I am hoping it's sooner rather than later too. I don't know what I would do if I went past my due date. I am officially miserable! And I can't wait to see and hold my son. I am getting very excited! And a little nervous. Red, I have really enjoyed having this forum too. It's been great being able to share this experience with others. I also feel like there is still so much to do. It seems like it's going to take forever just to pack for the hospital! I can't stand packing either...I'm totally indecisive!

JAIRIA, your little girl is just plain amazing! I am so glad to hear that she's doing so well! --- So far during this pregnancy I haven't had many complaints. I've had days where my back hurts, but thats been pretty much it... until today. Today I'm SO miserable! I'm so tired from not being able to sleep, I don't know how to position my pillows to get comfy, every time I roll over I wake myself up, I've been having some tummy troubles (not puking though. Ugh) my back and ribs have been acting up, my legs have been cramping badly whenever I walk, and I've had a touch of sciatic pain today. Combine that with the fact that I feel so uncomfortable in all my clothes and I feel like everyone is staring at me, I'm just plain miserable! As much as I love being pregnant and don't want it to end yet, I'm secretly hoping that the doc will decide to move up my due date... which I know wont happen, but a girl can dream! --- And I haven't moved into the apartment yet. Things are going a bit slower than anticipated, so I'm just hoping to have a place picked out by the end of april! that gives us May (since I'm due at the end) to set up house and get ready for baby... which by that time I'm sure I'll be ready to fall on my face!

Hello ladies, I hope you don't mind if I join you. I am due on the 7th of May, so it is coming soon. I am getting quite uncomfortable, however I had to have fertility treatment to get pregnant, so I really so not feel like I am allowed to complain. When are all of your due dates?

Hey Mollie. I'm actually due May 21st, but due to a placenta previa I'll be having a csection April 23rd. I'm excited & ready to be done. This is baby number 5 for me to round out my basketball team - all boys! What are you having?

Hey Mollie welcome!! You can complain whether you had treatments or not, your pregnant congrats!! Now it is time to enjoy it and complain if you want, we are all in the same boat. I am due May 24th but hoping it will happen sooner ;-) RMC looks like you are going to be our next new mommy! Crazy!!!!! Pretty soon we will be posting our birth stories and holding our lil ones.

hi ladies, i hope everyone is hanging in there as our due dates are approaching! i'm due may 6th, which makes me 36 weeks tomorrow. the past few days, the baby has been VERY active! for a 3 hour period last night, he didnt stop moving or kicking/punching me... i was also feeling some tightening, which i a__sume was some mild BH contractions! i felt my cervix, and i could fit the tip of my pointer finger through it... do you think i am dialating? today, i have been getting sharp stretching pains. if you imagine a muscle from your belly b___ton to your crotch being stretched and twisted, that's what it feels like! i am a first timer, so i am probably just freaking out and looking for early labor signs everywhere! i have an ultrasound to measure growth next monday, so we'll see what they say!

Kate, your cervix has two layers to it. Cup your hands and put them together, leaving a space in the middle. It forms kind of an O shape, right? Well, thats how your cervix is. The outer can sometimes be a bit open but you wont be considered dialated unless the inner part is opening too. I have been able to fit a finger tip in my cervix for a while now, but whenever I got cervical checks I was told I was closed!

Hi, I'm back! I had my 36 week appointment yesterday and found out I am 1cm dialated, 70% effaced, and she has dropped to station 0 and over the past week or so I've lost my mucus plug an had bloody show(ick, I know). So I'm hoping it's not too much longer. I have PUPPP(idk if I mentioned that before) and am absolutly miserable. I hope everyone else is doing well!!

Hi girls! Mollie, Welcome! I'm due May 9th and also needed help to get pregnant. We were ttc for 4 years and it finally worked with clomid in combination with IUI. I agree that you can still complain a little ;-) I certainly have! Had my appointment today (now every week) and baby girl is in position! What a relief. My uterus grew one extra cm than normal (which is good since it was 3 weeks behind!). I could really feel that it had grown since I can hardly breathe sometimes and I feel her little b___t pushing up! Went to walmart today and couldn't help but buy every outfit that is not pink (not that easy to find, let me tell you!). Baby clothes are so cute! Ahsley, nice to hear from you! Kate_ welcome!

Hello, first of all, JAIRIA congratulations on your little girl's arrival!! Hope you get to take her home soon and enjoy the rest of your maternity leave at home ... I had my appointment yesterday and they told me that my lo is quite a big baby. I will be 33 weeks tomorrow and she's already weighing 5 pounds! Also found out that she's in transverse position..my doc wants to see me again in two weeks to see if she decided to change positions .. I will let you know what the results are. Hopefully she will go back to the right position and they won't have to schedule a c-section..we're almost there!!!!!

Hi ladies! sarahnicolesmom, I'm right there with you...my baby has been transverse for a month and I am now at 34 weeks, 2 days. They still have time to move but I wish they'd hurry up already! I'd like to stop worrying about it. My N/P told me it was too hard to measure my baby's size because of his position. But they measured your baby for you! Huh. No one has ever told me my baby's size through my entire pregnancy. I'm curious, darnit! Hopefully at my appointment on Friday I will find out more...and hopefully my little guy will turn soon! Cggirl, that's great that your little girl decided to turn head down! Now you can relax a little! Welcome to Mollie and Kate, you joined just in time for all the action! Big belly rubs all around!
