katietopaz, I hope you had a good nights rest on your new bed! clementine, I am glad the baby started moving after having the cereal. I have had several of those moments and I hate them. snowmoon, I am sorry about the crappy sleep you had last night. I hope you can make it through your 12 hour shift and then are able to rest. Maybe you can squeeze in a catnap at lunch. I am sorry for everyone that had a rough nights sleep last night. I actually slept decent last night. I only woke up to use the bathroom 2 or 3 times rather than the million times I have been waking up the last few nights. I am so over the aches and pains. My back, legs, hips, everything have been hurting, and my feet have started swelling. I think DS is coming down with a cold...ugh. I hope it doesn't get any worse than what it currently is, I don't want to take anymore time off of work if he can't go to daycare.

I just realized that if I go to the same gestation as I did with my DS, this baby would be born April Fool's Day/ Easter Sunday, which is hilarious to me. I know it's unlikely though and I really hope I don't go that long. My due date is the 27th (although my ob thinks it is the 29th). I'm pretty much positive I'm going to have an April Fools/Easter baby. Womp. My induction is 3/29 At 6:30pm, I am also convinced I'll have an April Fool's kid. |

When my DD was born, they had me go in to be induced at 8:30pm and when my dr came in the next morning she ended up breaking my water. If that happens I don't think they will let you go more than 24 hours due to risk of infections. I will say though 3/30 is an awesome day for a birthday, since that's my birthday  |

Pretty sure I just lost some of my mucus plug. Google tells me this can mean labor will start in hours, days, or weeks... so I guess I’ll just wait patiently.

The hospital I'm going to will probably let me labor as long as I can tolerate before increasing the interventions, so I could see myself laboring through induction for the 29th/30th, breaking my eater late 30th/early 31st, and having the kid actually get here on the 1st. I mean, I hope not. But there's something about April Fool's that just feels like the icing of the cake with this pregnancy.  |

Rama My mom is an April fools baby - and she’s pretty amazing! Plus April 1 is also Easter this year - so that could be cool, too - even if you don’t celebrate it!

I feel like all the STMs I know went three days late. DD was a due date baby so I have high expectations... and three days after her due date is MIL’s birthday. If they end up sharing a birthday I may legit die bc it’s all I’ll hear about until the end of time.

With DD I started losing mine on a Friday and went into labor that following Monday. It's so frustrating because it can mean nothing or something but I hope it means something for you! |

I feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment thinking this baby will come around when DD1 did at 39 weeks. Easter is a few days after my due date so it wouldn't be the worst thing if she comes a few days late I just don't want to go a week or two and have to be induced.

DS was born on Thanksgiving. I am kind of sad that this child will not be born on a holiday. This child has avoided almost all of the family birthdays in February so far. If I wasn't high risk and told that I will be delivering by 39 weeks my hope was that this child would be born on March 14 (Pi Day) that would have been the same point in pregnancy 39+3 as when DS was born.

If they end up sharing a birthday I may legit die bc it’s all I’ll hear about until the end of time. My FIL's birthday is a couple weeks before my due date and he always is such a diva about it. I can't decide whether it would be AWFUL to have DD on his birthday or kind of deliciously evil to bust up his drama train and steal his birthday, lol. |

My son was born at 40w and my daughter at 40+6.
I admit that I really hope I don’t go too far past my due date. Ugh. I’m tired.
With an EDD of 3/12, I wouldn’t mind a pi day baby, though...
3/15 is the anniversary of my mom’s death, and the Ides of March, which might be nice to have a happy memory take over. Or maybe it’d be weird? Who knows.

My due date is Apr 1 and let me tell you - everyone thinks that's hilarious. "Oh is this all just an April fools joke?" "Oh haha, and then you'll tell us this is all a joke?"
Yes, assholes. Clearly a joke. I've really loved faking all the extra stress and fucking 8000lbs I've gained. Super committed to this joke. Eye. Roll.

I just don't want this baby to be born on DS' birthday - and I don't want to be in the hospital for that day. I want them to have their own days and I want to spend my little guy's birthday with him. I was just talking about this on GD but the kid has been excited for his birthday since September.

I’ve been having hot flashes with dizzy spells and a slight headache since yesterday. I don’t feel like I’m over doing it but am told to take it easier than I am. Going for a nap now.

DD was born at 39+1 and I’ve decided this one will be at least that early. I can’t imagine going much longer than that. I was so miserable and ready.

G was born at 39+6.
I wouldn’t mind this one to go early. Next week? Ok
Edit - I’m 38+1 right now.

I just want to make it past March 12th (I'll be 37 weeks 5 days) because we got tickets to take DD1 to see Daniel Tiger live as a last thing for us to do before baby comes and I would be so sad if I couldn't go.

DS was born at 41w6d. NO. I've already informed my OB that will not be happening again, thankyouverymuch. She was agreeable.

Leaf 🌱, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the baby isn't born on your mils birthday. I wouldn't want to hear about it forever either.

Not weird. |

I am still saying this kid can wait till 41.5 weeks to come. I reserve the right to change my mind when I get closer lol. Being 37 weeks of freaking me out tho, I like to be overprepared!

ArielMermaid DS was born at 39+1 too! Just twenty-five minutes shy of midnight, which was a pain because our insurance at the time had us paying for the hospital stay by the day, effective once the baby actually arrived. So we paid $1000 for that 25 minutes. ovenrack That six inches of mattress space felt like a whole new world! I'm honestly more excited about that than the comfier mattress.
