I don't know how much longer I'm going to last. I'm not really in pain anymore. It's not discomfort. I feel this sense of urgency... my contractions are picking up like someone gave me pitocin (without the pain) and I can't sleep through them. I can't talk through some of them--which didn't really happen with Lilly except during transition. My brain keeps going away and all there is is my body. I feel like things are opening. This evening, I felt the baby moving down--not dropping, but moving my hips out and wriggling down lower until I felt like I should be able to look down and see a hand hanging out and waving at me, lol.

But my SPD seems to be much better--it's rotten at night and if I slip, it feels like I tore something, but I'm moving fairly freely and relatively pain-free.

A lot of things remind me of Lilly's pregnancy, except it's all happening sooner.

My contractions are coming so fast these days and so long... I can't imagine that it will be that much longer. But then, one can never be sure. I was so sure Lilly would be here by 38 weeks from symptoms, but... but this time I've done it before and I remember certain things. I think it might be the next week or two when it happens.

I'm really glad that your SPD is feeling better! I'm also excited about babies form our DDC to start showing up - so I hope it isn't much longer for you!

I'm so glad your SPD is feeling better! When do you hit 37 weeks?

I've dealt with some real pelvic pain too, and I've notice recently that the baby is much lower, and it seems to have relieved a lot of it as well! But it has caused in increase in BH contx too! I don't know that I will go early at all, but..... who knows.

Just keep an eye on those contx, make sure they don't get too rhythmic and regular, some times preterm labor, even when your close to being "term" can be painless and sneaky.

5 days. I had this feeling at 32 weeks that baby would come at 36, but I was freaking out hoping baby waited until 37. I'm pretty sure I'll make it to 37 right now--baby's not dropped and my MP is totally intact.

I'm not too worried about just 'going' and not knowing--I'd rather it happen that way. UC is still something I'm quite open to

But there's no rhythm--I just feel like one big walking/sitting contraction. It's like they almost never stop sometimes. I drank like 5 glasses of water last night and they just kept getting stronger and I was like... um... should they be STOPPING? lol

We aren't totally ready, DH wants me to wait another week, but I really am content with baby coming in just 5 days

I feel ready. It came on pretty suddenly these past few days--I had been so distant and not really feeling much and then suddenly, I feel like I should have a baby soon, like I should be putting it on my 'to do' list: "Pick up bird food, make marinade for dinner, bug DH to change cat litter, have baby, get SPOC wrap and bassinet from basement..." lol
