Prodromal labor commiseration thread - Page 9

well I was totally mistaken about my mucous plug. It lost it this morning! I thought it had been coming out in bits and pieces over the last couple of weeks but this morning there was absolutely NO mistaking it. BIG globs of bloody mucous (TMI!) dropping in the toilet and when I wiped. No contractions, but a lot of AF like cramps and back-ache.

I noticed this morning that I've lost 5 lbs in the past couple of days. Hopefully this is a sign.

Losing weight is a sign of impending birth. Usually one week or less before.

Yea! Maybe your time is coming. I cant believe I feel so jealous when I read that someone has big glob of bloody mucus. I want it so bad!

I hope so, my contractions are painful now, I often have to breathe through them.

I think i'm to the point where I won't believe that anything is leading to labor except a baby crowning! (haha, okay maybe not that far but.. SERIOUSLY. WEEKS of this stuff has made me a little tired of even trying to analyze what the heck is going on.)

I'm just now joining this thread. I've been having what I THOUGHT was labor since Sunday...obviously it's not. Today it's way more intense though and I've seen a major increase in mucous.

At this point though, I have 2 weeks until my EDD so I'm not getting my hopes up.

I don't mind this baby not coming until right around or after its EDD but all of this prelabor stuff is beginning to feel like a big tease.

That's how I'm feeling right now. I will really doubt it, if baby is facing the right direction and the contractions are less painful than my posterior births.

The hospital is 45 minutes away so I'm not leaving the house until I'm positive.

Oh, I have nothing to say but AMEN!

Due today and it's very surreal.

Having some BH contractions every now and then, have lost tons of mucous since my cervix check Monday. How much can possibly be up there? LOL

Just sitting and waiting now. Hope she comes soon.
