hey all,
boy am i ready to have this baby
i am having more and more problems with my back and breathing. I guess there is really nothing you can do about that. I am still working f/t. Today I have a doctors appointment, guess I'll have to complain to the doc. lol
Anyway, hope all of you are doing good.

In one word... UGH. That is how I feel. 38 weeks and counting the days down. I am crossing my fingers for the full moon tonight (laugh/snort ). Last Wed I developed a mild itchy rash on my abdomen due to the stretching. Baby lotion has helped some along with an antihistamine as directed by my doctor. Lucky for me he dropped two weeks ago so I can at least breathe again, but the back discomfort is getting worse, especially at night when it is getting harder and harder to sleep comfortably. Still it will all be worth it.
My only complaint is my back too! But I am seeing a chiropractor to help out with that! I have a little over 10 weeks to go, but I don't feel like I'm going to last. Is that normal?
I had to read this post and say a big GOOD LUCK to all the mommies about to pop soon!!! I would love to say that's the case with me, but i'm only 19 weeks AAH!
Lucky lucky lucky!!!

I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and I'm miserable. I'm ready for this to be over so I can hold my sweet little baby boy. I'm having BH ALOT and my pelvic bone is hurting like something awful. It will all be worth it in a few weeks though. I hope everyone is doing okay.
I am currently 37.5 weeks. I am dialated to one and when I was at my docs appt. last time she stripped my membranes. I also lost my mucous plug on Friday. I am currentlyworking full time and all the aches and pains are getting so bad. Its hard to walk just cuz I have so much pain and pressure downthere. Sometimes I look so ridiculous trying to walk. My back is extremely sore. I am hoping it happens soon. I am getting cranky and losing my paitence.
i went to the docs today. i only gained 1 pd since 3 wks ago, woo hoo. she measured the baby and he is measuring 2 wks ahead, i am currently 31 wks. i guess that doesnt mean much, but i guess hes gonna be a big boy. rot roh, lol. anyway, hang in there ladies. it will be worth the pain and all the patience in the end. i cant wait.
I can't wait either! I am so excited to meet this little guy. I am 29 weeks tomorrow and I feel sooooo tired and soooo unmotivated to do much but only 11 more weeks!
I'M SOOOO READY!! I was having pains all weekend, but nothing constant so I didn't want to go into the hospital. I had pushing pressure all day Saturday, Like I'd sit on the toilet and push, feeling like I had to go #2, but didn't. So when I went to the Dr this morning he asked me "Is he still head down" I said I HOPE! He checked me and said WOW HES LOW!! That's what all the pressure was. So he checked me and I am dilated 3cm! He said walk, SEX, and sit on the toilet and push more, that will move him down. He striped my membranes today too, so I am thinking, since this is my 4th that I am going on like Wednesday. If there's nothing by Monday he will bring me into L&D and break my water. I'm so excited!! I am due 10/31 but he moved me up to today, 10/17 cause of high bp issues but my bp has been low and I am not swollen, so I have till next Monday(if I make it)..WOO HOO

Boy do I!! We needed a female here but DH decided to add another male to the mix!! Its so much fun tho, I wouldnt ask for it any other way!!
Best of luck to you too!
im 36 weeks, and very ready!!!!! its been 3 months on bed rest, my poor body is so sore. walking is tough. it will all be worth it. the dr said his head has been low for 1.5 months now, and im 100% effaced. but no dialation yet. why do they strip your membranes? what does that mean? also i have been having pressure like hes going to fall out!!!! i cant wait!!!!!
I'm 35 weeks and I feel huge, my back hurts all of the time, I can't breathe most of the time, and sleep, what sleep? I go to bed, and I do sleep, but I wake up every 2 hours. Guess my body is preparing for the many night feedings ahead.

Ausomemom, you have one week left, YAY!! Hang in there. Easy for me to say, I know. My second pregnancy has been MUCH worse then the first pregnancy. I can't imagine how bad it will be in the coming weeks.
Hi ladies, sorry to hear you are all feeling so sore, tired and ready to pop. I will be 29 wks on 10/27, so I still feel fairly decent. This is my 2nd, and I have noticed that sleeping has been alot harder than with my 1st. It didn't hit until like the last month with him, but I have had trouble with my back and being comfortable and sleeping more than 2 hours at a time for a while now, and seems to just get worse. I will be having another scheduled C section this time, and hopefully won't experience any contractions or labor again. I was so lucky with my DS that I didn't have BH or anything. Wish you all well and just concentrate on that sweet baby that you will be holding soon, and it makes it all worth it. Take care.

I'm in my 31st week and am feeling pretty good except for the CONSTANT trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night..It is friggin ridiculous!I no sooner pee,wipe, and get up that I have to sit back down and go again(sorry,maybe that was TMI but honestly, at this point in my pregnancy, the time for modesty has come and gone..lol!)!I am up every hour on the hour literally...Arghhh!!I guess you ladies here can relate to my dilemma...Just like a previous poster said, I guess it's just getting me ready for all those late night feedings...This is my first so this is really all new to me...Also I feel like sometimes I need one of those velcro belts that go around your back and under the belly to minimize some of the pressure...It doesn't feel so pleasant sometimes...but like I said, no other major complaints...I can't wait till it's over though, so I can have my cute little munchkin in my arms finally...I have a c-section scheduled for 12-21 so I'm just counting down!
ausomemom2-i wish you the best!!!! hope everything goes smoothly for you!
rafael02-i hear you on the constant trips to the potty. i feel like i get up every 2-3 hrs during the night. it stinks, but just think only a couple more weeks.
hope everyone else is doing fabulous.
