Lil Shamrocks - It's MARCH! (chat thread)

[NappyChappy]

What the **** why am I still pregnant!?!? I have been walking around 4cm 75% for 2 weeks. I am ready to cry I am so tired of being pregnant. I need my baby out so I can get on with life and start taking my meds again. I keep telling it to come out so we can give it hugs and kisses but it's not listening already

I have had bloody show all week until today, been hiking 1-2 miles a day, taking 5w and EPO, pushing pressure points, and eating pineapple. What else? I need to have more sex I am having MW strip my membranes at my 38 week on Monday. I asked her about if she'd ever accidentally broke water and she said no- that makes me feel better.

Not to mention that I pulled a muscle in my stomach which burns every time I do anything, my ankle still feels like s*** from being sprained, and I have a huge bruise and scrape on my thigh where the animals at work hit me on Tuesday.

OK I think this rant is over for the moment

I'm so jealous of the ladies who have already delivered their little ones!!!! They are all so cute!

I'll be 41 weeks tomorrow. Surprisingly, I feel better now than I did at 33 weeks & I'm content to wait for my little procrastinator to come out on his own time. Yay for my MIL/doula being here & taking me on walks & reminding me to do Kegels! I know that's helped a lot w/ my pelvic pain. Lol...

i'm right there with you, exactly. my appt was on thursday and that is what i was told as well plus that she has dropped. i've been using my husband quite a bit and using epo soft gels vaginally. i'm really, REALLY hoping she'll show this weekend. i wouldn't mind having a little shamrock baby .

I started losing my mucus plug a couple days ago and last night I started to have some bloody show. This morning I feel really crappy and every once in a while I feel like I have to poo but it goes away.

On the bright side, I am so grateful to be on maternity leave right now. Being able to just give into feeling crappy and curl up in a ball on my bed is awesome.

Anyone other mamas have an insatiable thirst? Nothing quenches it but water...and a lot of it! I think I'm up to 120+ oz/day now.

I must still have my bladder of steel bc I don't pee any more than before I was pg or even when I was pg.

I drank 19+ cups of water yesterday. I pee often, but I always have. Luckily I'm not wanting pop or anything. Water and the occasional coffee. I aim to drink 12 cups of water, but I am finding I go over most days (but 19+ was insane yesterday).
