Moms between 35 and 40 weeks.

I'm at 36 weeks and 2 days. Baby is head down, dialated 1cm, and Ob says my cervix is soft. Hardly experiencing contractions. Getting comfy is getting harder and I have to pee every 2 hours throughout the night! Yuck. I was curious what other ladies were experiencing right now.

I am 38+4 and I was 2 cm and thinned on Wednesday. She also stripped my membrane. I been having contractions since the sweep. I lost a lot of mucas today. I feel different so maybe today is the day. I have mild constant cramping. Baby is still moving but not as much. Today's pain is different then the last 3 days.

I'll be 36 weeks Tuesday- my daughter was also head down at my last appointment but I haven't been checked for softening or dilation yet-i will at Tuesdays appointment. I'm having a few spuratic contractions but nothing to brag about. I too wake up every 2 hours to pee and chug water. My hips are so sore during Thr night and I'm constantly changing positions. I'm working for another 2 weeks and then I'm off until the 12 of January. Yay!!
All you ladies hang in there, not much longer for us!

I'm 38w5d . I haven't dilated any. My cervix is high. My original due date was oct 12, now I'm having a scheduled c-section on October the 10th. my pelvis is really small. So 6 more days for me. I don't have any energy, and my son weighs 9lbs.

36wk and 1 day. im tired. so tired. work is draining me. I'm draining myself. praying i make it another couple wks for another pay check bc i can't afford to purchase anything i need for the hospital this go around. this really *****. Just spoke to my mother. She has a way of  stressing me out and damn near making me depressed. wish i was more energized and enthused right now. i swear my first pregnancy wasn't this dramatic.
