After 3 trips to L&D, Two shots to stop my labor, a few days of bedrest and not being allowed to work, my baby is finally full term. 37 weeks and 1 day.
And I have NO signs of labor now. Go figure. My contractions are irregular and my cervix is closed. Baby has been in position for a few weeks now, but is apparently comfy staying put. Grrrr...
I really want to meet this little one, and was hoping I would be in labor by now. Instead my doctor thinks it will be at least a week, and I am a bit tired of being preggo.
I have already gained 34 pounds and it is really hot outside. (87 degrees today). So I am chubby and miserable.
Plus I am sooooo exicited to meet my baby girl, and I have no patience!!!

Joey is not near as crabby as she thinks she is. She looks more beautiful now then I have ever seen her with the exception of her wedding day. She has gone from blushing bride to glowing mommy to be.

I went through preterm labor (had it stopped).  Then I got hypertension and had to be induced.  My thoughts on your situation- hope that labor starts naturally because your body doesn't like being induced after having labor stopped.....of course, I may be a bit bitter considering that I was in labor for over 36 hours.

Don't worry about the weight- it'll come off pretty fast.  Just enjoy being pregnant and rest (you'll need your energy )
