I’m 39 weeks and so over it

I feel as though I’ve had no “signs of labor” and I’ve been drinking teas, walking, sex, and nothing has been working. What I will say is that I’m extremely excited to meet my baby girl. I just want to know how did you guys feel before labor, did you have any warning signs?

So far I’ve had light cramping, Braxton hicks, and frequent bowel movements.

In the same boat at 38w5d! Nothing seems to make her want to come out of there any faster🤧 I’m excited to meet her + physically it’s getting pretty hard to be comfortable anywhere. Same “symptoms” for me as well!

I was having more frequent bowel movements and then yesterday I started having cramping that reminded me of period cramps. My mucous plug fell out at 9:30 and then my water broke at 1130 PM and I ended up having him early this morning.

I’ve been having the cramping for a little while over the last few days also. I’m really hoping she comes on or before my due date so I’m not induced. Also congratulations to you on your baby boy 💕

I'm in the same boat. I really don't want induced I have 5 days until my due date.

I’ve been having period cramps for about a week now that are not dull like they were before and frequent loose bm’s so I’m hoping it’s approaching.

Same boat! SO uncomfortable but zero signs of her coming and I’m due in 6 days 😅. I am 50% effaced but not at all dilated and I REALLY don’t want to be induced. Send haaalp.

I have 5 days and they wouldn't check to see if I was dilated until 39 weeks my appointment to see is tomorrow. I am scared of being induced.

oh really? My cervix has been checked every week since 36 weeks. Well, I don’t want to either, but I’ll do what I have to for a healthy baby 🤷🏼‍♀️ Ik once baby arrives, sure you may have to process any trauma, but the means to which they came likely matters so little compared to how wonderful it is to finally meet them 🤍

what does 50% effaced mean?

I still have a week left 😭

it means stretching / thinning of the cervix✨

congratulations

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
