Signs of labour to come

Hi guys

I am at 38 weeks and 1 day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a bit of mucus last week but it did not have blood in it, but it
looked like it had egg whites in it, could this be part of the plug????

Also this week I have been feeling really good, like I have heaps of
energy, I have been sleeping better and have finished up at work.

Also my bowel movements have got heaps better aswell.

My house is completely spotless, I have cleaned it top to bottom, it
looks great and all of my washing is up to date and the house just
feels like it is ready to have a baby in it.

Are these signs that labour may be just around the corner?????

I cant wait any longer, I want to start getting contractions!!!

Im not even scared about labour at all, I havent been scared the whole
time, I just want it to start as every little niggly pain I get or
anything niggly I start thinking "is this it"???

I would really appreciate any comments on things that anyone got a week
or days before labour!!!!

Regards
Chanelle

Sure, these are all signs of impending labor, but they could still
go on for another 1 to 4 weeks!

Well, they could be and they might not be. Fun, isn't it?! :)

Well, with my first I had an internal done, and I was not effaced or
dilated. I went into labor early the next morning. I had no contractions,
no bloody show, no globs of plug. My water broke, and I knew it was finally
it. My second was pretty much the same. My third was different, though. I
had a week of the plug letting go, so it is so variable!
