Sigh, me, too. I'm 40w6d today. My longest pregnancy thus far with DD3 labor had finally started by this point and she was born the next day (41 weeks). I dunno that Jake's gonna make that same deadline...

I am still pregnant. Very sporadic crampiness, though I did have some bloody show make an appearance whilst peeing last night. That was very exciting. Nothing going on at the moment, though.

Bah. I'm still here too.

No real sign of anything happening soon. Still lots of crampy ctx's here and there but then again, that has been going on for the last 6 weeks.

I won't believe it is true labour until I feel the ring of fire and crowning.

Oh ya, I'm 40 weeks today too. I didn't honestly think I would make it this far.

It's a full moon tomorrow and Monday (depending on where you live), maybe that is our day!

Yep, my goodness.
I woke up several times last night with some pretty strong ctx.
That lead to nothing.
I'm so sick of this.. what would it be called? Prodromal labor? I've had it for a couple of days now. I can't imagine (please don't let me live it) mamas that have this for weeks!

Still here, too. I am hoping the full moon will help me out! didn't think I'd be pregnant this long...

I'm still here too. Due date has come and gone. With DS I was 10 days over so I'm thinking this one will come in her own time as well. Lots of contractions and bloody show the past few days but whenever I lay down or put my feet up they stop...

I'm very discouraged with my body right now.. I knew I would be "late" but I didn't think I'd actually have all of this activity with NOTHING to show for it. I bounce between acceptance and depression. I actually had regular contractions most of yesterday, when I checked my cervix last night before bed (just to see what sort of progress I might have made) there was absolutely no change.... i had a good cry over that. :

Nope but I'm still here, still loving the birthstories. Nic, I hope things happen soon for you... try to relax and enjoy being preggo for the last little bit, I know that's easy for me to say being done!

Nic, I know I should take my own advice but here goes...all the action that you are experiencing is not for NOTHING. Every preparation that you and your baby go through before the real deal happens is just as important as the labor that ends with a baby in your arms. I have been caught up in the frusteration and confusion over the weird things that my body is doing lately, too. I am a natural childbirth teacher (Bradley Method) and I have had such a different experience with this pregnancy than I expected. All that I know somehow doesn't apply to me because there are so many other hormones and emotions happening. It has been a challenge to separate my heart from my head in this whole experience. I have become much more sensitive to my students after all of this!

Anyway, after all that mumbo jumbo, I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and you being honest and expressing yourself to us has made it easier for me personally to accept that even with all I know, my feelings are normal...thanks.

happy prodromalling to us all...
Jessica

I'm not still pregnant, but I did have a week and a half (almost 2) of prodromal labour. Once dd decided to come though, I went straight into transition with the very first contraction : and she came out 1hr 10min later... so very slow and then very fast! Best wishes to you all

love and peace.

41 weeks today. Will this birth EVER happen???

I'm feeling very down. Very much like this will NEVER happen and that is scary. I've had to remind myself that I was like this in the TTC stage for this pregnancy. In fact, I was pissy and mourning the loss of another cycle of trying when I got my BFP. So I know that it CAN happen, even if your mindset is less than shiny and happy...which is giving me reassurance...which I NEED!

Also, all the crampy prodomal whatever-you-want-to-call-it is thrilling to me because I NEVER got that with my boy. He was just taken out of me in a rush after my water broke dramatically at the 35 week mark. So this time, knowing that this babe is full term and very very likely to be absolutely right as rain and ready to go home even if we DO wind up in the hospital (though I am still banking on my homebirth...but just thinking of a more complicated scenario possibility) well even that sketchy plan B is not that bad and would be a vast improvement to my first child's first days.

Oh, Racecar, I've always had the CRAPPIEST attitude and mindset by the time labor started with my past pregnancies. It's enough to make me wonder if a bad mood isn't some labor prerequisite for me...

Speaking of TTC, I find lurking on TTC boards to be amazingly good for my perspective. It's a nice little kick in the butt of my bad attitude to remember that it wasn't so long ago I was angsting over pee sticks and now I am days, even just HOURS (probably less than 200! ), away from giving birth.

Overall, though, I'm like Nic right now - fluctuating between acceptance and despair.

I'm still here! Although I thought last night was "it" because I couldn't sleep because the surges finally got serious! Managed a few winks this morning, and things have slowed since.

I think I'll do some accupressure and manual nipple stimulation to try and pick things back up again....

Oh, if a bad mood is predictive of labor then good, I'm a complete ogre right now!!! I never imagined this pregnancy going past the full moon. I had a serious talk with the baby this morning. I can't get to the idea this babe could actually be born in August!

Panthira's quote from just yesterday! Her baby is here now! How do we (or can we) change the poll results?

This gives me hope!
