Considering I didn't feel well today and slept most of the day until 3pm, I felt so much better and got a bunch of freezer meals done! The freezer now has a total of 24 meals in it and all I have left to fix are the Enchiladas, mac and cheese, and breakfast stuff. If I have time and energy, I'll be getting lactation cookies into the freezer, too. My nesting seems to have been soothed which has dropped my anxiety levels about being ready for this baby to show up. I didn't even care that H didn't get the painting finished in the kids room lol But I guess he plans on doing it tomorrow since he's not going into work.

redhead610 I agree that it sounds like it could be a deep clog. If you havenβt tried vibration yet, you might give that a shot with a vibrator or electric toothbrush. My SIL ended up with frequent deep clogs and swore by the vibrator trick.

I keep feeling like something is going to happen and then it goes away. Not crampy at all right now or feeling any contractions. Iβm anxious AF though. FTM and Iβm just alternating being like ok cook I can do this and holy crap I cannot do this and having little panic attacks. π

strawberrykiki, I think that is completely normal! You can do it. Plus babies are pretty tough and will survive even if everything isn't perfect. The fact that you are anxious says to me that you will be a great mom. Plus there are a lot of us here that done this before and we are glad to help support you and help you make it through the newborn days. You got this!

TashaLa omg yayyy! Congratulations lady! So happy for you and canβt wait to see an update later! strawberrykiki I think itβs 100% normal to go back and forth between feeling ready but also anxious. As I mentioned yesterday, I was in pre-labor for weeks before DD was born and as annoying as it is just try to think of it as progress. Your body is preparing you and youβll have your LO in your arms in no time. Hugs!!

I had intense contractions for an hour late last night. Totally freaked me out -- I'm not ready yet! But then they fizzled out to nothing. With my first, I had nothing except some mild cramps before going into labor. Now, something is going on each day. My OB confirmed nothing is happening in terms of my cervix, but last night it felt like the real thing. It's such a mindf*ck!
Also, I realized, I'm not emotionally ready for labor. I've been so focused on a possible c-section that I found myself unprepared for going through labor again. If the ultrasound confirms the baby flipped, I need to read some birth stories or something. And maybe pack a hospital bag.

strawberrykiki Youβve totally got this! The time leading up to labor, analyzing all the symptoms, all of the cramps and pre-labor contractions...itβs such a mind bender. All of your feelings are 100% normal. For me, it was a relief when I finally knew that I was Actually In Labor, and I could kind of mentally sit back and let my body do its thing (aside from one more freak out when it was time to push π). Youβll be on the other side and rocking this mom gig so soon β€οΈ

Thanks so much ladies! Night 1 went well. I forgot just how sleepy they are! BFing is going ok- needing the nipple shield, but sheβs latching well to that. DD is coming after preschool to meet her, I canβt freaking wait!
