re: how did you know?

Quoting ----&&:" I didn't have a mood shift like that with my first just spontaneously went into labor one night without rhyme or warning. I've been pretty blah this week but its just been a bad week overall lol."

I didn't feel like labor was coming at all, but my mood was so different. Idk if I just internally knew I was about to be done and become a mom. idk. But I had no signs, I mean, I was dilated and stuff but not a single cramp. Water literally BUSTED on my EDD and shocked me haha.

Quoting Asher's mommy [Expecting :" Oh my gosh! I posted last night asking if there was some kind of crazy hormonal surge right before labor! I've been a damn nightmare. Lol "

Lol! Well maybe!!!
I wonder how it's going to be this way. I feel like I'm going to go overdue, idk why.
I now have FIVE friends who were due late feb and early march who have had their babies. FOUR in jan (one in nicu still, one only for a week, rest fine) and the other had her baby last night. Everyone around me is going early, but I'm convinced I won't haha

My mood is I'm a complete bitch. More then ever! I cramp and have loads of discharge. I, just have a gut feeling she's coming soon. I dropped last week. There's a HUGE difference. I'm low now.

Yea I think I just feel crummy because I spent a lot of time cleaning the house nesting and this week its been impossible to keep up with between DS and SO and I'm tired and uncomfortable. I been stuck at 1cm for over a month and my OB decided to tell me that it didn't look good that this was my second child but I'm not progressing at all. So he went ahead and scheduled an induction. My water busted too with DS I was already in labor though lol.

I know exactly how you feel... that's where I'm at, too. My doctor and I think the baby is posterior which will cause back labor. I started researching ways to spin the baby, and I've found out that this can actually cause failure to progress as well. I'm starting to wonder if that's what is going on! (I'm only 1/2 cm dilated, not effaced at all) I'm trying for a VBAC and I just feel like every factor that could be against me VBACing successfully is completely against me.   Hopefully I can spin this baby!

Yea this one has been head down from the get go and dropped almost 5wks ago. There has been a ton of pressure on my cervix but its not doing anything. I'm just so exhausted and ready for him to be here.
