I think I am in early early labor.

[Happiestever]

At 41 weeks today I think I am in the very beginning stages of labor. The cramping is definitely more frequent and no longer just a tightening. I really hope this is it. I do not want to belong to the prodromal labor club.

I will feel like a fool if this doesn't end with a baby in the next day or so. This is my third but my second of experiencing labor on my own. I can hardly remember the pain of beginning labor from dd's birth.

Having a rush right now, so gotta go. But it's short so who knows.

Labor vibes coming your way!! Hope all the rain we're having brings you a baby with it, cause it ain't working for me.

[Astraia]

oooh, I hope so! Lots of labour dust coming your way.

(i'm really scared of joining the prodomal labour club. Even now, if I do get contractions, i'm going to think it's prodomal just because it seems like EVERYONE here has been put through the "false" labour wringer) (I hate that word- false- but I didn't feel like saying prodomal AGAIN! Possibly because spellcheck tells me it's wrong, but wikipedia tells me it's right...)

more real labor dust being sent your way

keep us updated since we are all hoping you are holding your little newborn soon!

They are definitely contractions, they are getting more painful but nothing that I can't distract myself from. I doubt I will have the baby tonight, but possibly in the morning. I haven't started timing them yet, but I will when I feel like I have to focus on something else.

And my baby will no longer be a capricorn it will be an Aquarius baby. Which may be a good thing, not sure LOL

[smokeylo]

hope a few more of us join you soon!!

[Happiestever]

I hope so too! I would love some company, especially because I want to know I am not theonly experiencing the discomfort. They are really far apart, but are getting stronger, but lasting less than 45 seconds.

Girl!! I'm thinking of you and can't wait to hear your birth announcement!! Rootin' for ya, mama!!!

[Happiestever]

Still here and working through them. They are more intense.........just had to work through one. I only want to stand for them and sway my hips. Everything else isn't comfy.

The pool is filled and I am feeling like things are progressing. I don't want to get into the water yet. I think I will labor on the toilet for a little while.

Let this be over soon. I thought it was bad waiting for labor to begin, now i want to know how much longer I will have to deal with these. i have no idea how far I am dilated, but hoping it's a ton. Here comes another...

[smokeylo]

Checking up on you -- hope things picked up OR you were able to rest! Either way -- bring on the baby!

[jillmamma]

I hope it happens soon!

[gabeyho]

[TSomm]

[JayJay]

*HUGE hugs* mama - I was where you are a week ago this last Monday, laboring through the night, breathing through. You can do this, mama! XxXxxX

[Lillitu]

ooh, most envious! hope your labor is for reals (i belong to the dreaded prodromal club, dang it).

[ACsMom]
