@magnolia: Ah a new hair cut is always nice! Glad to hear everything is going well! I am having a ton of braxton hicks too. I had a lot one night that kept waking me up until I changed positions so I called and they still weren't concerned since they have no pattern and all at random. Seem to be triggered any time I am constipated!
I am working right up until the weekend before my scheduled c-section ( my family business so no maternity leave
) I am going to take 2 weeks off after she is here to be at home though. I've saved up all my vacation days etc. Then she will come to work with me and be in the nursery we have all made up in a private office so that's a plus

I'm at 36+2? I think
oh second pregnancy.
I'm for sure ready for this little guy to make a safe exit and as of 36 weeks am cleared to birth at my birth center. This will be my last pregnancy so I'm both excited and sad that it's reaching it's end.I also have tons of bh and a smattering of really painful contractions every day. It's been interesting. Still trying to get to yoga once a week
-
@magnolia: a haircut sounds amazing! Going to make an appointment before baby gets here
-
@MamaBear87: This is our last pregnancy as well so I share the same sentiments on the end and being sad/excited! I am definitely uncomfortable but trying to enjoy the last moments of this pregnancy since I most likely will never be pregnant again.
-
@MamaBear87: I’m so happy you got cleared for the birth center! I got risked out so I’ll be in regular L&D. If there is a midwife on call, I could have one for delivery but it’s not a guarantee
I met with my doula last week which was awesome. I’m feeling good about my birth plan. It’s also my last pregnancy so I’m definitely emotional about it coming to an end.
My son is going through a lot of milestones also (finishing pre-K, getting accepted to kindergarten) so I’ve got all the feelings going on
-
My gbs came back negative and baby is super low so I could go early. Not holding my breath though. I'd like him to stay in until this coming Tuesday since my in-laws invited themselves for Easter and I have zero desire to have to labor while they're here.
My pelvis is still awful so looking forward to that finally being over.
@magnolia: so glad you're feeling good about your delivery. Hoping it goes super smooth for you!
-
I am going to have an April baby. My water is leaking so I have been admitted to the hospital. They are giving me cytotec tonight, and pitocin in the morning. I am currently 1 cm dilated.
-
@NCSUchick27: good luck! Hope everything goes smoothly!
-
@NCSUchick27: good luck! Hope everything goes well today
-
@NCSUchick27: Prayers for a safe and quick delivery! Hope everything goes great!
-
@NCSUchick27: thinking of you today and sending you positive vibes for delivery!
-
I am 5 cm, and everything is going smoothly so far. I have my epidural, and it is heavenly.
-
@NCSUchick27: hoorah! Go mama go!

Eleanor Opal was born on 4/17/19 at 10:15pm. She weighs 7lbs 15oz, and is 21 inches long. The labor was easy due to a wonderful epidural, but the delivery was difficult. I pushed for close to 3 hours, and ended up needing a vacuum assist . I have quite a bit of tearing.
-
@NCSUchick27: Congrats on your beautiful baby girl!!!!!
-
@NCSUchick27: congratulations! She’s beautiful. I love her name. I hope you have a speedy recovery

We came home today.
-
@NCSUchick27: aww!!! She’s so precious! She looks very content and peaceful
-
@NCSUchick27: those cheeks! She's so adorable. And I love the bunny outfit
-
@NCSUchick27: She is precious! Those cheeks!
How is everyone feeling? This week I had my son at 37 weeks in my first pregnancy so I am on baby watch a little bit. Is it common for second babies to be like first or totally different? It could definitely be the nerves for sure. I have been nauseous the last two days and just feeling "off."
-
@NCSUchick27: P.S. how many weeks were you when you gave birth to your babe?
-
@paigeface: I was 36 weeks 6 days.
-
@NCSUchick27: Amazing! I was 37 weeks exactly with my son and he was almost the exact birth weight as your daughter.
-
@NCSUchick27: she's so darling!
-
I'm feeling a little more ready for him to be here. But still freaked out about the unknowns of labor. We'll see how it goes
-
@MamaBear87: Thank you! She turned one week old today.
-
@NCSUchick27: Adorable! So precious
-
@paigeface: I’m feeling off also. I had an appointment Monday and doctor said I’m 2cm. He doesn’t think I’ll make it to my due date. So if course I got excited but now I’m just annoyed. I’m over thinking every little symptom. Still having a lot of Braxton Hicks also. Physically I feel pretty good but mentally I’m just impatient.
I am at least trying to enjoy the last few weeks as a mama of one and get quality time in with my son -
@NCSUchick27: so cute!
-
@paigeface: I’m utterly exhausted. I teach preschool and a full day is just killer at this point. Luckily, I only teach M/W/F, so 4 days left for me! (And my class moved teacher appreciation week for me, so this week is extra fun). My induction is set for May 6th, and for many reasons I’m hoping I make it to that date (money, convenience, childcare, DH’s job). But I feel like I’m trudging along very slowly. And because of the cord insertion issue, I have twice-weekly, 1.5-hour appointments. On Monday, I was 1 cm dilated, but I generally don’t dilate much until active labor.
But enough whining! No more than 12 days and she will be here!
-
Anybody else extremely fatigued?? I got plenty of sleep but I can barely keep my eyes open. I haven’t felt this way since the first trimester.
-
@magnolia: Yes! Extremely fatigued over here as well. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow. My 3yo is sick too so that's not helping things. It seems like no matter how much sleep I get or don't get I end up feeling the same exhaustion. It keeps making me feel like I am getting that much closer to the end. I really want to enjoy the last little bit too with just my son so I share the same sentiments.
@JESS1483: 12 days! So exciting! You are almost there mama.
I too am hoping I make it to my scheduled c-section on May 13th for the same reasons you listed. I was 1cm on Monday but he said she wasn't engaged or anything and everything was still sealed and not soft.
) I am going to take 2 weeks off after she is here to be at home though. I've saved up all my vacation days etc. Then she will come to work with me and be in the nursery we have all made up in a private office so that's a plus
