Pregnancy Info HOME

Girls, I think I got bigger just today! I laid down for a nap and when I went to get up I could barely do it and then when I stood up it felt like my belly was suddenly pulling down in front and just felt SO much heavier!!! Then Jessie came home and I was wearing a stretchy tank (it is getting so hot even with the a/c on) and he looked at me and goes "WHOA! Your belly is huge! Did that just happen today?" I swear it is so weird because i noticed and then he did shortly after. I wonder what that is all about? I'm going to do a 36 week pic on Thursday or Friday. That will be it until the day I go to the hospital...I'll have Jessie take one then too.

STEF - I felt the same exact way yesterday - I had on a fitted wifebeater and shorts and Cor was like '"Babe Babe Babe - d__n you have a big belly!!" I said I know I had just looked in the mirror and thought the same thing - I was like I can't believe I have 3 more weeks to go - I am so huge!!

LOL! That is what I have on...wifebeater :) Those tanks are the bomb because they are so long they cover the whole belly. I bought some colored ones at Old Navy and then bought a pack of white mens ones at walmart. I even wear them under some tshirts or maternity shirts that are getting too short due to the bigger belly. Yep, can you believe about 3 weeks to go? I wonder when my doc will tell me if she is inducing a week early. Probably not until my 37 or 38 week appt. She wants to see if i'm dilating at all on my own I think.

I love wife beaters for sleeping and I snagged all of Cor's old ones they are size medium and he now wears a large - I will wear them as shirts once I am off - it's starting to get warm so sleeveless is going to be great! Ok girls I will be heading home soon.

Hey girls, some of you might remember me. I usually follow up with this thread, just never really post anything. This is my second pregnancy, almost 35 weeks. For the past 3 weeks now my Braxton Hicks have gotten so strong, they hurt, I have them every 5-10 minutes. I get menstrual like cramping ones every night and they last about a minute each and are 5-7 minutes apart. The other night I was up for almost 3 hours thinking I'm in labor. So after all this I go in for my appointment and the dr. checks me and tells me that my cervix is LONG AND CLOSED. Hahaha, I was so convinced that something is happening down there due to all the pain I've been in. It's like latent labor every day for me. The dr. said that it's all because this is my second pregnancy and those are just Braxton Hicks even though they definitely hurt like real contractions...my belly is constantly hard, aaaaaaah.

Hey Sasha welcome back! - I think that is weird I know that every pregnancy is different but I never really had bh contractions with my 2nd but I do have them now......tomorrow is my appointment so I will see if I have dilated at all I'll be exactly 36 weeks tomorrow. I hope they don't tell me I am closed up like Fort Knox but if they do that's ok too.... I would really like to make it to my induction date so my mom and dad get home in time....LOL well now we are all ticking time bombs....tick tock tick tock....LOL if you find you can't sleep check the thread for chat threads - whoever can't sleep will name it whatever night it is chat thread hope to see you more! Take care and keep us posted as to when you little one arrives

hey everyone- im still very pregnant but im getting closer to labor i can tell.

hey everyone- im still very pregnant but im getting closer to labor i can tell. but i went pee & i had a bit of brownish discharge is that normal?

I think it may be? Definitely call your doctor just in case. I mean call your doctors office and just ask a nurse. I'm thinking Strad will be here by this time next week :)

KENDRA - all that s_x and the losing of your mucus plug I'd say that is normal.....I have been having pretty painful contractions - I mean they kept me up a couple of hours in the middle of the night but they aren't consistent but they sure hurt...arrgghh and I am not ready. I want my mom here and I still have lots to do to get ready! ....ok girls I'll check in more later I have my appt at 1145 PST I'll check in after and let you know how it went

tina- i didnt even have s_x yesterday surprisingly i was tooo TIRED after my long walk lol.

KENDRA could be more of your plug or from the s_x you had a couple days ago....? did you call yoru doc? I still think you should be in the hospital to be monitored more closely
