cant get labor started for nothing... :(

I have become so disappointed ;(( I will be 39+6 in 40mins and I am not feeling no type of labor pains. Yesterday I lost my mucus plug and had contractions but nothing regular and today I haven't had any. It is getting a little upsetting. I'm so ready to meet my daughter!!!! Just wanted to vent a bit.

I hear you. I am 37+ weeks with twins and having been having labor-like symptoms for 2 weeks. The doctor says 'anytime now.' The waiting game is hard and confusing and frustrating, but I try to think of it/spin it as my last chance to have 'quiet time.' Once the baby gets here, life is gonna change bigtime so try to find some solace in waiting if you can. It's hard, but it may help a little.

She isnt so much stressing over it as she is just being disappointed in that she had thought she was ready to go and suddenly she's at a stand still. Kind of like getting exciting about something fun that you've planned for and have waited for then suddenly it gets cancelled. Least thats how I figure.

Besides at least shes not 35 - 36wks begging for help in having her girl early. Shes considered full term.

Done stress your baby could still stay in there for another 2 weeks and that would be ok.  Ill never understand women stressing that their baby hasn't come before their due date.

Me too.. my midwife estimated my baby at 7lbs at 36wks. At my last appointment I was dilated to a 1. I'm sure with the contractions I have dilated a bit more. At least I hope so.

I am in the same boat!!!  I'm at a 4 and having contractions here and there. My edd is Monday. My sone came at 38+4 and he was 7lbs 13oz. So I'm nervous that my lil girl will be huge.

If my daughter comes she will see she has a HUGE one. I just hate that I got so excited and now I am back waiting. I'm either waiting for labor or waiting for my appointment this Monday :( both seem too far away.
