namasteak I hope this is it for you. Squats per my ob, although they didn’t help me.
Did some of those! It’s baby 3 and I’m still surprised how much of a mindfuck the last bit of pregnancy is. Come on body get it together! Let’s not hang out at 4cm, 50% effaced and bulging bag of waters for 2 weeks again.

Copying from a randoms but I have GD now. I was barely over the threshold (it’s 7.79 and I was 7.8) so that’s annoying. It’s the weekend so I can’t do anything until next week so I’ll enjoy my lovely brownie I bought today.
lovelyshoes and namasteak all good. Got discharged about two hours ago and am floating around in my pool now. I am ordered to work from home this week and get things wrapped up and I’ll go in Memorial Day (evening) for induction.
He’s definitely measuring pretty big all of the sudden (this ultrasound tech is one of the best in the area according to everyone I’ve talked to, so I tend to believe her) so I am more inclined than I was 4 weeks ago to induce at 38 weeks. I know those measurements are often off, but I have plenty of amniotic fluid for her to get good measurements with and she did them twice. That, combined with my hypertension points to this being the right decision.
*sigh* It’s not want I want but I need to come to terms with it and I’m doing so by thinking about how we will get to meet this boy a week sooner. Can’t wait to see his face for the first time!
Repeating from ML since I’m so annoyed it has continued - I was up for 3 hours last night with contractions but they didn’t get closer than 6 minutes 🤦🏻♀️I thought for sure they would hit 5 min eventually since I was at 6min apart 1 min long for over an hour but no luck. I’m so uncomfortable with aches and prodromal labor 😔 plus being worried DH Will miss the birth is no fun.
Maybe the thunderstorm and sex and extra RRL tea will help ....
Wait, do thunderstorms cause labor? Because I just heard thunder in the distance (and we live in a place where storms are rare!)

Both my OB and midwife have said they tend to see a lot of babies born when there are stormy nights. Something about the atmospheric pressure change ..::

I had a few contractions during ours. H asked if we needed to go to the hospital. LOL, no. I had 3 in an hour. He's terrified I'm gonna have VBAC in the bathroom or something.
Btw, he packed his bag tonight. He brought 4 books. "The only reason why we didnt have down time last time is because he was on the NICU." Ok, dude...
hamster, this kills me. I could understand one, but four? I'm worried my husband will be the opposite and have NOTHING to entertain him. And there is a really good coffee shop in the building so he will be caffeinated and bored which is the only situation that ever brings us to the brink of divorce.

He brought six last time!!
I brought the baby book and a couple of magazines, plus there's my phone and a tv.
Omg hamster. For some reason I thought you were having a planned c-section. It’s not like he’s going to be sitting around for 12 hours while you are in labour. And then once the baby comes it is go go go. Lol.
I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the past couple of days while packing. I definitely didn’t get them this early (22 weeks) with DD. I need to get this house packed up and put away and it is very distracting. Also my DH is of absolutely no use and thinks I am getting ahead of myself. Well DH, you have a bunch of work travel coming up the week before the move, I have a toddler, and I already feel like shit. I’m sure it’ll be much easier to pack last minute when you aren’t here and I’m even more pregnant in a month.

I am! Lol
I told him he's silly but whatever. It's not like I have to carry the bags. Also he tried to forget sweat pants.
Confession I packed for DH. We are just bringing a weekend duffel bag so I packed a packing cube with clothes, toiletries, a charger and eye mask for DH. If there is something else he wants then TOO BAD.
