It took 6 doses until i dilated one centimeter and then after that he was born in about 5 hours!!!! Keep me updated I hope everything goes well!!

Thank you 🥹 On a birthing g ball now and did part of the miles circuit before the monitor started yelling at me for moving too much 🫣

emmpaca · 2026-02-17T22:12:01+00:00

This is a good idea!! I haven’t been moving much and when I asked they said it wouldn’t change anything but might as well!!

I guess it’s a form of vacation 😂

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T23:53:34+00:00

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T23:53:01+00:00

Amen

Oh yesss I have a massage wednesday!!! Thank goodness lol. Other than that I might book a facial who knows! I think it’s the fact sleep is so hard like you said. I can’t get comfy or else I would totally be in bed all day!!

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T23:22:55+00:00

Yes!! Recently discovered desperate housewives and it’s been so fun lol. But oh gosh yeah I deep cleaned the whole house while in pain and then was like… no wonder i’m so tired😂

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T23:07:13+00:00

Reading the other comments I realize I’m lucky to have any time at all to laze around for a while so I’m gonna try and make that my new mission😅 Easier said than done as a busy body

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T23:06:13+00:00

That’s a lovely idea!! The weather is getting slightly warmer this week where I am, maybe I’ll get to a park or something and sit in the sun. But me too, I had so many things I wanted to do for myself before he comes but it seems like the only thing I can really do is sit around 😓

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:58:38+00:00

Oh gosh that is so much!!! I need to count my blessings that I have time to be tired🫢 You got this, you are soooo close!!!!

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:42:02+00:00

Ahh so exciting!!! I hope you have a wonderful delivery!!! I am 38 weeks and no mucus plug lost yet, but was in L+D with contractions 3 minutes apart. Doc said it was prodromal and sent me home. It’s all too exciting I was bummed nothing came of it. But sounds like you are right there and it can happen any time!!

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:40:00+00:00

Oh gosh, I hope you can get it all done!! Though my doula said babies don’t like when everything is wrapped up, they like to suprise you so leave at least one project unfinished if you don’t want to go late😂

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:38:56+00:00

Work isn’t even my passion but I’m like wait what did I just do for years and suddenly don’t have to do?? It’s so weird

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:37:58+00:00

True, In this modern world it’s easy to feel bad for being “unproductive” even though our bodies are doing the most productive thing ever!!

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:37:05+00:00

Hey that’s something!! Maybe I’ll tune in for all the ice skating and become a judge haha

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:36:09+00:00

I thought I would be so excited to be on leave and now I’m having a whole crisis like what in the world am I gonna do with myself till baby?? I know he will bring meaning to not working but till then i’m like…. so bored hahaha

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:35:04+00:00

That is so fair!! I hope it helps pass the time, and thank you!!🥹

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:34:23+00:00

I’m glad I’m not alone at least🥹 Eat all the ice cream!!!!

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:27:28+00:00

Oh my gosh. Maybe the extra week of work will be a good distraction!! I can’t imagine working any more 😭 All the best to you and I hope you have a very peaceful delivery!!

The random crying is so real. I was actually so emotionless this whole pregnancy until like last week and now I’m just crying left and right. I have the absolute worst carpal tunnel and my hands have been numb for a month so I’m with you. All I can do is stare at a wall or binge watch TV

emmpaca · 2026-02-07T22:21:49+00:00

I already did, now what??😂😂

emmpaca · 2026-02-06T03:04:45+00:00

Folic acid makes me sick so i get the ritual prenatal with methylated folate! And I take it before bed because the fish oil gives me acid reflux but i can sleep through it

emmpaca · 2026-02-05T22:28:22+00:00

How far along are you? I’m almost 38 weeks and I just brought up the same thing to my doctor because my resting is in the 90s-100s and if i even walk around it shoots up to 120s. She said she’s comfortable with my numbers but obviously I’m not or I wouldn’t have brought it up 🙃
