January babies coming early?

Yes and I’m so glad to not be the only one January babies are definitely coming early from the posts I’ve seen

I am soo soo freaking uncomfortable today BUT my boy better not be arriving any earlier than his due date lol lol.

Mine did. I just had her yesterday at 35 weeks 5 days

Yes I feel like my son will b early, and it hurts to stand I'm just trying not to have him just yet lol.

Doc told me I’m only 1cm but her head was really low. Hoping I go soon 🤞🏻 still got a little less than a month. Doing some things to try to open my cervix and prepare my downstairs for it more.

I thought it was only me doc says it’s normal but I don’t know I feel baby will come early

@Sadi I’ve been 1 cm for the past month since Nov 6

I’m nervous once they told me the baby in position I’ve been paranoid that he might come early. He’s soo active and I don’t recall this much pressure with my first son

@Sydnee what were you feeling prior to her coming?

@Sadi when is your due date?

@Kyesha this is my first so I’m like ?😅 what’s going on

@Fatima Jan 5th

@Fatima i felt a ton of pressure. Like I could barely walk because it hurt and then I thought my water had broke so I ended up going to the hospital to check and it did

THIS! I’m due end of January but literally feel like I did at 37 weeks with my first. Is this a thing?!

@Sadi girllll that baby is COMING

@Fatima I hope so!! I wasn’t going to do much because I don’t want to have her too early, but a couple friends told me to go ahead anyway because she’s good. Raspberry leaf tea, cranberry and pineapple juice drink, dates and peanut butter, and a yoga ball. That’s how I’ve been the last 2 days. Not sure it will do much, BUT I’ve been told it helps soften and prepares things

@Sadi I’ve heard long walks really do it 😅 lmk how it goes for you

i have the worst lightning crotch and he moves so rough at times it feels like he’s going break my water and pop out 😫 i want him to come sooner than later but i still have to have a baby shower dec 22. bad planning on my part

@Sydnee omg congratulations love ❤️😊🙌🏽

@Andrea yes!! Lightning crotch is what I’m experiencing too 😭 & I feel that! My gender reveal was in late august and shower in early November, horrible to plan

Yess, I got a belly band and it helps out a lot!

Yes I can’t take it anymore

@Gift I been thinking about getting one but I feel like I may get uncomfortable with it

No one in my family thinks I'm making it to January.

@Fatima I caved and got the momcozy one, and while I don’t wear it often, when I do, it actually does help and isn’t uncomfortable. Although, sometimes I feel like it rides up

I use KT tape to tape my tummy and it feels like someone is holding my belly in their hands. It lasts for 3-5 days with a shower cause I can’t deal with the pressure

@Nina🤍 I’ve tried that, and it worked for a while, but I kept getting irritated and itchy where the tape was, so after just a few hours, I had to take it off 😭

I’m not due until January 27th but I think baby boy is coming at least a week early if not 2. I feel so much pressure and he’s measuring big so idk how much longer my body will be able to hold him in 😂. He’s about 5 pounds now tho so we’re getting to the safer side if he does come early! 32 weeks and 3 days today!

@Fatima I’ll tell you this I thought I was gonna not like it and be uncomfortable due to me not like tight/restricted things on my body but it’s a life saver and I feel so much better with it on and it is actually super comfortable I got a free one through my insurance

I'm due on the 9th, they adjusted to the 3rd. Just hit 35wks today. I lost my plug sometime before Tuesday, OB said I was 50% effaced and 3cm.. last night felt like back contractions and lots of mucus today. I thought I was going into labor last night honestly. We're concerned and are hoping to make it past Christmas, but being that far progressed and having this many contractions- I'll be surprised if I make it through the weekend.

@Sydnee, if this is too sensitive, don't answer. But I'm wondering- were there complications being this early? NICU?

@Megan she got put in the nicu as a precaution but has been doing great. We should be getting discharged tomorrow

@Sydnee thank you for sharing

Due January 13th and didn't make it 40 weeks with my previous two pregnancies (39 weeks for the first and 37 weeks for the second) . I'll be 37 weeks the week of Christmas so.. we may be cutting it close 😅

@Sadi Yesss! I get itchy after 2-3 days 😭so I change it frequently but yes the glue gets itchy.

This is how I was with my second baby. He was lowwwww. This one is head down but my stomach is higher up and I’m so bloated. I feel like my ribs are going to crack!
