How much longer can this take? (vent)

For the past few days, I have been feeling a little different, like extra tired and extra nervous. On Thursday night, I lost part of my MP, and last night, I found a lot more of it. I have had much more frequent than normal BMs recently (sorry for TMI). I have also been having PMS-like cramps for the past few days, and it just started a few days ago. So I am hoping I am in that pre-labor stage and the real thing will come in a day or so. On top of everything, my cervical pressure has kicked up a notch as well. Last night, I had trouble sleeping due to the belly cramps, combined with belly tightening, and cervical pain. We debated going to the hospital at one point.

My OB seems to think that I will go into labor between 39 and 40 weeks. I am praying she is right. I've been walking a lot every day, drinking RLT, doing the deed with DH, bouncing on the birthing ball, and am hoping LO comes before next weekend. I'm going to go out now, do some shopping just to keep busy. I will prob buy some pineapple, lol.

I could really use some "labor dust", ladies. TIA

Anyone else in the same boat?

    The first paragraph of your post (aside from considering going to the hospital) is what I've been experiencing exactly.  I hit 40 weeks tomorrow and I have an OB appointment at 8:45 so I'm hoping we'll get some good news. 

    Definitely planning on doing the deed again tonight with DH to try and coax her out.  It'd be pretty cool if she were on of the 5% of babies actually born on her due date :-)

    Good luck!

    I feel exactly the same way.  I mean for crying out loud I lost my plug two weeks ago had my bloody show on Sunday and have been on my feet walking for 8 hours a day.  My DH and I have been intimate and I eat a steady diet of fresh pineapple with every meal.  (As well as having DH juice one so I'm drinking it too!) 

    Yesterday I felt compelled to have every little thing in the house put in it's proper place (even if it had no proper place before yesterday and even mowed the backyard cause I didn't like how DH was doing it.  (I know I'm nuts!) I was a freaking whirling dervish.  With laundry and dishes and bathrooms and scrubbing floors on my hands and knees.  (With my BFF and DH thinking it was funny watching me get up!) I only quit working cause DH drew  me a wonderful bath after I cleaned the tub. 

    If this baby doesn't decide to show up soon I may just go out of my mind with trying to get him here.

    Yep your post describes me to the T.  I am really hoping that I get a super burst of energy in the next few days and my house will really get cleaned then.  (Although it is pretty clean now since my mom has been helping me get it in order.)

    Crazy to think in the next two weeks I should have a baby.  Not sure I am ready for this responsibility.  LOL
