I'm so incredibly anxious and excited, but don't have much of a support group so said screw it and decided to ask y'all GLP ladies.
My due date is the 30th of this month, but I really feel like there's no way i'm going to make it. MY intuition is telling me that I will have her within the next week; and my intuition is NEVER WRONG. I knew I was pregnant with a girl before my pregnancy was confirmed; that's how intune to myself I am lol.
Anyhow, my first pregnancy I was super lazy and took advantage a bit too much. Gained too much weight, didn't stay active, and had contractions on and off for two and a half days. This time around though, I've been very active, exercised quite a bit, and only gained 20 pounds here at almost 37 weeks. I just have this feeling that I'm not going to make it much longer and I am extremely anxious, I have this "building" feeling that has gotten stronger the last couple days. At my appointment last week I was 50% effaced and 1 cm dilated, so all my cramps have been doing something. Since that appointment she has dropped more and my inner thighs are killer sore, and my pelvis hurts so bad when I walk. My hips are also popping lol. It hurts the worst at night when I get up to pee. But anyways I have been having more and more menstrual-like cramping the last few days and more intense Braxton hicks contractions. Last night I had several Braxton hicks that came with aching in my back and lower pelvis. All throughout my pregnancy I craved fish, chicken, veggies, and fruits. I'm still craving fruits but in the last week I started craving carbs like mad. I also had a crying breakdown today and feel like I've been given a fresh batch of hormones. I still have a couple small things to get my daughter and I feel this insane urgency to get them as if I only have a couple days left when really my due date is 3 1/2 weeks away.
I guess I just feel it around the corner but i'm curious as to when y'all went into labor with your second babies. I'm so excited, so nervous for the pain once again lol, and SO DONE BEING PREGNANT. I'm hoping for a shorter labor this time!!
Oh, and also, how did y'all feel in the week before. |
