39 wks rant, i just want to have my baby already.

I am 39 weeks . I have been having BH since 34 wks. At 38 wks I was finally seeing some progress with 1cm dilated and 80% thinned out. 
ever since i have lost my mucus plug this friday morning and then again yesterday(sunday) night.no blood at all just a hint of yellow tinge .  after that i have been experiencing some regular and irregular contractions but they are not painful but very uncomfortable. Addding the pressure on my cervix or just down there and cramping and lower back pain that come and go.  The baby moves through the contraction so much sometimes it makes it even more uncomfortable, but i am glad I still feel him move makes me knowthat he is ok. My water hasn't broken and  all these signs still haven't led me to call my OB because i see her in 4 days. TBH the waiting game sucks. Baby is due 12/20 but he gives me signs he might be here sooner, then takes it all away. Anyone in the same boat?

    Sounds like you're making progress, only a few days until your due date. Hang in there! Nothing is happening on my end, i'm 38w today and baby isn't making any moves.... yay me.

    I'm in that boat! 38.2 today & ive been having lower back pain that radiates to my front & down my legs, tightening, headaches, pressure pressure pressure. I know it's not labor but it's really annoying. I'm also a scheduled c so I'm trying to tell my body "there's no reason for this!" Lol

    I'm 38 weeks today as well and am having cramping, back pain, lots of BH etc but I'm pretty sure it's just my body preparing, but I'm not expecting the baby to come till 40 or 41 weeks cause first baby. :grimace:

    I went for my 38 week appt today (I'm 38 + 4) and was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. A bit disappointed that I wasn't farther & now all of a sudden baby is measuring a few days behind. Which seems strange, at 35 weeks he was in the 79th percentile!!! I wish I fully understood what all of that meant!!!! Fingers crossed for you that you guys go soon and have a happy and healthy delivery!

    My due date is 12/20 as well and I haven't had any signs of labor. No BH, no mucous plug/bloody show, etc. The closest thing I've had was 2 days of brown-tinged, thick discharge but then it went away. I'm very impatient as well but keep telling myself that he'll come when he's ready! Hang in there!

    I'm also 12/20 due date and 1cm dilated! Went to my appt today and left feeling sad because my doctor told me I'll probably still be pregnant at my appt next week. Wahhh!

    I'm also due on 12/20 and ready for him to get here already however my husband is away and doesn't fly in til Saturday so I'm hoping he stays put til then!! I have been dilated to 3-4cm for the last couple weeks now but no major action yet, just the usual aches and pains, and BH.

    Due the 28th and feel everything you mentioned. At 36 week check wasn't even dilated. I'm a repeat c but still have no date scheduled. DH told me to enjoy my last few days with just our 3 year old cause it will be harder with LO. I told him I'll take learning a new kind of norm with 2 kids then continue with the physical pain. I just want my baby in my arms!!!

    I'm in the same boat if not worse. Exactly 39 weeks and my symptoms have all disappeared. No more back pain or BH! In fact, I could almost swear my stomach is getting smaller and higher lol. I've been 1cm for over three weeks. Only positive sign is at my last appt doc told me my cervix is softening and thinning.

    And a friend of mine who was due a few days after me just had her baby today! Ugh I'm jealous!

    Having delivered my son 9 days late, I tried going into this pregnancy thinking that I'd at least go to my due date (which is this Friday). But here I am, miserable at 39w4d and just wanting baby to come. I've been having contractions on and off for days but no pattern yet, and I'm feeling so much pressure that walking around feels so awkward and uncomfortable. But I can't really relax because my son is 2.5 and very high energy/needy. And even though I'm exhausted, I can't sleep much and am starting to wonder how I'll have the energy to deliver!

    Sigh. We are all almost there, right?

    I'm with you girl. Two weeks ago was 1cm then last Friday had regular contractions that went from 4-11pm, then nothing. Lost my plug yesterday so I feel like I'm getting closer but BH and contractions have basically stopped since Friday. Remember ladies you man can contribute to dilation and thinning of your cervix by allowing his prostaglandins, aka sperm, sit on your cervix. Also, you produce oxytocin when you have an orgasm, this is the same horemones responsible for contractions! So basically, what got you to this point may help get you out :) get to loving and bringing those babes earthside. And remember your not going to be pregnant forever!!!!

    38 + 1 and miserable. But the house is a mess, the nursery still not 100% ready, and our Christmas tree remains in the living room undecorated. So if baby wants to wait a bit longer, I'm okay with that.

    I was! My EDD was 12/19. I stopped taking it easy Sunday night and decided that I was having the baby, I stopped complaining and enjoyed my day. I went to my parents for dinner of Belgian waffles and along with my younger siblings decorated the tree. Then SO and I took what we said was our "last bump" photo. I got home around ten, took a long hot shower and at 11PM my water broke. I think it's the power of positive thinking. Good luck.
