Let's get this rodeo started!

Went for my 39 week appointment. My doc said he doesn't do internals until I pass my due date- so I am unsure about that situation, but I'm pretty sure I still have my MP and the baby hasn't dropped yet! Oh my goodness. I am so ready to get this show on the road. 

 I've been doing the cha cha slide and the twist dance all morning, eating pineapple. I'm anxiously waiting for my husband to get home for some loving.. I hear sex helps get things going. Any other tips?

Did you ladies know right away when the baby drops? Can it happen overnight? Or is it a very sudden *bam! the baby dropped - kind of a thing?

     Hang in there, we are almost there!

    I bounced on my exercise ball for like 2 weeks in advance of my EDD with DS, DH and I had sex a bunch, and I stayed super active.  At my 39.5 week appt I wasn't dilated or effaced but he was low.  I went into labor a couple days later when I fin

    Yeah, I heard relaxing your body and mind helps because stress can prolong labor.

    For me, everything seemed to happen only after I started experiencing contractions.  I never felt baby drop and never experienced any of the other tell tale signs that I might go into labour soon.

     I didn't start to lose my MP until we
