I know we've had a bunch of September babies. (My mw, who is on mdc, was in a July ddc several years ago and the FIRST baby was born July 14!) So, who will be the first October mom in October???
I am sooooo tired of the constant (5 - 20 min apart) contractions and swollen feet and back ache (from the contractions and babys position) and so on and so on and so on
also tired of the constant "how are you" phone calls and drop in visits - ugh ugh ugh

OMG YES!!! I appreciate that people are well-meaning, but as if I'm not frustrated enough, the constant phone calls make me even more frustrated. I have pretty much stopped answering my phone.
My brother's girlfriend was here for most of the day and I swear if she asked me one more time if I was about to go into labour I was going to burst into tears!
Plus if I go into labour, DP can start his time off work and I reaaaaaallly miss him! (he works in a different city than where we're having this baby)
My OB said my cervix is so ripe that it is not even funny. He is more worried about me making to the birth center than anything else right now, once contraction start.
I have had them for several hours today (some really strong BH ones).
At my last apt, I was 1-2 cm, but didn't tell me how effaced...just said my cervix was very ripe and pliable and once real contractions start it is probalby going to be over with fast.
So, I wonder if I am that close, if I have sex, if it will throw me into full blown labor.
Good Luck to you all! It won't be me, I am pretty sure. I have been having contractions that are fierce and they can be pretty regular too. Just when I start thinking "this may be it," they go away. I still have a while until my EDD by US (2 weeks and one day), and about 3 weeks to the due date I get with MY numbers. I actually feel patient right this moment. Tomorrow may be a different story though!
Yeah, i'm guessing it won't be me - still about a week and a half or so off, i'm supposing. However, my MIL is coming tomorrow - THANK GOD - because i am at the point that all i want to do is sit and wait for this bulge to descend, no patience for dealing with house/kids...

Uh, Bonnie, stop thinking, "this may be it." Seems to jinx you!
I am pretty sure I won't be first. My energy healer claims Ellen is super eager to be born, but she has firm orders to stay put until 10/2 - 37 weeks and legal for homebirth in WA - and, really, as of today, it doesn't feel like my uterus is doing much, which is fine. I have a ton of cooking still to do too!
I got annoyed yesterday because I have had my MIL the other week asked me if we thought that I would get induced and my friend asked me yesterday if I was booked in yet and when I asked her "booked in for what?" she meant booked in for an induction yet (I'm 35 weeks now).
I got annoyed. Just because I was induced with DS because of pre-E (not that it was planned ahead to be induced, it was sudden) doesn't mean that I'm automatically going to be induced this time around. Infact I don't want to be induced as I want to experience going into labour on my own thanks very much.
I'm going to be DONE being pregnant no later than Thursday! We decided that an induction was a good idea since we're a military family and planning had to be done in order to get a family member here on time from 'home' to stay with DD. But now I'm in a panic because that plan fell through. SO now I don't know if we should cancel induction and let things go on their own since I'm darned if I do, darned if I don't.
: I am freaking out now!
Oh yeah, and I'm nervous PBJMOM will be in labor at the exact same time as me and we share a MW.
Not me! I want to wait until the 10th. Lots to do. Plus, I would love to get some mroe love from the mws, I'm not ready to be almost done with that...they are so gentle and loving...I'd like to keep them around. When the baby comes, I will have to share the love.
I was officially due the 24th, my personal EDD was the 29th and all the boy babies in my family are notoriously late....sooooo..........
here I am "late" and nothing's going on. Seriously doubt it will be me. I've pretty much accepted that pregnancy is a permanent state for me.
I am wondering if I share the same MW's as the other two GA moms.........birthingright.com??
