I can't explain how, but it became pretty obvious, even though there was no change in pain/intensity or duration. And don't worry, you'll wake up in time I had the hardest time sleeping--and I can sleep through a LOT!

Ah, you give me hope. I've had what I guess is prodromal labour for about 3 weeks now, and I'm getting pretty fed up. Nearly every day or two, I'll start up with contractions and they'll last anywhere between and hour and eight hours and then trail off.... It's so annoying! I feel like baby will never come out. So maybe I'll be lucky like you and it will just happen. It would be great if they didn't get more painful, as they are really easy to integrate at this stage! (But I'm prepared for hard times too.)

Come on, sweet baby! Terra, I'm thinking of you and prying that this is it!

P.S. I felt the same way about the mucous plug--that grody little signifier is not to be missed!!!
