Update - Not Yet
90% effaced as of last Thursday. 39w1d today.
Surprise! Baby Girl is not here yet. The past week has been excruciatingly uncomfortable, with a lot of BH contractions and severe heartburn. Our son was born at 38w0d (and that pregnancy was a lot easier than this one) so I haven’t experienced this level of uncomfortableness before. From what some mothers have told me, subsequent pregnancies tend to be a little more taxing on the body for several reasons. All the joints and muscles have been loosen previously so it just feels so much more painful, the pelvic pain, the ligament pain, etc. Plus, there is/are older child/ren to chase after while you’re huge and tired.
But oh how you forget all those miserable moments once the babe is here.
Yesterday I had a glass of carrot juice. It had such affect that I actually thought I was going into labor, instead I just needed to spend some time in the loo.
The deck started last Thursday and it rained all friggin’ day on Friday so the progress was not much. It’s going to take until middle next week to be completed, provided the weather cooperates. Patio door people are coming tomorrow morning.
I’ll be a very happy woman once everything happens/completes and settles.
