tick tock...

[natty529]

i am still waiting... little things are happening but i don't know if it means anything. i have been crampy on and off for a while and this morning i think i lost some of my plug... i wish so much that things would really get going!!!!

i'm going crazy!

[adtake]

Thinking of you! My labor went the same way...contractions allll day and allll night then most of next day. Nothing major but annoying. Labor went super fast though!

Hang in there!!

I am in prodromal hell here. 5-7 mins apart for hours and then gone, and then starts up again, then gone, then again. Ugh!

[smeisnotapirate]

Prodromal hell is a great way to put it. I feel like I've walked a marathon trying to get this kid out. I think all I'm getting is tired.

[SumnerRain]

You know, and it is so not fair either. My mom did not have prodromal labor until her third pregnancy.... ME. And I was her only baby born after her due date. So WHY oh WHY is it fair that ALL of my babies come with weeks of labor and are born after their due dates?? /end pity party.

I've had constant cramping for days and yesterday and today it's pretty uncomfortable - but nothing yet.

I'm close to *gasp* saying I've had enough and I didn't think I'd ever get to that point because I've been feeling so well.

[adtake]

Anything happening??

[natty529]

nothing to report really- just more cramps and a few random ctx : i walked around the mall and a few other places in an effort to start things up- but no luck yet...
but i feel like the cramps i am having are getting stronger and i am taking it as a good sign... maybe it will happen tonight, anything is possible, right?

on the upside, my mom bought me a couple of really cute loungy dresses from the gap on our trip to the mall today

[cj'smommy]

Still here too. The cramping was horrible yesterday/last night and I had BH all night. I had one lousy contraction early this morning but nothing since then.

natty - how are you this morning?

[natty529]

i'm the same... boo. i had a couple more random ctx this morning, but that's it.
and my dh is to tired to dtd! i asked him and i got rejected! he has been working nonstop so he can take a little time off when the baby arrives. he has one REALLY BIG show tonight and then he has a break, so maybe i will wake up in labor tomorrow morning. dh thinks that the baby may wait until my birthday, which is my actual due date (thursday)

anyway... i am off to get some lunch, buy a birth ball to bounce around on and look for some stairs to climb!

[natty529]

so, no baby yet but i went to my mw appt today and had her check me... she said i am almost totally effaced, that my plug is gone and that i am 1 cm dialated- i was hoping for more but she said that thes are all great signs... and in light of my almost total effacment and everything else, she stripped my membranes in an effort to kick it into gear (i asked her to)

so hopefully this babe is right around the corner

tick tock...
