I'm a first time momma. Also with no signs of labor at all. (37 weeks 2 days) the doctor I have told me yesterday that since I'm healthy and this is my first baby she wouldn't be surprised if I held out till 41 weeks. So be happy that baby is still moving and growing and getting nutrients from you now. There is no reason to get freaked out that the baby is still inside you. You've have the baby in you for 9 months practically. I'm in the same boat. Waiting. Don't worry it will all make sense sooner or later.
I question your definition of clean. You are the most disgusting poster on this thread and you can't even see it.
Really? I didn't use the f word, I just stuck up for somebody that you all decided to bully. You're rude and obnoxious. Hence the comment about Americans. I rest my case.
I think it's absolutely AMAZING you can judge 1 entire country based on 1 single internet forum that is worldwide! Go to Baby Center if you want unicorns and rainbows. I'm sure your MUCH valued opinion will be appreciated there. We, however, have much more fun over here and in order to get support we give support. Which includes reading OTHER people's posts and noticing that this same topic has come up at least 3 times this week. If you come on here selfishly looking for others to comfort and validate you, then plan to also stick around and give that same support in return. You have been far less than supportive, calling names and being insulting. Go home.
And we've actually invested in each other, and been caring toward each other for months. You come in and insult and curse us out... Yeah. I wonder why that wasn't received so well??
Ladies its really not that big a deal I'm a first time mom and I was just concerned and anxious didn't know that was a crime I wasn't trying to offend anyone. Seriously And if you don't like this post why not just continue with your life why stop and waste time just to be rude about it.
I'll say what I like. As they have to me. Assholes anyone??
I thought you were going back to "baby bump" two hours ago.
To the OP, your baby will come whenever he "Deziahs" to do so. Do you like my joke?
But seriously, I was showing no signs with DS at 38w5d, and then he was born at 39w2d. It was a quick, healthy, and relatively painless labor, and I wish the same for you and all of us. The waiting is not easy, but there's not much else we can do at this point short of medical interventions.
People are so rude on this. I remember being a FTM and it would've made me more relaxed knowing people are in the same boat as me. People need to quit being mean to other moms. On that note, I am 37w3d with my 3rd, had my blood show 3 days ago and nothing but contractions and cramping since. I was at a 1 1/2 cm and 50% effaced but even then those numbers mean nothing really.
I agree, that has discouraged me from asking anything since joining.

We were all new here once though, remember that. Nobody came in here already knowing everyone. We just spent time investing in each other, and not just asking our quick questions and leaving never to return again until we have another need of our own.
@ReeReexGold People did give you good advice here and on the post about name spelling ( I was one of them ) that got no response from you except a nasty one about knowing you werent full term. As a ftm myself, I lurked for months on the site and board READING LOTS AND LOTS OF POSTS and occasionally commenting. I learned a lot from these ladies and saw them answer the same questions over and over again, sometimes the same topic and question asked on the same page multiple times. I also watched MANY people come on here and start a bunch of threads just to never return or acknowledge any of their answers.... quite frankly, it can be a little annoying. My personal suggestion, take the time to read through a few pages of the threads and maybe contribute to a few of them. A simple congratulations on a birth story is an easy icebreaker or posting a belly pic to HDBD will always get you some love, because even "assholes" love babies inside or outside. Sorry this turned into a novel but I for one am sick of watching these women get bashed because they arent coddling random people who dont want to invest the time or energy into even trying to get to know them or contribute.

Seems like you need a life, sorry most of us have those and can't spend all day investing our time into a website to make online friends that team up on new people.

Thanks! You're a peach! And, no one spends their entire day here. Sorry. It doesn't take an entire day to support a couple people. Nice try though,
Do bingos only count from one poster? Or an entire post? Cause we may be getting close here!

Then why in the world would these same people want to respond to your random questions? If people didn't invest the time, there would be no board. If there is no board, then no questions would be answered here.
There are people who are invested in this board - some more than others. But all with any level of investment know to read the other threads (at least the most recent ones) before posting the same questions over and over.
I was to busy to reply & just because I didn't reply back to everyone comments doesn't mean I didn't see them an appreciate them.
Some of yall are just bullies an it really not nice
Throwing the term "bullies" around degrades the term and takes away from those who actually are bullied.

This! I don't post much (zero experience as a FTM) but I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned from these ladies! A simple search and you can 99% of the time find your answer. I think they have a ridiculous amount of patience considering how many repetitive posts there are. Just lurk a little and you'll see
@NicoleMarie0914 okay I understand and I apologize I came at you snotty cause I felt attacked but I understand what your saying im kinda new to this whole thing I don't have ppl around me to talk to about these things so I thought coming on here would be a good way to get advice from other mothers who have been there that's all again I apologize to anyone I offended next time I will just read other threads instead of asking questions I guess
There are no signs.. Doesn't matter if you're dilated/effaced or your nasty plug came or you're having BH contractions. Signs simply don't exist with labor. My water broke when I was taking a nap during my first pregnancy, you can go into labor spontaneously. Why is everyone so impatient for labor? Why not enjoy some days of rest and worry about things when it's time.
Why does it always devolve to "You guys are so mean!". Why can't we always appreciate each other, and be helpful and supportive. I mean, we are all moms or moms to be, so golly gee willikers, maybe we should just close our browsers instead of replying with information that could be helpful. I mean, when I post on internet forums, I really don't like it when someone disagrees with me, or makes me feel like my problem isn't the biggest, most important thing ever!
Darn it you silly Emus, why aren't you more supportive?
I mean, it isn't like I called any of you assholes.

This is where you lose me. Maybe it is more of a FTM thing, but there is definitely anxiety and excitement when it comes to waiting on labor. I've never been through it before, and honestly I'm more anxious about knowing when it will happen than the actual labor itself. Not to mention, I'm uncomfortable and just want to feel like 'me' again instead of pregnant me. There's nothing wrong with feeling impatient.
@NicoleMarie0914 okay I understand and I apologize I came at you snotty cause I felt attacked but I understand what your saying im kinda new to this whole thing I don't have ppl around me to talk to about these things so I thought coming on here would be a good way to get advice from other mothers who have been there that's all again I apologize to anyone I offended next time I will just read other threads instead of asking questions I guess
No, ask questions. Just hang around more and read other threads. You'll find most of your answers there. If you don't, ask questions.

Feel free to ask questions, just maybe try searching the board first. And in this case, all you would have had to search was the first page. Anyone is welcome here as long as they don't come in pushing and shoving! And please stick around to tell a couple new moms congratulations, and a few good lucks. We had similar experiences with everyone coming on here asking about their hospital bags, and we had like 3 of the same question all on the first page with some really helpful responses. It gets boring after a while, and we don't like boring very much.

And maybe don't tell people they need a life... especially since you said yourself you don't have anyone to relate to other than internet strangers... I have a lot of friends and family, but they get tired of hearing me talk about my pregnancy. I come here because everyone can relate. Simple.

Yes the anticipation is fun, but why not spend time preparing for it instead of obsessing on the internet all day over signs. One thing I have learned in life is that when you are really anxious for something it won't happen, and the minute you take your mind off of things and focus on something else it usually does.

You're right, there's nothing wrong with feeling impatient, but there's nothing any of us can do about it, and we don't know when someone else will go into labor so why bother asking? We're all anxiously awaiting our LOs, some are more ready than others but we're all in the same boat right now... The Random thread is a great place to post "OMG i can't wait for this baby to come out already!" it doesn't need it's own post.

Lol that's acually funny thanks for the laugh
I've been 'round these parts since April 2012! Can I get a bully badge?
Darn it you silly Emus, why aren't you more supportive?
