Yasssss. My MW said "see you next week, if I don't see you in L&D first!" this morning. I think it will be quite a bit longer than that because 5/31 EDD but it's so exciting. Must think about my hospital bag eventually.

I asked my ob today when they would induce (I’m due next Thur) he said that they wouldn’t schedule it until I’m 7 days over due. I went to my car and cried. I just am so uncomfortable and I’ve been 3cm for 3 weeks now - as of today I was 4cm. I just feel like it’s never going to happen

I’m glad to have made it to a May bday for the baby, and I had a day to myself today to rest and relax, which was the only other thing I really wanted pre-birth.
He can now come anytime. Preferably by this weekend or I may cry.

I’m due Friday and there is no current plan for induction if I’m late. I can barely walk I’m so uncomfortable. I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be much farther than my most recent 3 cm at my appt on Wednesday, but I’m afraid to get too hopeful because I could have a while still.

Its so frustrating. I understand not inducing just because especially when its early but when your 40 weeks and dilating its just annoying!!

I might ask for a sweep at my appointment Wednesday (39+2). I normally wouldn't but IDK, I just am feeling urgency for some reason.
Here's a stupid/silly question, I'm getting a mother's ring done after this baby. My kids are/will be April-May-May. So do I do the birthstones in that order, which feels unbalanced, or do I do the birthstones May-April-May which looks even but isn't the right order?

tincupchalice just think of it like a traditional monogram: first name-surname-middle name (where the middle letter is larger). Out of order but technically right. I’d def do them May-April-May.

You could think of it like a monogram. The first is in the middle, followed by the other two. Visually I would need it to be M-A-M, so that's how I would justify it to myself.

Yaaaaaay! It’s May!!!
It’s Tuesday afternoon here, first two of my 3 kid free days off before Baby almost done.
So far I’ve packed my bag and baby’s bag, washed about 6 loads of toys/towels/blankets etc, gone through DD’s clothes and packed away anything too small, had a capsule installed and DD’s seat moved over, had my last OB appt (see you next week in delivery!), seen a few friends for coffee catch ups and this afternoon DH and I are meeting with a lawyer to update our wills for the kids.
Thursday is pedicure and wax, buying some adapters for my pram to make it a double, Cleaning my car inside and out and purging some stuff to take to charity.
Therapeutic!
This time next week I’ll be snuggling my baby girl. Holy shit.

One of my friends just pointed out that if I do april-may-may the mays would blend together and it wouldn't look like three stripes. So I'm totally sold on may-april-may now.

I'm the most pregnant I've ever been since my first came at 37 weeks and I'm 37 weeks, 3 days now. All of a sudden today this feeling like I'm a ticking time bomb that can go into labor at any time really hit me. Like wow, my water could just break sitting there at my desk. And then what, I have to clean it up? Or contractions could start mid drive home. Bizarre feeling. I'm so glad Friday is my last day at work. Not sure being at home will make that feeling go away though haha
I scheduled myself a facial/brow wax for next Tuesday with a gift card I had. So surely that means I'll probably go into labor on the spa table right? Or right before my appointment?
I'm curious what my OB will find during my cervical check in Wednesday. I've definitely had an increase in pressure and contractions over the weekend. So I'm wondering if anything is actually happening.

May-April-May, for sure.
I’m getting a ring too and it’ll either be May/May or May/June. I’d love to have more than one stone type but I also don’t want this baby to be late. FWP clearly.

@lovewaysalison I’ve been nervous about my water breaking too, even though they had to break it for me with DD.
Mostly, it’s because I have a cold so when I cough... my bladder is not coping. So I half thought perhaps it’s my waters leaking and not pee. My OB assured me it’s probably pee. Lovely. The glamour of 38 weeks 😂

I’m not due until late June, so I don’t *really* go here yet, but I did find out at a growth scan yesterday that baby is head down (I was under the impression that because of my unicornuate uterus and history of breech presentation that this was unlikely), so now I want to talk to my provider about whether I may be a good candidate for VBAC?
Things are getting kinda real all of a sudden!

With DS my water broke at work. It wasn't a huge mess thankfully. I had a change of clothes in my car and just had to change my underwear and take off the shaper I was wearing since I was wearing a skirt. I'm thinking this time I'll put extra underwearin my purse jic, since it's a much further walk to my car.
6 weeks from today is my scheduled c, not that I'm counting or anything.
Good luck and labor vibes to those due soon.

lovealwaysalison I was really freaked out about my water breaking at work. For the last week I was there, I had a change of clothes in my work bag and a towel and garbage bag in my car (the latter are still in there just in case). It made me feel better and less likely that it would happen being prepared. I do feel much calmer about going into labor now that I’m home, hopefully it’ll be the same for you.

adeline I’m having the same issue with the bladder control/fluids. It’s getting worse as I get closer and I’m leaking more.

Hey I'm going to try to post pictures and a birth story later today. I had an emergency c-section that I apparently snored through because my husband and nurse friends had me sedated. But we had a beautiful baby boy born on Friday.
Otherwise, we keep getting bad news and I miss DS1. I haven't been in a very good place mentally.

I'm glad you checked in, I've been thinking about you. Congrats on the baby boy! I am sorry things aren't going well otherwise. Sending good vibes to you and your family, I hope you get some good news and your whole family is back together again soon.

I'm having a baby today, in about 3 hours.
We're finishing fully puppy proofing the downstairs now & H is installing the carseat. We have to leave in about 45 minutes to get to the hospital. I keep yawning. Apparently, I didn't sleep that great last night.

Also, I need to install our infant seat today too. With V, I had it in the car at 35 weeks. I'm due in 3 days and it's still sitting in our garage. Whoops.
