    Any signs of impending labor yet?

    I had contractions that were about 7 minutes apart all Saturday afternoon and into the night, but they've stopped. Just the usual braxton hicks for me. I'm so eager to meet my daughter. And she feels so low down and ready to come out! How about the rest of you? Any signs?

    Ok, it's been more than a week since that and in the "false" labor department pretty eventful. I had contractions all day the following Friday (this past, the 11th) but I had a fight with DH who didn't believe that I was in labor and was unwilling to be with me and help me intensify. But my mucus plug came out. Yesterday morning my midwife checked me out and said that I was only 1 centimeter dialated and 50% effaced, the same as two weeks ago! And then my mom and dad arrived from South Carolina yesterday expecting to meet their little dgd. I've been drinking huge amounts of rasperry leaf tea and going for walks every day. Last night DH sucked on my nipples for a good half an hour and then we had sex. I am trying to be zen about this whole thing and failing miserably.

     LOL...i couldn't help but laugh at the sheer honesty of thisHappy ROFL....lol,,,,,i have been trying to get my DH to assist me.....too in some ways but to be honest althouhg i can initiate it and get it done in ways we women all know......I AM IN THE LEAST OF MOODS!!!!!!' but it has to be done soon as i am seriously struggling now....seriously...i am literally at my wits end....i wobble all over the place and i cannot fit into anything anymore apart form my the last maternity trousers i bought 4 months ago and one top....everything is now streching over my stomach and trousers are pushing me form underneath......my heartburn is a champion at 24/7 and i am sweating like and stinking like a skunk within half an hour of a shower of whihc i have about 3 per day!!!!!

    i have begun nipple stimulation via squeezing milk out.....

    maybe ask your husband to perform a strech and sweep on you???oi got mine to do it twice a day with DS2 and it did enhance any contractions i had....obviously taking precautions and using surgical and antiseptic gloves you can get for the chemists......i am sure that should help move things along.....alongside the nipple sucking and the BD!!!!!!LOL....you lucky girl you.....Happy ROFL

    much good luck to you.....

    i had amazing early labour signs around week 33 and 34 and now...nothing i am extremley pissed off...............

    love yas

    I asked my DH to just see if my cervix felt any different and he can't even find it! After a few atempts, he can't find it!

    I know baby could be born at this point and be fine, so him missing work a couple times lately because his boss is being a jerk because DH asked to be kept local (he's a truck driver) was freaking me out because we are strugling financial so bad already! I just wish the last month didn't have to be this crazy wait and see game! IT's starting to make financas so stressful and I just want her out so the stress of possibly going into labor when no one is arround to help me, will end!
