of work is June 6th- that will be wonderful.

I'd have bet money on 38 weeks, so yesterday... and here we are. Nothing.

[balancedmama]

I am 37w1d and pretty much NOTHING to report here. Baby isn't engaged and doesn't seem too ready yet. I would like a little bit longer anyway to prepare. DD came at 40+5 so I don't expect anything soon.

[anjasma]

Lost the mucous plug this morning, and having bloody show with mild ctx. I feel like things are petering out, which is discouraging, but I know they can pick up quickly. Still, something is happening!

[*Karen*]

38w4d here. My BP is really going up, so I hope this baby decides to come soon. I don't want to eat anything at all, so maybe that is a sign?

[Nimbus]

I'm 36w6d today. Had my ds at 37w3d and am wishing for the same timing, but I have absolutely no signs of anything happening. Just hoping to make the time pass by quickly.

Thought things might have been getting started last night. Had pretty regular but very mild cx from about 9 until I went to sleep. Got woken up a couple times by stronger cx. But when I woke up this morning, saw it was light out and wasn't having any more cx, figured it was all just practice.

[N8'sMom]

Nothing.....just really uncomfortable. Still having some contractions (BH).
Pubic pain...more like pressure.
I think I'm gonna go lay out and get some sun today.

I had a dream last night that I was shopping for crib sheets, and I decided to put my baby into a stroller instead of carrying her in my uterus. I kept thinking about how great she looked, full term just like a newborn should, and dreading having to put her back in. Very strange.

So I'm suffering from a cold, for the first time in well over a year. I was so happy to have avoided catching a cold throughout this pregnancy, when it seemed like everyone around me was getting sick, and here I am at 38 weeks, sick as a dog. I was hoping to have this baby ASAP, but now I'm grateful that she's staying put while I recover from this cold. I can't imagine dealing with labor while sick.

What does reduced discharge mean?

I've had a fair amount of discharge throughout my pregnancy. The last few weeks, I've been checking the tp when wiping to see if there's any blood or mucous. I've had none of either and now am having very little of the regular discharge. What gives?!? Does this mean anything?

[ladyelms]

39 weeks tomorrow. This morning was the first time I noticed low-down cramping pain w/ ctx's, and lots of pelvic floor pressure that accompanied them--definitely a bit different, and snotty mucous for the first time when I wiped...

Ugh, and the pubic pain. My pubic bone is on fire!

[anarchamama]

I will officially be 37 weeks on tuesday. I am still feeling ok so I'm very gratefull for that. Dh's brother just got in from Taiwan last week and is staying with us, part of me is irritated by having company, but I really like him and it is nice to have anotehr adult around during the day. DH took the kids out today and I am trying to clean up. I am convinced this baby is going to come before my EDD but it could just be wishful thinking, so I'm trying not to think about it......lol....

Lots of BH but nothing more exciting then that.

38 weeks today and still here!!! I would love for her to make her grand appearance now!!!

I took a big fall yesterday after dd threw herself down in front of me in a tantrum at the park. While I was laying on the ground catching my breath all I could think is, oh thank god! Maybe this will put my into labor!

Wishful thinking

[kltroy]

38w4d today for me and we're still hangin' Nothing new to report... hoping the baby will hang out for another week and then get a move on!

[Oonah]

39 weeks today. Same cramping I've had off and on the last few weeks....I went from no discharge to a teeny tiny bit...only noticable b/c I am going from nothing to something. Going to the pool today and planning on working all week....what else can we do. I should pack a bag soon tho.
