Nothing like losing your MP and having contractions to kick my butt into gear

NewFamily09 · December 2010

My c section is scheduled for Tuesday, but last night I couldn't sleep because I kept having contractions- not timeable, but definitely more painful. I also discovered I am losing my MP. I even noticed when I got up to check on DS that my underwear was wet, but I don't think it was my water breaking because it has since stopped. I'm actually hoping all these signs don't mean I am going to have to go to the hospital soon because I really wanted to be home on Christmas with my family. Plus, we have no family nearby, so we'd have to hand over DS to a neighbor, and who wants to have to babysit on Christmas? Anyway, I'm pretty sure I still have time, because all these things happened several days before DS was actually born with my last pregnancy. Still, I am now doing some final loads of laundry, finally finishing packing and cleaning. Please don't send me labor dust. At least not until Tuesday.

I'm having the exact same issue! Losing MP, contractions, and I've gone #2 about 10 times in the past 24 hours, and you know what the old wives' tales say!

I have an induction scheduled Monday. I really don't want to miss Christmas with DS!

Here's to hoping neither of us go into labor today!

Good luck ladies. Take it easy tonight at any celebrations.

I'm hoping to make it through Christmas, too. My EDD is December 27. I've been losing my MP since Monday and have had off and on crampiness and pelvic pressure.

Best of luck to everyone -- here's hoping we can still spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with our families before the LOs arrive!

I hope that each of you dont go into labor today or tomorrow!!

Sorry to hijack your post, but can you tell me what losing your plug over a few days is like?

Color, amount, etc?

TMI of course, but have you ever had a cold and when you blow your nose it's kind of globby and gross and yellowy? Well picture that when you wipe your hooha. Gross, I know.
