It was nice to be outside today, but should not have taken a long walk with my kids. I'm hurting pretty good tonight and thought for sure this baby was going to fall out of me at any given moment. polson and woodenshoes good luck tomorrow! So excited for you both!

I’m officially more pregnant than I’ve ever been. I mentioned it on GD, but my mom’s staying with us to watch DS because we have no other care options for the birth. I want baby out so she can go home. The thought of reaching my due date or going late sends me spiralling. Which means it’ll happen because that’s my luck.

polson so frustrating! Maybe you’ll go into labor before that and they’ll find room then. This isn’t uncommon for one of our main health networks. It’s a huge women’s hospital but they closed most other maternity wards at suburban hospitals and force everybody to go to the same hospital in town and it has turned basically into a baby factory.

yea i didn’t really think it was a possible scenario being in large metro area, but i’m guessing just lots of people in active labor🤷♀️. i just feel bad my mom had dd over night because it made the most logistical sense. and yes, baby can come anytime now - h moved all patients scheduled for next week in anticipation so it’s the week he gets off. fingers crossed you don’t get bumped woodenshoes!

polson don't they know you have a whole message board of very pregnant women waiting to live vicariously through you? How rude! The H and I are going to cooking classes at Sur La Table that he got me for Valentine's. I don't really feel like going but it's a dessert class and I do feel like eating the desserts. Last night I was having regular contractions about 5 minutes apart but they weren't really painful, just a little like Oof so I decided to ignore them. Overnight and today nothing so I guess it was nothing. Pregnancy is such a mind fuck.

It can be so hard to coordinate care for other children.
With #2, my sister stayed with us from 39-41 weeks, and since #1 came on his due date, I felt good about it.
Then I didn’t give birth until 40+6 and it was super hard to deal with the logistics, plus she only got to meet the baby for a day.
Womp womp. She’s visiting at 39+6 through 41 this time. I really really hope the baby comes.

I just helped MH move a really really heavy thing and now I’m having some cramping. I’m laying down drinking water. Blah.
And my children are just yelling and yelling. Ugh.

Last night at work at least 5 customers commented on how small my belly is and how I don’t look like I’m having a baby next month. I know people mean it as a compliment but it’s definitely not when the MW is concerned about it. Why do people think it’s ok to analyze and comment on your body just because you’re pregnant?

I do not understand how people do not understand how simple simple simple it is. One, don’t comment on peoples’ bodies. Two, if you must (I get that pregnancy is exciting and some times it is relevant or obvious or otherwise whatever), there’s a simple way: “YOU LOOK GREAT.” That’s it! Three words. “YOU. LOOK. GREAT.”

I got my first perfect family comment yesterday. I think my current theory is that people either just automatically lose brain cells when talking to pregnant women, or their IQ automatically drops.

I feel this anxiety with you. People just say things because they think they should. They shouldn’t.

Oh yeah this irritates me! Everyone comments how lucky we are to “finally” have a boy. Dh must be so happy. You’re fine now right, bc you got your boy? No. None of this. We have a healthy baby. 4 is our max no matter what. And honestly, adding a boy genuinely complicates things and dh agrees with this.

polson Yay! Good luck! Just like I figured DS had a major meltdown going with my parents today. It has probably been over a year since he has stayed somewhere without DH or myself, so I knew it would happen. My heart is shattered, but I know he will be ok. I already miss him. Hopefully this baby is delivered at a reasonable time tomorrow so he can come back tomorrow. My parents live an hour away from us, so if it is too late I won’t see him until Tuesday.
