I saw there was some recent activity on this thread and I was Hoping someone was in labor. So I could live vicariously through them. I am not overdue yet but DD came 6 days early. And I had signs of labor 3 days before she made her arrival. Being 2 days from my due date and not having anything going on labor wise is really making time drag on and me impatient.

What labor signs did you have for 3 days last time?

Some bloody show i started having regular somewhat painful contractions a day after that and had contractions for about 24 hours before i finally pushed her out.
I had lost 3 lbs at my appointment yesterday, which Google tells me is an early sign of labor. Go me!
I didn't know that! I lost 3 pounds too at my appt. last Friday so maybe that means this is my last week? Although this little girl seems quite happy where she is.
I just got back from my appt. Still sitting at 1.5 cm but up to 50% effaced now. She swept my membranes too so we will see if that does anything! That was certainly uncomfortable lol.
I've been having a ridiculous amount of pressure and bh ever since I woke up this morning. I told H that Sam will come in the next day or so, just because it's the busiest week of the year at work for him and my mom and grandparents are out of town, so of course labor will start when I'm all alone and that's how life works lol

My husband just told me the baby cannot come next week because he has a big inventory he can't miss. Ok, dork. You're talking 38 into 39 weeks so there is a possibility he could come and you aren't missing the birth for any inventory. Sorry if you aren't officialkt on vacation until two days after the due date.
For the record, I blame my OB for my insanity. I was totally expecting to go to 39+ weeks (even happy about it, because I was almost induced early and didn't want that) until she opened her big mouth and told me at 36+6 that I wouldn't make it to 39 weeks.
Then she rescinded that statement. Then did a sweep and told me a 50% chance of labor in the next 24 hours. Then stated multiple times that I am not allowed to go into labor next week because she's on vacation and she has to deliver me. She even seriously told me not to have sex next week so I don't go into labor. I know I'm a medical special snowflake and I would absolutely appreciate continuity of care, but cmon, don't tell me I'm not allowed to go into labor from 38.5 - 39.5 weeks.
I love how crazy us pregnant women get during these last couple of weeks of pregnancy as evidenced in this thread!
I feel like I'm in the TTC tww all over again, scrutinizing every little symptom haha!
I was just thinking this!
Also - I realized today that the doc didn't offer to sweep my membranes but scheduled an induction. Should I have asked? Maybe he couldn't because I'm not dilated enough? Should I still ask?

Since I got home I have also been having tons of back pain and possibly BH....
So, really dumb question. What do BH feel like to you? I feel like I should know this as a STM but with L I didn't have any and my labor started with really strong contractions so anything before like 1.5 minute long contractions is new to me... I have been feeling a lot of pressure and my stomach and back get really tight on and off.
sarcaztic10 to me my whole belly gets really tight and looks kind of cube-like. Sometimes pressure that feels posterior like he's trying to push out my perineum lol sometimes cramps. Sometimes back throbbing.

Can I confess that I watch my dog's behaviour around me for labour signs? Right now she was looking at me as I crawled into bed and usually she just lies down with DH and ignores me. What does it mean, dog?!?! Tell me!!!
So I think I'm having contractions...they feel different than my usual bh. The top of my belly gets rock hard at the same time I have pressure and cramping really low, it lasts about a minute, and then fades away. I'm also having a lot of lower back pain. They've been going on for about 3 hours at this point, coming at least every ten minutes or less. Trying not to get my hopes up, but this is different than before so it's exciting!
