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!

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!!!! 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! -- Joy Rose 1-99 Iris 2-01 Spencer 3-03 # 4 Oct 2005 |

By the time you read this, you will probably be ready to write a birth story. Carl |
