[SugarBeth]

It's my due date! I can't wait for this little boy to be here! I've been in early labor for a few days but active labor just won't start.

Hope your LO arrives soon!

3 days till due date here, no sign of labor at all...

 

[Kaiecee]

Hope everyone is doing good since Jacobs been born I have much more energy getting a lot done for Christmas but I still love my nap in the afternoon with both babies sleep

 

[Lara310809]

4 days overdue

I want her out, but I'm so scared of the labour

 

[Skadi]

It's funny, but I'm so not afraid of the labour this time around. I'm more afraid of not having this baby before my due date. I'm trying everything to evict her this weekend. lol

 

[Hoping girl 2]

Congratulations to all of those who have had their babies already, and lots of hugs to those who - like me- are still impatiently waiting to meet their LOs

Quick question... Just had my show this morning, which got me all excited...
Til I read on the internet it doesn't mean anything and it can still take up to 3 weeks for baby to arrive! Now I know each person and pregnancy is different but wondering how long before birth those who've already given birth lost their plug, and those who haven't, how long have you been waiting for already?

 

[Lara310809]

I have only ever lost my plug during labour, more or less when I was fully dilated each time, so I'm not a good one to ask.

I know it can take a few weeks for labour to start, and in those less far along than we are, the plug can actually regenerate. Don't think too much of it, though I know it's hard to not get excited.

Thanks! That's what I figured, but as you also said, I can't help getting a tiny bit excited! I soooooooo want baby to arrive before christmas. Oh well, here's to hoping!!!!

 

[DHBH0930]

From all I've read losing your plug CAN be an indicator of labor but it's not a reliable one since for many women nothing more happens for a while. You never know though! Hope its a sign of labor for you

I haven't lost my plug or had any labor signs yet... Due date 2 days away!


I have the worst headache, my DH was very helpful this evening trying to help any way he could. Reheating our hot compress, giving me neck and back massages, boiling water for me to lean over, etc, tried cold compress, hot shower, Tylenol twice, with some caffeine. NOTHING has helped I'm prone to migraines, also I don't have any other signs so not worried about pre-e, just miserable! Glad she didn't choose to come today, that would not have helped! Hoping it goes away soon do I can get some sleep and just not be in so much pain

 

[Lara310809]

I'm the same DHBH; I get migraines anyway, but this pregnancy has been pretty good. I usually get loads during pregnancy. I've had the same migraine now for the past four days; been in so much pain, unable to sleep through it, and I also start vomiting and have a loose tummy along with it. They are all normal symptoms for me, but I'm so sick of feeling this way. I'm getting frustrated because I know that within the week I'm going to have to go through labour, and I want to be able to sleep beforehand. I'm dreading going into labour right now, after having been tossing and turning in bed for the last four nights, and looking after two young kids during the day.

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

I lost my plug Thursday but still no sign of labour yet for me. I don't remember seeing my plug at all I my first pregnancy xxx

 

[Hoping girl 2]

Oh no, bless the both of you! These last weeks are so tough,
I can't even begin to imagine having to go through them with a migraine on top! Hope you two get better soon...

Nikki - hope you don't have too long to wait either! I'm just excited SOMETHING happened. After weeks of nothing I was convinced this baby was never ever coming out! At least losing my plug is a step in the right direction.... Now trying to walk loads to see if it jump starts anything else

 

[ready2Bmum]

So we finally got home from hospital yesterday. It felt like I'd never get home! I'm a bag of hormones and still working things out, but Muire is happy and healthy. My OH is just amazing.
Il write a proper birth story another time. It was all very dramatic but worth it.

My heart goes out to all of you still waiting to labour. It's such an unsettled time. I hope the stork comes to you all very soon.

Hoping girl 2 with my first pregnancy I had my show and my water broke 8 days later. With this pregnancy I had my show the night before my water broke although I had been spotting light pink for three days before the actual plug came out.

Sending lots of labor vibes to all of you ladies who are still pregnant! I can't wait to hear everyone's birth story!

Congrats readytobemum I'm glad you and baby are ok!

Afm Vayda is 8 days old and she is a wonderful baby. She is breast feeding like a champ and she sleeps all night! I have to wake her up every 4 hrs just to relieve myself and feed her but she goes right back to sleep at the breast when she is done. She is awake more during the day but compared to my first she sleeps more often. My recovery has been great too, I only had three stitches so the pain is minimal and I'm feeling like it was so long ago that I was pregnant I've lost about 17 lbs and I have another 16 to lose. I've been losing around 2 lbs per day so hopefully that keeps up for another week!

 

[Lara310809]

I'm so over being pregnant. Everything is a mission; SPD killing me, migraines driving me mad and over-emotional. Antibiotics I'm taking for my UTI have made my bits so dry and cracked that it hurts too. I want her out. People are telling me to enjoy the last few days of only having two kids, but I can't enjoy anything when I feel like this.

Also hating the run-up to Christmas because I just can't get excited about anything while I feel like this. Plus thanks to the chemical "relaxin" in my body (the one that relaxes all the ligaments), if I dare cry about my situation I end up vomiting.

I'm only five days over, but I'm so unhappy. At the same time every cramp I get makes me dread labour; I'm so scared seriously, I just need this to happen now so that I can just do it and get it over with.
