But also . . . ditto! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270900 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:12:11 +0000 matador84 270900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmccarthy with the luck i have you will probably go before me! ahh! i might call dr on monday and see if i can get my tues appt moved to monday. he was around 6 1/2 lbs at 36 weeks...my belly is totally lop-sided now! between him dropping and the weight gain, i am ready to pop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270787 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:33:57 +0000 MrsMccarthy 270787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: WOw that DOES sound very promising! 100% effaced! </p> <p>I keep being told my baby is average size but I feel like he is big too.

I'm still not getting my hopes up but something wack is going on and I can't last much longer like this!!</p> <p>@mungbean: dr told me he could feel the head at my 36 week appointment, it freaked me out!! i have been carrying super low the whole pregnancy.</p> <p>thanks for the &lt;3 y'all! i woke up this morning feeling "ok," but i cannot even believe how swollen my hands are now....in addition to sausage legs! i have a friend who is convinced i need to go to l&amp;d...but i am trying to tough it out until monday. bed all weekend for me! monday is the first day of school and i want to be there...after that, the towel has been thrown in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270689 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 07:28:32 +0000 heffalump 270689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every week my doctor kept telling me she didn't think she'd see me the next week.... and then sure enough she'd see me. This started around 36 weeks and then LO didn't come until her due date. </p> <p>Hopefully your doctor is better at guessing these things, good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270619 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:07:40 +0000 MrsMccarthy 270619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope so for your sake. I have been feeling the same exact way for two days now. What makes your doc say you wont go past labor day? are you super dilated? I was 1cm, 50% effaced and -3 station on Wed. I am 39 weeks on sunday. I hope i am close but for some reason I fear i will be waiting a few days past due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270590 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:07:12 +0000 pregnantbee 270590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The morning of the day I went into labor I was more tired than usual. And that afternoon I felt a tightening similar to BH but more painful. I went into labor that night, and the tightening was a real contraction. Good luck for a speedy and easy labor and delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270572 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:46:18 +0000 Penny Lane 270572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @chopsuey119: I felt perfectly fine, until I woke up to my first ever contraction and my water breaking :) I was still certain I'd have to be induced </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270529 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:10:41 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 270529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day before I went into labour, I felt like a truck hit me! I felt so yucky! I felt like I hit a wall, and I went to bed at 9:30. The next day I felt great until contractions started at five pm! Crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270494 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:41:19 +0000 pinkcupcake 270494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, how exciting! :) Good luck!!</p> <p>I was 3CM dilated starting from week 38. At my 39th week DR's appt, the DR told me I probably wouldn't make it to 40 weeks since she could feel LO's head :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270466 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:17:46 +0000 chopsuey 270466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eeeee!!<br /> I felt great until I woke up to contractions.. had my LO 12 hours later. </p> <p>Sounds like you're gonna have your baby soon though...! Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/think-im-getting-close#post-270462 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:15:49 +0000 DillonLion 270462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So exciting!!

The past couple days my back pain has gone from bad to worse and I have gotten so tired it's literally ridiculous. I honestly can't even imagine making it until Monday!! I'm having pains that are different than BH. I can't describe it, but there has definitely been a turn in the last 48 hours. </p> <p>Did there come a point for you when you knew birth was imminent?? Or you felt like it was? </p>
