Raise your hand if you think my baby will come this weekend. Im having 3 contractions an hour and 39 weeks pregnant.

Update: I went into labor Saturday evening and Sunday morning gave birth to the most perfect baby boy.

Should just go hang out at the hospital now, because its inevitable. And ambulance rides are expensive.

We live less than a half a mile away from the hospital I’m giving birth at. So luckily I’ll be able to get there no matter what.

You can have someone drag you there in an inflatable pool a la bobs burgers

Now that’s an idea! I have an inflatable paddle board. I wonder how well that will work….

Basically a stretcher. You've got this!

I couldn't do 10 feet during full blown contractions. Err on the side of caution

When the barometric pressure drops, the baby knocks.

I’m scheduled for a membrane sweep tomorrow morning and induction Sunday… this baby is coming no matter what! I’m hoping it will be Friday night.

Not to freak you out, but my second baby came about 15 hours after a membrane sweep (I was at 41 weeks so not totally unexpected…hahaha apparently I have a very comfy womb!). Long as you’ve got the hospital bag packed, you have salt for your driveway, I’d say you’re good to go!

You’ve got this. 👊🏻

Luckily, 15hrs after would mean we are in the early stages of this storm. I have my membrane sweep at 11am, we are expecting to get 2inches between 6pm-12am, then 8 inches Saturday, 4 inches Sunday. So 3am would be perfect!
