41 weeks tomorrow and (with much delusion!) thought I would have had my baby by now. I’m feeling so desperate for the end of pregnancy between heat without AC and exhaustion and three other kids to care for and waiting to start homeschool for the year. I think baby is sitting sunny side up because my back pain has been so intense.

Posted a couple weeks ago looking for stories but I really just need to be encouraged

Anything I should do or try? I’ve been leaning into rest as much as I can and I am so ready to meet baby!

First baby induced 39+6
Second induced 39+3
Third spontaneous 41+1
Hitting 41 weeks with fourth tomorrow

Pregnant with my fourth little babe, first home birth! 39 weeks tomorrow

Waiting it out, and I know it can take time. Just curious for patterns of others. :)

I’ve had Braxton hicks and random contractions a few times a day for the past 10 days or so.

Over the past 7 days baby has been consistently sooo low - I feel all the lightning crotch and head pain in my pelvis! With my third I went into labor spontaneously and never had a “sign” of labor besides losing my mucus plus (less than 24 hours before baby’s birth)!

What were your signs leading up to labor? How did your fourth labor compare to previous?

So excited for this one and love to read other people’s patterns and stories!

I came here a while ago asking about the name Link! We decided to go with Axel instead; thanks for the feedback on that name.

Looking for middle name recommendations. I have so much name fatigue at this point and want to find the right fit 😂

I love Harvey! I also like Calvin and Callan/Callum and Abner and Adler (not sure I like the alliteration of Axel Abner w other sibs)
Family names I’d think of: John, Todd (my maiden name), Reilly (my maternal maiden name)

Siblings are
Wynn Alice
Levi Randall
Milo Asher

Trying to finalize before baby comes in the next 6 weeks :,)
