The plug is gone!

I know this isn't entirely indicative that labor is imminent, but I couldn't be more excited!

Got up this AM before DS and at the end of my shower there it was and it kept coming. I had some very mild contractions on and off down low last night so I figured something was going on!

I went 41w5d with no outward signs of labor with DS. Induced with Prostin (you want to have your baby at the birth center don't you? said medwife).
26 hours of labor, AROM, meconium, transfer, drama, section!

I don't know what going into labor on my own feels like and I am so thrilled that my body is doing this on it's own

Baby steps...my baby know when to come. I will be patient. My baby girl and my VBAC are coming!

Patience to us all still waiting

How exciting! Isn't it a great feeling to see signs that your body really DOES work? I'm in the same boat....I've never gone into labor on my own. I would have a couple of contractions or think I had a leak and would rush to the hospital, only to be almost immediately hooked up to Pit and AROM. I'm *due* tomorrow and had some reddish CM this morning, so it's good to see that something is happening, even though I know I could go another 2 weeks.

I figure if I take a trip to Target I could tempt my water to break

Aww, it's alright to be excited ... I'm excited for you!! It won't be long now. Really. I was so d.o.n.e. as I approached 40 weeks, and my mw reminded me I would be having my baby in days. Days. It feels like forever, but it isn't .
