I wrote this two days before I had Carter... But I never posted it! Thought it would be fun to post anyways.
(40 weeks and 4 days pregnant)
How far along: 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant
Due date: March 23, 2015
Weight Gain: 26.5 lbs.
Symptoms: bathroom trips usually three times a night, TONS of braxton hicks daily. I have alot of labor symptoms going on so read those below.. I still have lower abdomen soreness probably from the weight of the baby lying low, nausea off and on but super minor (started around 36-37 weeks). NESTING has started the past 2 weeks for sure.
Cravings: sandwhiches still. Donuts and cupcakes sound good after having a cupcake on st. Patricks day. Not usually one of my cravings when not pregnant, im more of a salt girl. But its fun to spoil myself with sweet treats here and there. Craving smoothies and fresh COLD fruit. Cereal sounds good and food is turning me off, especially at dinner time if ive had any nausea or cramping im hungry but nothing sounds good.
Wedding Rings: on
Belly button: innie
Exercise: cardio once a week. Im lucky if i get to go twice. But mostly just walking everyday
Sleep: sleep is a hit or miss. i wake up two to three times to use the restroom & its easy for me to fall asleep

Excited for: labor! Well, also a bit nervous. But i cannnnnnnot wait to meet him and see what he looks like and meet his little personality.
Missing: nothing right now, im really just enjoying this time being pregnant with these last few days i have left
Pre Labor Signs: YES! I lost my plug last week, and I have had bloody show (sorry TMI) here and there, cramping with lower back ache off and on and braxton hicks like crazy. I lost a pound and a half this week. My abdomen is achey down low as i mentioned above and sometimes my bones ache down there.
Dr Update: My dr started internal exams at 36 weeks so here is the breakdown since i dont do weekly pregnancy updates.
week 36 exam: 25% effaced, 1cm dilation, baby was high at -3 station.
week 37 exam: 50% effaced, 3.5 cm dilation, baby was still high at -3 station. Doctor said it could be any day now, and to keep walking!
week 38 exam: 50% effaced, 3.5 cm dilated, baby moved down lower to -2 station. Barely any progression. Started losing plug around here and had some on and off bloody show with cramping/braxton hicks and back ache.
week 39 exam: 50% effaced, 3.5 cm dilated. No change.
week 40 exam: 50% effaced, 3.5 cm dilated. No change. At this appt my doctor swept my membranes so I experienced some discomfort from that, and some cramping and spotting for that day. but no real changes.
