itsmemeg, my stairs are the biggest issue I’ve had. If I only go up/down 2-3 times a day, I’m fine. Any more than that that I notice I’m more sore. I’ve also noticed I’m standing a little more the last two or so days, plus walking the grocery store & Target this week. Gas pains are a good description, though. I’m also not #2ing regularly yet, so I’m wondering if slight constipation is adding to my discomfort. So I just woke up to more bleeding than I’ve had in days. And it’s red again. I wouldn’t say bright red but still. No clots. Were you extra active yesterday? All three times, I’ve had it taper & restart, based on my activity level for the first 3 or so weeks. It was a little longer the first time, but it was a failed labor.

I went to my prenatal class today. It was pretty useless for us really, where I'm having the scheduled C section, but it was good to know what the early signs of labor are just in case, and we got to take a tour of the maternity ward and have a peek in at the operating room for C sections, so that was kind of cool

I’m having a lot of stinging and pain when I use the restroom. It feels worse than it has. Maybe it’s from being more active today with coming home and all?

I'm so tired of waiting. Got a sweep yesterday. Had some show today, but that's it. Argh. I missed this. I'm sorry if you're still waiting. Do you know yet when/if they'll induce you?

I have an appointment tomorrow morning, but we'll probably hold off till the end of the week. HOWEVER, signs are hopeful that I might not make it to tomorrow's appointment so we'll see!

Thinking of you, hope baby decides to come soon! I've been in early labor for 23 hours now. As of this morning's appointment I was 3-4 and thin. I took a little nap and now I'm ready to start walking again, hopefully for a final push before I go to the hospital.

Good luck tincupchalice- sounds like you’re in the final stretch! 23 hours is a long time, glad you’ve been able to rest!

Good luck tincupchalice! I was in early labor for a few days before I finally kicked into active labor, it's miserable! Hope things get moving for you soon.

Ugh. So I completely forgot to take my wedding rings off, and now my hands are so swollen and they won't come off. It is REALLY uncomfortable. I tried soaking, windex, oil, conditioner. I think all the pulling and tugging made it worse today. I really don't hope I have to get them cut off.

My RCS is early Wednesday so O is staying at my mom's starting tomorrow night. Tonight was the last time I tucked him in as my only baby. I held it together until I got out of his room then ugly cried for a half hour. Now to get my last night of sleep for who knows how long!

I'm glad you were able to get some rest tincupchalice! I hope you're holding your baby soon (if not already). All the feels jessila, and good luck on Wednesday.

That works for me sometimes because the swelling usually reduces. There is also a trick where you wind a string really tightly around your finger and then you can thread the rings off. I remember watching a YouTube video about it when I had a close call during my first pregnancy but I never tried it.

I’m kind of glad I didn’t know that my last night was the last night, I would have had a similar reaction.

fancynewbeesly +1 to getting your hand really cold. Last pregnancy my swelling came on pretty fast. Then I made it worse trying all the tricks to get them off. I had to stick my hand in the freezer for a few minutes, and then used slathered it in coconut oil. It finally came off! tincupchalice I hope labor has kicked into gear for you by now! As for me...my due date is on Friday and I'm feeling like baby will never come out. Logically I know that isn't true but logic doesn't do much when omg so uncomfortable! I was 2cm at my appointment last week. Wednesday my OB will strip my membranes and I think we will talk induction dates also since they don't really want me going over my EDD by much. Yesterday we went to a redwood preserve about 20 minutes from home to try and walk the baby out (and also take my new to me car for a cruise). It just got me sciatica and some irregular contractions that puttered out. Sciatica and SPD pain is worse today. Ugh.

Apparently our dog is trying to get us ready for the baby by puking in our bed at 4 in the morning, effectively waking us both up. So now I'm laying on the couch dozing while H is wide awake and our bedding is in the washer.

I think all the pulling and tugging made it worse today. I really don't hope I have to get them cut off. I had to do the string trick. I used waxed dental floss; actually I had DH do it because it was much faster for him using two hands than my trying to do it with one. Surprisingly didn’t hurt! My next stop was going to be the jewelry store to get them cut www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/emergencies-and-first-aid-removing-a-stuck-ring
