Calm before the storm

heamhol

I am 39 weeks and 2 days. The past week I have been barely able to walk, move, even roll over in bed due to the intense pressure and pain in my pelvis. Last night however around 1am the pain all went away. I was able to get out of bed without help and with ease and this feeling of ease has continued throughout this morning. I'm curious if anyone else is going through or has gone through this? Is it true what I've heard that there will be a calm before the storm /labor?

I haven't had the pain you mentioned. But I was sooo exaughsted! And last few days I've been feeling GREAT. Better energy, been able to get through the day and take a walk. I've been wondering the same thing! Here's hoping it's a sign baby is coming!

I have been experiencing this too and it's freaking me out!! I am 39+3 and getting induced on Thursday! My feet almost look normal and they've been beyond swollen for several months. I have had TERRIBLE carpel tunnel for several months also, I have to sleep with wrist braces on both arms and it wakes me up throughout the night - I haven't worn them in like 3 days! It's crazy!! I am getting way more sleep and feeling more energized in the last week. I have also dropped a few pounds in the last few days?! Altho... oddly enough, my heartburn is wayyyy worse - UGH!! I hope it is the calm before the storm and I go into labor before I'm induced!!

There's really no way of knowing. I have my good days and bad days!

I am the same way... Carpel tunnel has improved, feet don't feel as swollen, heart burn has improved despite eating spicy foods. We are looking at inducing on Monday 5/23/2016 if he doesn't come by my due date on the 22nd. Even my coworkers have commented today that I'm walking faster and look like I feel good.
