I'm just jumping on the faithlovehope bandwagon. Not two days after starting such a thread she has her baby in arms. Just letting the Labor gods know, I'm ready! Pick me, pick me!

Still here. I'm not due til the 28th but this is the week I had my first son so I guess I was kind of half expecting to MAYBE have a baby by now but I'm okay with waiting. I can't read too many birth stories though or I get all weepy and want to go into labor RIGHT NOW just so I can have my own story to tell. And my own teeny newborn...

I'm here- migrated from SEPTEMBER! Getting ready to migrate to November, but not without a lot of tears.

I'm tired. I want my baby sometime before 50 weeks!

You are totally next in line! Here are all of the labor vibes I can muster...

Me! I have had so many things happen over the last 3 weeks, that for my next baby I will NOT tell ANYONE when anything happens until I know "for sure" that I'm in labour.

4 weeks ago: period-like cramps that were lasting 2-3 hours/day
3 weeks ago: passed a little bit of dark blood & had cramping
2 weeks ago: experienced first bit of real contractions lating 1-2 hours
1 week ago: lost rest of mucous plug with a little bit of blood
Sun-Wed: contractions every morning from 5:30-7:30 am
yesterday: contractions from 5:30-2:00 pm
this morning: nothing so far

Admittedly, I'm a little frustrated and very impatient. There has been so many times I've thought "hey, this might be it!" and then things taper off by the afternoon and it's a bit of a let down. I always assumed I wouldn't get frustrated or be impatient b/c I really truly do believe that the baby will come when the baby is ready. I also think that by me divulging what has happened (pregnancy-wise over the last 3 weeks) to family & my three best friends that now I'm getting stressed b/c I keep getting the "have you had the baby yet?" questions constantly. I almost feel like guilty like I should try to make this baby come b/c everyone is waiting on me!

OK, I think I just needed to get that off my chest. I don't want to feel stressed or under pressure to have the baby, but I am. I had a major let down on Tuesday night - sat in the shower and just cried. DH finally heard me and came in to just let me know how much he loves me and that everything will be fine.

OK, enough of a pity party. I know that when the time is right, the time is right. Today, I'm heading to Starbucks for a chai latte in honour of my official due date that will inevitably be wrong (lol) and then off to see the movie 'Queen' with my mom. She thinks that it is is better if my water breaks while sitting in a cushy theatre seat rather than in her car!

Hang in there still-pg mamas!!!

Holy crap. I should have read the responses before I wrote my pathetic story! Yikes, okay, you totally have every right to bud in front of me and every other mama on the October due date club! Lots of labour dust and vibes to you!!!

Still here, still waiting. But not officially "due" until next week. However, my midwife is on call this weekend and we have a low pressure weather front moving through tomorrow. So I'm trying to be a bit more "prepared" for it to happen.

when does scorpio begin? This little bugger- who knows what the heck it's waiting for- better NOT BE capricorn!

Any tricks on how to get a baby out with sheer will? :

Oh, and keep the labor vibes comin'! They feel good.

We change into Scorpio on Monday night,late.Capricorn's would be late Dec-Jan babies.

So i am a week overdue.Very swollen and tired.This is my 5th baby and i really would like him to come on out so i can feel better physically.I have too many kids to care for right now on top of being this pregnant.And my husband has to be out of town next Wednesday for the whole day and can not get out of the appt at all.He will be completley unavailable from 5:30am-8pm that day.And my helper during labor(for the kids etc.)is his mom who will be with him at this appt.She can not get out of it either.So if this baby does not come before then,or even on that day i could be in some serious trouble.Well,ok,i could try to birth on my own with 4 children but shoot what if i'm in full blown labor and have to get kids from school.Ok,stressing about the future.I'm ready,that is all!

I've thought from the start that my baby wants to be a Scorpio. But I'm being seduced by the early labor signs I'm having (a few "sit up and take notice" contractions per day, some show) and starting to hope this weekend might be it. My most recent romantic notion is that we were married on 6/21, so if baby comes on 10/21 it'll be starting the same lucky-number streak as when my parents were married on 11/27 and had their babies on 8/27 and 7/27.

But we'll see. Which date did I put in my siggie? I think I'm 40w1d or so...

My estimated "due" date was yesterday. I've had a few hours of contractions every other day this week, but they never get regular and eventually fizzle out. I've been losing bits of the mucus plug since last Thursday. Fortunately, no annoying phone calls from family yet since we purposely never told them the EDD for this pregnancy. We vaguely said "late October/early November." And we refuse to share any information about contractions, cramps, etc. if they try to question us about that stuff. So for the most part, we're waiting peacefully for our little guy to decide when he's ready.

I'm still here too. I have had some more regular contractions in the past few days...I "think" my due date is around the 29th to 31st. My first babe was "late" and my 2nd was "early" so I have no idea when this one will come!! Sometimes I wish sooner (so that I can get out of some school work) and sometimes I wish later (so that I can get my school work finished and not have to worry about it!) But other than that I am comfortable and happy!! Good luck mamas-especially those who are WAY past....

If anyone is on the East Coast like me, Scorpio starts Monday morning, 9:27.

I'm still here too. Wow this baby might just end up being a scorpio after all. I had pretty much figured she/he would be a Libra, like daddy.

I'm here too!! My edd was yesterday, feeling good. Getting a manicure today and running errands. My husband wants a libra, I don't really mind either way. I am a libra so maybe I am a little partial to libra's. I REALLY just want my little baby so I can kiss its nose!!
