@JennyPenny: Losing your mucus plug is a good sign! I bet it won't be too much longer for you. Are your contractions mostly in the same area? Sometimes mine are more BH, entirely in my abdomen. But other times I have back pain that wraps around to the front, which is what my previous labor contractions felt like.

@MapleMoose: I've had BH type tightening that doesn't hurt more or less constantly the whole 3rd trimester. The contractions I'm having at night hurt and usually start at the back and then wrap around too. Those are the ones I'm counting as "having contractions" but I only end up having a handful at a time.

@psw27: I think my DH is getting annoyed with my updates too. I keep telling him "this happened, so I bet its soon" of course it hasn't happened yet so I bet he thinks I'm crying wolf or something...

Well, I had my growth scan today! Baby girl was head down, facing my back, so in a good position. She had her face covered and wouldn't give us a look at her face, but we did find out that she had lots of hair! They guessed she weighed 5'14'' and said she was in the 39th % and my doctor feels good about going for a vbac. So it feels good to have a plan (sort of!) and I'm glad she's not measuring too large like my first. Also, super happy to hear she's in a good position too, also unlike my first. Lol. Had my GBS swab like all the rest of you this morning and totally forgot until I got in the room and saw the sheet laying there, doh. I hate pants-off appts at the end. My doctor is out of town for the next 2 weeks and told me (well, mostly told DH!) that we aren't allowed any funny business so I don't go into labor until he gets back! Haha. He is selfish and wants to deliver this baby himself. My DH wasn't happy about that, but it wasn't like he was getting a lot of action anyway!! hahaha.

Nesting hard today. Deep cleaning the house and continuing to unpack. I'm halfway done already. Worst part will be the living room/kitchen and those are next.

@MissLace: I was super worried about this myself, but the internet reassured me that 2nd+ babies can flip really late and often don't turn head down till after labor starts! But I hope he turns for you sooner than later.

I'm feeling quite frustrated. When I'm standing it feels like labor is going to start any minute. Tons of pressure, cramping and tightness. But when I'm sitting or laying down, I feel just fine. No indication that anything is happening anytime soon... Sigh

@psw27: yup, I'm not sleeping either, especially as of the last week. Tons of weird pressure and BH contractions both during the day and at night. I'm also super thirsty in the middle of the night and have been drinking 2-3 bottles of water throughout the night...which just makes me wake up even more to pee...

As painful as I'm sure everyone's contractions, I'm seriously jealous that I show no signs at all of going in early. I have 19 days to go and NOTHING. I was late with DS and even though DD is scheduled, it's only one day before my initial due date.

@bubblegum: you're not alone! I only had a little bit of labor contractions with my first and that was at 40+6! I was scheduled to be induced the next day.

I'm not expecting any labor with this one either, but i would seriously be estatic if I went spontaneously into labor! My mom had to be induced with 4 out of 5 kids, so I'm not hopeful.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: Good to know I'm not alone. That freaking sucks!!!! I had DS and 41 weeks and 2 days I was beyond over it.
@mrsmacSLP: No way!!! Have they talked induction with you?

@psw27: YESSS!!! We need an update ASAP!

@psw27: Exciting! I hope they turn into something

@MissLace: Well, my previously head-down baby is breech again too. So I guess I'll be joining you in the forward leaning inversions....

Baby's kidney is still enlarged but stable, which is what we expected. And he's still big! The US tech had fun watching his cheeks jiggle and took this picture of his rolls. She estimates 7lbs 4oz at almost 37weeks.

@psw27: Not sleeping well at all here either....and I really need it!

@bubblegum: FWIW, DS1 was content to stay in until my csection. DS2 was scheduled for 1 day before my DD, and he didn't make it (he was 38w6d). Hopefully, you go at least a little earlier!

@JennyPenny: Ahhhh more pieces!!?!?

@psw27: EEEEEEK! Updates asap!!!! Good luck!

@ValentineMommy: Fingers crossed! I honestly would just be okay with the 15th instead! A nice Saturday that way I don't spend so much of the work week (DH will work while I'm in the hospital) in the hospital

@littleblessings: Ugh, I hear you on the diarrhea. My body has been "clearing itself out" for the past few days. Blech.

@psw27: YES!!! I'll take it now! I'm just sooo drained already but realistically I need her to stay in until April 14th at least

@psw27: I'm especially anxious to get him out since he's measuring so big. He's the size my DS was (born 40 weeks exactly) already so another 3 weeks of cooking/growing sounds terrifying! But I was pretty disappointed to find him breech this morning...

@bubblegum: NOPE! No induction date set. The midwives I have let us go until 42 weeks. I secretly wanted a March baby, but he's going to hold out.

@psw27: stay put baby! Let Gramma and Grandpa get there first!

@bubblegum: good gravy I know right?! I am hoping for a 4/10 baby now. That's my husbands and my 15 year dating anniversary and only 1 week overdue.

@mrsmacSLP: Awww that would be perfect!!
