re: 37 weeks! Are you?

I'm due July 6th too!   i had an appointment Tuesday, but my doctor said it isn't necessary to see if i'm dilated so he didn't check.   last week i was cramping SOOO bad and my back felt like it was going to break. i had irregular contractions for a couple days, but everything is pretty much back to normal this week. i'm having some back pain, and a lot of pressure, but no more contractions. it's like my little man was teasing me.

have you tried any exercises for your lower back pain? i haven't had too much pain, but i've been doing the exercises in hopes of preventing it. sometimes all you need to do is get on all fours, and your baby will reposition in a way that is off your back.

i'm still working, i'm a server so the walking around helps a lot but i get really tired after a while. lol i tried the bouncy ball thing and it just made me nervous that i would fall off, and massages don't help either. my doctor said i could take a tylenol but i'd rather not take any medicine, but i'll definitely try gettin on all fours! thanks!

theres other things you can try also, shouldn't be too hard to look up. something like rocking your pelvis can be done while you're standing

Your suggestion really helped! I don't think he was too happy about it, but he got his chunky butt situated in a much more comfortable position. I looked up a few things to try on the internet, but most of it was stuff I've tried before. Sitting on the edge of a chair and rocking back and forth is one of the only other things I've found that really works.

glad i could help  

Im due july 5 ive been feeling same way been dilated two for two weeks havent been checked since feel like when I walk he just gonna come out contractions come and go but no pain with them

I just thought I would jump back in the post & update everyone.

I will be 39weeks tomorrow & still no baby  
I have had tons of back pains, and cramping on & off but nothing that was honestly worth me going into the hospital for, because I would have been sent straight home. At nights I get heartburn like crazy, and haven't had any during the whole pregnancy, plus it's so hard to breathe at nights too. I see my Dr. on Tuesday & I am due Friday, he is out of town right now, so I hope she decides to at least stay in there until I see him!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let y'all know I had my sweet baby boy at 39 weeks on July 1st.   hope everyone is doin great!

i had my little guy on the 12th, a day past my due date! we're healthy and happy, but of course exhausted! good luck to all the new mommies
