Yay Kelly Beth!!!! Hopefully we are seeing baby pics and a birth story soon!! 

I woke up to lots of MP and an effacing cervix. I think things may be starting! Ctx are mild.

[kellybeth]

thanks mamas! i woke up at 2am with a strong wave of something weird that's continued to now. like waves of nausea without the nausea, if that makes sense? i think they're contractions, since it's tight and painful through my abdomen/back/butt/down there area. and i lost a lot of gross blood/mucous and had to poo like i don't know. the waves have been coming about twice an hour. poor hubby woke up with me every time. hopefully this doesn't go on for days.

Yay kellybeth! Good luck and I hope things continue that definitely sounds like some form of contractions. I always feel BH in my bum the most, it's a weird feeling.

[etsdtm99]

woo hoo, go Kellybeth and Josie!!  can't wait to meet some more babies :) 

things could not be going better for us..  i have the sweetest baby ever and my easiest recovery - its got me really thinking about whether or not to be done, i can't see how we could top this (not that that is what having another is about, just thinking about the possibility of stopping while we're 'ahead'... )

& i've gotta share this pic of my little guy at 5 days old .. 

[lovebeingamomma]

I'm in labor right now on my due date!  Kind of cool. 
 

[buko]

Go, kellybeth!  Go, lovebeingamomma!

[MaybeJ]

Kellybeth - sounds like early labour to me! 

Thinking of you and Josie and lovebeingamomma!

Teles - hang in there...you're so strong!

[Chloe'sMama]

hurray for labor!  Hopefully news of babies soon!!!!

[kellybeth]

still no change, but a lot more mucous/bloody show. it's shocking how much is coming out (gross).

been trying to rest and nap and we just ordered some spicy pad thai. trying not to be anxious, but i'm not sure how to do that. whenever i feel pain i say "baby" as a mantra and it turns that pain into such a positive thing for me. good to know that it works at 2am, too. 

[cortinacolorado]

I'm so excited for all of you mamas! Go, team, go!

[josie423]

I have been contracting all day and finally went on a walk to try to get them to pick up (they were just staying like strong BHs) and since the walk things have changed. They are definitely intensifying and feel real now. It certainly feels like labor but the part of my brain that thinks I'll be pregnant forever is refusing to believe it's real. ;)

[mama3blessings]

Josie, that is how mine were too. Hoping this is it for you.

[akemi]

wooo.... i think my water is sort of broken! Hard to say... could it be my mucous plug? It's red tinged, but seems like water not like mucous. 

It just sort of squirts out a little... whenever i cough or laugh or sometimes just for the heck of it.

Gosh I'm trying not to get so excited, I feel like I should go to bed and rest (11:45pm now) but I just want to dance around and laugh joyously!

I was wrong! maybe I can go into labour! my body knows what it's doing !!! 

I don't really have any contractions, just kind of crampy.

My due date is tomorrow :D

This is how my water broke with my 2nd.  Just kept trickling and was pink most of the time.

pink is good, means your cervix is dilating some.

i didn't go into labor until 20 hours later, so rest may be a good idea.

It's sure to be soon!  Yay!

[typebug]

So we might have akemi, lovebeingamomma and kellybeth all in labour right now? Woot! I'll be stalking our DDC tonight for sure. Sending good labour vibes 

[kellybeth]

Definitely in labor, sitting on toilet for some relief and trying to let hubby sleep a little. i knew she would want to come out in the middle of the night. i dont want to leave for the hospital until i absolutely have to. contractions are less than 8 mins apart right now.

[Chloe'sMama]

Hurray kellybeth. Cant wait ro hear more!!

Akemi- hope labor starts soon.

[Gillmoro]

Yay for labor!!! Can't wait to hear everyones birth story and see all the babies!!

[Teles]

After having a sob fest over the fact that I would be pregnant for the rest of my life and would have to be induced, etc, I went into the living room to eat some breakfast and choked on a piece of bran from my cereal, causing me to cough intensely... and breaking my water.

[kellybeth]

Teles sending you so much love! So so so excited for you. I could not deal with labor and no sleep so i have been trying to sleep through it. been a rough night. they are intense now. gonna get my hospital bag together, make hubby coffee and wake him up. it's that time.
