That's what happened for me. I was super tired the day before but no labor signs. I woke up at 3 am and was in labor immediately with diarrhea, consistent contractions, everything.
Dang I was super tired yesterday. Did not wake up in labor and feel just fine today. Oh well...
It WILL happen and soon. None of them stay in forever.
The waiting is the worst part, especially being a FTM and not knowing what to expect at all! I have to keep reminding myself that it doesn't matter what's going (or not going) on with my cervix, whether I'm dilated or not has no bearing on when I'll go into labor. I just hear all of these stories of women who woke up in the motn to contractions and think "I wonder if/when mine will start up?" Just sitting here impatiently waiting for something to happen haha
FX you don't have much longer to wait. comicSans I'm at 38+5 currently and when my OB walked in today he said "I can't believe you haven't had the baby yet!" Lol idk but I thought it was funny lol he said he won't let me go past July 21
comicSans I cried when they checked at my 39 week app and I was 1 cm and super high. My OB told me my cervix was near my throat. I was scheduled to be induced 6 days later (GD). I went into labor spontaneously 4 days after. It can change in an instant!
Today is my first day of woozy, heartburn, weepy, flashes in my vision symptoms in a while. I felt so good yesterday (all things considered). I've already cried today for no reason at all. I've had more BHs too. I feel like any decent day is followed by a fall apart day now.
Thanks! I keep trying to convince myself that maybe my body is super efficient and I'll start having contractions, diarrhea everything out, and lose my mucus plug all at once with no lead up. I am kind of worried though that my body just doesn't know what to do. While my water broke with DD I never really got to consistent contractions without pitocin. I'm not looking forward to having to decide about induction possibilities or an rcs.
mcktymck I almost feel like being a STM the waiting is worse for me. I'm expecting to go into labor the same way and at the same number of weeks as I did last time, and I'm afraid if I don't (which will probably be the case), I won't know what's going on or what to do. I pretty much feel as clueless as I did last time!

I hope it happens for you soon!!!!
I feel so anxious and hate the waiting. I had ds at 38 wks 2 days. So in my head, things should get moving. Im only 38 wks, 4 days. I keep telling myself, this is normal to go past 38 weeks! Haha
I am getting induced on Tuesday. So, that helps a little.

Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning for my parents arrival tomorrow. I've had some stress with them lately (telling me our parenting decisions are mistakes...I had to put them in their place...drama) so I'm not really looking forward to their visit. Blah.

Yes!!!!! I just wrote this!
+1 for being a STM and still feeling like I have no idea what is going on. Last time I had no contractions or pre-labor symptoms until BAM full-blown labor hit me. I also had a weird labor last time due to her posterior position. I still feel clueless and now I'm super anxious about getting someone to pick up DD before we can go to the hospital.
Thanks for the encouragement ladies, it really does help. Waiting for my appointment now. I judged a pregnant lady slow waddling through the parking garage. She probably has spd or something and is really that uncomfortable, but I was like oh please, I'm way more pregnant than you. A couple with a newborn (probably 6 week pp checkup) just went in - so jealous!
Someone gave ds a nice big brother gift... In a gift bag covered in glitter. Now my toddler and newborn are glitter covered. Glitter is the worst!
Glitter is pure evil. L brought home a picture of fireworks that they did with glue and glitter and I didn't realize it was covered in glitter until I got to my car and it was all over the passenger seat and my hands. I turned around to L and said "why would Ms. A use glitter, why would she do this to me?" His response was that Ms. A likes glitter.
I really don't know if being a FTM or STM is worse. As a FTM, I had no idea what I was looking/waiting for and everything was new. Waiting for #2, I'm having contractions and my first thought is "these goddamn things again." because I know that I'm just getting them and that they're not timetable and thus useless. Sigh

With my first, I was expecting to go overdue so when I went into labor at 39 weeks it felt like it came out of nowhere. This time, I'm questioning every little thing too! I woke up crampy this morning and had a couple of contractions, then nothing. I wish I knew when it would happen!
I love glitter, I'm the teacher that parents and custodians hate because glitter!
Just a fingertip dilated. Not enough to do a sweep. I'm not surprised, but very disappointed. At least i held it together until I got to the car. Scheduled a bpp for monday morning.
I was induced the first time around at 37 weeks and never really had contractions before then so even as a STM I have no idea what to expect if I actually go into labor. But these off and off contractions can go suck it. I just want them to be consistent and stick around instead of the mind eff.
AFM, I only have one and a half day of work then to the hospital on Friday morning at 4 am to get induced. Come on Friday.
