I'll be 40w+4 days in an hour and I'm ready for baby boy to make his appearance if only to avoid being induced. 😣 I've had lots of Braxton Hicks and a few actual contractions over the past few days but nothing consistent. My back aches, I have lots of pelvic pain and pressure, and I'm up every two hours during the night. I've been losing bits of my mucus plug and at my OB appointment on Wednesday I was 1.5 cm dilated and 60% effaced. I have another one tomorrow and my fingers are crossed for more progress. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Here I am in all my stretchmarked glory. I swear every pound I've gained has gone straight to my belly and thighs! 34 pounds gained so far.
