Sounds like things are happening. Wether or not they mean labor has started is very hard to say just relax and see if the crampy feeling keep coming gets stronger and more intense. Good Luck to you and a happy birthing. May you soon feel your baby in your arms.
Am I there? :)
'Due date' is April 10th, this morning I felt sharp pains in my lower belly and a general and quite uncomfortable tightness all around. Also pressure tickles on what feels like the mouth of my cervix.
I'm mucous-y (haven't lost the plug to my knowledge) and feel stretching in my vaginal area. Been having period-like cramps off and on, sometimes moderately severe and at regular intervals (4-8 minutes apart).
I WANT TO MEET MY SON. Am I close? Anyone? I'm so nervous and excited and the suspense is suspenseful!

The way my previous midwives explained it to me really helped.
Every new development is like putting change in a jar. It all gets you closer to having a full jar, some changes more, some changes less, but they're all progress.

You're closer! Could be this week, could be in 3 weeks, but you're closer.

After battling prodromal labor for 6 weeks with my last baby, I have sworn off believing "due date"s.

I'm just a bundle of new-mom anticipation!

So exciting!! I'm in the same boat as you, due 4/11, and every little new sensation has me wondering, oooooo, maybe this is IT!! I've gone a bit early with both my previous labors, so I hope this one is the same

I hate to say it, but I had this exact same stuff going on for weeks before the birth.

Make no mistake, though, it *is* happening. Just don't get discouraged if it does so slowly.
