Ugh I hate this for you. I am very fortunate that both companies I’ve been at for maternity leave have great leave but I just wasn’t aware of the 5 day waiting period so i was completely shocked. The worst part is that my PTO is included inside the 6-8 weeks of STD. So it's really only 2-4 weeks of STD, and I have to pay work my benefits. So I essentially break even or pay them to take leave. Mine is the exact same way. It really freaking sucks.

I kind of really dislike all of you with ice cream places close enough & open to get ice cream sundaes. My options would be BK or McDonalds at this point, or to wait an hour round trip. ETA: McDonalds would also be about a half hour, in the grand scheme of things. #SmallTownWinterProblems He went to McD’s. It’s like 5 minutes away. Our McD’s ice cream machine is broken 95% of the time. Now I really want a McFlurry but I won’t send DH out this late on the slim chance the machine is working.

If anything, I'd get an apple pie out of the deal and theirs are so good.

Anyone else having awful back pain and possibly anything that gives relief? I've been walking around hunched over for the last couple of days. It sucks. My back hurts almost nonstop these days. I try to sit with my feet up as much as I can in the evenings (easier once V is in bed) and I use my heating pad every night.

I'm having a lot of back pain too, and if I'm trying to do stuff around the house I end up with back spasms. It's awful

I scheduled my next hair cut for the day before my RCS. My stylist said if the baby comes early that she'll come to my house to cut my hair.

While I don't want to get induced again if I can help it, it was really convenient knowing when I would be going into the hospital to plan my haircut and a pedicure.

ETA: McDonalds would also be about a half hour, in the grand scheme of things. #SmallTownWinterProblems I feel ya. We have a gas station in town and they close at 10pm. Otherwise it's a minimum 15 minute drive to just a McDonald's. Stuck in a small town with pregnancy cravings suck.

I’m so keen to keep unpacking and setting everything up in the new house, but the baby cracked it after a few hours and tried to escape Alien-style out of my belly button, so I am taking the hint and sitting for a while.
At least DD is having a lovely big sleep (2.5 hours so far) cause she’s had a crazy 3 weeks and needs to catch up.

Those of you who know Rama - she's being induced and has a thread on the March/April board.

Anyone else having Braxton Hicks often? I never really had any with ds but I’ve already started to have some this pregnancy, especially if I’m very active

Definitely feeling pregnant today. Tired, sore, was waddling by the end of my shift. But I'm off for 2 days and I got to go and pick up the first of my cloth diapers and that made it alright.

I don't even understand what anatomy is where right now. Something rolls around and something kicks/hits every once in a while.

With DD I got them around 28-30 weeks. This time I've had them since about 18 weeks- at least my OB warned me that might happen or I might have freaked out!

Today, I'm playing the "BH or baby butt" game today. Mine is like a combo. I get BH mostly on the right side where her butt is and my whole stomach goes lopsided on the right and super tight for like a minute then it subsides.

I’ve had BH pretty regularly with both pregnancies. Mine aren’t painful just a little uncomfortable

I get really painful BH a couple of times a day, but only when I'm at work. Stress? Dehydration? Dunno

+1 to having BH often this pregnancy but not in my first pregnancy. Exercise brings them on as does vomiting.
