Thank you my beautiful ladies for your wonderful wishes. BP is still high was pretty high, but I don't have the courage to take my self to the hospital just yet. I am scared of being kept there on hospital bed rest. I start my fetal non stress testing this friday so hopefully that will go well. I really hope I get some 3d pics this Thursday, but not counting on it since our Kaiser Hospital is not that high tech with the ultrasound machines. I am also debating on tubal ligation. Kaiser does cutting and burning, and I have heard from a few people I have asked that its super painful. I am afraid the pain will over power my want to breastfeed so this is why I am having second thoughts, but the DH agreed to a vasectomy. I think I will lean toward his than mine just so my pain wont be double than what it will already be.

Taytum keep at it, I hear it helps with preparing your body to get ready for labor. How exciting and I am overjoyed for your as your due date approaches.

Oh no YB! Do you check your BP at home? I hope everything goes well on Friday too with NST and that your BP is in control. I also would have DH maybe get the vasectomy. Have you BF in the past? I'm worried most about BF and sticking to it. [emoji53]

DH made the comment on the way home that Saturday night he noticed I was "swollen" down there and I noticed that it was more painful than before. Soooo...that probably means no more sex from here on out since he'll think it's weird and he's uncomfortable with how low they kept saying baby is haha. But maybe I can talk him into it in another week or so just to give it a try for labor!

Thank you Taytum and Blue!

Taytum I have to check my BP 4x's daily and same for my sugar I beastfed my first for three months. She refused it after. My second I tried but she couldn't latch properly because she was tongue tied and my last I tried but gave up too easily. I really hope i can but if I don't I'd like to pump if I can for sure.

As far as the swelling goes, its totally normal. You should check out my beautiful cervix.com. Its super neat as you see how your body progresses. It even turns purple from the swelling and blood flood as you get closer to the big day

Oh man yogi...that stinks. I hope Friday you get some good news and I hope this LO loves to BF for you! I've been anxious about BF...hoping it comes naturally to us!

And what a COOL website!! Wow!!!!!! I never knew what a cervix looks like...and so interesting to see the pregnant swollen one especially after DH said he noticed it! So neat, thanks for sharing!

Those of you who have had babies before, is this crazy but I've been able to poop like 2x a day lately! It's not diarrhea as it's still solid, but from going once every 4 days to twice a day now, I'm not sure if it's in my head or could this be a sign that labor could be soon?

I was always like that toward the end Tatum, my midwife said the baby is putting extra pressure on things down there now so there's less space and your body keeps things moving through in early prep for labor.

Third morning in a row of waking up to low back achiness and menstrual cramps, complete with irregular Braxton Hicks. They go away.

I am sitting on my birthing ball though because the pressure on my tailbone is so bad I can't even lay down, not even on my left side.

Should I expect this for... 5-6 more weeks?

Ahhh panther. I think that sometimes too but then i think its only 4 to 7 more weeks[emoji12]

I get this too, Panther! My lower back has been super sore lately and I get cramps that feel like my period, wrapping around. I'll get one or two that take my breath away, but not consistently. My doctor didn't seem concerned about it when I mentioned it on Tuesday.

I feel like (TMI!) there is something stuck inside me...like a really large tampon or something hahaha. Hard to explain!

Edit: Also, I feel like the last few days I've had a strong feeling this is a girl. I don't know what it is. Maybe the u/s tech saying she didn't see any gender clues while she was moving around (granted she wasn't looking and baby is super smooshed). I'm happy because my BFF just gave birth to a little girl in Feb and that will be fun for us, but still some GD that I'm not getting my boy vibe any more. I guess hopefully we'll just know in a few weeks!

Talk about uncomfortable. I am 34 weeks 6 days today and i cannot get comfortable in any position except lying or standing still. My uterus is sore from recurrent braxtons and i actually ended up with diarrhea yesterday from all this uterine irritation. SPD is killing !! I am so ready to have this baby
