Feeling bummed.
I’m 37 weeks + 4, with my first.
For 3 weeks now, I have been 1/2 cm dilated, and 50% effaced.
I had some horrible cramping in what felt like my left ovary (last week), so to be safe I went and got it checked. I was told I was having contractions spaced out at about 18 minutes apart. I didn’t even know. In fact, I still can’t tell! Anyway. Sent me on my way. Doctors appointment today, no cervical changes. I told my OB about some weird leaking I had, clear, watery, odorless - that soaked my panties twice. They tested for amniotic fluid, came back negative.
I feel like she’s never going to make an appearance!
My feet are so swollen, I have cankles. Red splotchy cankles.
My back hurts to the point I can’t roll over at night without cringing in pain.
I literally pee every 20 minutes.
Acid reflux, even water triggers it.
Blah. I know others have had it worse, and I should be thankful she’s seemingly healthy, but man.. I am so very uncomfortable and done.
