Yep! When is your due date? I'm due somewhere between aug 1st and 8th. Lol. My cycles were always 21 days one month and 28 the next. When i had my weekly appt on Monday (yesterday) my doc said I was 50% effaced with a nice soft cervix and she could feel the baby's head. And to stick close to a hospital because she said it could be any day. Lost most of my plug yesterday morning (tuesday) and just lost the rest of it now. Moving around doesn't seem to slow the contractions, if anything when i go from sitting to standing it just brings them on. Eating that ginormous bowl of cereal hasn't changed anything either. Doing the debate of calling in my dad to come watch the tiny human while we head in to see if I'm actually in labor or not. This is all very similar to my first.
My due date is the 7th. I was 1cm last week but pretty firm. No sign of my mp yet. This is how my first labor started also, but it lasted 36 hours so I am in no hurry to head in until these get bad.
I can understand that. My labor was just under 11 hours from first contraction to birth last time and they say your labor is usually much shorter with subsequent pregnancies. Mostly I'm trying to keep tabs on intensity, I don't want to be the woman that had her baby in the car!

heavenwhip I am totally with you on the no baby in the car! I was induced because of high bp with my 2nd so I only have my first to base it off of. I do however feel like they are getting stronger. I am currently debating on whether or not I want to hop in the shower. Keep us posted if you head in.

I really really hope this holds true for subsequent pregnancies. From water break to birth, it was 9 hours for me. Quicker than that would be awesome.
with my first, from first contraction to birth it was 6.5 hours. Talk about a short labor!

God forbid I fall asleep before I remember to take my Unisom. Guaranteed I'm up fighting nausea a couple of hours later. I just ate some toast with jelly and a huge blob of jelly fell down my shirt into my bra. Trying to wipe it up with a dry paper towel caused a sticky mess, so I had to get in the shower. It felt SO gross. My husband sleepily asked me what I was doing, I told him, and with his eyes still closed answered "you really got yourself in a JAM, there..." and fell back asleep. ADORE that man.

More awakeness. Really? 4am? Our cities farmer's market opens at 7am, I may as well caffeinate and shower at this point. My brain is like "eh, you've had 5 hrs of sleep, that's PLENTY" and my body is like "what the hell. I'm always tired lately anyway."
I haven't really slept at all yet. Maybe spurts of 45 min? Up until 2 (falling asleep after 11) when DS woke up crying. Been up since. Just ate a bowl of cereal and moved to the living room. This.sucks.
I'm here too. I've woken up every 2 hours to pee but this time I fully woke up. Not cool body. There is something peaceful in knowing DD and BF are sound asleep - uninterrupted TCFing.
H is working, which is part of my insomnia problem.... I will hopefully get some sleep when he gets home. Not counting on it though - seems DS likes to wake up earlier on mornings that I have to get up with him.

The silver lining - a bowl of cereal all to yourself and TV time where no one steals the remote and adjusts the volume non-stop. Maybe this is only a silver lining for me haha.

My parents are here this weekend (luckily staying in a hotel nearby). Last night was a late night so when I went to bed I told DH "please let me sleep as long as possible tomorrow morning"
....so naturally I've been wide awake since 4! Gah!
I'm up too. Our security alarm panel decided to light up and it was so flipping bright. No clue what it was doing, but it woke me. Now I'm having all sorts of cramps.
I've had tons of Braxton hicks over the last couple of weeks, but not cramping. Naturally we have a full scale date night planned today, complete with a hotel room and a fancy dinner. Plus my birth photographer is shooting a wedding. I REFUSE to have this baby today. You hear me baby? Not a good day!
Third time insomnia has kicked in this week. Been up for an hour trying to get comfy/sleepy with no avail. I may just start tackling my to do list so I can take a nap later with minimal guilt - if my schedule allows for it.

Ugh, @mamazbo, right here with you only I wish I could call this insomnia. Woke up 2 hours ago with some serious "intestinal distress," shall we say. Of course I'm convinced now that I've either contracted listeriosis or am in early labor (thanks, Internet) and will now never sleep again. Sigh.
Count me in for up a zillion times and bathroom issues. its been a horrible night and i really need the sleep. i think this headache that I've had for the week is due to no sleep.

sorry about your intestinal situation. I decided to use the time to do some grooming pre induction. I am shaved, showered and lotioned up before 5. I am sure I will be ready to fall back asleep just as dd wakes up.
So I'm on the way the way to the hospital. I got up to go pee and right before I got up heard a pop and a gush. And a few more gushes. No contractions though.
I'm freaking out a bit. I'm not ready. I mean I am obviously, but I'm not.
Gifs, prayers, and well wishes would be appreciated. I won't start my own thread until I'm sure it was the breaking of waters.
purplegaloshes after barely being able to go the last couple of months, I swear my body is clearing itself the heck out. And naturally that has to mean I'll go in to labor this week, right? One can only hope. I'm so over being pregnant.

And not sleeping. That sucks.
I'm also clearing myself out. So much intestinal pain! That means any day now right?!
purplegaloshes, I had intestinal distress once a day for like 6 weeks during 2nd tri. I thought listeriosis also but didn't end up having anything wrong that my dr could find. It resolved on its own, so try not to worry

Hahaha--glad to hear I'm not the only one having such a crappy time. *WHOMP WHOMP*
I finally fell back asleep at like 4am until 8am but now am up with more of the same pain. It could be a long day. I don't think I've ever missed Pepto Bismo so much as I do at this moment...

I fell asleep so quickly tonight which was awesome. Then a big storm rolled through, waking me with crazy lightning. Now I'm uncomfortable and wide awake. I know many people love them but I hate storms at night.

I also fell asleep early and am now wide awake! I feel hungry still and I just finished two pieces of toast and a bowl of cereal. Debating more toast...

We went river tubing yesterday so I passed out early till my H woke me up practicing the drums. They are electronic so quieter than normal drums but still make noise.
I also fell asleep early and am now wide awake! I feel hungry still and I just finished two pieces of toast and a bowl of cereal. Debating more toast...
Ah toast sounds so good right now.
It was amazing. I even had more just now. FFMC: That's 6 pieces of toast I ate tonight...
