So, yesterday afternoon I got the "sense of urgency" to get things done. I had mild crampy type contractions start up. Last night I walked the mall and they were 2-3 minutes apart lasting only 30-45 seconds. When I got home they slowed down. I rested and went to bed...waking a few times from them and going potty. Not too serious. Last night and this morning I was SO SORE....my pelvis/vagina were achy! So I know something is goign on. Dh rubbed out my back/sacrum, etc b/c the low crampy contractions had moved from the front to the back. Then we napped and it all stopped! I'm ok with things going slow and easy, but being over 41 weeks it'd be nice if active labor wanted to start. I don't want to do anything like stipping membrances or castor oil b/c I want things to move forward the way baby wants. Especially having a HBA2C!!! I'm so excited to birth vaginally and meet this baby. I can't wait to find out if my babe is a boy or girl!

Glad I could come here for support!

I am sending lots and lots of positive "Come on out and meet your family, baby!" vibes!! Have you tried DTD? I know at 41 weeks you may not be in the mood but it might move things along. :wink Keep us posted, Mama!!!

I am sending labor vibes for you....I hope you go soon!!!

Have you tried crawling around on your hands and knees? That REALLY helped my labor get going...that and stairs!

I've been walking and yes we DTD today and will probably again! :wink At least it's fun even if it doesn't get things moving. Ya know, when things didn't pick up earlier after DTD I realized that baby isn't ready to move faster, so I shouldn't try to do anything too invasive (already know this, but have to remind myself when I"m soooooooooooo close!)

Thanks for the support mamas!
