I’m sorry easternshoregirl!! No advice here but I hope baby moves back! Haha. My girlfriend’s daughter turned breech at 40 weeks 😳 they were able to move her back with a manual version & then induced her right that second so baby didn’t have a chance to turn back haha.

Ugh I am so sick of having BH. They make me feel so crummy when I have them and they’re getting more and more intense as the days go by. I get this tightening in my chest and my head when I get them and then I feel so crappy afterwards. My head feels all fuzzy right now. Goddamnit tomorrow can’t come soon enough

One of my friends had twins and attempted a vaginal birth. She got the first one out vaginally, but as soon as that one was out, the other one flipped and she had to have a c-section with the 2nd baby 😳 she said it was the worst thing ever, trying to heal and recover from having BOTH types of births

easternshoregirl I would find a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy (not just Webster certified but her specialty). Mine just flipped a baby at 37 weeks. And then I think the goal is just to spend as much time on hands and knees as possible so gravity gives baby more room to turn. The old wives tale is to scrub the floors of the whole house with a toothbrush 🤣🤣🤣. Good luck!!

maddisonrose DS was a prolific spitter. Making sure he ate slowly and thoroughly burping him helped a bit. Burping essentially made him spit up then rather than later when he was down. Honestly there wasn’t much I could do aside from go through a million burp clothes. He spat up for ages, longer than kids normally do. He was a “happy spitter” at first, meaning they aren’t experiencing pain from it. When he started screaming after every spit up his pedi put him on a liquid reflux med for a few weeks and that seemed to settle down the acid issue and he went back to happy spitter. As far as I know, there are no meds safe for reducing the amount and frequency. This was pretty much our situation. DD2 was not a happy spitter, but the rest of them were. And the pedi didn’t think meds would help DD2. They slept in the RnP, lots of upright time, lots of burping (which yes, really just makes them spit up now instead of later). Are you nursing? I think I have a pretty strong let down (like I’ve sprayed milk several feet when they’ve unlatched 😳) which can contribute to gas and spitting. You can try leaning back while nursing, or hand expressing a bit to start so the flow isn’t so intense. But maybe that’s just me.

I just packed up my maternity clothes (well most of them, I’m not wearing regular pants just yet). DH has scheduled a vasectomy. I’m having all the feels right now. 😭😭😭

Since we had to do IVF I am really trying to keep things in perspective and not take this pregnancy for granted- but at the same time I am ready for it to be over and to meet him! Don't feel bad for feeling over it! Really.

Don't feel bad for feeling over it! Really. +1 pinkcat. You’re entitled to feel completely over it and uncomfortable and miserable, despite the difficult road you had getting him. Pregnancy sucks. And being over it doesn’t make you any less grateful for being able to get pregnant in the first place. Hugs mama!

I can't wait to hear about the new babies that have arrived/are arriving today - BABIES!
We received an ad in the mail today for a grocery store that is promoting all the "game plan" specials. I want to eat all the yummy Super Bowl food... NOW!

I just came here to say I’m in a perpetual state of BH. Looks like I’m not alone.
I’m handling it by stress eating those cat shaped cookies from Trader Joe’s. This is not helping.

I think baby had dropped some today. My belly looks lower but I’m also starting to feel pressure down there. It already hurt to walk and I could have close to five weeks to go so I’m not really too happy about it.
DS was sent home from preschool because of a low grade fever and cough. Took him urgent care to be safe, and the dr. thought it was just an upper respiratory infection and his lungs are clear. So that’s good but he still sounds terrible.

I mean I cried when I packed my glucose meter up the day I got home from the hospital, even though I hated that dang thing lol.

Yeah with how I feel right now this baby is definitely going to come on her own and I will be very fortunate if I make it to 40w. Although I say that now and she'll then be like her sister. Just to be a pita (DD1 was 41+2).
All the BH, the pressure in my hips, cramping... Shit is getting real in the sunfrogger household!

Seems like my body is prepping for tomorrow... I’m back to having pretty painful contractions for the past couple hours. I’m not at all convinced I’m in labor at all, since ya know, this has been story of my lyfe this past week and a half. But I would LOVE if this would continue and I could avoid the induction.
It would also be hilarious if i did actually go into labor tonight/tomorrow since I went into labor in the wee hours of the morning with DD1 the day I was scheduled for my induction.

Thanks for the advice and anecdotes. I'm going to try acupuncture first then see from there...and I'm trying all the old wives tales and some Spinning BAbies techniques in the meantime. I did invert myself on the ironing board tonight....

I am wondering if my body is acting similarly to the way it did after I had G. With her I stopped bleeding with 2 or 3 weeks and then my cycle returned right away because I did not breast feed. I stopped bleeding a few days ago and I am cranky af today so I am wondering if I am PMSing. Like I really want a snack that we don’t have in the house and I bitched at MH for it in hopes that he will either go and get it from the store or fins something equally appealing. Neither thing happened.

We’re headed to the hospital!!!! Contractions are intense and every 3-5 minutes.
Whyyyyy do I breed stubborn children who refuse to come out until the last possible second before induction???
