All of the birth announcements make me happy for those who are finally holding their LO, but I am truly green with envy. I have been having ctx 10-15 min apart ALL DAY, terrible back pain, and lots of discharge. I walked the mall all day with Mom, bro, and SIL (who is due also and in the same boat) and no changes in what I am feeling. I lost my plug 2 weeks ago and I have been having irregular ctx for 2 weeks in addition to being 2cm, 80% effaced and baby at -1. DH and I DTD last night and then this stuff today, but still no "real" labor or LO. Since this is my first I keep worrying that I am going to miss something happening and not realize it is time to go until it's too late or... lots of other irrational thoughts. I am sooooooo ready. And I would think babe is too since he keeps putting more and more pressure "down there". It is getting uncomfortable to sit. Am I alone here?
Any suggestions on what I could do to help things along?

I always go past my due date, and during the last few days I remember reading stories of others delivering just before I did and feeling envious too. It sounds like your body is doing some serious work though! Before long you'll be holding your little one. The last few days of waiting are hard especially if you go past your due date.
