Hellobee Boards

Is feeling feverish a sign of labor? Can we pretend it is? My thermometer doesn't read any temp but I feel feverish and DH even mentioned I was warm. BLEGH.

Just saw this posted on FB hahaha

@Mrs. J: damn and you were so close! I'm still waiting for mine to pop up. How many days left for you now?

@Mrs. J: Me too I escaped with none with N, but I've recently found a few around my belly button (which is a major outtie and that never happened with N either!). They literally popped up during the last week or so!

Ugh- I keep forgetting my stomach is so squished. We went out for dinner and I was so hungry that I ate (a normal amount) too fast and now I feel like I might die.

I'm feeling very swollen today. And at one day "over due" I am having a hard time not googling to see if every little "twinge" could be a sign of impending labor. Even though I know better. I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 9am, and if my cervix is still 1cm I'll probably burst into ugly tears at my midwifes office.

I hope all of you wanting to deliver soon get your wishes! If any of you want to send some overdue dust my way Ill gladly take it. I would love to go longer with this one so I have some more time with my current littles I tend to birth them at 39 weeks so I hit that Monday and Im really hoping to get an extra week if not 2 in this time so all the long dust please!

@Mrs. Chocolate: if I wasn't on a deadline for a VBAC, I'd feel the same as you.

i went to the Dr on friday for my 37 week (exactly) appointment and found out i am 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. I haven't had any painful contractions at all, just barely noticeable BH. Of course now I'm paranoid to go into work the next two weeks even though I'm fully planning on working from home most of the time because of my commute. and last night was the first night of full blown insomnia and having stressed out dreams of my water breaking at work...

@Ms. RV: yes. Although mine comes in waves. Like, I'll be normal, and then I'll have a day where I go all the time.

Y'all. I have less than 48 hours....

Sending some of my early labor vibes to all of you because I really want to hold out until Tuesday morning! And I want to see some more babies!!!

@Mrs. Chocolate: I went 41+2, I will send you all the keep-cooking vibes I can! I would say send me your early vibes but I'm 40 weeks tomorrow sooo, on time vibes? Haha

@Ms. RV: I would say I go in waves too. Some times I even wake up in the night to go a couple of times which is totally unheard of.

Nothing going on here, boo. Hosting a dinner today, we got roped in to it and hoping my house doesn't become a disaster because I don't want to deal with cleaning all over again. Although, I guess cleaning might send me in to labour so.. There's that.

@aprild: just stalking the boards for Aug babies, but wanted to chime in re: membrane sweeps. I had two w ds1 at 39 wks (lost my mucus plug) and on my due date (bloody show then labor next day).

This time I had them swept once at 38w and my water broke the next morning and I had ds2 8 hours later!!

Good luck!!

@lilteacherbee: @autumnlove: good luck ladies!!!

@kjpugs: So sorry. I did see the tone on that one. Not cool.

@kjpugs:

@kjpugs: Sorry you are dealing with this on top of everything else. We'll miss you!

@Kjpugs

Ok, I had a weird thing happen. Someone bought the high chair off our Buy Buy Baby registry. I know because it was delivered to our house. But it was delivered in the Graco box, not a Buy Buy Baby box (as is usually the case). So there's no packing slip or anything... so I have no idea who it is from! Do you think the store could tell me who bought it? I feel bad but I have no clue who bought it!

@abmamma: That happens to me too! I find that if I eat even a small portion of something, I feel stuffed! Which is the opposite of what people expect. I think people expect me to be eating twice as much!

@OhCaptain: I hope you've made some progress at your appointment tomorrow!

@Ms. RV: Yes! I've been spending more time than normal on the toilet lately. I hear that can be a sign labor will start soon!

@buttermilk: I would take some time to relax and rest a little before baby gets here! Today, DH took our son for a few hours, and I used the time to watch Jurassic World in the movie theater. I figured it might be a while before I get to see a movie again.

@mrsjyw: That's good to know! It looks like it really help some people.

@kjpugs: Sorry to see you go

@MrsADS: I would give them a call! They probably have it linked to the registry somehow and might be able to tell you.

@MrsADS: Great! I'm glad you figured it out!
