i know the baby will come when he's ready.. but... i was just wondering if you think im pretty close. i feel really horrible right now and am thinking i might go any day now...

Tuesday i was 2cm 60% effaced, and having some pretty intense (but highly irregular) braxton hicks... back ache, and now tummy cramps. i pretty much feel horrible. my breasts are leaking more today and the baby is fully engaged. it feels like he's scraping my cervix. thats the most painful part is the scraping feeling.

i'm having some contractions.. nothing regular tonight. just cramps and bad backache. oh and btw i will be 38 weeks on monday. just wondering what ya'll thought.

i was 37 weeks on dec 12th and went thru a very similar night, my BH were HORRIBLE and it took a lot to NOT go in to L&D. I ended up going into the doc for a check up on the 14th and she checked me and i was 6 cm and 85% ! I went to L&D 2 hours later and that night i had my second son. Good luck it could be really close!!!

try to relax, sometimes being tense will keep you from going into labor.  I hope it's soon for you.

hard to know.  i guess just treat everyday that you are going to go into labor...like eat well and make sure to get as much sleep as you can to gear up for the hard days work.  good luck!

Good luck,

If you can stand it go for a walk, sometimes that helps move them down and help increase the pressure.

Just think you're alot closer to the end than the beginning! :)
