40 weeks 1 day

And so it begins. Had two hours of steady contractions between 1:30 and 3:30 am (yesterday). Not super painful but very steady (every 4-7ish minutes). Went away. Went to bed. Woke up losing chunks of my mucus plug, semi-steadyish contractions for a few hours. Did a few things around the house, took all of our blankets to the laundromat so they’d all be nice and clean (we have a washer and drier but each blanket is a load, so I didn’t want to deal with that). Contractions completely stopped…can’t reach my cervix to check dilation but baby’s head is RIGHT THERE (like I keep considering having sex to speed things up, but, tmi, I don’t even know if we COULD her head is so low). 

There’s this ad at the top of the screen that is making me murderous…anywhoooo…

Woke up today, tons of pressure in my hips and lower back, menstrual cramp feeling, diarrhea, lost more mucus plug, contractions here and there…did a few things and went to Target. Still just having tons and tons of pressure and tightness in my hips. I also feel kind of nauseous, hungry, and very tired (despite sleeping for like 10.5 hours).

We’ll see if it goes anywhere, I know it could drag out like this for another week or more but I’m really kinda hoping it doesn’t, lol. I don’t feel like my house is 100% ready but at this point I don’t even care, because between being tired and the achiness and the contractions it’s not like I’m really able to get much done, so I might as well just go into labor. Everything that HAS to be done is done. The crib isn’t sidecarred, but it’s up, and the sidecarring CAN be done when we bring her home. 

Haven’t mentioned anything to anyone in person or on Facebook, people are waiting anxiously enough so I don’t really want to give them any hope that it may be soon because that will really get them going…

Ok, I’m off to my grandparents for dinner.

You’ve lost your mucus plug so watch for the bloody show, when you get that you know its gonna happen relatively soon. I had slow labour for 6 days before I went in to actual labour through being induced…and then had another two days, so if you can induce yourself with sex, then go for it because I really dont recommend the medical inductions. xxxxxxx

Sounds a lot like my pre-labouring (I had all of the above symptoms and birthed my son 36 hours later). So good luck to you!
