After 3 hours at the hospital I've had another S&S and an induction date booked for the 25th. My cervix is just not playing the game like my first pregnancy. I'll have the balloon catheter inserted the evening of the 25th at 40+1 with the hopes of it doing something by the next morning. Fingers crossed this little stubborn boy gets a move on by then! If not they are looking at a Caesarean possibly on the 27th.

Sorry he isn't ready yet lilmonk. I hope you go into labor on your own.

Glad you have a plan, lilmonk, but hope you can go into labor on your own instead.
39w6d today. I still have felt no real contractions. I'm hoping baby comes ASAP but kind of hoping to avoid a 4/20 birthday because of the pot connotations. So hopefully something magical happens I go into labor when I get home tonight and have baby tomorrow. I am so done with traffic and dealing with people. I wish I could start my maternity leave early but I don't want to lose out on possible days with baby.
This early labor phase sucks ass... is contraction Tuesday going to be a thing now or will this actually turn into something. We shall see, stay tuned!
Yes, I'm trying to make humor in light of my annoyance and frustration

TMI question but curious if you ladies who are still pregnant have lost your plugs yet/how long before baby those of you who have delivered already lost yours? I didn't lose mine until the day I went into labor with DD so I was surprised when I was asked at my last appointment if I'd lost mine yet and the doctor assumed I hadn't had any progress at all based on that (she did check me anyway after asking, just seemed to jump to that conclusion).
ThankfulSnail no, and I didn't prior to active labor last time either so I don't really expect to until active labor.
With DS1, I was checked at 5cm and thought my water had broken right as my OB was washing his hands after... turned out it was the loss of the plug and bloody show.
Unless I'm one of the weirdos who loses it by a slow and icky stream of mucus over days... in that case, maybe?
ETA: I was 2cm and very soft last week, progressed to 2.5cm, almost 3cm, 60-70% effaced and very soft as of yesterday. With DS1, I was 2cm 50-60% at 39w and 2.5cm 60% at 40w. When I was admitted with DS1, I was 3cm and 100% effaced and still had not lost it

ThankfulSnail I was 6cm when they admitted me Sunday and still hadn't seen mine. I didn't "see it" but the MD commented they saw some after They broke my water and I was 8+ cm. So totally possible to never see it.

38+4 today and nothing is happening. Lots of movement last night, but I also stole all of DD's cotton candy out of her Easter basket and ate it. And a popsicle. Or two. I have a sugar problem.
I want to take DD for a walk to the park, or to 7-Eleven for a slurpee, but I'm terrified that's when it's all going to go down. Water breaking, contractions, the whole production. We still only have one vehicle for the time being (I'm procrastinating badly) and I would have to call DH to come and get me (he's 20 minutes away, at best), then we head to the hospital, which is about 30 minutes away.
I think I'm just going to sort more baby clothes today, but I need more baby hangers. We had more hangers than we knew what to do with before we left my IL's, and now we are in a severe shortage. Maybe there's some in the garage.

I didn't lose my mucus plug or have bloody show until my membrane sweep at 40+4

I went from 0 to 3 cm in the last week! But cervix is still very high so I couldn't get a membrane sweep. I'm feeling much better about everything having seen some kind of progress, though!
