How far are you / what is your due date? 38w5d - Dec 6th
What's the latest from your doc/OB? Currently being monitored in trage as the sono indicated the cord may be around the neck. Other than that everything looks fine even from the BPP. This is either happening today or induction Thursday.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally? Done. Done. Done.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? I got nothing today

How far are you / what is your due date? Due date Dec. 7th, RCS scheduled on Dec. 6th
What's the latest from your doc/OB? "Doesn't matter if I go into labor, they are just going to go get him" Basically just normal weight checks, BP checks, Urine Checks. I have an appointment scheduled for Thursday.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally? I am so over the acid reflux. It's to the point where Zantac doesn't work at night. I have a pinched nerve, sciatica thing happening in my butt. It makes walking extremely painful. Tylenol barely takes the edge off. And now I am noticing my left leg is starting to hurt because I am over compensating for the right side.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? Not looking forward to the sleepless nights again and around the clock feedings. But I am looking forward to being at home and not having to worry about work.
QOTW: It's been a while since we discussed baby names. Share yours if you're comfortable! If not, share a cute baby name that's come up among your friends/family lately. This kid will be Emmett James Last Name. Last time we had two names for N and we went with our first choice anyway. This time, Emmett is our first choice so we didn't bother coming up with a second.

How far are you / what is your due date? 38w today! Due date 12/11
What's the latest from your doc/OB? Saw her today. Baby is head down induction is scheduled for 12/11 as long as they have a bed for me.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally?
I’m done!! I had some cramping last night and I thought it was go time. I’m just crossing everything right now that DH will make it home in time, but I’m emotionally preparing myself that he may not be here.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? Family driving me bonkers. Mainly people asking if I’ll let them visit the hospital ( I’ve already told everyone just DD and grandparents bc I don’t want a ton of people In and out while I’m trying to get the hang of nursing again) ILs texting me every few days for Christmas present ideas. I don’t mind giving ideas bc I know they’re mainly concerned they’ll get something DD already has, but when you’re asking for specific suggestions with model numbers for me, DH, and DD I’m losing my patience. Use your imagination please!
QOTW: It's been a while since we discussed baby names. Share yours if you're comfortable! If not, share a cute baby name that's come up among your friends/family lately.
A friend of mine said Matilda for a girl the other day which I thought was super cute! We’ll know when we see her (I hope!)

How far are you / what is your due date?: Original - 37w3d, due Dec 15 / Edited OB date - 37w6d, due Dec 12 (it's three days, but whatever)
What's the latest from your doc/OB?: 1cm dilated last week, head down, that's about it. My BP has been slightly elevated but since the appointments have been within walking distance of my office they aren't concerned. Urine's checking ok, belly is measuring on target, and baby's HR is good. Just chugging along.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally?: For the most part I feel fine, except for the random emotional bursts and the nighttime reflux. Zantac used to last me almost a full 24 hours but it's just not cutting it, so I will talk to them about it at my appointment on Wednesday.
AWs, Vents, Randoms?: We may have a battle brewing if this baby comes before my inlaws get back from their cruise. I have made it clear to H and BIL that if that happens, I want his parents to wait 3-5 days before coming up here to make sure they aren't sick from the cruise, especially if they aren't getting shots. And that if they're sick, they wait until they're better to come up. I don't think this is a huge ask, but my MIL can be twitchy about some things. (I say 3-5 days because anything viral should present within that timeframe, right?)
QOTW: It's been a while since we discussed baby names. Share yours if you're comfortable! If not, share a cute baby name that's come up among your friends/family lately.: Neil Thomas. It's from my maiden name and H's first.

How far are you / what is your due date?
36 weeks, 2 days Due date was 12/27, moved to 12/23, now scheduled RCS on 12/11 due to 4th CS.
What's the latest from your doc/OB?
I had an ultrasound this morning and everything was good. Baby measuring 6lbs 5oz.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally?
Not too bad. First official day of maternity leave since schools were closed since my last day. Hips hurt when I lay down and lots of contractions in the evening but otherwise ok.
AWs, Vents, Randoms?
My 7 year old gets migraines and throws up from them. It happened at 2am. She was back to sleep quickly but I was up watching her for hours. Need some sleep tonight.

How far are you / what is your due date? 37w3d, due 12/15
What's the latest from your doc/OB? Baby is head down and a little over 6lbs as of last week. Doc said be prepared for him to come anytime; I told him I spoke with DS and he needs to stay put for another week or two, I have things to do!
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally? This pregnancy has been so much easier than my last (knock on wood). No sciatica, no heatburn, etc. Mostly just pressure on my hips/pelvis area. Here's hoping the last couple weeks follow suit.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? I got nothing today.
QOTW: His name will be G.uy Ale.xa.nder, which are both family names.
Without the dots of course - I don't know if that actually helps keep it from google searches, but force of habit from the bump days!

How far are you / what is your due date? 37w2d 12/16, RCS 12/6
What's the latest from your doc/OB? Currently waiting for my last appt. I’ll update if anything comes up.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally? Physically even neighborhood dog walks leave me really sore. I’ve had to slow down a lot recently. I waddle. Emotionally I think I’m better now that DD’s room is done and she is moved. We are stupidly still trying to finish up a few house projects with 9 days to go. We are dumb.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? I’m starting to get nervous about the surgery again, but know it’s the best choice for me.
QOTW: It's been a while since we discussed baby names. Share yours if you're comfortable! If not, share a cute baby name that's come up among your friends/family lately.
We have 2 names each sex and will probably wait to try them on the baby for the first day again. They are basically the same as last time, so I was weirdly anxious when ILs made a game about guessing the sex and date at thanksgiving and SIL finally remembered my top boy name from last pregnancy. I don’t really want ppl weighing in, but they all were.

ldubhawksfan, sorry people were trying to figure out your baby names. If you don't want to talk about it, they need to respect your wishes!! And keep all opinions to themselves.

I guess it’s my fault for mentioning them after DD was born and named 2 years ago. I should have realized with how picky I am that there was a chance it would be the same lists. And luckily no one from my ILs said anything negative about them, but it was still weird to have her “guess” the name and “win” if it’s a boy. IDK. |

How far are you / what is your due date? Friday! 4 more days!!!
What's the latest from your doc/OB? Baby is head down, I’m 2cm, and everything down there is swollen. Induction Friday. My doctor says I’m patient because most people would have scheduled earlier.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally? I’m tired, sore, crampy, and hungry. Also not leaving the house much to keep from getting sick.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? So since the Dr has been saying we will have to be induced everyone wants to know what day. I told H to pick a random day next week for us to tell everyone because I’m not telling anyone it’s friday.
QOTW: It's been a while since we discussed baby names. Share yours if you're comfortable! If not, share a cute baby name that's come up among your friends/family lately.
Baby will either be Brendan David or Juliana Rose. H picked both names.

How far are you / what is your due date? 36w4d, induction set for next Monday!
What's the latest from your doc/OB? Growth ultrasound estimated baby at 6lbs15oz and I'm 3cm dilated so induction will just be pitocin and water breaking.
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally? Physically I've been sore and feeling a lot of pressure/pain because he's so low. Emotionally, I'm ready to be done.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? Not right now.
QOTW: It's been a while since we discussed baby names. Share yours if you're comfortable! If not, share a cute baby name that's come up among your friends/family lately. I think we're decided, but we'll wait until he's here for sure to decide.

How far are you / what is your due date? 36 weeks, which means we made it to goal! Induction planned for 38 weeks if the girls aren’t here yet.
What's the latest from your doc/OB? Growth scan today!
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally? More of the same, very hard to walk with two full sized babies crushing my pelvis. But I’ve been having more bursts of energy which is nice.
AWs, Vents, Randoms? The babies’ room is almost complete. And we got our Christmas Tree this weekend and most decor set up, so I’m actually starting to feel ready for the babies to come!
QOTW: Baby Names, Siena Noelle and Paris Valentina

How far are you / what is your due date? 36 weeks. Due 12/26 What's the latest from your doc/OB? I have an apt tomorrow.  I am going to specifically ask that they check my cervix even if it's not part of the doc's plan because I have a feeling my contractions are getting things ready... How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally?: I am in a lot of pain but emotionally I am doing well. I am really excited to meet him and have him home. I thought I'd be more sad about E not being an only child any more but instead I am just so so excited for him to have a best friend. He's going to be a damn good big brother. AWs, Vents, Randoms? My maternity leave starts on 12/15 but I am just so over it. I am ready to be done now. QOTW: Baby Name: Lowen James |

But then I think of the same reasons why we added to our family and I realize that his baby brother is a gift. DH and I start to freak out about having two kids but boy was I happy to see that thread in general discussions about going from 1-2. It really helped ease my mind quite a bit. |

How far are you / what is your due date?
39+1 / 12/5
What's the latest from your doc/OB?
Just came from an appointment - cervix soft but still firmly closed. If needed I will go back on Monday and schedule an induction for the following week. Crossing my fingers so hard that baby comes this weekend!
How's late pregnancy treating you - physically, emotionally?
I'm so done. The kicks are really hurting me, I can't sleep for shit, and I'm pretty sure I'm starting to get hemorrhoids. Oddly, the swelling in my face seems to have gone down.
AWs, Vents, Randoms?
Today is the last day I'm going into the office. I was planning to work from home up until baby comes, but most of my projects have been wrapped up and there's not much for me to do, so I may take some sick time because I am checked OUT.

Welp, just got done with the doc. I told her I was having contractions last week (at 35 weeks) and she checked my cervix today and I am 3cm dilated. Head is down but still a little high. She seemed surprised and said "oh wow, well those were real contractions last week you're already at least 3cm dilated." Which made me laugh because I think she probably thought I was exaggerating my BH or something...

O.o cue nervous laughter. Mama needs her epidural yo, let's not go too fast. Kthanks. |

Just spent 2 hours at the doctor's office for my appointment (the one I was seeing was running very behind today apparently). No major changes, baby's doing well. Doc told me they'll typically let me go a week past my due date for induction purposes, and the scheduling window opens two weeks before that, so someone next week will talk to me about scheduling the eviction notice provided DS doesn't decide to move out on his own before then.
