Same here! About to be 38 weeks on Saturday! Hoping he can be born by 38 weeks! Just doing more walks now, exercises, will be eating more pineapple, dates !
@Cheyanne me too im not ready to be in labor but i am ready for her to come out RIGHT NOOOEW!! safe delivery to you tho mama 🫶🏽
@Kriz what are you eating your dates with?? I’ve definitely been walking and eating pineapples & drinking okra water
I'm 37+4 today and having some pain right down low, slight period like cramps, lower back pain and pelvic pressure. My daughter turns 9 this year so it's been a while since I did this last... 😬
@T'arne heavy on the back pain & pressure!! and she’s sitting on my bladder 😮💨 so after i pee i still feel like i have to pee some more
@shanny I eat it with my oats/ fruits, or make a smoothie with it. I can barely eat it by itself.
@T'arne they said it is a good sign if youre having period cramps. Meaning it is very closeee…. Ive had the same last 2 weeks but has lessened this week
There is nothing you can do. Baby's come when ready. I have done every old wives tale I can think of and am 41 weeks with no signs whatsoever. I never want to eat a date or pineapple again!
Nice to hear others are in same position, I’m 38 weeks Friday and super struggling with heartburn general aches and pains and just done with pregnancy! Got a section booked for 20th seems SO long away!
I went to the doctors and was given omeprazole for the heart burn. It works really well for me! You can request it and it neutralises stomach acid. I’m in the UK, so it may be called something else for you and obviously may come at cost 😬
38 weeks here too and waiting each day for labour to start!
40 weeks here! You got this ♥️ as for dates.. here’s how I’ve been eating them: • cut dates in half, remove pit • fill each date piece with peanut butter (or nut butter of choice) • drizzle over with chocolate syrup • top with crushed peanuts • put halves in a container and freeze!! So delicious!!
@Drew sounds delicious thank you!!
It’s really a blessing to carry your baby to full term. My twins were born early and were put in the nicu for over 20 days. It’s almost over for you and you’ll have a healthy baby your hopefully able to bring home right away

I feel the exact opposite. I went into preterm labour at 33 weeks that was thankfully stopped and now I’m almost 38 weeks and I just know how tiring the other side (and I remember what labour feels like) is and I’m like…. Ahh another two-four weeks isn’t awful lol
I am 41 weeks and being induced today. There is basically no sign of mine dropping or coming naturally at all so hoping for the best
I’m still trying to catch my breath from getting out of a recliner
Good luck today @Cassandra and LOL @Kate! 40 weeks here and I feel that! August mom’s 🔥🔥😅
@Allie definitely not ready to GIVE birth buttt I am ready to see what my baby looks like & hold her already 💗 scared af to push a big head lil baby out my vag 😭 not looking forward to that part
@Kate the ROLLING outta bed is crazy 😂😂😭
@Drew I feel like they either come early or are really being stubborn Leo’s and not budging AT ALL 😭 (my baby as well)
Girl I’m 40 weeks and two days 😭 heartburn beating me up lol. I’m waiting patiently at this point do my walks, hot baths, tried sex, pineapple, watermelon and can’t seem to find any dates anywhere tho. Will be trying again today for searching for dates😂😭. Baby is low they say cervix just refusing to open 😭😭
Omg that’s what I’m saying ! I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and I’m so over this, I wish he would just come out already 😭
