I can officially say “I’m having a baby next month!”. Time is a thief, where did this pregnancy go?!

sweetc129 yianna no other trickling, but it feels damp and watery periodically. Idk if that makes sense. I had light period like cramping and loose bowels, then sharp pains at 2 am that went away. I saw my midwife just yesterday and called today just to run it by them. I feel dumb, as per, but I really don’t feel like it was pee. If they’re not concerned I’m cool with it though.

Some baby’s heads just plug it right up. I would definitely say this is a better safe than sorry situation - don’t feel dumb at all.

We have newborn pics Saturday morning and I need some energy to clean up and get things looking nice. We still have a picture to hang up in L’s room and then just lots of picking up and arranging things to look how I want them for the pics. Pics are at 10 am and I’m feeling a little eek about getting myself ready on time with a newborn. MH will be here to help obvi but I’ve been looking like a homeless person all week so I’m not sure I even remember how to do my hair and makeup.

Don't feel dumb, that is what they are there for. Like Leaf 🌱 said some babies heads are really good plugs. Mine exploded because she was breech and nothing to plug it. My sister was like you and even went to L&D they sent her home telling her it was just pee, lo and behold it was not and she was back having a baby less than 24 hours later.

I'm tired and grumpy this morning. The pain meds didn't help nearly as much as the night before and I've been up since 3 a.m. Both of my girls woke up a combined 5 times last night too. It was a long night, needless to say.

I'd gladly "steal some time" from everyone who isn't ready if that was possible. I am SOOOO ready to be done. Give me a baby and let me feel normal already.

babybean What happens if you lay on your side for 30-60 minutes and then stand up? Is There a gush or any increased leaking? Did you feel anything like this when you first got up this morning? As a PP said, sometimes the membrane can rupture and then because of baby’s position, be plugged up. I would definitely call and see about being swabbed. It’s a super easy test and worth it if your water really did break.

It’s a super easy test and worth it if your water really did break. Nothing, even after getting up or having baby roll around so I think I’m in the clear. TMI but I’m back to having discharge as opposed to clear liquid like yesterday too. If there’s any more trickling I’ll follow up for a swab to confirm, if it’s not super obvious like last time. I’m both bummed but relieved it’s not go time. #hormones.

Last night I was pretty sure I was leaking fluid, but it turns out I think I was just dreaming, it was a little pee, and discharge.
Guys, our lives are so effing glamourous.

babybean, I'd also wear a pad. I know it sounds gross & very diaper-y, but I've been told that when it's a trickle, the test may show negative for the personal swab, but they can also swab the pad for a better reading.

Add me to the tired and grumpy list today. My bladder hurts all the time and I feel like I'm constantly peeing.
And we are under another fucking snowfall warning and I cussed out the radio today in my car.

When I was first swabbed after my water broke I was told it was negative meanwhile my water f'in exploded it wasn't like I wasn't sure what it was. DH was like "um I cleaned that shit up, it was not pee". I asked if they wanted me to pull my depends out of the trash (don't ask why I had one handy but was much needed to make it to the hospital). They ended up swabbing again and the second one was positive.

Hope you can get some relief tonight and some extra rest as well! ETA: More snow...ugh. Hope it's not a lot and melts quickly. I'm so ready for spring and summer!

We went to the in laws for dinner last night. MH and daughter arrived first because of my doctors appointment and I met them there. When I get there MIL goes, “I tried to trick YH into saying the babies name but it didn’t work.” I just glared at her and said, “that would be impossible since there isn’t a name.” 1. We don’t tell you the name for a reason. 2. There isn’t a name. 3. Mind your goddamn business. You have a month to wait. Fuck off. I am at an 11 irritated about it. Grr. I've put her on my shit list today too.

She knows you do have to name a baby right? So, she's preemptively telling everyone that your DD2's name will be less liked by her? That seems like a bonehead grandma move. She sounds like my mother and so I'm even more annoyed for you.

ArielMermaid, whenever we're around MIL and talking about the baby, she'll causally be like "& her name is...." and we literally have no freaking clue at all. Like we have names that we kind of like, but nothing fits/feels right yet. Mostly because we're so set on her middle name, which we also aren't sharing. Naming tiny humans is hard.

DH's cat is puking, DS woke up and threw up this morning, I just...I'm not equipped to handle all of this with this giant belly. Can I please hit the reset button on today?
Also WTF it's March which means I'm due this month, and joining the club with all of you saying there's 10,000 things that still need to be done.

My dad tried to start a conversation about it at my shower last weekend, but we legitimately don't even have a list. I think we might have a middle name, but that's it. Our kid might leave the hospital nameless.

My coworkers threw me a shower today! It was surprise lunch and they contributed to some gift cards and some goodies like clothes and swaddle blankets. It was so, so nice.
I want to make sure I thank everyone properly. Help me draft a thank you email? I figure I will write individual thank you notes for those who gave wrapped gifts as individuals, but for everyone who attended the lunch and/or signed the group card, a thank you email this afternoon should suffice? Yes?
"Hi everyone,
Thank you so much to all who made today such a special surprise! Lunch was lovely (both the food and your company) and your gifts are so generous. I am grateful to work with such kind, supportive colleagues and I can’t tell you how much it means to me to celebrate our family’s joy with you. Thank you again.
Much love, calendula"
