Waiting for labor to start seems endless. FTM here and don't know how to mentally distract myself from counting down the days. Everything is ready for LO arrival...
Same. Would like to sleep through until true labor officially comes but sleep hasn't happened in months. I dread going to work at night because it's so hard to function but I guess having that part or my schedule remain regular passes some of the time/days...
Working still is a good distraction. I'm on maternity leave now, plus with all the swelling I've been having and the fact that LO is sitting so low...work wasn't an option anymore. Sleep tends to be late at night/early morning only...with a nap in the middle of the day.
I had my dd on the 6th and remember the feeling. I had no true contractions until an hour after my water suddenly broke and then ohhhh man. Lol. I analyzed every little change I noticed with my body and obsessed over it like crazy. Hang in there! It will be here before you know it.
