So i'm 38+5 weeks today and i woke up with rushes this morning, they lasted for about 2 hours and then fizzeled away. I've been feeling very crampy all day and decided to go eat Japanese for dinner....well ever since we ate the rushes keep coming and feel fairly strong. My belly get's as hard as my knee. I have not lost my mucuos plug yet, I'm praying that this is it or at least close to the end. I'm hanging out on a labor ball thinking that will help open up my pelvis. I almost didnt post because i didnt want to jinx anything....but i want to get al the mama vibes i can right now. I'll keep ya posted :

That was my Friday... stuff going on all day and then I went to bed that night and have had nothing since. I'm not due for another week, but I was so excited to be done with pregnancy. I really thought it was going to happen. :

I bet you're making progress but it could be awhile yet... i had regular contractions on Sunday that were getting intense... my midwife told me to shower and go to sleep...they lasted about 4-5 hours...and i did fall asleep eventually and now they've been coming irregularly since then... but the great thing was that the week before the baby wasn't engaged, and as of my friday appt., the baby is engaged at 0 and we're 75% effaced, so progress is being made, and now with the baby's head pushing right on my cervix in all these contractions, progress will continue to be made.
i guess it's prelabor until the cervix starts dilating, then early labor, and it's best to get rest, distract yourself, and if it stops it's not time yet, so conserve all your energy, but don't be discouraged, because progress is happening...:

Thank to all of you, i'm having an emotional day today...everything is making me cry...i'm also not holding in my feelings or opions to anyone....and my family is like wow...ok..let it go. But really i feel like i have to get it all out so i can feel better. Do they not realize that i am 9 months prego's and miserable and i have to tell it like it is? I feel like i need to be selfish right now. I need to take care of me and i cant take care of everyone else! I'm a single mama to 3 right now and i need everyone to understand that! Ok enough venting.

So nothing much has started over the past few days. Still uncomfortable 24/7. Today i've had more cramping then normal and even had a burst of energy to clean up a bit. Hopefully this is the begining of something. I took Ds to the movies at the mall yesterday and walked around for 20 min before the movie and almost didnt make it back to the movie theater. It's getting harder to walk for any length of time.

Yesterday i had bh for about 4-6 hours then they stopped when i went to bed last night. Then this morning when i woke up they started again and lasted all day long. I started to time them and they ranged from 5-10 min all day. They are stronger today than yesterdays. But..i laid down for a nap this after noon and they went away. Geez..how many more days of this? It is really making me tired, i went to bed real early last night and took a nap today. I havent lost my mucus plug..no mucosy discharge. I keep thinking positive...but still it's hard to stay positive when nothing more is really happening. I even tried to check for my cervix yesterday and couldnt feel a thing....ughh..ok i need to stay positive here...labor is coming..soon :

Sounds like the story of my life. lol. I've been having BH contrax all day every day since saturday night. It's getting really tiring. Oh, and mine are 10 minutes long. lol. They aren't any consistent amount apart... but all of them are about the same length of time. And just a little bit ago i had a more painful one that was really annoying... and baby was kicking during it! So not fair... lol.

Last night i started having clear looking discharge...didnt think to much of it. This morning when i went to the bath room i lost my mucous plug....yipeee..i'm so excited. I almost started to cry. I was so happy. I'm praying that baby will come along very soon. Like with in the next 24 hours....

[spanica]

Yay! I hope you are holding your baby very soon!

Oh mumma as a doula I tell all my clients to expect to go to 42 weeks and then you can be pleasantly surprised when the baby is born earlier. :

Sending labour : :

Keeping fingers crossed that things start soon for you mama! :
