I walked out to my car this morning and the bottom of my travel mug came off the lid and hot coffee sprayed everywhere; all over me, the garage, and both cars. It was 6am. It's that kind of day today apparently.
I'm having really bad menstrual like crampiness and my back is killing me. C'mon body, hang in there!

I slept like shit last night. In between getting up to pee 4 times, I thought maybe I was leaking fluid so I got totally freaked out. Now I’m pretty sure that it was just normal discharge (so gross) but it definitely kept me awake. Also DS came into bed with us twice. When I did manage to fall asleep, I was dreaming that my water legit broke and I had to go in for a c-section. I wish I could call into work.

cnf- sorry for the shitty start, I hope your day turns around and you got more coffee. pootsen- I hate pregnancy dreams... whether they’re pregnancy related or not, they just seem to suck. I hope your day goes by quickly.

I’m feeling better from Sunday, but finding it hard to do much. I just don’t have the energy and these BHs are starting to become painful... all the time. I also feel like he’s trying to claw his way out of me at times.

I am a pregnancy newb today. I woke up twice last night with cramping in my back...and legitimately couldn’t figure out if they were contractions. It subsided so I guess I’m fine. This kid is still all up in my ribs so I’m assuming he will drop before ish gets real.

I'm sorry for the crappy nights and mornings everyone. I am finding it harder and harder to get out of bed in the mornings.

My nurse called to tell me my bile acids have lowered some since the last draw. She said there is a small chance the Dr may push my induction back to the original Nov. 1 date, but it's unlikely. We'll talk about it more at my appointment on Thursday.
I REFUSE TO BE PREGNANT ANOTHER WEEK. THEY CAN'T MAKE ME. I will plant so hard in l&d after my steroid injection this week of they try. Last night was the kind of night where I considered taking actual sandpaper to my skin to help with the itching.

cnf, Sorry for the awful start - hope the day improves pootsen, Ugh - why must the nights be so difficult? mrspiatt, Get all the rest bazi, I legit have no idea if I'm having BH or contractions or just cramps. My MIL was all over me on Saturday because she was positive that I was in the beginning stages of labor - I thought I was just having some cramping. I still don't know LOL spacecadet, Me too! Especially now that it has been cool the past couple of mornings, I just want to stay in my bed AnnPerkins, Oh I hope that they don't move the date on you - that would be awful! Sending lots of good thoughts your way!

AnnPerkins I hope you get some relief soon! spacecadet me too! It doesn't help that the pups have been extra cuddly in the mornings too. Hope you get some better sleep tonight pootsen! I took yesterday off so I could get stuff done. Did all my returns and went to the grocery store. I have a list of what we still need but I have a work shower next week so I want to hold off on buying things until after that. The waiting is making me anxious even though I know if this kid came tomorrow we'd be ok.

I had a super weird night and was almost certain it was going to end with baby Roloma. I wasn't getting much movement at all in the evening last night and had to really push and shake to get him to move even a little. I finally went to sleep around 11pm, after a couple of ok movements that eased my mind a bit. I woke to pee 3 times and the 3rd time at 2:30am had some brown bleeding. I am pretty sure it was just from messing with my belly/the baby so much all evening. Since it scared me, I decided to see if I could get him going again. After about an hour of poking, prodding, shining flashlights, drinking water and gatorade, and begging I got enough movement to assure me that he was still going ok in there. I slept 1 fucking hour after that, ONE. He's been moving and having hiccups this morning so I am not going to call the OB but I am definitely keeping a close eye on it. DNW to go to l&d in the middle of the night.
I am now scrambling to get things done at work, just in case. That was super scary and I don't want to do it again. My coworkers think I won't have him in longer than 48 more hours, and I don't necessarily disagree, although we could all be surprised. It would be nice if he would just come while DS1 was at daycare and not in the middle of the night. It would give everyone time to get their shit together.

roloma- I’m glad he’s moving around again. I hate when Jack decides not to move for a while. I hope things go smoothly from here on out.

That all sounds suspiciously like the calm before the storm, roloma. Any chance you could get someone to watch DS1 overnight tonight just in case? Sorry for the lousy start to the day, cnf. You should obviously just go home and put your feet up. AnnPerkins, I can't even imagine the itching you must be dealing with. My belly is awful right now and I slathered myself in Benadryl cream before climbing into bed last night... still took me all of my willpower not to scratch. Hydrocortisone and Benadryl are doing very little. FX your team does NOT move your induction date back. Is it weird if we hope your bile salts get out of whack again? Not, like... dangerous out-of-whack. Just enough for them to keep the sooner date.

misskilljoy, I may have been a little disappointed the bile numbers didn't go up and I would have to be induced asap. I'm so sorry about your itching. I hope there is something out there that will give you relief.

misskilljoy , I may have been a little disappointed the bile numbers didn't go up and I would have to be induced asap. I'm so sorry about your itching. I hope there is something out there that will give you relief. I cut all my nails so they do nothing. I ruined a shirt last week scratching because I made myself bleed. My belly is a wreck. Good thing I was never a bikini type. Fortunately, I have an end in sight! It took a while after delivery last time for the itching to totally subside, but I'm hoping it's a little faster this time and I'm too busy with two kids to really scratch.

I know that bleeding, tiger stripe scratch lines life well. Showers seem to help during and for about 30 min after, but unfortunately I don't live the kind of life where I can just be in the shower all day. The itching stopped before I left the hospital after DD was born, but took about a week to go away after DS. I have some concerns that this could linger longer. I'm hoping, like you, that I'll be too distracted to notice.

pootsen twins again re: regular discharge vs thinking my water broke. I think I am slightly scarred from last time. My water broke with a pop when I turned over in the MOTN, so now when I turn over my hand just immediately goes to my crotch to check.

Good morning all. Sorry for the coffee tragedy cnf. Also sending hugs to everyone who slept like crap last night! I slept well until I woke up at 5am with a bunch of things running through my head and couldn't fall back asleep. Got up at 6:30 though and ticked a few things off my mental list, so hopefully I'll be able to survive the day I think I'll get a coffee soon though.

misskilljoy, we don't really have the option of anyone watching DS overnight. I am just going to pretend like it won't happen during the night. We would have about an hour before anyone can get to us to watch DS1 so worst case scenario, we bring him to the hospital and H hangs out with him in the waiting area until someone can get there. If I have to labor with just the nurses, I can totally manage that. H kind of annoyed me last time anyway

I legit have no idea what labour with my husband around is going to be like because he left the hospital just after they broke my water to get the camera (they told us we had HOURS!!) and only came back during the active pushing phase. 20 minutes to spare. I feel like I'm going to get annoyed with him in the room, haha. He's so overbearing and protective sometimes. And I probably won't want anyone touching me.

I absolutely couldn't stand anyone touching me and H was trying to calm me by touching and talking. Nope. Get away from me. It sounds like we have the same H. I finally had to just tell him to stop talking to me.

I woke up 3 times from dreaming I was in labor. I haven't had any signs of labor but each time I told myself I'm packing my bags today. For real this time.

I don't know why but he keeps trying to scratch my belly like a dog and I'm like WTF, NO. Not approved. Flat hands on lower back - ok. I do not want to feel your fingertips! Bah.

You can do it bubbles, just start throwing stuff in. I can't decide if I want to go out and buy a pair of slippers special for the hospital. I will maybe just wear some old slip on shoes. I don't really think my feet will be cold necessarily.
