What were some signs that you were having your baby soon?

Waiting waiting still waiting over here.........

Anyone have any good stories about mucous plugs, bloody show, nesting urges, and other good tell tale signs that baby would come soon????

I would love a time table for this little dude, but alas, babies don't come with an actually birth date.......hehe

I've been getting bits of mucus plug here and there for the past 3 wks or so.

Had a few days in a row with really strong crampy contractions. Then they stopped and then started again for the past 2 wks or so.

Had everything sort of slow to a stop when I got a nasty cold and was sorta doing a bed rest thing because of wicked back pains.

Now nothing.

I had none of the signs until i started leaking fluid at the start of labor.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any obvious signs with any of my kids. Although, I was very obsessed with looking for signs. Every time I cleaned, I acted like Fred Sanford. "This is it" I would tell my husband. "This is the big one, I'm coming to meet you, Maya" I'd go to bed & still no labor that night.

This is so frustrating, I know! I had a little bloody show for about a week, and lots and lots of contractions for a couple of weeks. The day I actually went into labor I woke up with lots of energy, got a bunch of things done, took a nap, ate dinner, and started having serious contractions. I guess the burst of energy was a sign, but that had happened a couple of other times, too. I seriously thought I would never have this baby, but now that he's here, I feel like he's been here forever.

It's gross but, diaharea, just before I go into labor. Both times.

My labor came really suddenly but I had lower back cramps, swollen feet and the cold that I had cleared up in one day (my body telling me it was time to get to work )

I only saw it in hindsight, but I started doing all sorts of things to prepare for the homebirth on the day I started labor when I had other more "pressing" things to do. I just felt like I "had" to do them, even though I "knew" the baby wasn't coming for another week or so!
