and no babe. i was expecting to go a few days over so im not surprised but this prodromal labor is getting to me. i cant believe how emotionally taxing it is! my midwife, doula and other friend who is watching ds are all out partying tonight. i can just imagine the traffic getting out of the fireworks and everyone missing my birth. my last labor was 45 minutes long so im a little stressed about the timing thing. i dont have a real point to this post. just checking and saying that im stressing out and really want to know when this babe is coming! anyone else at the end of their rope tonight?

Oh mama, I am at the end of my rope too. I have been having signs of labor for like 4 weeks now. I had my bloody show two days ago (well, now 3) and nothing!
My EDD was on the 3rd, and since it's now technically the 5th I am 2 days past.
I have been in pain, it seems to get worse every night, and I am just ready for this baby to be out.
On top of everything else DH and I have been arguing on and off (really good timing for that, I wouldn't be surprised if that's why LO hasn't come yet), my computer died (I am getting a new one on Tuesday though. Watch, I will be having a baby on Tuesday and no one will be home to sign for it), and I broke my cell phone and now have no ones numbers!
I just want to cuddle with my baby, it will make everything better!

I think my baby got lower though, which is a good thing! I can feel his little butt right on my belly button now, before it was above it a bit.
If he is lower that would explain my excruciating pelvic pain all night and then today when I walked around Target

Koalove - I hope your baby comes soon, but not too soon for your support team to be there for you.

I was due July 3rd. I've been feeling contractions, at least one every hour, for a week now. Sometimes as many as 6 in an hour.

I could keep on complaining (oh, could I!) but I'll stop there and just say, it's ok. Being freaked out or worried is all part of it, and the best thing you can do is just distract yourself.

My due date was yesterday. I have a lot of cramping and discharge, but that is about it. My friends and family are driving me crazy! I think next time around I won't tell anyone my due date. I keep getting calls and text messages asking if I have had my baby. I actually got an email from my aunt yesterday congratulating me on having my baby-she had heard the news from a cousin. Do they really think I won't let them know if I have had my baby? Come on baby-everyone already thinks you are here!!

My due date is today.
Have been in a lot of pain. Just sat and cried on DH's shoulder last night.
I pray, beg, everything. But nothing comes out of all the hard work...
I hit rock bottom this morning because I spent from 1 to 3 am contracting and was absolutely sure I would be holding this baby by lunch time. Then after I tried to sleep and woke up, it was all gone.
I just sat in bed and bawled...

I have asked God to please either take all these pains away OR have my baby be born now. I just can't go through this much pain and continuing dashed hopes everyday for much longer....

I am happy that I am able to share here, with other ladies who know EXACTLY what it feels like!!!
