Ok, BTDT moms, I'm wondering if any of this means anything or if it is nothing.

Last night, I woke up with TERRIBLE cramping. I tried to go to the bathroom, but got nothing. I went back to bed and layed there for an hour or so with these off and on cramps. I finally got back to sleep and woke up this morning with more cramps.

After weeks of being constipated, I have a terrible case of the poopies! I have heard that can be a sign your body is starting to clean itself out before labor, but then again my sinuses have been stopped up for the past few days and so I think that might be the reason too.

And all the sudden, I can't bend at my waist like I was able to a couple of days ago! I leaned over to kiss DH who was sitting at his computer yesterday and felt a lot of pressure on my pelvis. Also, normally when I bend over to put my dog on his lead to go out I have no problem getting down to him. Now I have to bend at my knees to try and get him. I'm about ready to make him get on the sofa to do it.

So, could this be the start of something? Or just wishful thinking?

I can't have this baby this weekend! Sunday is DSS's birthday and I don't want him to have to share it with the baby! So if she is coming, She needs to do it either really soon, or wait a week or so!:lol Besides....I promised my friend that I would wait until after she got back from vacation!

Sounds like you could be getting closer...The trouble bending at the waist could be baby dropping, which can also help with constipation (baby no longer sitting on that part of your intestines anymore, etc.). I do want to warn, though, I had horrible cramping and back pain, was 100% certain I was in labor, and turns out, I had a UTI. So, keep your water intake up! But, at the very least, it does sound like baby has dropped!

Sounds like maybe the baby has dropped lower. At this late date, I think anything new is interesting and a sign that things are picking up!!

I agree with the other posters....I keep thinking I want the baby to be here, but when he/she threatens to actually arrive, I start to freak out and think no no no I'm not ready yet!:lol

Yeah, it sounds like she's dropped for sure! (I'm a little jealous... a certain little boy I know LOOOOVES mommy's lungs :lol ) That could be what's causing all the changes, or she could be getting ready to make her way out! Hehe... nothing more fun than looking for all those labor signs!
