Hi all! I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I just needed a pep talk... i'll be 39 weeks on Sunday, and I have nothing. No signs of labor, at all, whatsoever. I know its a ridiculous thing to be complaining about... I have the occasionaly BH, usually when I do a lot of walking. But nothing painful. No mucus plug, no nesting, nothing...<br><br>
I'm in WI, hubby is working in ND(800 miles away) until I call him home. (He can only be home for a week) My birth center is an hour away. My SIL flies in Tuesday to help me and to be there for the birth. I am a tad bit worried I will go into labor and either not realize it, or have a fast labor and not make it to the birth center... with my last baby, labor was only about 5 hours start to finish... at about 41 weeks. MW checked me at 36.5 weeks (she was going out of town so I wanted to be sure) and nothing was happening, still closed up tight....<br><br>
The past few days i've felt pretty good, compared to before feeling exhausted and depressed all the time. Think that means anything? I've also been sleeping pretty good, where before I was lucky to get 5 or 6 hours and never in one shot...<br><br>
I'm wondering if my body and/or baby is just saying, let daddy work as long as he can, like he wants to, and since auntie doesn't fly in until Tuesday we have to wait till then too. Or maybe i'm just odd... <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Btw congrats to the ladies who's babies are here!!
