Re: Sept bellies
Ugh - I am so ready for it to be over!!!! I feel like I am in labor every single day - I get so many contractions and mentrual cramps, etc. Baby is SO low too - makes it hard to sit! My dr. tells me I will go early, but who knows.

Re: Sept bellies
Oh I'm sorry... I am also ready, but have none of your promising signs.... Are you dilated at all? I just feel big and the heartburn is brutal at 1 in the morning... Do you have any swelling??? I hear that could be sign. Hang in there not much longer now

Re: Sept bellies
I have not had any swelling or heartburn (thankfully), and I have not even gained much weight....If it were not for the baby being so low and the constant contractions, I would be perfectly fine! Anyways, at my dr. appt. yesterday they checked me and said I was 80% effaced (not really sure if that means anything), and as far as dialation, she said if she really tried she could put her finger in there, but she did not do it. So basically nothing I am assuming. Are you still working? I just stopped - because of the position of the baby, it is too hard to sit up straight in my office chair!

Re: Sept bellies
I am also not working. I gained 23-4 pounds so far. I just feel stretched out in the tummy area and a little cranky.. I think the effacement being so much is a good sign... I am sure I will be late.until this month I thought I may be early... the baby is low therefore no heartburn... although what u are experiencing does not sound pleasent...when do you go back to the doc

Re: Sept bellies
Hi Sept mommies, I have 2 weeks left and I am soooooo ready!! I feel better this week then last when I had my crying fit at the Dr. I think I've gotten more sleep this week. I have an appt at 2pm today(fingers crossed!!) Last Thurs I was 2 cm but his head was not engaged yet. My Dr said he thinks he'll put me in a week-10 days early(I think my little guy is not so little!) I am swollen in my hands/fingers and feet. I feel like I can't even use my hands anymore! I don't really have much heartburn, but he kicks the crap out of me and I always have elbows and knees sticking ouy all over the place!! Well, I've come 38 weeks already, I hope I can make it!! Good luck mommies and I send you all labor vibes and tummy pats!!

Re: Sept bellies
Hi, well, nothing has changed since last week! As a maater of fact, my Dr said he thinks I might have closed up a little!!! I didn't know that could happen!!! I'm going for a sono tomorrow for his est weight and then I have to wait one more Thurs. If nothing by next Thurs, my Dr said he'll put me in. If he's over 8lbs he said I'll have a section. He said he's not going to kid himself, I'm only 5 ft and it would be tough. School starts Tues and I plan on going into work, hopefully it will help and keep my mind off things! Soooo, hopefully by next weekend, I'll be in the hospital and having this kid one way or another!!

Re: Sept bellies
Do you want a section.. my friend 5feet 1 inch just gave birth to a 9 lber from what i heard the size of a person does not dictate how much space they have in the birth canal...

Re: Sept bellies
Hi girls, Still here with 9 days to go. We went to the Dr yesterday and it looks as though this child is stuck! Apparently his head is too big for my birth canal and he will be delivered via c-section next week. I was a little disappointed, but what can I do? All I want is my son out and healthy. I am schedules at 1pm next thursday 9/16. In the meantime, I am losing my plug and spotting and having small consistant contracions on my own. If my water breaks before next thursday they will section me earlier. I'm just keeping busy, I even went back to school yesterday(our kids don't come until Monday) and plan on going in to work until next Tues(crazy I know!!) Well, wish me luck!!
