July mommies - it is OUR month! We will be mommies this month. OR last month or possibly next month

37w today. I feel "okay" a lot of pressure and I definitely dropped. My last appointment I had no progress and I don't go again until 7/10.

I thought today would be the first day with no rings, but I got them on right before coming to work so I am happy about that.

NOT happy about the MANY hot days that are coming our way!

I ordered a new car, a 2010 Ford Fusion - MY CAR HAS NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I have had some brutal commutes to work and back BUT I HAD to get the Fusion in blue so now I have to suffer and wait for it to come in.

My EDD is still 7/23 and that is my last day of work too! I can't believe my countdown says 20 days!

to all, hope you are all doing well!

OK- I'll go next. At my appointment on 6/29 (36w5d) I found out I'm just over 3cm dilated! Well we have NOTHING done/organized/ready so that kicked our butts into high gear.

It's been a crazy 2-3 days cleaning and organizing. But we've got just about everything in order- DH should finish painting the nursery today. Whew.

I still feel really great though- no swelling at all. The pressure is there and I have DEFINITELY dropped (no more heartburn- thank goodness) but I have to say I feel SO much better than I did with my last pregnancy.

Once we have *everything* in order, we might try some of the tricks to "shake things up" ( ). My OB says we could induce at 39w with this kind of progress- and we moght do that, but I "think" I'd like to go into labpr on my own just once.

Hope everyone else id feeling good! Congrats to Corinne and Mere09 on their early July babies!!!! Was there anyone else?

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I am a lot like you Amy, I feel great except for being a punching bag for my baby and lots and lots of pressure... I am still 2cm but I am hoping this baby shows up soon, I think I might be the only woman in the world that really doesn't enjoy being pregnant...

Hey ladddddies!!!

YAY FOR JULYYYY!!!

I did end up having , Dexter Allen, on June 28th. He's a perfect little man... we're so in love! And so far DD (13 months) has been adapting really well. So we're all very happy over here.

.

I 100000% believe this has more to do with the pregnancy than the woman. I have had an easy pregnancy so I don't mind it - but if I suffered the way some of you ladies do through out the entire thing I would want it to be over with too!

As it stands now, even though I am uncomfortable - I will have a total freak out the first time the doctor tells me there is any progress I am so scared of that day for some reason! But I know it should be coming soon!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Congrats to the new moms!! The time really has gone so fast!

I had my 38 week appointment yesterday. Fingertip dilated and 50% effaced. I think the doctor said she hasn't dropped yet, but her head is down and she's in a good position. He told me that "it was a good start".

I am so excited for her to get here. I am anxious about when it's all going to happen!

Good luck to everyone in the upcoming days & weeks!!

Looks like JaneDoe had her baby!!

Congrats to her!!!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I'm 39 weeks today. Feeling great! Just got back from doc. No progress at all. Nothing!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Congrats to all the July mommies who turned out to be June mommies!! I am 38w3d. I went to the doctor on Wednesday...no progress to report. I know I still have time, but I was kind of hoping for some progress. I stopped working last Friday (not by choice...I am a teacher) so now I feel like I am just sitting around waiting for this kid to make his or her appearance And I found out that my doctor's office will induce at 40w6d. I really don't want that, so I am hoping he or she shows up on their own soon! Aside from that, I still feel fine, just a little tired. I can't really tell if I've dropped because I have been carrying pretty low the whole time. Hope everyone else is doing well, and lots of easy labor vibes when the time comes!!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I will be 37 weeks on Tuesday. I feel great and so much better than I did at this point with DD. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact I stopped working early, with DD I went into labor after work. Im soooo much more relaxed and stress free. I've been going on hour long walks and running after my DD. Im happy about that, but I feel like this baby will never come out. I have an appt. on Wed. I am hoping for some progress, but Im still carrying high and experiencing heartburn. Good Luck to us all!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I am 38w1d. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and he estimated the baby's weight at 7lbs. 8oz. I am also 1.5 cm dilated. I don't feel anything yet, but it is definitely getting harder to get around and sleep!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

39.5 weeks today and spent about 6-7 houirs at the hospital last night. after 3 speculum exams, 3 internals and 2 sonograms, i was sent home. but i did lose part of my mucus plug after i got home and am having much stronger contractions now so i hope to meet my baby really really soon!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I have been MIA. LOL..
Can't believe its July already and barely have anything done. Next week is my last day of work
I will be 37 weeks, baby is on the smaller size, but thats okay. Want an easy drug free labor.
Congrats to all the new mommies!!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I became a June Mommy on June 23rd!!! I was team green. I was due July 4th but was scheduled for a c-section on June 28th but went into labor on the 23rd at 4pm. I went to Dr. and was sent to hospital. My Dr. was not on so I asked if they could try to stop my 3 minute apart contractions until morning. I had 3 bags of fluid and my contractions went to 1 minute apart. Was not happy when a Dr. I never met came in and told me she would be delivering my baby.

so at 10:51pm on June 23rd my Avery Regina was born!!! 7lbs 14oz 20 3/4 inches

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hi Ladies
I was team and due on July 8th. Well I went from being a July mommy to a June mommy.
DD was born on June 29th at 10:42 am. She was 5 pounds 6 ounces and 19 inches long. She is amazing and we are doing great. I was induced early because she was small for gestational age (they thought she was going to only be 4 pounds 8 ounces max and 15 or 16 inches long) and my amniotic fluid was very very low the Monday I went for my high risk doctor appointment so they sent me to the hospital that morning. I had a wonderful delivery and experience at Winthrop. DD is very healthy and did not even need to spend one second in the NICU and was able to come home with me
We are so blessed and enjoying every minute with her.
Good Luck to the rest of you JUly moms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
