Getting there...

PrairieMom wrote: Had my weekly Dr's appt yesterday. There isn't much happening yet. I went off my contraction meds monday, and have been having tons of BH, even possibly a few contractions, they feel kind of like period cramps, but I'm not really progressing. Its strange. I have never gone this long with out progressing! I was done with Ben by this point and I was around a 3 ish with Al.
So, I am hanging out, probably for a few more weeks. I may get my May baby after all!
I am kind of dreading church tho, last week the preschoolers informed me that I was going to have a very very VERY big baby. I FINALLY got asked if I was only having one, ( can you believe it! I was being asked that at 24 weeks with my other 2 pregnancies. ) although, one guy asked if I was having triplets. He nearly got kicked in the shins. He is lucky he was at church at the time.
So, we are headed for my all time personal best, which is 38 weeks. After Monday I will be the pregnantest I have ever been.

PrairieMom replied:
LOL.
Everyone around me is watching so closely because my babies have both come early , so people are getting super excited. I keep reminding them that I still have 17 days left, that is a loooooooooong time to maintain this level of anticipation. every single time I call my mom, she is just sure that its because its "time" I don't know how many times she has told me that her bag is packed and that she is ready to come help with the kids. She lives 4 BLOCKS AWAY. With everyone around me getting so excited it is making it really hard for me to stay calm about the whole thing.

He's a smart one, for sure!!

Why do you want to stay calm? Get happy, excited and plan for the most pregnant you have ever been! (I mean that in the nicest way!)

I think this little boy is your most sly and clever, he isnt coming when everyone is looking, he is waiting to make his enterence just when everyone is not expecting it.

A&A'smommy replied: wow sounds like you might actually get your may baby, although I don't want to jinx you ok so now that it is so close to time I expect updates 3 times a day on fb just to make sure you haven't gone into labor yet

PrairieMom replied:
I have contractions ALL THE TIME. Like 30- 50 a day. I don't want to be thinking that this is " the one" every time I have one. I don't want to worry that my water is going to break at any second and be scared to leave the house KWIM? I have 17 days to go. thats a looooong time to be anticipating like that.

My mom had her first two kids a few weeks early, and I was around 3 weeks late. Every pregnancy is different!

coasterqueen replied:
Are they BH or contractions? Because you can have a ton of BH all day long. I had them very early on with Megan all the way up until I had her. I swear I thought I was going into labor so many times that when I actually WAS in labor I just thought they were BH still.

It won't be long. Try to enjoy it, especially if this is your last pg. I know I wish I would have enjoyed mine more when I was pg with Megan since I knew it was my last pg. It was just such a difficult pg not knowing if we were going to make it or not I was in constant fear instead of relaxed.

PrairieMom replied:
yeah, they are BH, with a few uncomfortable period feeling type cramps sprinkled in here and there. I went through this with Al too, I went a week contracting all day every day before I went into actual labor.
I truly don't think this kid is coming before next monday for sure, I will be super surprised if he does, I just wish everyone would relax for a couple days.
I am getting daily calls from my mom, my MIL and my sister. Anything yet? anything yet? I should turn off my phone and give myself some piece for an afternoon.
