My MW stopped over yesterday and left the birth kit. I'm getting super excited looking at the stuff.

38w1d-bp 90/60, urine good, measuring kind of smallish (35cm) but good growth from last visit, so no worries

Lots of irregular contractions. I fully expect that I'll go to 40w.

mama_in_PA, hope the castor oil does the trick!!

As of today I am 40 weeks. I've been feeling crampy since nursing Abby this afternoon. I'm going to have eggplant parm for dinner and hope for the best LOL. I wish I had a DH around to help get things moving.

Ok ladies, I believe this is it! Woke up a few minutes ago to some pretty intense contractions with a thump/pop and a little gush. Went potty and there's more fluid and some pretty substantial mucus. Can't talk through contractions.

Good luck Katie!!

Happy laboring, Katie!

I'm kinda getting freaked out at all of these fast 2nd labors that have been happening around here! My mw lives an hour away and I'm not sure if I will even recognize when I'm in active labor (you'd think this wouldn't be a concern of mine having been through labor before, but I guess I just needs something to worry about! ).

I had bloody show earlier! I know it can still be several days, but yay! No real contractions but I am feeling A LOT of cervical pressure.

CherryBomb: Exciting!

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm in labour... I suspect I'm just imagining it, but I do feel kinda rotten. I stayed home from church this morning feeling sleepy with really achey thighs, and had a nice hot bath and slept most of the morning (bliss!). I haven't done anything active this afternoon... you know, like getting dressed... but anyway, I feel generally discontented and slightly upset-tummyish, and I had some pretty ouchy contractions before. They seem to have disappeared during the last half-hour or so, though. I'm debating whether to drink some RRL tea to encourage labour, or to try to take my mind off it and hope it goes away!
