Hello. It’s 5:15am. I’ve been up since 3:30 when H woke up to get ready for his flight. I’d almost fallen back asleep around 4:30 when DD knocked at our door saying she had to go potty. Took off her DRY diaper & sat her on the potty only for her to NOT go & say she was all done & she wanted underwear. Told her she only got underwear if she went potty. “Ok mommy!” And keeps sitting there not going. So I said ok we will put your diaper on & cue the waterworks. Did I mention it’s 4:30am. Finally H convinced her that a diaper was fine & she would get underwear in the morning. So it’s 5am and I’m back in bed wide awake— I’ve slept like 3 hours tonight.
Toddler mom life is SO GREAT!
I hope you guys have better starts to your days lol.

DH snored like a truck last night. I went to bed around 10:30 and when I wasn't asleep by 12 I just went to the guest bedroom. I tossed and turned all night and now it is 6 and I am up for good. Blech.
I have an appointment this morning and then will probably just do more cleaning/baby prep! I need to meal plan and go grocery shopping too.

I got a decent nights sleep last night! Not sure if I’m getting better or if the cold meds I took yesterday are still working.
I feel like baby is out of room. 5 weeks to go and supposedly they are gaining half a pound a week? Oof. My organs are squished.

This going to sound dumb but whatever...
I had my 37 week appt and the Dr commented that baby’s head is very low but I’m not dilated or anything.
With my both my boys Baby was super high up until delivery, no dialation until that day etc.
I want the baby to wait at least 2 more weeks. Anyone have a baby with a very low head for a couple weeks?
I realize I’m just looking for a bunch of head nods and that your nods will have no bearing on my situation but nod me.

rebeccabunch this LO has been soooo lowww for a good 2-3 weeks now AND I’m dilated 2cm AND 50% effaced, and still no baby. DD was also super low for the last month of my pregnancy and I wasn’t dilated at all and she came at 39+3

I slept like absolute crap last night, despite taking 1/2 a unisom. My cold is so much worse and I’m so congested and my face hurts. MH was snoring so damn loud last night because he’s also super congested. And for some reason DD was up multiple times last night from like 12:30-2ish 😴 I really hope she takes a good nap later so I can nap too before my apt at 345. Also hoping that i have shown more progress with all the contractions I’ve been having!!

I'm so excited for the new squishes! @himjamie and sweetsurprise ! DD got a cold because of course she did. She kept waking up last night and I could hear over the monitor, "mommy, I need a tissue!". But then she would go back to sleep by the time I went pee. So this morning she had nasty snot all over her face. ugh. I took the emergenC but we are just about out so I think a quick pitstop at the drugstore is in order. H and I CANNOT be sick for delivery. Especially H. I would hurt him. I've got her trained well, this morning I'm having my coffee and she looks at me and says, "Mommy's having quiet time". Yes dear. For the next however many days until this next kid comes I'm going to enjoy my hot coffee.

I’m 39 weeks today and was 0cm, 50% effaced and -3 yesterday.

Oh and I found the missing baby gym! I'm feeling kind of prepared!! I didn't find my spiritual midwifery book or the other labor books. I'm sure I'll find them when I get home from the hospital.

Hi! I have been up since the baby’s 4:30 feeding. I have no idea why I couldn’t go back to sleep. I am pretty sore today. I took some motrin and I am laying down now. MH is going to bring G to the bus and then he is running to his drs office to drop something off. I have no other plans today.

rebeccabunch with DD I was 2cm & 75% at 38w, she was very low & came at 38+5, this baby has been even lower for weeks now & still comfy in there at 39+2. Idk how dilated I am bc we didn’t check this time

rebeccabunch what a weird thing for your doc to say! For S+TMs baby doesn't typically drop until labor begins and it is totally normal for the head to be resting on the cervix with no dilation. With all my kids I have been dilated zero until the beginning of labor.

Good morning everyone! Love seeing pics of all the new squishes in here 😍 Here is the bump at 34+3. I can't believe there are still 6 weeks for it to grow 😮

I think I’m going to put her in real clothes today. It’s exhausting watching me pump.

I'll have to take a picture later. Got up at 5:30 am. I couldn't wait to get up. Tossing and turning all night sucks so much. I have a chiro appointment today and another trip to the OB for an NST tomorrow.
So, so tired. Just three weeks and two days until induction day.

Soooo much Daniel Tiger today. I’m hoping what they say is true about baby dropping for STM’s, he felt insanely low last night even H said he could see a difference & my SPD is a million times more painful today. But no contractions still haha

I made the mistake of telling my sisters a few days ago that I was 2cm dilated at my last apt and now my entire family WONT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! I know they mean well but they’re driving me crazy. And FTR, i have 8 siblings. So you can imagine the influx of texts and check-ins I’ve been getting between all of them and my parents 😑

rebeccabunch - I was 5 cm, 80% effaced and 0 station (the lowest they usually get until transition or the second stage unless preterm labor is a risk) at 37 weeks with #5. I did a lot of exercises to get her into the optimal position before birth and did a ton of walking and sitting on my birthing ball. My others didn't reach 0 station until mere seconds or a few minutes from birth. I was 5 cm/80/-2 with #1 at 37 weeks as well, and induced six days later, and the same with #4 at 38.5 weeks, also induced a week later. And with #2, I was 2 cm/70%/-2 at 37 weeks and almost 4 cm at 39. Midwife did a sweep to get me to a solid 4 cm (they didn't admit before that point) and I got to 6 cm. They weren't letting me go home. I was induced. She didn't reach 0 station until less than 10 minutes before her birth.
